There are many reasons why someone might seek the support of a psychotherapist: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, loneliness. Whether you need support with more acute feelings that are overwhelming, or simply need someone to talk to, psychotherapy could help. Sometimes we can feel very alone in the world; psychotherapy is an opportunity to engage in a relationship where you can be seen and heard, a safe space to explore what is troubling you. I offer an understanding and confidential space, where I place your needs centrally.

Hello, I’m Vivienne, I’m a qualified counsellor who works with the LGBTQIA+ community. As a queer woman with a mixed heritage background, I work in a way that looks at how the different identities you might hold can impact you. People have their own unique experiences of discrimination and oppression and that matters to me.

Psychotherapy is a rare invitation to truth - a place to explore your self and your story, make sense of why you feel the way you do and ask how you might meet life's challenges in a more authentic, meaningful and fulfilling way. My approach is integrative, creative and embodied. It considers who you are and what happened to you, as well as what your heart desires. As a relational therapist, I also put your experience with me in therapy at the heart of our work together.

There's always more to a problem than its headline, and that the foundations of meaningful change are in careful, critical understanding. I work with my clients to formulate their problems in all their complexity, and to develop focussed strategies for intervention. I often work with people struggling with low mood, anxiety, esteem issues, obsessive thoughts, relationship issues, problematic behaviours (such as problematic skin picking), traumatic experiences and unhelpful coping. I work responsively, realistically and pragmatically, according to my clients' priorities.

I work with adults, teens, and pre-teens who are feeling lost, stuck, or unmotivated as a result of their current habits and state of mind. Anxiety, depression, grief, and experiences of trauma, can all leave us feeling without the tools we need to carve a meaningful path forwards, and without the energy to turn to those around us for support. That's where therapy, and a therapist, can really help empower you and get you back on track. I work with people of all ages who don't feel themself, and want to better understand what they are experiencing, and how they can move through thoughts and feelings that feel too big to manage alone.

Hello and welcome. I have particular experience in helping clients who are struggling with a sense of what I call ‘stuckness’, in their life. Are you feeling trapped in a job that doesn’t inspire you to get up every morning? Are you feeling imprisoned in life’s routine and experiencing a sense of emptiness, but are unsure of how to fill that void? Are you quietly asking yourself ‘Who am I?’ You are not alone. I have worked with many individuals with troubles such as these. In a world that seems to be telling us how to look, how to act and even how to feel, it’s no wonder we can find ourselves feeling lost and confused. I can help.

Humanistically recognising the needs of an individual ,we see how trauma can be held at a very deep level. Working from the story of an individuals early negative & positive childhood experiences and using Integrative therapy in a number of ways to help the process of getting to one's core beliefs, helps to create a safe space for them to explore and release old patterns. This happens by building a trust with the client to allow their vulnerability to come through. Then, looking at the blocks or defences, via counselling and body Psychotherapy, a unique holistic approach to wellbeing, allows the journey back to health.
