Here you are, searching for the right therapy and therapist...for you. Transpersonal (down-to-earth spiritual) psychotherapy receives you as you are, among us all, all of us held gently within the transformative context of oneness. Right now you may be struggling with uncomfortable or panicky feelings and thoughts, or a sense of disconnection and isolation. (Or not!) ...However, with your relationship with your self at core, you may also feel drawn to develop or deepen your sense of 'home' within your own being...in a warmingly empowering process (fine-tuned to you) of deeply calming relaxing self-awareness and spiritual awakening.

Trying to make sense of feelings and emotions in times of stress and change can be challenging. I use both or either SandStory Therapy(R) and Emotional Logic, bespoke to adults' individual needs to help gain better awareness of underlying difficulties. SandStory is a non-talking therapy, using chosen symbols within a sand tray, drawing on Jungian theory to enable deep exploration and understanding of what is being expressed from your unconscious. Emotional Logic coaching is a self-development method providing you with lifelong tools to help you when engaging with new and unpredictable situations.

Struggles with distress, rumination, self-criticism, destructive and repetitive behaviours you don’t want, relationship difficulties and loss are experiences that I believe will impact all of us over the course of our lives. Finding it hard to have clarity, understanding and compassion for yourself can also make it hard to reach out to others. It can also sometimes be difficult for those closest to us to respond in a helpful way.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or a little lost. Perhaps you’ve noticed familiar patterns in your relationships, at work, or in your inner world that feel hard to shift or understand. These experiences often have roots in earlier life—shaping how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we cope with the world around us. You might be looking for space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what feels difficult. Therapy offers a gentle, supportive place where we can begin to explore these thoughts and feelings together. You don’t need to have the answers—just a willingness to begin asking questions.

Hi, I am Max ( Qualified Person Centred Therapist) and I know from my own experience, that life can sometimes be a struggle. Events and experiences can leave us feeling lost, isolated or directionless . At such times, reaching out for help can feel very difficult and it is important that your search leads you to someone you feel you can trust . Counselling is an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings ,which might be affecting many different areas of your life. With careful and empathic listening, I endeavour to support you in finding your own way through what is often too complex and difficult to manage alone.

I seek to offer you a warm non judgemental, safe space to think and talk about anything which may feel confusing, uncomfortable, painful, traumatic or distressing . You do not necessarily need to be at crisis point to benefit from counselling, you may simply be feeling more anxious, tearful, stressed or angry and wondering how to get back to what feels more normal for you.

I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

Hello, I'm Carl, knowing that I can talk to someone about the things that I might be finding difficult is very important to me, especially if those feelings are ones I worry others wont understand. I aim to lessen that worry by providing an open and accepting space for you to be able to discuss the issues that your facing.

Life is full of challenges, and we can all struggle to cope with the impact of difficult events or circumstances. Therapy can be a useful support in navigating tricky periods and can help people deal with distress in a way that minimises its impact on quality of life. I work with individuals in a collaborative way, using a process of formulation to develop a shared understanding of psychological difficulties. The direction and content of our work will depend on an individual’s personal goals for the future and can range from exploratory work to a more structured approach focusing on the development of self-management skills.

Therapy can often involve seeing a professional, responding to questions that will help them figure out what's wrong, and taking another person's advice on how to deal with their difficulties. However, I offer a more humanistic approach to therapy, in which I will support you as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and help you find the solutions you've been looking for. You are, after all, the authority on your own life. I offer online and face to face sessions, equine therapy and walk and talk therapy. www.personcentredtherapy.uk
