Trauma Focused Counselling in Buxton
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.

I am passionate about trauma-informed care and utilise a whole-person approach. Trauma can often underpin common mental health difficulties, and I can work with you to process the source of your difficulties and/or focus on your current symptoms. You may wish to focus on your current experiences of depression, anxiety, etc., or wish to address the underlying difficulties that have led to these. I also have a keen interest in complex trauma, dissociation, childhood emotional neglect, medically unexplained symptoms, functional neurological disorder, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and other physical difficulties.

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.

Hello! I’m Leanne, a Psychodynamically trained counsellor based in the High Peak.
I believe true healing begins when we allow ourselves to verbalise and truly feel our emotions. So much of modern society works to keep us distracted and out of touch with ourselves and those around us. My approach is designed to help you connect with the overlooked parts of yourself - past and present, without judgment and at your own pace. With warmth and empathy, I have created a space for you to show up, just as you are.

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.
