Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counselling in Bishop's Stortford
You’ve felt it, the tight knot in your chest, the looping thoughts, trauma whispering “danger” when you’re safe. Depression’s heavy fog stealing your mornings.Nights when your body refuses to rest because your nervous system is locked in alert. You’ve tried the pills.They mute the pain but don’t fix the wiring and you already sense they’re quietly costing you years of life.
What if it could all change naturally and permanently? Imagine your nervous system calming and growing stronger.Old subconscious patterns dissolving.Your reflexes rewired for joy instead of fear, not to flinch at shadows, but to reach for presence & life itself.

If you’re feeling anxious, having self esteem issues or suffering with feelings of depression, I can help. I work with people who are finding it harder to switch off, feel present in their relationships, or shake the sense that something’s missing.
Maybe you’ve hit a wall with stress, burnout or low mood. Maybe things aren’t great at home and you’re not sure how to fix it. Or maybe you’ve just had that moment where you realise the version of success you were sold isn’t making you feel the way you thought it would.
It’s a space where you can speak freely, without second-guessing yourself or needing to put on a front.

I am a Humanistic counsellor with a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) from the University of Oxford. My work is shaped by experience in counselling and trauma-informed settings, supporting adults through periods of emotional distress, transition, and change.
I am interested in how personal narratives are formed — and how they can become rigid, self-limiting, or shaped by earlier experiences. Alongside relational and reflective work, I draw on CBT-informed interventions where these can help loosen unhelpful patterns and support greater emotional flexibility.
I work collaboratively, with attention to pace,

You've built a life for yourself, but something isn't quite adding up — and you're not sure whether it's your relationship, the past you haven't dealt with, anxiety around the future, or something you can't quite name.
You're high-functioning. You show up. But underneath, something is stuck — and you're tired of getting through it rather than actually changing it.
Maybe it's the patterns that keep repeating. The relationship hitting the same wall. The anxiety just beneath the surface. Whatever it is, if you're ready to stop managing and start changing, then I am the therapist for you.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
