Counsellor, MBACP
Life can feel hard - even overwhelming at times - but it doesn't have to stay that way. Often, people find talking to someone who understands can help to shift difficult feelings and allow them to fully engage with life once more. Perhaps you feel stuck? Anxious, angry, depressed, or in emotional pain? Maybe you notice your relationships are unsatisfactory, they always follow the same pattern? Or maybe life, with all its demands, is just grinding you down? Spending some time exploring these issues with a trained counsellor can offer insight, clarity and relief.

Psychotherapist, MUKCP
I help clients navigate challenges that feel too difficult to face alone — including anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, trauma-related flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, a sense of panic, and difficulties connecting with others. I also work with couples, currently training as a couples therapist. I am an experienced practitioner and regularly update my clinical skills through continuing professional development, ensuring my work remains informed by current research and developments in psychotherapy. I’m open, personable, and able to empathise with my clients, and to take them deeply into a meaningful healing journey.

Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

Charlotte Johannes
Psychotherapist, BACP
My ideal clients are people who feel marginalised in multitudes of ways. Those who are struggling within our capitalist societal pressures, those who have experiences of racist trauma, intergenerational trauma, those who have experienced homophobia, transphobia and mysogny. Clients who have attachment issues and dysfunctional family dynamics and experiences of abuse. My approach is psychodynamic, with a strong focus on early experiences, unconscious dynamics, and intergenerational influence. Alongside this, I offer a creative, intuitive way of working — using writing, imagery, metaphor, and visual tools where words may not be enough

I believe therapy is a place where we can explore your experiences, patterns, and the ways you relate to others and to yourself. We are often shaped by relationships and the cultural worlds we move through, both past and present. We can gently consider these influences at a pace that feels right for you. I will offer you a space rooted in curiosity, compassion, and respect, where you won’t be judged, fixed, or analysed. Through experiencing a relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and care, new possibilities can emerge.

I am an experienced and accredited counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (B.A.C.P). My approach is gentle and considered. I offer a confidential space where anything may be said and what needs to be shared can be, for there is enormous power in expressing what has been shut down. The counselling relationship is central to my work. Each client is unique and what happens in each session is co-created between us.

Duncan Long
Psychotherapist, MUKCP
Hi, I'm Duncan, a UKCP accredited psychotherapist. Life can get heavy sometimes. Old patterns, big feelings, difficult relationships. It can all build up, often quietly, until it's too much to manage alone. I help people understand what might really be happening underneath the surface, and find a steadier way forward. No judgement, no jargon, just space to figure things out at your own pace.

I may be the right therapist for you if you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t feel helpful. Perhaps it left you feeling discouraged, or as though you were failing, or the approaches or techniques you were offered didn’t feel like the right fit. I offer a space where you can genuinely be you. I work with clients who are struggling with their mental health, life circumstances, or who simply need someone to talk to. My clients tend to find that being understood and accepted in this way can be a transformative experience, and can help them find new ways of thinking and being.

Do you feel stuck, disconnected from yourself, or as though something important is missing in your life — even if, on the surface, things seem “fine”? You might be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of being lost, unsure who you really are or what you want in life. I specialise in working with people who want more than just coping strategies — people who are interested in understanding themselves more deeply, making sense of their inner world, and finding greater meaning, authenticity and direction in their lives.

Understanding ourselves, the decisions and choices we make and our relationships with others can sometimes be baffling. You may find yourself acting or behaving in ways that you struggle to align with your personal principles, wishes or desires. At times, your experience may suggest that your way of being doesn't blend with the world around you and you might find yourself meeting resistance from people or institutions. Therapy gives us the chance to explore these challenges together. We can look at your relationships with others and the meaning you make of them, helping to develop your insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

I'm an experienced integrative therapist and work flexibly and dynamically with adults, couples, families and trainee counsellors. Early relationships and life events may have shaken your ability to fully value yourself or others. You might be bereaved, struggling with a relationship, experiencing depression or anxiety. I'm objective and compassionate, offering support to connect with frightening or buried feelings. Letting go of strategies that no longer work for you, without pressure or expectation, can help you to find your own truth and a sense of who you really are.

The decision to try therapy can seem very daunting, but you have already taken the first step if you are here in this directory. Dealing with difficult issues, loss, bereavement, trauma, divorce/separation, identity , etc can feel utterly overwhelming. Initially, the prospect of sharing such experience may feel like a step too far. My own and clients’ experiences have shown me time & again that it is through the process of talking therapy that in sharing the burden the healing can begin. I have a passionate belief in the power of the wounded, with support, to find some reconciliation, with themselves, their history & in relationship
