Hi, I’m Jonathan. I can help with a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, feelings of shame, and low self-esteem. I provide support if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your purpose in life. Whether you’re navigating relationship difficulties, exploring issues of identity and sexuality, or dealing with aspects of neurodiversity—such as ADHD or autism—I bring a compassionate and individualised approach. As a foster carer I am also well placed to support couples/individuals with the emotional impact of their fostering/adoption journey.

I bring kindness and curiosity to our work together, creating a supportive and collaborative space where we can begin to make meaning of your experience. As we reflect on your past and present, your relational patterns, and your ways of being in the world, space can be created to process your thoughts and emotions and to explore new perspectives. By encouraging an interest in your feelings in the present moment and the truth of your immediate experience, I nurture self-acceptance and self-compassion. Therapy can help you to process your difficulties and feel more connected, allowing for a greater sense of freedom in everyday life.

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.

Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, but tell others you are fine? Perhaps you are not sure what is wrong, you just want things to be different. Please know that you, your difficulties and your feelings are important and valid. It is a strength to ask for help and I offer a reassuring, calm and accepting space where you can be you. You don't have to do this alone. I bring life experience and care about what you are going through; whether relationship/family issues, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, illness or coping with changes in your life. Being properly heard and understood can be transformative.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor ,CBT psychotherapist working towards accreditation and a EFT couples therapist . I work mainly in the humanistic approach, and I also use elements from other approaches such as CBT (cognitive-behavioural therapy) or psychodynamic therapy, which allows me to choose optimal therapeutic strategies for each client individually. The values ​​on which the humanistic approach is based, such as empathy, respect, authenticity and perception of values ​​in every human being, are very close to me. I firmly believe that being truly understood, heard and accepted the way you are can change our lives.

Psychotherapeutic work is relational in nature and so it requires a genuine personal engagement. The challenge is having conversations that break us out of ourselves, our stories, dramas and fear. Psychotherapy and counselling are about seeing a new way of relating to ourselves and others, to life and to the world.

My main areas of experience are in addiction, Trauma, destructive relationships, anxiety, low self esteem and lack of meaning. These are all behaviours that uncover deeper issues of what is going on. I use existential therapy and deep brain reorienting (DBR, a specialist trauma therapy) to work with you to do move away from the things that are causing you pain.

I have a particular interest in working with children and young people experiencing mild to moderate anxiety or low mood. This might be making school life challenging, or it might be affecting life at home or within friendships. I use approaches from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which has a strong evidence base for treating anxiety in children and adolescents. Depending on the child's age I would either work directly with the child, or with the parents/carers.

Welcome, I'm Rose. You may have arrived here as you are feeling unsure of yourself, doubting your abilities, or quietly believing you’re "not enough". This may be a recent or longstanding sensation and feels like carrying an invisible weight. Anxiety, low self-esteem & confidence or navigating life transitions, can affect your relationship with yourself, others, your belief system, work, studying, public performances or how you go about your day. You want to feel more confident, reconnect with your true self, express yourself freely (without fear of judgement) and move through life with clarity, self-belief and ease.

Hello, my name is Han and I use they/them 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.

I work psychoanalytically which involves paying particular attention to the words spoken and can reveal the unconscious processes that drive us. Each individual has their own unique response to their own upbringing and life’s circumstances. Life may seem overwhelming and out of control following a recent event or trauma. Talking to someone and being fully listened to, without being judged, can be the start of a process of coming to terms with difficult and traumatic experiences.

I am interested in the problem of how we might find ways of being with one another or relating, as well as how we might go about living and loving in a world that too often feels confusing, unpredictable and painful. My approach is informed by literature, Buddhist philosophy, the natural world and psychoanalytic theory. I am a member of the UKCP, the Philadelphia Association and the East Anglian Psychotherapy Network and am also a trustee of the Cambridge Psychotherapy Assistance Trust, which offers grants to people who may not be in a position to afford the full cost of psychotherapy.
