Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious? Are you feeling lost or find yourself questioning what gives you purpose, or meaning in your life? Do you feel stuck, as though something is holding you back, but you're not sure what it is? Or maybe you are looking for change, but are afraid of what might happen. No matter where you are in life, therapy can be a place of healing and self care. Therapy is a place to be true to yourself and feel heard. A place where you don't have to feel alone in what you are feeling or experiencing.

I am an experienced International Couple & Individual Psychosexual Therapist (PG Dip) (Tavistock trained), MBACP (Accred) & COSRT registered; BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I have a wide range of clinical experience from both the public and private sectors. I work across a range of private and public sector (NHS).​ ​My clients are from all over the world with varied multi-cultural backgrounds, ages, gender, sexuality, and brain configuration. The Psychosexual lens is raw, powerful, unique, no stone is left unturned. We look at your life; the biology, psychology, spirituality, physiology, past , present and future.

I have worked with individuals and couples bringing a varied range of issues from relationship breakdowns, anxiety, stress, depression, childhood emotional neglect, childhood abuse, confidence and self esteem issues, life transitions, bereavement, chronic ill health. I get deep satisfaction watching clients work through their issues and develop new coping strategies and tools. I love to see them leave at the end of the work smiling and content. Some even say that getting there is fun as well as satisfying. Let's get to work getting you what you want!

Do you feel worried that your use of substances is starting to get out of control and is causing problems in your life? Or are you worried that you will not be able to cope without them, even though you would like to cut back or stop?. Do you feel locked into thinking styles which are starting to dominate your life such as anxiety or depression and don't know what to do? Imagine if you could regain control of your life and situation so you felt happier, less anxious, and were no longer dependant or worried about you substance use, what would that feel like? Recovery is possible but sometimes we just need a bit of help to get there

If you've discovered something about yourself that you'd like help understanding, I can provide a nonjudgmental space for you to explore this. If you're feeling lost and want a place to find your way, your passions, or yourself, I can provide a patient and calm opportunity for you to try what works for you. If things in your life are making you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or sad, I can provide a space away from your stress to focus on you. If you feel constantly worried about the past or future and don't know how to relax or be in the present, I can help you discover why that might be, and help you find space for yourself..

Hello I’m Rachel and a very warm welcome. As you find yourself here, you may be feeling stuck in life at the moment and perhaps issues or difficulties may be causing you distress or to feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel anxious, depressed or have low self esteem? Often through no fault of our own we can get caught up in these difficult cycles. The good news is I can help you get "unstuck" and help you to achieve lasting change in your life. I will help you move towards your goals and lead a more fulfilled life. I am here to support you every step of the way, giving you the space and time to discover yourself.

I have been involved in counselling since 2004. In that time, I have helped a wide range of clients, with issues such as bereavement, serious illness, depression, anxiety, self-harm, addictions, suicidal feelings, anger, family problems, sexuality and relationship difficulties. Life has a habit of presenting us with challenges and sometimes we need insight, help and support to overcome them. You may be experiencing a specific difficulty or it might be something that's hard to put your finger on - either way, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and deal with what's going on in your life.

Hello. My name is Anna Shepherd. I have been a Psychotherapist for over 20 years. I offer Art Psychotherapy, Talking Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness. Seeking help can feel a bit daunting. I offer a confidential space in which you will be supported to explore whatever brings you to therapy. I will meet you with gentle compassion, curiosity, warmth and humour. Meaningful connection will be the cornerstone of our work and together we will find helpful ways to ease whatever distress has brought you here.

I've seen first hand how supportive Art Psychotherapy can be. Dealing with all that life can throw at us can leave us feeling helpless, anxious, low and stuck. I work with individuals from all walks of life and different stages, experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, chronic illness, grief and loss to support them in feeling better emotionally. Art Psychotherapy helps engage the brain and body a little differently through creativity, art and image making, in addition to talking. Together, we can create a healing therapeutic environment where stories can be shared, emotions processed, and holistic wellbeing fostered.

What is it that moves us to look into ourselves? Such moments maybe preceded by climacteric, pivotal moments in which our lives seem redirected; a crisis of health, an accident, betrayal, a diagnosis, abandonment, grief, an uneasy feeling, discord, or ‘breakdown’ We may need to reflect on issues which were too big to hold at the time from our childhood. Perhaps we need to revisit adulthood landmarks or are seeking a deeper knowing of who we are. It could be that it is your current living situation or the broader climatic, cultural, societal, and global events that prompt and move you to examine your life.

Are you anxious and finding life overwhelming, suddenly the simplest decisions are impossible - this may be situational, relational or historical; large or small I offer a space to speak freely secure in the knowledge our sessions are confidential. My theory is person centred although I offer Integrative therapy which is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client.

Is everything okay?....... This can be a difficult question to answer. Our default response is often "yes", but deep down, for a lot of us, that's simply not true. Often we struggle to verbalise it, can be exceptionally good at denying it even exists or spend copious amounts of emotional energy keeping it at bay. Perhaps you know why you don't feel okay and perhaps you don't. Either way, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential space to allow you to explore any issues you may be experiencing. "Above all things, to thine own self be true"- William Shakespeare.

Are you struggling with life at present? It may be from a stressful work environment, relationship difficulties or perhaps unresolved trauma from your past. Do you want to be free of the past, less anxious about the future so that you can enjoy your present? I offer counselling and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) to clients who want to find joy and peace in their lives. If you are experiencing stress or anxiety at present, if you are struggling with a past trauma then I can help. I believe that the troubles that impact our mental wellbeing can be relieved through the therapeutic relationship of counselling

Are you finding it all too much? Stressed out? Not sure which direction to take? Or maybe you are struggling with isolation or lack of confidence in social situations? Maybe you are dealing with being neuro-diverse (ADHD or autism) in a neuro-typical world? Perhaps you want to be more your authentic self or make a transition in your life? Are you trying to cope with a difficult situation such as grief, loss, illness, caring or a break up? In all these situations I can listen to you, support you and help you to find ways forward.
