I work with children, young people and parents seeking support with anxiety, emotional difficulties, or challenges related to ADHD and autism. Families often come to therapy when worries, school anxiety, emotional outbursts or low confidence begin to impact daily life. Using evidence-based CBT, I work collaboratively with children and parents to understand the underlying difficulties and develop practical strategies to improve emotional wellbeing, build confidence and manage challenges more effectively. My approach is supportive, tailored to each child’s needs, and aims to help families feel more confident and empowered.

Hi there, my name's Anthony, sometimes life hits hard, and reaching out for support can feel daunting. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, going through a crippling and isolating bereavement, or having difficulties in your relationships. I can offer a deeply empathetic and non-judgemental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I specialise in bereavement, attachment and anxiety based issues; working through these means feeling less overwhelmed, having more understanding over relationship patterns, developing self trust, and feeling more grounded and safe.

My name is Rachel and I am a qualified integrative therapist working one to one with adults, with a particular interest in relationship difficulties, including romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships and challenges at work. I also work with bereavement and those struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood and difficult life changes. Often, the difficulties we experience aren’t just about what’s happening now, but about patterns we’ve learned over time: how we communicate, how we respond to conflict, how we relate to others, or how we see ourselves within relationships.

Life can you hit you hard! I know this from experience. The good news is, that there is always a way back, no matter how hopeless the situation might feel at the time. The fact that you are here right now shows that you have the inner strength and desire to move forward. That in itself is huge, and the first step towards discovering (or re-discovering) the person that you truly are. Maybe you are feeling stressed? or suffer from anxiety? Are you struggling with a past traumatic experience? or the loss of a loved one? You could be stuck in a rut and not know why? Whatever it may be, remember that it does not have to be permanent.

Hi, I’m Jane, a therapist offering both online and face-to-face sessions. My approach is integrative, creative and grounding, drawing from different therapeutic models to suit your individual needs. I believe therapy is a space where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface — whether that’s anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, burnout, or a sense of feeling lost or disconnected. My aim is to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward a more balanced, authentic life. Sometimes that means working through painful memories or patterns; other times, it’s about rediscovering joy, purpose, and self-acceptance.

I support individuals and couples facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and early childhood challenges. A key focus of my work is supporting relationships that are experiencing strain or disconnection. This may include communication breakdown, where conversations become difficult, unproductive or conflict-driven; a decline in intimacy, where emotional or physical closeness has faded; or broken trust, including the complex and often painful aftermath of affairs. I help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviours, while guiding you to develop practical skills to cope, repair and move forward.

Life can get hard sometimes (really hard), and there’s no reason why you should have to face this chapter of your life on your own. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Some struggle with low self-esteem, identity issues, people-pleasing behaviours, relationship difficulties, or simply a lingering feeling of being a little lost within their own lives. I can offer a gentle space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

I utilise relational psychotherapy to create a strong therapeutic bond and psychodynamic therapy to view your experiences through an attachment framework.
To support you in making practical changes I draw upon CBT and third-wave approaches like ACT and CFT. These allow us to focus on practical strategies as we move towards living a life aligned with your values. I approach labels with caution. While diagnoses can be helpful for some I focus on the personal meaning you find in your experiences.

If you're not sure why you're here, then maybe I can help find out why. You may feel sad or confused, or you may just want to understand what's on your mind.  Therapy can help you explore the issues you are currently having.  Talking to a neutral, non-judgmental person can help you understand your feelings. My approach is flexible, which I believe helps meet the individual's desired outcomes.  I am gentle and self-effacing, and I offer a caring environment to help you openly share your process.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
