You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating in your life. Perhaps you’re dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or a loss that’s hard to process. My role is to offer a calm, private space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement, understand yourself more deeply, and find new ways forward. Together we can work towards clarity, self-acceptance, and lasting change that feels authentic to you.

A warm hello to you, as you search for support. The search itself can be stressful, on top of whatever you're already struggling with. When life is difficult, some things can be too hard or futile to carry alone. 20 years of experience has consistently proven to me (and my clients) that talking with someone trained to really listen can make a profound difference. I’ve been accompanying people for a long time. I've heard, understood, supported and facilitated a lot. It's an honour to be someone you can lean on, who you can risk being honest with. I'm there as you find your way to a steadier, clearer, more peaceful sense of yourself.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

I focus on chronic mental health including addiction, trauma and complex trauma.
As I draw from a wide range of training and experience, I tailor my approach to the needs of each individual client. This doesn’t make me perfect, or fallible, but it does mean I have the flexibility to work across different presenting issues with a range of techniques or approaches.

Hi - I’m Lois and I’m an integrative therapist (MBACP). I also work as a creative alongside my therapy work. Perhaps you're new to therapy and are unsure how or where to start. Like many of my clients, you might be feeling overwhelmed or stuck in patterns of overthinking, struggling with relationships or with self-worth. Maybe you feel as though you experience the world differently to others. I offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore any difficulties you may be experiencing, helping you to feel heard, supported and more able to move towards the life you want - and deserve - to be living.

With 25 years of experience in counselling & psychotherapy I aim to help couples & individuals understand emotions and how to get more from their relationships. Some want to renew a long gone passion and others are just fighting to stay together - the answer is often found by looking at new ways to communicate with each other rather than fixing a disagreement. There will be reasons for your behaviour that make sense and I will help you to uncover these throughout our sessions together. You may have an ‘arguing style’ and by looking more deeply, at your inner hurt and anger, we will be able to discover what is really going on.

Do you find yourself feeling disconnected in relationships, perhaps longing for closeness but somehow ending up feeling misunderstood, alone or caught in the same painful patterns again and again? Or maybe you've always been the one who looks after everyone else, appearing capable and resilient on the outside, yet privately feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure who you really are beneath the roles you've learned to play. Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying such feelings, and I help them find real change in thier lives.

A crisis is often a call to personal growth and development, to find a new path through life. The drive of the unconscious part of our nature is towards wholeness. In analysis we listen to the compensatory, complementary and sometimes prospective communication from the unconscious....hearing the voices of the soul balancing the relationship of conscious and unconscious. Individuation is the process of coming into psychic balance. In analysis you can learn to listen and understand your inner voice, gain a deeper sense of self, meaning and purpose in life, to become the person you are meant to be.

I have extensive experience of working with clients who idenitfy as LGBTQIA+ as well as those from other marginalised groups, including those affected by addictions and trauma.
Every individual has their own unique journey towards self-acceptance. In our work together, I will help you gain deeper insight into the challenges you are facing and consider ways to bring about meaningful change. We will mutually agree on a pace that feels right for you to start looking more deeply into what is causing you to suffer. Together, we'll explore ways to challenge negative or harmful patterns and identify healthier alternatives. My approach is primarily person-centered, though I may also draw from other therapeutic styles using a holisitic/psychospiritual lens to support the shift towards healing the whole self.
