Counselling in Cambridge
You spend most of your time in your head, analysing, assessing, overthinking. Your emotions can get the better of you. Your breathing can be tight, parts of your body are permanently contracted. You feel like you are always in fight or flight. You may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious.
Whether as a result of one time or repetitive trauma your mental, emotional and physical health has been affected. It can be hard to express emotions or contain emotions or both.
You would like to feel better and have the confidence to be yourself and more connected to those around you.

Underpinning psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a vast body of work that began with Freud, but the theory doesn't have an overt presence in the room. Psychotherapy in practice is more a process of discovery for both therapist and client. It can be challenging, exciting, frightening – even funny – as we both try to better understand the circumstances and patterns that have brought you to therapy.
I offer an initial session for £40, which of course holds no obligation to continue.

Perhaps you’re finding it hard to feel at ease in your body, your sexuality, or your relationships—feeling weighed down by anxiety, shame, or confusion about who you are or what you want. I work with both adults and young people, often those facing complex challenges that may be rooted in painful or traumatic experiences. Some people come after having had CBT or other time-limited therapies before and feeling frustrated it hasn’t brought the change they hoped for. Others already understand a lot about their struggles but still feel stuck with painful symptoms.

There are times when we are overwhelmed by the challenges we face. This might be due to current situations and/or linked to past experiences and/or trauma. It might then lead to getting stuck in this place, finding it difficult to connect to oneself and others and live ones life in a meaningful way. In these situations, it can sometimes be helpful to explore options and ideas with someone outside the situation. One way of getting support along the journey is to engage in psychological therapy. My aim is to provide a safe space, to explore, grow and move in the direction that accords with your values.

Hello, my name is Han and I use she/they pronouns. I welcome anyone to my therapy room who wants a safe space to talk things through. I have supported people to explore their identities, navigate coming out, and to get to know who they are. I have worked with people who are already out and those who have yet to find the language to name their experience. You may be someone who already knows who you are but are experiencing some other difficulties in your life. If this is you, it can be helpful to have a therapist who already accepts your identity so that you can you can explore these other topics without having to explain it.

Hi, I am Jo and welcome to my profile. I am a qualified and Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the BACP Integrative approach, believing 'one size does NOT fit all'. This approach gives me a variety of skills and ideas based on theory from different schools of thought, therefore allowing me to reach and help more people. I am also an experienced coach, particularly around relationships. Whilst there are definite differences between Counselling/Psychotherapy and Coaching, and there are professional ethics and boundaries I abide, I also believe that the two have similarities in enabling and empowering people to make change.

It isn’t easy being the cycle breaker. Have you ever heard that you are ‘too sensitive’ or felt that your feelings are ‘too much’? Have you ever felt like you are the only one willing to acknowledge what makes everyone else put their heads in the sand? In your family, there may have been abuse, a lack of acceptance for who you are, or even just no space for talking about emotions. There may be historic traumas no one will talk about or patterns that go unacknowledged, and you are left holding the ball on everyone’s behalf. You may experience feelings of perfectionism, disconnection, or guilt about resting or caring for yourself.

I work with those experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, and eating difficulties. You may appear to cope well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, low, anxious, or never “good enough” on the inside. These feelings often develop as understandable responses to difficult early or traumatic experiences, where staying strong or hiding emotion once helped you feel safer. In therapy, we’ll work together to reduce your current distress, process and make sense of past trauma, and uncover the emotions and beliefs that keep old patterns going.
