People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons: you may want support with a life event or transition, be experiencing anxiety or depression, be feeling dissatisfied in your relationships, or want to better understand yourself and what you want from life. I'm fascinated by the ways we search for meaning in our lives, and I know how amazing and transformative good relationships of all kinds can be, and how painful it can be when we struggle to find or keep them. I'm passionate about helping people learn to relate to themselves, others and the world in the fullest possible way.

Counsellor, MBACP

Hello, My name is Lucy, I am a qualified counsellor and Senior Psychological well-being practitioner for IAPT. I work in an integrative modality meaning the therapy will be led by you and what you would like to focus on. I strongly believe we are the best experts on ourselves but can sometimes become lost along the way and can refind ourselves or answer questions in therapy. I work with different counselling modalities and adapt to what may be more appropriate for you. Additionally, I can implement guided self-help CBT to help with any difficulties in the present and to provide coping strategies/interventions

Hi, I’m Anita, a UKCP Therapist-in-Advanced Training. I believe the very heart of relational psychotherapy is a caring, deeply human meeting between two people. My approach is collaborative, inclusive, compassionate and curious. I offer a warm and caring presence and a safe, confidential space where together we can explore all that you may wish to bring at your own pace. Our earliest relational experiences create a blueprint for our future relationships, informing our needs and wants, how we feel about ourselves and how we expect to be treated. Therapy can help us to grow and step into our true selves more fully and with less shame.

Nat 1 Therapy
Counsellor, BACP

Although I offer traditional talk therapy, I work with teens and adults who feel like traditional talk therapy hasn't quite fit.
I use an integrative approach blending narrative and metaphor-based work — including tabletop RPGs like D&D. Stepping into story and character can open doors that direct conversation keeps shut, offering a shared language for real struggles. My style is intentionally less directive, following your lead rather than a fixed script.
