Hello my name is Dr David Postlethwaite I have been a practicing Hypnotherapist since 1991. I hold a BSc and Phd in psychology and post graduate qualifications in Counselling and Hypnotherapy. I do not mislead people into believing they need multiple sessions. No matter what your issue whether it is stopping smoking, losing weight, stress, anxiety, addictions, fears or phobias I will help you with just 1 session of traditional Hypnotherapy. I am a member of the Hypnotherapy Association and carry full medical insurance. My qualifications and training have not been obtained through online courses but through recognized universities.

I have a huge passion for helping people of all diversities and their mental wellbeing. My personal philosophy is to always act with sensitivity and integrity, be mindful of the BACP Ethical Framework, and take a non-judgemental approach with all of my clients.

Counselling gives you an opportunity to talk in confidence, with a skilled practitioner who will help you explore any issue or decision which is necessary to improve quality of life. Issues may include bereavement, loss, stress, anxiety, carer issues, abuse, relationship difficulties, sexuality, work related situations, depression, eating distress, trauma or lack of self-confidence. I believe we all internalise emotions at times, if we can remind ourselves to talk about our feelings with a professional, the rewards may prove to be enormous, helping you to find your sense of self and discover the quality of life you deserve.

Are you hurting today, have you been feeling bad for a while? Maybe you feel nothing? We can explore together what is happening to you and why you are feeling like this. In therapy you can release these emotions and be free of them. I can support you to make the changes you may want to. If you often feel down, angry, tearful, scared or feel ashamed. You may be so fed up with it all you want to run out of this world to leave it all behind. You may be scared but cannot say why. If any of this is upsetting you and you find it hard to cope with everyday life tasks please don't suffer alone, I am here to help you.

I work with clients with low self-esteem so they can increase their self-confidence and start to create the life and relationships they want. Would you like to stop people pleasing or feeling guilty when you do not do what others want? Would you like to stop feeling 'not good enough'? Do you feel anxious, unloved or insecure in your relationships? Would you like to increase your confidence and feel more able to assert your needs? Are you in a relationship where you feel you cant use your voice?

Struggling to cope with negative emotions can feel very isolating and, by the nature of some problems, guilt and shame can make us feel stigmatised and prevent us reaching out for support even when its not our fault. People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life. Some people find they use alcohol or drugs in an attempt to cope with their feelings but inventively this creates more problems.

I have a warm and empathetic approach, and a wealth of experience both in the NHS and in private practice working with adults, adolescents and children with a range of problems, including: anxiety; depression; trauma and PTSD; stress and burnout; obsessions and compulsions; relationship problems; Personality Disorder and emotional regulation; and, emotional difficulties associated with physical health problems. I regularly work with clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder and learning disabilities.

I have over 25 years experience, working privately, within the NHS, relate couples counselling, drug & alcohol services, refugee & disability agencies & as a coach. Confidentiality guaranteed. Free telephone consultation. I work face to face, video & telephone calls locally & internationally.

Hello I'm Nicole, a humanistic integrative psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor with many years experience of working with individuaIs, organisations and groups. Twelve years ago I set up Peel Psychological Consultancy, a private counselling service and training centre in the hope that I'd be able to create a space in which the client felt, respected, accepted, supported and understood. It is my belief that relational trauma lies at the heart of most psychological distress therefore, whilst I adhere to theory and research, it is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist that I find most important and effective.
