Hi, I'm Riley. I work with individuals, couples and groups, offering a space where we can become curious about the emotional, thinking and behavioural patterns that shape your life. Together, we'll gently notice what happens moment by moment, especially when protective or critical parts of you take over. Rather than meeting these parts with judgement, we'll approach them with curiosity and compassion, creating a relationship where shame begins to loosen its grip. From there, therapy becomes a place to step outside familiar patterns and develop a more balanced, accepting relationship with yourself.

Have you always felt different or had trouble fitting in? Perhaps you're thinking that you might have Autism/ASD, ADHD or Tics/Tourette’s, Dyslexia or a learning disability. Would you like an assessment for yourself or your child to confirm this? Or maybe you have been newly diagnosed or have traits of ASD, ADHD or Tourette’s and are looking for further information and support. I, and my small team of expert psychologists at Neurodiverseonline, offer diagnostic assessments for adults and children with Autism/ASD, ADHD, Tourette's/Tics, Dyslexia and cognitive assessments (IQ tests) / learning disability assessments.

Hi, I'm Rob, a qualified integrative counsellor, which means rather than adopting a "one-size-fits-all" approach, I draw from a range of therapeutic models—including person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and psychodynamic therapy—to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. This flexibility allows us to explore your concerns in a way that resonates with you, helping you gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and move forward with greater confidence.

Being qualified as person-centred integrative counsellor I work in a relational, intuitive way, giving you a safe, confidential space to be heard and understood.

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.

It doesn't matter when you bloom, it matters that you do. I see psychotherapy as a kind and safe space for you to be seen and heard. We all have a core goodness and ability to flourish in our lives. Sometimes we need a little help to find our way.

Do you replay your baby's birth over and over like a video you can't turn off? Do you find yourself constantly checking if your baby is still breathing? Do you feel numb, like you're going through the motions of parenthood but feel nothing? Do you avoid pregnant friends, baby showers, or conversations about birth altogether? Do you shudder at the thought of another pregnancy? I've always been passionate about working with trauma. My focus on birth trauma and baby loss deepened through my work within an NHS Maternal Mental Health Service, where I saw firsthand how many parents suffer in silence after a difficult birth or loss.

Life can be stressful and full of uncertainty, so as a Counselling Psychologist I will use a variety of theories from my years of training and beyond to treat you as a whole person who is more than just their struggles, insecurities and pain. Therapy can help you deeply explore your past or give you tools to cope better in the present. It can allow someone else to understand you so that eventually you can understand yourself. I am a relatable and down to earth person and my aim is to make you feel safe, listened to, valued and understood so that you can build self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Accredited, experienced, integrative and EMDR therapist with several years of working with a variety of issues including addiction, abuse, trauma, anxiety, and identity. You might want to focus on behaviour change, or exploration of the past and old stuck beliefs to try to make sense of what is happening in your life now. Sometimes, people just need a space to talk, and to be heard. EMDR is a powerful and well-evidenced way to work with past trauma, finally freeing ourselves from what is no longer helpful. This can be done alongside time spent reflecting on the past or on current troubling situations and behaviours.

I have experience supporting people with the following: Alzheimer’s – Anxiety – Bereavement – Low Self-Esteem – OCD – Panic Attacks – Stress – Suicidal Thoughts - Trauma.
Are you feeling so overwhelmed that you feel out of your depth? Or experiencing a sense of loss, unable to cope? Fear is our worst enemy, and we will try and find a way of taking back control. If you feel you are struggling there is a strength in reaching out for support. Counselling helps you to gain a better understanding of self through the therapeutic process, and I believe we are all unique and have the potential to change, therefore develop a belief in your ability to cope. You will begin to make sense of the past and begin to recognise your true self.

If you are struggling, it is with trauma, your relationships, grief, depression, addiction, or something else, I offer a private and confidential space to explore your problems and concerns at a pace of your choosing. I provide psychotherapy which looks at the causes of our current problems as well as at our patterns of thinking and relating to ourselves and others. These patterns often have their roots in our past and in the ways we have survived and navigated our lives to this point.
