Hey, I'm Rosie and I am a Creative Psychotherapist. I mainly work with children and adolescence, however have experience in working with both adults and children. My main aim within practice is to provide a welcoming and safe space for individuals to explore and be themselves. I like to use the first few sessions to get-to-know each other, maybe play some games and make sure the setting is comfortable for the individual. The support I can provide uses a lot of creativity and play which can be beneficial for young people, as it can help to remove the pressures and anxiety that often occurs when thinking about starting psychotherapy.

You don’t need to have a clear “reason” for seeking counselling – whether you’re experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, or simply feel that something isn’t quite right.

I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly about what’s been difficult, at your own pace.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and work-related pressures. Therapy can offer space to understand patterns, develop coping strategies, and feel more steady in difficult moments.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your area and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by therapist characteristics, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the UK vary widely depending on whether you go through the NHS or seek private care. Through the NHS, wait times typically range from a few weeks to several months depending on your area and the urgency of your referral. Private therapists are generally available much faster, often within a few days to a couple of weeks. Wait times also differ by therapist type. Counsellors tend to be more widely available than clinical psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree and are fewer in number. In addition, therapists who specialise in trauma, eating disorders, or child and adolescent therapy also tend to have longer wait times due to the limited number of professionals relative to demand.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your area without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your GP can serve as a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation and, in some cases, connect you with local mental health services more quickly than a self-referral would. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health services may be available regardless of your ability to pay for private care. They can offer psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and medication management to help stabilise your situation in the interim while you wait for a longer-term therapist.
