Dr Mahalia Hamilton
Psychologist, DCounsPsych, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
I specialise in trauma and complex trauma, while also supporting adults with anxiety, anger, emotion regulation difficulties, neurodivergence, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges.
Hello, I'm Dr. Mahalia Hamilton, a HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist. I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. Therapy offers an opportunity to pause, make sense of your experiences, and move towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is grounded in person-centred values while integrating evidence-based psychological therapies to meet your individual needs. I believe every person is unique, so I work collaboratively to understand your experiences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Sobia Siddique
Psychotherapist, MSc, MUKCP
I support individuals with trauma, abuse and anxiety, and work sensitively with people from South Asian backgrounds exploring identity, belonging and sense of self and offering a safe and validating space for reflection and growth.
Welcome to my profile. Making sense of yourself as a whole can feel daunting, especially when you are trying to do it alone. Exploring your sense of identity and building confidence is something we can work through together in therapy. I offer an open, empathic, and safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain a deeper understanding of yourself within your world, and feel supported in growing and developing your self-esteem.

I'm Matt, a UKCP psychotherapist and NCPS counsellor with experience in the voluntary sector and private practice since 2011. If you are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties, then I can be of help. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential service. As a gestalt therapist I focus on developing your awareness of the issues or what troubles you that you wish to change. By helping you to more clearly identify patterns of your behaviour, thoughts and emotions, I aim to help in developing enough support and insight to make the changes or choices that, on your own, may have seemed elusive or impossible up until now.

Life can be difficult at times and it can lead us feeling overwhelmed. You may not want to share your feelings or problems with friends or family, and this might be because you don’t want them to worry or you are unsure about whether they will understand what you are going through. It does not mean you have to go through your difficulties alone. Counselling is a journey of self-discovery and it can facilitate positive change. It can be a form of self-care to help to understand yourself better and to allow yourself to live the life that you want and achieve the things you thought you won’t be able to do.
