Warren James Stiles
Psychotherapist, MBACP
Over the years, I've come to appreciate that everyone, regardless of their background, has a unique story that is worthy of being heard and understood. Life, with its unpredictable turns, presents challenges that can sometimes feel insurmountable. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, respect, and evidence-based practice. I combine both Psychodynamic Therapy, where I look to understand your childhood to where you are today, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an integrative approach.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about their lives. Clients often come to therapy when they are struggling with relationships, stress, burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful. Some may have spent years managing alone and are ready to understand themselves more deeply. Together, we explore your experiences, including how the past may shape the present, in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space, helping you develop greater resilience, clarity and self-understanding while creating the opportunity for meaningful change.

Counsellor, MA, MBACP Accred
Welcome. You're not alone. And you can change. Being traumatised can feel like being trapped in a wooden rowboat on the choppiest, wildest ocean imaginable – in danger, out of control, with no help, support, anchor or safety in sight. You can change from traumatised to un-traumatised. From anxious and depressed to calm and balanced. From emotionally overwhelmed to having great emotional awareness, management and resilience. From feeling physically vulnerable and unsafe to confident and strong in your body. You can become your own anchor, able to ground and support yourself when life is, inevitably, challenging.
