Every therapy session will more than likely be a journey. Emotions run high because feeling and memories emerge that you may have not been prepared for so it's important that you feel comfortable, safe and supported. The therapy session should be a judgement free zone where you are listened to but also challenged while your boundaries are respected. You shouldn't feel the need to filter yourself, let it be your time for expression because that time is solely about you and how you're feeling. Not every session will leave you feeling emotionally raw because therapy is as much about your good days as it is your bad. Enjoy the process.

Client 1 - "Ian's sessions have been nothing less than transformational and I now feel far better equipped to live my life without low moods and anxiety. My time with Ian is, without doubt, amongst the most valuable expereinces of my life. I would highly recommend him."
Client 2 - "After years of gaslighting I began therapy doubting my sanity. Ian offered the deep listening and validation I desperately needed to feel safe and truly believed. With Ian's expert guidance I was able to move towards radical acceptance - grieving the relationship, letting go of any hope that they might change and breaking free of the trauma bonds."

Hi – I'm Jo. I’m a Counselling Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner. I work with adults and young people (15+). Sometimes life will present us with challenges and difficulties that we struggle to make sense of, or that make us feel stuck and unable to move forward positively. We may have experienced trauma /relational traumas. Not knowing what to do or how to be when we have these experiences can create a diverse set of uncomfortable feelings. Its different for everyone; whilst one person may feel overwhelmed or isolated, another may struggle with negative thoughts, anger, anxiety or depression. Perhaps this sounds like you?

Hi, thanks for stopping by to check me out. It’s not easy to reach out for help and it can be hard to know what you need from the many services and therapists on offer. Like others I work with, you might find it hard to trust in people and open up. Maybe you're good at hiding your hurt and pain? Or you’re worried you’re making a big deal over things that you "should" have moved on from by now? Perhaps you’re ashamed that these things happened in the first place or feel embarrassed that they still bother you? It might feel wrong to feel sad when some things in your life are going well and others seem to have it so much harder?

Reaching out for therapy isn't always easy. You may have been struggling for a while, or perhaps something has happened that's left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or no longer like yourself. Whether you're living with the effects of trauma, navigating a difficult relationship, coping with grief, chronic illness, low self-esteem, neurodivergence, or a major life change, having a space that's just for you can make all the difference. Therapy isn't about having all the answers; it's about having the time and support to explore what's happening, understand yourself more deeply, and begin moving towards the life you want

Having worked with adults across a range of issues, my practice is now focussed towards couples and individuals struggling with relationship issues.
My aim is to support couples to create positive, alive, joyful relationships which will not only enhance their own lives, but also provide a secure and loving foundation for any children. Usually this means couples come together, but sometimes I work with individuals who recognise the need to address the way they relate to others and want to bring about change in this area of their lives.

Sexual Abuse Counsellors
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
