Some of the problems we most commonly help people with include obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD), hoarding, panic, agoraphobia, health anxiety, specific phobias (e.g. fear of flying), emetophobia (fear of vomiting), PTSD/Trauma and social anxiety.
The psychological therapies we provide are recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) guidelines. You may know that NICE is the scientific body that advises the National Health Service (NHS) about treatment. This usually involves offering a specialist course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

You may be seeking counselling to make sense of thoughts or feelings, or look at relationships. Perhaps you're struggling with choices, feeling stuck or noticing an unhelpful pattern or past trauma? Above all, you may want something to change. I get how tough it can be to open up. With experience of working with people from a range of ethnic and class backgrounds, faiths, ages and sexualities I aim to build a relationship of trust. Welcoming and getting curious about all parts of you - such as a vulnerable, critical or rebellious part - can build connection to a more whole and vital sense of your Self, opening up more possibilities.

Welcome. During the 25 years I've been in practice I've come to think of my way of working with individuals and couples as creating a unique space that is facilitating for recovery or growth. I draw on a wide range of techniques and approaches to fulfil this way of working. Psychotherapy and counselling with me is a confidential and non-judgemental process. I won’t tell you what to do but we will talk about whatever you need to and we will work on ways of developing a useful route through your issues, however difficult. (My practice is neurodiverse informed and kink friendly). I am the founder of Attention Allies therapist for ADHD.

Hello, I'm Sarah, a person-centred, integrative counsellor. We all have times when we struggle with what life brings our way. This could be overwhelm and anxiety, low mood, family or relationship issues, or a traumatic experience or season that is affecting your ability to live life to the full. Sometimes we struggle to view ourselves in a positive way but don't know how to change. At times we can question what our place is in the world, and even what life is all about. Counselling can help.

Psychotherapy deals with current problems. You may come because of a particular relationship issue or you may not be sure exactly what the problem is but find yourself repeating painful or limiting patterns in life. It may only be through talking to someone that you gain an understanding of what you want to work on. Therapy can be a gradual unfolding process where you have the opportunity to understand how you have become the person you are. This may include talking about how the past has influenced you, exploring your relationships then and now and the way you respond to your life as it is.

I’m George, a University of Oxford trained Therapist. I am well versed in a variety of therapy and mindfulness/ meditation traditions, and integrate a blend of therapeutic approaches and techniques within my practice. That being said, I have specialist training in the three waves of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). The first wave of CBT focuses on improving our wellbeing by changing our behaviour. The second wave adds techniques to support us in changing our thoughts. The third wave includes additional techniques to support how we relate to our experience.

I work with both individuals and couples. As an individual, some sudden event may have thrown you into crisis and challenged your ability to cope. This might include, a difficulty in a relationship; a loss/bereavement of some kind; or a change that has resulted in stress/anxiety and a feeling of being destabilised. Alternatively you may be suffering from a more general, on-going struggle to see any direction or purpose. A feeling of being disconnected from yourself and others and of there being very little enjoyment in your life.

I work with a range of issues from trauma, self harm, PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD and grief.
Hi, I’m an experienced Psychodynamic therapist and I presently work with adults and students privately and within the education sector. I understand that life can be challenging and it's not always easy to talk about our issues. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and gain insight into your life. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person's present behaviour. It emphasises the importance of the individual's personal history and the role that past experiences play in current behaviour.

I am currently offering in person, online video and telephone counselling by appointment. If you are currently looking for a counsellor it may well be that you have reached a point of change. You can no longer put up with the current situation you feel you are in. You may be suffering anxious feelings or low mood, or be struggling with anger and frustration, or any number of other concerns. These are feelings that we all experience from time to time but they can be limiting and have an effect on our general happiness and satisfaction with life.

I'm trained to a specialist level in supporting people with common mental health difficulties including stress, depression, insomnia, anxiety problems (including generalised anxiety disorder, OCD, health, or social anxiety), PTSD or complex PTSD.
I specialise in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a transdiagnostic, neuropsychological process focused approach. Rather than focusing only on diagnostic labels, I help clients identify the underlying psychological patterns that are maintaining their difficulties. This allows us to take a more holistic, flexible approach in treatment.

Experiencing difficult emotions in face of life challenges or crisis are often considered as “problems” that make us feel vulnerable, powerless or shameful. Although these "problems" are often natural human experiences, we sometimes struggle with the critical inner voice and have little compassion towards self. Psychotherapy is neither a quick fix of your psychological wounds nor a direct path to happiness. It's a process where you can start connecting with yourself and make sense of your own narrative in a safe and respectful space. The process of relating to a genuine human being itself could be the start of your healing journey.

My core aim as a counsellor is to provide a warm and consistent space for you to feel heard and understood. We have many parts within us that need a listening ear, and open heart. When we find acceptance and compassion for ourselves, things can start to change in our lives. I offer kindness, non-judgement, and curiosity so that you can begin to feel resilient and self-loving. Each of us is born with inherent wisdom and we are our own best expert. But you may have lost trust along the way. I strive to offer you a nurturing, therapeutic relationship that encourages a sense of safety to trust.
