We all have troubling problems at times, be they emotional, personal or work-related. Sometimes these problems can feel overwhelming and we become stressed, anxious and unhappy. This can affect our confidence handling relationships, making decisions and generally, our ability to just cope with the pressures that each day brings. Reaching out to an experienced therapist will enable you to talk openly about your concerns and be listened to without being judged. For many people, this is a profound way of bringing about positive and lasting change.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I am best suited to those who want to understand themselves and those around them - or to understand what has happened to them. This inquiry is often prompted by some degree of difficulty; illness, loss, trauma, breakdown etc. but it can equally arise out of a pervading sense of depression, purposelessness or malaise about life. When one has some understanding of oneself and how a situation came about then life becomes much easier to navigate - an adventure even. Every situation, every person, every path, is unique and so every therapy is entirely individual.

Therapy offers an important step in discovering the world around us and finding our place in it. For some people, coming to therapy is a big step. It can take courage to identify a need to heal, recover or progress. My approach aims to ensure that you feel safe in the knowledge that you can trust the therapeutic process. Maintaining the core values of empathy, unconditional positive regard for you as well as congruence (being authentic), I also use other modes of therapy.

Hello! I’m Tilly – a qualified and accredited psychotherapist, who is captivated by human emotion and behaviour! In my sessions, I strongly believe in not only revisiting the past (which can be very painful) but also the importance of focusing on the present state and also hopes for the future. I feel passionate about incorporating all three elements of time and feel that this gives a more holistic framework to the therapy. I am an Integrative psychotherapist and also pay particular attention to the connection between mind and body. I believe our bodies tell us alot and that we should listen!

You might feel stuck in certain areas of your life, or struggle with your feelings or relationships. Life can feel complex and challenging to everyone at times. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, low-mood, trauma, PTSD, grief, bereavement, domestic abuse, sexuality, gender and identity issues, or you may like to explore how to move forward in certain relationships that feel blocked. Perhaps everything looks good on paper, but you have a sense you’d like to expand or develop your self-understanding, awareness, vitality or confidence - or focus on a practical area of your life, with support.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift? You might struggle to connect with your emotions or body, or find yourself overthinking and shutting down under stress. In relationships, communication may feel hard, especially during conflict or when expressing needs. A contribution to this can be the experience of sexual difficulties both individually or in a relationship. This can impact both our confidence and create distance around engaging with intimacy. Making sense of your behaviour patterns and why they repeat, could enable you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself and others.

I am a Specialist Neurodiversity (ADHD & Autism) Relationship and Couples Psychotherapist, offering therapy and coaching to support partners navigating the challenges that ADHD and/or Autism (ASD) can bring into their relationship. When one or both partners are neurodivergent, relationships can become filled with tension, misunderstandings, and emotional ups and downs. Differences in communication styles, emotional expression, organisation, and sensory or social needs can easily lead to conflict. Small issues can quickly turn into big arguments, and both partners can end up feeling exhausted, hurt, or alone.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.

Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.

Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.

What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
