Counsellor, MA, BACP

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor and a Psychosexual therapist offering individual counselling, couples counselling and
family
counselling.
Sometimes we all need additional support to navigate difficult times and making a decision to seek help for our personal problems can be daunting. I believe in creating a safe space to work together, where you are the expert in your own experiences and I have the experience and expertise in psychological theories and techniques. I believe that by bringing together this expertise we can work together to enable you to achieve your unique personal goals. Some of the relationship problems I work with include communication issues, affairs and betrayals,
family
issues, parenting issues, separation and divorce.
Laura Fulcher
Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
Verified
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for children, young people, parents and adults. Young people can often have worries that they find hard to talk to their parents about. Talking to someone outside the
family
can often make all the difference. I offer space for parents to talk about their worries and work on their parenting strategies. Sometimes a few sessions are all that is needed to make a big change in the
family
. Sometimes I work with a parent and child together if there are particular relationship issues. I also work with adults for individual problems.

Counsellor, MNCS Prof Accred

I specialise in working with clients facing Stress and Anxiety in their lives. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming. Anxiety is actually an entirely natural and healthy response to feeling threatened or in danger, a mechanism designed to keep us safe. However, problems can arise when our anxiety response becomes ‘unhealthy’, in some cases it can begin to negatively impact our lives and this is when we may require additional support.

Are you having difficulties with your relationship? Are you having constant arguments or has you partner had an affair? Relationships are difficult at the best of times, but sometimes can feel too difficult to manage without some help. Whether individually or together, relationship counselling can enable you to find a way through these difficulties. It will enable you to talk things through in a safe space and to create a better, healthier relationship. It can also help you to end one that isn't working and to help you to explore what you want to do next, especially when there are children involved.
Chapters Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP Accred

I specialise in Children and Young People's Counselling. Early intervention is the key to mental wellbeing and learning how to cope effectively with life's challenges. Life can be complex and difficult for many reasons, particularly when you are young. Sometimes a child or young person needs someone to listen to them. It can often be hard for them to express to others how they feel, even though families, friends and their school may be trying to help. I can help families or individuals cope with a range of emotional difficulties, I also offer a confidential school based counselling service..
