Do you or your child want a diagnostic assessment for ADHD, Autism/ASD or Tics/Tourettes, or need support coping with these conditions? Or maybe anxiety, low mood, difficulties with relationships, or problems at school, college or work are holding you or your child back? In a complimentary initial session we will explore this together, and make a plan: this could be with me, or one of my colleagues at Neurodiverse Online if I think they are a better fit. We're a small, caring & highly expert team of psychologists working with neurodivergent adults and children.

Welcome to my page. I am an experienced person-centred counsellor offering long term or short term counselling to adults and young people from 10yrs upwards. Registered with the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) abiding by their ethical framework. My commitment to clients is offering a confidential, non-judgmental therapeutic space exploring any difficulties or anxieties that are present - I work with a range of clients and have experience in many settings such as bereavement/pre-bereavement, schools etc.

Hi, My name is Wendy and after 15 years of teaching, I decided to take my passion for pastoral care further and become a qualified counsellor. I work from a person-centered perspective but draw upon other modalities where appropriate to provide an individual approach. I provide a safe, welcoming and gentle space where you can express your thoughts and feelings in a completely confidential environment.

I am a therapeutic coach, tailoring my approach to the needs of the client- which might be different from session to session. My flexibility to move from therapeutic modalities to coaching tools is what makes my offering unique. I draw on 20 years of experience, including personal experience of mental health struggles. I use a person-centered, holistic approach. I consider all aspects of being, from physical to spiritual, to start the process of long-lasting positive change and strengthening resilience to whatever life throws at you.

I specialise in psychotherapy for performers in the arts and sport, helping people better understand themselves and their relationships with others. I am a qualified therapist, counsellor and performance coach working mostly online, but also offer bespoke services for those on set, on tour or in need of face-to-face consultations. In addition to my 4 year Postgraduate Diploma in TA (Transactional Analysis) Practice, I have trained in and incorporated CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in my sessions, and offer therapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, personal relationships and self-esteem.

Welcome to the world of counselling, you have taken the first courageous step: contemplating a journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. You may have a specific issue that is troubling you whether it be work issues, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or one of life’s crises. Alternatively, you may wish to work towards a more fulfilling and harmonious life; there are as many ways of experiencing ourselves as there are people on the planet.

We all feel overwhelmed from time to time. Psychotherapy is one way of dealing with a specific problem, everyday struggle, or a general sense of unhappiness. Whether you feel low or are dealing with a specific crisis, I see difficulties we encounter as anchored in how we relate to ourselves and others, based on my belief that relationships are at the heart of being human.

Life can become overwhelming at times. Sometimes there is a specific event or sometimes there can be general feelings of anxiety or depression, especially following the pandemic and these times of global uncertainty. Talking therapy can help to get to the heart of those fears, and uncover patterns of behaviour or thinking. I can be a witness to your story and guide you towards a more grounded sense of yourself. I aim to walk alongside my clients as we explore their world. Finding a therapist can be overwhelming, but the best way forward is for us to meet and take it from there.

My specialities include working with Borderline Personality Disorder, emotion regulation, interpersonal relationship skills, distress tolerance and DBT mindfulness. I help with important life changes, identity issues, existential dilemma's (who am I? what meaning can I get from life?), life crises etc. I work one-to-one with adult individuals (over 14).

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing things aren’t feeling quite ‘right’ in your life at the moment. Perhaps you’re struggling with some difficult thoughts or feelings. Perhaps you’ve hit a fork in the road and you’re unsure which way to go. Perhaps you’re not really sure what ‘it’ is that needs to change. I believe that opening up and sharing your concerns with someone who is trained to listen and respond to you, is the first step in working through them. While counselling can’t remove the challenging experiences that you're facing, it can help to empower you so you can move through them with strength and purpose.

I work in private clinical practice at Trust Therapy, East Sussex, and I am a Clinical Supervisor with CRUSE Bereavement Support (Hastings and Rother). I have specialised in Bereavement as a Therapist for the NHS with St Michael's Hospice (St Leonards on sea), and I have experience in working with trauma, abuse, severe and enduring mental health, and Neurodiversity within my private clinic and at various organisations, including Butterflies Children’s Therapy, CRUSE Bereavement Support, JHD Counselling, Sensoft, and Place2B Children’s Mental Health Services.

Jungian psychotherapy, sometimes known as depth psychology, is a form of deep reflection. It isn't problem centred but it does help to resolve deep rooted problems. The things that affect our waking life may be hidden from consciousness and experienced as a bewildering array of symptoms that appear to have no obvious cause. To complicate matters, these symptoms may be emotional, psychological or physical. Jung viewed symptoms not as problems to be fixed, but as signposts pointing to the need for change. I work on the basis that our minds and bodies have a natural drive towards healing.

I am a counsellor and counselling supervisor. I work with individuals and couples. Do you need some help with anger? Maybe you just wish you could stop feeling anxious? Perhaps you’ve been feeling really low, and have been feeling like this for a long time. Or wondering whether you’ll ever get over grief. Maybe you are seeking transformational change in your thinking. I have extensive experience in working with alcohol and substance misuse, sexual abuse and much more. I work positively to improving your well-bieng

People come into counselling for many different reasons, these might include stress at work or difficulties in relationships. Working with a counsellor who's focus is on you and helping you to work towards changing your life in a way that is positive for you, can offer you something that it is not possible to gain from other relationships what you may have.
