Hi, I'm Matthew and I am a Family & Couples Psychotherapist. I have worked with children, families and couples for over 20 years, helping them manage their emotional health and wellbeing. Often individual worries can lead to family issues and I support you individually or together, depending of your needs. I have helped children, young people and their parents and couples work through a range of difficulties including managing challenging behaviour, Autism, social and generalised anxiety, sleeping difficulties, anger management, frequent family clashes, the effects of couple tension, bereavement, and conflict in relationships.

Hello and welcome! I understand how difficult it can be to embark on a journey of self healing and discovery such as counselling- whether you are ready to pick up the phone right this second or you are just browsing for now, the fact that you have made it this far is a huge step. I believe that no two individuals are the same and my practice reflects this.

Hello, I have been practising counselling and psychotherapy in North Wales and West Cheshire for twelve years. Over time I have worked with a diverse group of clients who come to see me about anxiety, stress, depression and low mood, and addictions. During this time years I have developed a speciality in trauma: this might be experienced as PTSD however one understands it, or it can be an event or series of events that just will not leave the person alone, will not give them peace. I have learned methods and interventions that help clients to effectively get over this and the other issues that I have mentioned above.

Welcome to you and thank you for reaching out. It is a brave step to seek support. I will work with you to create a safe space where you feel comfortable and supported. It takes courage to work on your lived experiences and first we'll create safety in the therapeutic relationship so you can explore what is troubling you. Maybe you do not have words for your experiences and would feel safer exploring with art materials before you are able to say what is on your mind. Art therapy is a container for previously unmanageable emotions and painful thoughts or experiences which are often stored in the body as tension, stress or overwhelm.

In Life certainly in the present days. We are bombarded with directions and advice as to how we should live our lives and this can be very confusing. Issues that we all have instead of being opened up and discussed are simply painted over emotionally to fit in with the expectations of modern living. It can feel a very lonely isolated place for many individuals with no one that they can truly open up to with the pain they may be feeling inside.t

Hi, I’m Helen - a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist ('CBT') and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing ('EMDR') practitioner. I have over 15 years’ experience of working within NHS mental health services and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT and an MSc in Applied Social Studies.

Hello my name is Collette. I have over 20 years’ experience in the field of mental health with a special interest in low self-esteem, trauma, including PTSD, depression, generalised anxiety, OCD, illness anxiety and phobias. I have an MSc in Advanced Practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), am a qualified counsellor, counselling supervisor and EMDR practitioner (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). I work with clients to achieve their goals from therapy.

Asking for help is not easy but making that first step can feel really positive. I am an experienced BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and work to help people (including children and young people) who are experiencing a range of issues including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, depression, as well as low self-esteem and other difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, especially the way that unhelpful thoughts lead to and maintain distressing feelings and behaviours that can be a problem for some people and their families.

I don't know what brings you here today but looking for counselling and finding the right therapist takes courage. Life can be hard and asking for support is difficult at times. My goal is to make sure you feel seen and heard. Whatever you are struggling with, whether it is a troubling memory that doesn't seem to leave you alone, a day to day struggle that you feel is holding you back, an experience you're dealing with and didn't think you'd face, or if you're feeling at the end of yourself - talking about these things is a huge step toward resolving your issues and moving to a place of thriving in the life you want to live.

We all know life can get tough at times and we can struggle to see our way through it. Sometimes it helps to talk those experiences or feelings through with someone who can really listen and brings no agenda with them. There are so many reasons to come to therapy difficult times in life, things feeling not quite right, anxiety or depression or things from our past effecting us in the here and now (attachment or trauma). Therapy is a safe, neutral place you can use to explore what is happening for you, and it can support you in deciding how you want to manage it.

Hi, I’m Dr Nadia Balmain. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and an accredited EMDR Practitioner. I have provided psychotherapy for over ten years both in the NHS and in private practice. I offer therapy for many different problems, but I have a special interest in providing therapy for PTSD, complex Trauma, Anxiety and Depression. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is the gold standard treatment for PTSD and is recommended by NICE guidelines. EMDR helps clients to process traumatic and distressing experiences which are causing the present-day symptoms.

Did you know.........? We have an average of over 40,000 automatic thoughts a day. That's a lot, isn't it? They become an issue when they sit and land for us, taking control and changing the way we look at ourselves, how we view others and they can really impact our lives. I offer a safe space through online therapy using video calls, to support you with any issues that you are struggling with. Reach out today and make that first step to a happier you!

The issues that counsellors face are often complex and deeply personal. My experience of over 10 years in private practice and a third sector organisation has shown me the importance of each person deciding on their own needs and finding their own way through the issues they bring.

Is this you? Is your mind clouded all the time, have you got 200 things running through your head, do you struggle to concentrate, find it hard to make decisions?   Do you doubt yourself lots, low-confidence, negative thoughts, think more of others than yourself?   Are you living in the past, grieving loved ones, not dealing with your problems, involved in toxic relationships?   Is it time to stop and think about your mental health and wellbeing?

Thank you for your interest in my practice. How can I help you ? I have worked in Mental Heath services for eighteen years , I offer a safe non judgemental therapeutic environment for you to process your thoughts and feelings . I am also a Certified Life Coach and offer outdoor walking sessions. As from January 2019, I now offer a service where I can work therapeutically with children and young people from the age of 4-18 years of age, with issues ranging from anxiety, abuse and Bereavement amongst many others.
