My name is Tiffany and I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor working face to face in Chippenham, Wiltshire and online. There isn't always a specific issue that will lead you to make the decision to seek counselling. Maybe you are exhausted but can't get to sleep because you can't stop thoughts racing around your head? Maybe you crave connection but find yourself cancelling plans because it feels like too much to be around people? Maybe you feel unable to trust yourself to make decisions because you are unsure of who you really are? Or maybe something just doesn't feel quite right?

You might look like you’re coping—but inside, it feels different. You may overthink conversations, feel anxious without knowing why, or find yourself people-pleasing and struggling to say no. Sometimes something small shifts—and suddenly your body is flooded with urgency or emotion that feels hard to control. You might react more strongly than you’d like in relationships, then question yourself afterwards. This may connect to earlier experiences or trauma that still affects you now. And underneath it all, there may be a quieter, persistent question: Am I really good enough?

Are you facing challenges in your life that feel overwhelming? Would you like to change how things are, or gain a better understanding of what is going on for you? Perhaps what you are experiencing is due to a relationship, something to do with your job or studies, a bereavement or other loss, or something less definable - perhaps just a sense that something is not right for you. Maybe it is connected to neuro-diversity, low self esteem, depression or anxiety. Whatever your difficulty is, and no matter how big or small it seems to be, by looking for therapy, you are taking a positive step in your life.

Hi. Sometimes we can find ourselves in troubling and distressing times, not knowing how to find our way out. It can be much easier and achievable when shared with someone who can support and guide you through it. It can feel very lonely and isolating, often a place you never expected to find yourself in and living through. Finding a way out and some peace can feel like an impossible task. Being able to talk to someone in a non-judgemental environment that gets and understands you can be a massive relief. To know that you have the support of an experienced qualified counsellor is a great support with working through your concerns.

As a psychologist, I have been trained in a range of therapies and work integrating techniques from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and systemic therapy to co-create a bespoke therapy that meets your unique needs. For some, this might mean exploring how past experiences continue to shape present feelings and behaviours, while for others it could involve breaking cycles of unhelpful thinking, managing difficult emotions, or finding new ways to strengthen relationships. My aim is to create a way of working that is tailored to you and helps you move towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of ease in everyday life.

Are you fed up of feeling fed up? Stuck in cycles you don’t fully understand but can’t seem to change? Often, that’s a powerful starting point for meaningful change. Together, we can gently explore the roots of these patterns, making sense of how they began and how they continue, so you can respond with greater awareness and choice. I offer a steady, down-to-earth space where you can say what’s really going on. I’ll listen and I’ll hopefully help you look at things from a different angle so change becomes possible.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
