I also work with bereavement and loss, where anxiety can often feel heightened.
Hi, my name is Liz, and I am a counsellor based in Buxton. I see clients face-to-face in Buxton and also offer online sessions for those who prefer the flexibility of therapy at home. I support people in understanding anxiety, not by fighting against it, but by learning what it’s trying to protect. Helping to gain a deeper understanding of your triggers, so they feel less overwhelming, and how to respond in ways that feel calmer, steadier, and more in control.

I am a High Peak based Art Psychotherapist. I work with children, young people and adults. I also offer therapy to Art Psychotherapy trainees. I believe that we all have the capacity to thrive if we are given the right conditions to do so. Beginning therapy can be a daunting experience, and so my aim is to always ensure to put you at ease, and that whatever you bring to therapy is done so at your pace and in a way that feels right for you. Creativity is a wonderful way to explore your feelings and thoughts, and you don't even have to be good at art. Just a willingness to see where it can take you and to trust the process.

Hi, my name is Jeanette. Life can be challenging, difficult & stressful at times, affecting how we feel emotionally. We can become anxious, worried, stressed, depressed or just generally feel overwhelmed. In order to manage how we are feeling, we can develop unhelpful thinking & behaviours which can hinder our growth, leading to us becoming stuck in vicious cycles. By understanding & recognising our unhelpful thinking & behaviours we can start to look at ways to modify these to improve how we feel. Therapy can help you gain control over thoughts & behaviours; develop healthier coping strategies; build self-confidence & resilience.

Having worked in hospice, I also have experience with life-limiting illness and complex bereavement.
Sometimes the difficulties you have in the present are influenced by how things have been for you in the past. How you have coped with the tough experiences, the beliefs you have developed about yourself and the world, your habitual responses. You want to improve things for yourself but you can't see a way through. Maybe you have tried other ways of getting better, maybe with some success, but the underlying problems just turn up in different ways. You are here because you know that you are not out of options. Psychotherapy has helped many people like you. And with me, you are in a safe pair of hands. EMDR is an option for you too.

Hi, I'm Maria. Are you curious about why you feel or act the way you do? Are you open to exploring the deeper layers of your emotions and experiences with a desire to understand yourself more even if nothing feels 'wrong' on the surface? I can support you to reflect on your past, notice patterns in your relationships, and take time to understand yourself more fully. You don’t need to know anything about therapy—just be open, patient, and interested in creating meaningful, lasting change from the inside out.

Hello, & thank you for reading. I'm glad you're here. You may long for closeness but find relationships complicated, painful, or overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve learned to keep parts of yourself hidden, or you’ve felt “too much” or “not enough” for others. You might also notice how past experiences linger in the present, affecting how safe you feel with people, with your own body, or even with life itself. If you’re neurodivergent, you may carry the added weight of not feeling fully understood in the world, or of needing to navigate sensory and social landscapes that others take for granted.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed? Maybe it's pressure at work, a difficult relationship, or a growing sense that something needs to change. You may already know exactly what's wrong but haven't found a way through it yet. Many of the men I work with have spent a long time managing on their own before reaching out. Some arrive with a specific difficulty in mind. Others just want space to think honestly about what's going on, with someone outside their work, family, and friendships.

Trying to resolve the issues troubling you alone can feel overwhelming. Reaching out for help is a proactive first step in starting to feel better. I provide a welcoming, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk about what is troubling you. It is very natural to feel nervous about coming to counselling for the first time. I understand and never lose sight of this. I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory telephone consultation. Some new clients prefer to book their first appointment without a call. It about what feels best to you.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
