Hello. My name is Stephanie, and I'm a UKCP registered psychotherapist. I am interested in people. In each person’s unique complexity. In you. If you are reading this then you may already have taken the first step on your therapeutic journey; the decision to explore, and to seek the right person to share this work with you. Whether you come to me for longer term psychotherapy, shorter term work, or for CBT/REBT, my initial aim will always be the same; to create a warm, secure, boundaried space in which we can build our therapeutic relationship. A space where you feel able to share what is on your mind.

Feeling stuck despite trying everything? Many of my clients say: "I understand what's wrong, but I still feel overwhelmed and exhausted." If anxiety or low mood feels constant, patterns keep repeating, or you're carrying past experiences you can't shake - you're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learnt to do.I specialise in evidence-based CBT enhanced with nervous system awareness and neuroscience education. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within 3 sessions - not because we just talk, but because we work with your body's responses, not against them.

Counselling is a safe space where you can talk about problems and process difficult emotions without shame or judgement. We often feel that we should be able to deal with our problems without others help. But it is often through sharing and opening up to others, that we can find the way to heal ourselves. Trauma, mental or emotional problems, disconnect us from ourselves and others. Sharing our pain and our story (in a relationship where it is held safely) can allow us to value, respect and have compassion for all parts of ourselves. This re-integration unblocks our creative/healing potential and our sense of purpose and meaning.

Anxiety, Neurodiversity, Executive/High achievers, Teen, OCD are a few of my interests.
My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this. I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

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.

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.
