We are passionate about adults receiving the right diagnosis so if you have a diagnosis that doesn’t fit you, please get in touch with us.

Hey there, and salam. If you’re feeling deeply alone or sad, or if you’ve suffered a loss that you’re not sure how to process, therapy could help you to heal. I strongly believe that our circumstances do not define us. I believe that Muslims should have access to high quality therapy; safe spaces where we can explore the rich, multi-faceted dialogues we have with ourselves, and ultimately heal. In therapy we work to process the traumas life presents to us, but more importantly, find the core of who we are.

My clients appreciate my holistic approach to mental health. Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them. I offer therapy to everyone because we all want to be seen, heard and understood and that is often at the very heart of Healing.

Hi, I'm Martyn and I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist fully accredited through the BABCP working with people struggling to manage emotional and mental health difficulties. I've been working in Mental Health for 13 years, 10 of which have been spent in the NHS treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, social anxiety, PTSD, health anxiety and OCD.

Warmth, empathy, non-judgemental acceptance, scientific rigour and humour are at the heart of my approach to therapy. I follow core CBT traditions which put the client and therapist on an equal footing in a collaborative partnership, with the client as the authoritative expert in themselves. I aim to debunk and demystify, strip out jargon, and explain transparently how I work. CBT aims to give clients a therapeutic fishing rod, not just a fish, so that clients are helped to become CBT experts, their own therapists for the future. Therapy can be challenging, but more often it should be healing, uplifting, enriching and fun.

Anxiety, depression, stress, conflict. We all hear these words but when they are your story it's much more than words, it's your life. If you invest in yourself you can learn to stop being controlled, feel you're making your own decisions and improve your relationship, career or state of mind. My clients show courage in reflecting on their lives and I've yet to work with any individual or couple who have regretted taking this step. Now we're in this extreme new way of living we may need to address issues we've previously avoided. This could be that opportunity.

I believe that not a single person will live a lifetime without feeling stressed, anxious or low at some point in their life. Life can throw many challenges and during these times it can difficult to see a way out or that things will get better. Sometimes we experience these difficulties a number of times, or for a long period of time. However your difficulties present right now, it is important to know that support is available and that change can happen. You can use the therapy to develop your sense of self again, look towards the future and deal with life's stressors (relationships, work, friendships, health, career) better.

Hi, I'm trained in Pluralistic counselling, Pluralistic Counselling recognises the value of other therapeutic approaches to help you make sense of the challenges you are facing, come have a quick chat and see if I'm a fit for you. It engages you, the client, in a shared decision-making process about the approaches that you would like to try, combining methods from different approaches into a coherent whole. This means that you are at the helm of your own therapeutic journey, both in the decision making process and the ways that we work together. Supported by being Polyvagal informed we can build a balance path for you to take.

Do you wonder where your old-self has gone? What happened to bring you to where you are today? As a psychotherapeutic counsellor my focus is on a person as a whole being; their thoughts, emotions and physical feelings. I offer therapy with the aim of understanding ourselves as human beings and subsequent resolution of our difficulties. Part of being human is to experience challenges in life, sometimes they become overwhelming and this is where counselling, carried out in a safe, non-judgemental and empathic environment can make a lasting and positive difference to a person's life. I specialise in trauma and all forms of abuse.

You may find the decision to come to counselling a difficult one to make, so I offer a phone call to begin with, to find out what you expect or would like to achieve through counselling as well as to reassure you, before we meet in person. Taking that first step may be daunting, so I offer a neutral, relaxed and safe space for therapy within the Aylesbury area. Having worked with Bucks Mind Charity, I have gained experience in working with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and low self-esteem, working with clients of all ages.

Hello my name is Aamirah. Maybe you struggle with family /work or social relationships giving you anxiety and stress. Life may feel overwhelming and you need to make sense of what you are feeling and why. Your emotions and needs do matter. I have worked with both adults and young people suffering with trauma. Emotional pain is hard to cope with by yourself especially when it grows and gets in the way of your happiness. There are always reasons for your feelings . Working compassionately with no judgement in a safe way I will enable you to find the clarity and direction you deserve empowering you to make your own decisions.

Trauma can become locked inside both our mind and body. Past traumatic events can be triggered by many different situations and people that you may encounter. These experiences, if not processed properly in our brains can make living day to day unpleasant, with negative feelings about ourselves, difficulties with anxiety, unexplained fears, avoidance, dissociation and many more distressing experiences. EMDR works to help the brain naturally process the trauma so that it can be left in the past. Please see my website for more details- www.Lucy ginger.co.uk

"Sometimes you don't realise the weight of something you've been carrying until you feel the weight of its release." Anon. At times, we all need to talk but may struggle to find the right person to turn to. Those closest to us may not always be able to offer what we need. This is where therapy may be helpful. Someone to listen to you without passing judgement or giving advice; someone who believes you know best what you need and who can provide you with a safe, confidential place to explore those needs.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
