I am currently offering low cost personal therapy as I complete the advanced stages of my Level 6 counselling training. It can be difficult to reach out for help and seek therapy. I want to welcome you to a world of exploration. Whether you feel at crisis point or just want to explore your own psychology in more depth then I am here to help you. Working alongside you, we can explore what brings you to personal therapy and what it is you aim to achieve. My priority for our counselling together is to create a safe, ethical and collaborative relationship where you are free to be honest and bring your whole self to our sessions.

I have worked for over 15 years as a body-oriented psychotherapist, specialising in prenatal & birth/ attachment issues, sexual trauma, life transitions & crisis. I am also a TRE (Tension Releasing Exercises) provider, to support the release of stress from the body/ mind. More recently I have trained to work with women of all ages & life stages around menstrual cycle awareness, the menopause passage & after & I am currently training as a women's transformational coach & facilitator. I feel passionately about supporting women to step into greater self-love, empowerment & fulfillment in all areas of their life.

As a Clinical Psychologist I aim to to practically apply psychological theory and research to help people to achieve emotional well being and enhance their quality of life when they are facing challenging life circumstances. Since 2012 I have worked in a variety of NHS psychology services, offering talking therapy and emotional support to individuals, couples and families. Alongside my work with Heal.Feel.Connect. I continue to work part-time for an NHS hospital in Gloucestershire, working with staff to reduce work-related stress and burnout, and promoting a culture of compassion and psychological safety within the organisation.

Hello. My name is Jo and I am a Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience treating traumatic experiences and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I specialise in helping people who experienced or witnessed accidents, conflict or difficult health conditions. I also specialise in maternal mental health, particularly traumatic births and postnatal depression. I work with people to help them get past difficult experiences so that they no longer have such an impact on their lives.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

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.

Hello. As an experienced psychotherapist, I can help you manage current life challenges like sudden changes or losses; anxiety; relationship issues; bereavement; loneliness; parenthood; depression or past experiences intruding on your present. Sometimes clients come with a more general sense of unfulfilment or want to know themselves better. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to share your load, rather than carrying it alone. Psychotherapy offers vital connection, support and opportunity to work things through with an empathic, trained professional totally unconnected to your life.

I am an experienced, counsellor and supervisor. Offing a warm non judgemental, safe space to explore your feelings and difficulties. To talk about anything which may feel confusing, painful, or traumatic. 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 want to help you to find ways to live a fuller life and reach your unique potential.I can offer face to face or online working we can discuss your preference.

I am an experienced counsellor PROVIDING THERAPY IN THE OUTDOORS. Sometimes we want to talk but sitting in a counselling room might not feel like the right space for you. WALKING WHILST TALKING might just give you the space and freedom to begin to understand some uncomfortable feelings and past experiences in the safe hands of myself within nature. Being in nature will help you to learn how to resource yourself whilst processing the past giving you a clearer feel of the future. You may feel anxious or depressed, struggling with relationships. I work from Pittville Park, The Cotswolds and Crickley Hill. I also do home visits.

We constantly seek for others approval or opinion but we do not trust our selves, we ignore our gut and our intuition. My role as your counsellor is to encourage introspection and help you to connect the dots in an empathic, non judgmental way, to explore and make sense of your inner world, and in turn, your outer world. In our sessions I will not give advice, tell you what to do or give my opinion, because ultimately only you know the answers, and you are the expert in your own life. I know how weird it feels to share to a complete stranger but the process is at your pace and I welcome a sense of humour:)

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

You're already on your way; I'll meet you where you are. Online or outdoors, you can expect a confidential relationship free of judgment. Whether you need short-term support to cope with a transition or are looking to better understand long-term patterns surrounding transitions in your life, I hope to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to explore and develop the skills you feel would help. I offer regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions - either online or as a walk and talk session - depending on what you're looking to achieve in our work together.

Hi, my name is Kate, and I am a therapist working online or face-to-face. I provide individual therapy as well as couple's therapy. I offer a non-judgemental space for you to unpack your troubles; honouring the trust you have placed in me to maintain confidentiality and safety. I provide an integrated therapeutic approach that recognises all people and their experiences are unique. My therapeutic approach is client-led and self-paced by you, allowing the therapy to be flexible and inline with your specific needs.

I enjoy helping you discover the key to why you are suffering with anxiety, OCD or depression. I understand struggling with anxiety can be overwhelming, particularly if you are experiencing panic attacks. Anxiety is simply your body's way of letting you know things are not quite right. I am also looking for counsellors requiring supervision, whilst I complete Relational Supervision training. This puts the relationship at the heart of our work. Helping you understand how the relationships are affecting you, as well as technicalities and ethics. I have an interest in neurodiversity and am passionate about being in nature.

Hello my name is Shelley and I am a qualified adult and child Therapeutic Counsellor. I have a vast amount of experience as a pastoral worker working in schools and as a counsellor working for a charity. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offer face to face or online sessions . These sessions provide a confidential, supportive environment where clients can feel safe and explore the work through any emotional or life difficulties. I believe by offering online counselling this gives each individual the ability to reach their true potential within the safety of their chosen space.

I have a face to face and online counselling practice based in Cheltenham and Gloucester, offering warm and accepting therapy for adults and children. Having a non-judgmental and safe space will give you the opportunity to explore whatever you may be struggling with.

As your therapist it is important to me that we work together explore the problem, understand how it developed and through psychoeducation, developing strategies and coping mechanisms we can understand, and work towards enabling you to reach your goal to wellness.
