Talya Griffith
Psychotherapist, MNCS Accred
Verified
My name is Talya. At the heart of how I work is the belief that everyone's choices and experiences are understandable if we give the time and attention to understanding them. When we are supported it becomes more possible to gain insight into the ways we feel limited, to acknowledge and release the feelings that can keep us stuck and to find new ways of being. Therapy can provide a chance to heal from the hurts that accumulate within us and help us find the resources to meet life fully. Through our time together, you may find that new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you become possible.

My aim is to bring together effective approaches incorporating a variety of therapeutic models such as relational therapy, humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment theory, person centred and neuroscience. This will also depend on your individual needs. My experience also covers body psychotherapy and energy work along with solution based therapy and mindfulness. I offer both short and long term therapy and the length of therapy will depend upon the presenting issues and your wishes. Is there a particular problem you would like to talk through and explore?

Counsellor, MBACP

Tensions, patterns and blocks.. how do we effectively change ? Talking is a start,but we need to balance it with action. I provide tools, years of experience and caring support to guide this. Talking and witnessing help to identify and become conscious of what drives our worries, reactions and hurts. Then we begin the process of healing, moving forward. I identify what's appropriate for you, sometimes it's a practical new plan, creating new approaches to communication, setting boundaries or challenging outdated belief systems, sometimes it's a process for healing old emotions, or showing self-healing tools to practice.
Virginia Toole
Counsellor, MBACP

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.
Debbie Horton
Counsellor, MNCS Accred
Verified
I support individuals who are looking for support with a wide range of concerns. They could be a result of old patterns of behaviour that have outlived their usefulness, belief systems that don’t seem right anymore or emotional wounds from the past. There is a desire to change, to move forwards, and to live more fully. But how do you do it?

I'll listen without judging, and respond to you openly and honestly. I trust your potential to grow in your own way, towards the life you want.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist & Accredited EMDR therapist with over 20 years experience of treating trauma and stress related mental health conditions within the NHS. I am now offering my extensive knowledge and skills privately. As a Clinical Psychologist, I only deliver evidence-based therapies of the highest quality. I am able to combine such effective therapies to meet the individual needs of the client. I offer structured treatment plans that are time-limited and hence cost-effective.

Are you experiencing discomfort in your life, that could be relating to your past, present or future? I specialise in working with Emotions and Core Beliefs that are often linked to life events, such loss, illness, accidents, moving home, relationship issues, bereavements, trauma or events that you have experienced in your childhood. This can cause repeating patterns of behaviour and can also be the root of pain held within the body. Releasing emotions and negative beliefs that are no longer helpful can enhance your life, bringing about a sense of calm, peace and spaciousness; helping you to reach your full potential.

Ian Scott
Psychologist, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
Verified
I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.
