Hello I am Suz welcome to my profile. I am an experienced counsellor , psychotherapist and supervisor. I work from Northfield. I offer individual face to face counselling on a long or short term basis. I work in a person centred way working along side my clients. I offer a warm , safe , non judgmental therapeutic relationship and environment. Counselling offers a space to reflect on you and make some sense of your emotions. It will help you to discover your own resources and become more self aware. I work at my clients pace and offer support throughout the counselling process.

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist based in Manchester and offering online counselling to the UK. My approach is warm and friendly and I work with care and compassion. I offer a safe space, free from judgement, where you can be yourself and explore any issues that may be causing you confusion, discomfort or distress. You will decide what we talk about and we will always work at a pace that is comfortable for you. It is important, to me, that you feel at ease working with me, so I offer a free first session (50 minutes), so you can see how I work and decide whether you wish to continue.

I am part of the LGBT + community and identify as a cis gay man. As a consequence I have seen how life can throw many diverse LGBTQ -related challenges at us: loss, crisis, change - that cause us to question our sense of self. Yet I believe within these challenging times we have the ability to grow and develop - even flourish - through the untangling of our internal and external worlds: who we are, our authentic selves, others’ around us as well as the world in which we live.

Facing challenges in your sex life or relationship? Finding life difficult and feeling it could be better? Wanting to explore your identity? Hoping to heal from trauma? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then I may be able to help. I am a fully qualified psychosexual and relationships therapist and counsellor offering support to individuals, couples and other relationships. I approach therapy from a number of different therapeutic approaches, working with you directly to understand your goals and tailoring the therapy to your specific needs.

I work with adults on various issues such as anxiety, depression, life cycle and other transitions, relationships, spirituality and racial issues, and more. Yet perhaps what you are feeling or struggling with does not have a clear title or category. Perhaps a sense that something is a little "off", or could be better, is what is urging you to seek someone to speak with.

Life can involve upsetting, stressful, or traumatic events that can negatively impact how we think, feel, and behave. You may have anxiety and depression, struggle with low self esteem or have suicidal/intrusive thoughts. You may have problems controlling anger or impulsiveness. Maybe your thoughts or feelings are impacting relationships around you, or vice versa.Whatever the circumstance, I can help you understand yourself and others in a safe and non-judgmental space, for new or long term troubles. I also offer coping techniques to reduce intensity/frequency of negative thoughts, images, and physical sensations (panic attacks etc)

My Primary mission is to provide services that address the psychological and mental health needs of children, adults and families from both mainstream groups and multicultural communities, who have been historically under-represented in gaining access to mental health or excluded altogether to services because of their race, gender, class, sexual orientation or disability. Dr Majors is a former Clinical Fellow and Post Doctorate at Harvard Medical School. He is also an honorary professor, counselling psychologist and a Fellow for the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a registered counselling psychologist HCPC.

Psychologist with a special interest in providing therapeutic services to the Caribbean community at home and in the diaspora. My areas of interest include but are not limited to: generational trauma, child-rearing practices, mental health stigma, the use of recreational drugs, identity & self, colourism, racism, racist micro-aggressions & negative stereotyping, black male mental health, trauma, the family dynamic, dating & marriage, sex & sexuality, sex issues, sexual health, shame, religion & culture. I identify as biracial and I am LGBTQIA friendly.

It's not easy accessing therapy and it's natural to feel worried about being understood or having to explain aspects of your identity and culture to a stranger. I offer a space where you don't need to do that, so we can get to work on the things you need help with. I have a gentle, trauma-informed approach where I put your safety first and where you can progress at your own pace. Sessions are always collaborative, which means that your input and feedback are a key part of the process as you're the expert in your own life and what you need to feel better.

My name is Linda Mafuta and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have experience of working in the mental health services for 15 years and I have been working for the NHS over the last 5 years as a Counsellor. I work with Individual adults as well as Couples. Sometimes we may feel alone, overwhelmed or just struggle to discuss what is going in our lives with our family, friends or loved ones. Whether you come to therapy as an individual or a couple.

Do you feel like you are holding yourself back, putting yourself down and not living the life you really want? Would you appreciate discovering how to be your “real self” without putting on an act and learning to like and respect yourself? I work with people who have identified that they have feelings of low self-esteem or low confidence and want to make changes so that they can live their lives in the fullest way possible.

My way of working is somewhat dependent on you and your wants from a therapy space. I am trained to work with CBT, person-centred and attachment based therapy. I have done additional training in: Somatic Abolitionism, Emotional Regulation Skills and CBT adapted to work with those that self-define as autistic. I have worked with many clients and believe therapy works best by meeting the client where they are and towards what they identify they need. I work openly with race and other forms of systemic oppression in therapy and support clients from minoritised identities to explore this in therapy.

Talking about your difficulties may feel overwhelming. However, I provide a safe space and a caring relationship, offering you a place to be listened to and to help you to see things differently. You may be struggling with anxiety or low mood; wondering how to manage different transitions in life, or perhaps family relationships are strained? Using an integrative approach, I work with a variety of aspects, utilising techniques to best suit the individual. I’m a registered member of BACP, currently offering online sessions. I’m also an LGBTQI+ ally.

Do you find it difficult to talk to those closest to you about your issues and concerns? Perhaps you don’t want to burden them or feel worried that they might judge or not understand what you are going through? I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to understand more about yourself and your relationships with others. As an integrative counsellor, I work with a variety of therapeutic approaches and methods, and combine them to suit the needs of each individual client.

Are you feeling confused, stuck, in low spirits, struggling with choices? Perhaps you’re finding it difficult to manage your feelings or feel you could be living more fully. We all face challenging times in our lives when it can be hard to find our way. I offer professional, confidential counselling with warmth, understanding, sensitivity and respect for people of diverse identities and backgrounds. I aim to work with you in a safe, supportive way, without judgement, to build a trusting relationship, and explore the difficulties you face.

No matter our age, life seems to offer us challenges, again and again. Have you ever wondered how to deal with its uncertainty and confusion, with things not turning out as we had hoped, with the loss of our sense of who we are and where we are going? If so, you are not alone! I believe it is a part of the human experience that at different times in our lives, we all face loss, bereavement, feeling stuck, and/or a crisis of meaning and purpose.​ This can also come in the form of a mental health 'crisis' - such as anxiety, depression and self-harm - or might come in the form of a spiritual crisis, or sense of hopelessness.

My name is Kate Alliss and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor based in Stourbridge, West Midlands. I will offer you a safe space to talk confidentially about your difficulties without fear of being judged, with empathy and with understanding. When we experience difficult times in our lives, we often struggle to understand our emotions and often find it hard to cope with our day to day lives. By working with you I will try to help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, responses and reactions to overcome the obstacles in your life that prevent you from feeling happy and fulfilled.
