Hello, my name is Maria and I'm an experienced, professional BACP counsellor. I recognise you've taken a bold step to reach out for help and it can be daunting to find a therapist who you can trust and connect with. Being sensitive, curious, non judgemental, along with a sense of humour enables my clients to feel safe, to be open and vulnerable with themselves and others. Perhaps your experiencing difficulties with life, relationships or work and cope by keeping busy, numbing yourself or avoiding your thoughts and feelings. These strategies may leave you feeling anxious, stressed, lonely or depressed if not dealt with.

I provide a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can talk freely and honestly about what is concerning you. Together, we can take the time to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours as well as reflecting on your life, relationships and work. Working together, each week, we can piece together the reasons that underly your issues, and enable you to bring about lasting improvements in the way you feel and act. I work with individuals and couples to facilitate meaningful and lasting change for a greater sense of wellbeing.

Do you find yourself saying ‘I’m fine’ when someone asks ‘How are you?’, but inside you are crumbling? Do you find yourself putting a mask on whenever you are around others in fear of them seeing what is really going on inside? Or do you find yourself ignoring your emotions and just pushing them away and not giving yourself the time to explore how you are really feeling? Life can be incredibly challenging at times and I understand how some life experiences can have a big impact on us and can leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. Before you know it, you have lost direction and feel stuck and unable to find your way back.

Hi! I’m Teresa Chan, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist offering integrative psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and older adults. My approach is thoughtful, gentle, and grounded, supporting clients to better understand their inner experiences, address unhelpful patterns, and move toward meaningful change, growth, and self-acceptance.
Therapy can be a space to speak openly and get things off your chest, especially when thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to organise. It offers time to slow down, reflect, and make sense of patterns shaped by past and present experiences.

You’re the person others rely on, but your own mind rarely gives you a break.
From the outside, you seem to have everything together. Inside, you’re overthinking, questioning yourself or imagining what could go wrong. You might replay conversations, seek reassurance, struggle to switch off or feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Living with anxiety and worry is exhausting. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who have spent years trying to manage their anxiety on their own. They often feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt and needing certainty before they can move forward.

Do others view you as a calm river with a constant, steady flow? Does this stop you from telling them about the disarming undercurrent that pulls you in all directions? Perhaps you feel like you need to maintain the outward appearance of being someone who ‘has it all’ when inwardly you are scared that you aren’t enough. Appearing perfect can be exhausting, it can also be isolating and erode our true sense of self. I am here so that you can rest your mask down for a while. By tapping into and meeting the needs of your inner self you will find that you feel resourced enough to fortify your relationships with others.

I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, often despite being self-aware and trying to cope on their own. You might notice your mind won’t switch off, your body feels on edge, or past experiences are still affecting how you feel and respond day to day. I help you make sense of what’s going on and support you to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control. I work with issues including grief, trauma, ADHD, burnout, relationship and family difficulties, and challenges around self-esteem and identity.

Hello I’m Jeni. As an experienced Dramatherapist I have found that when things are too hard to talk about initially, creativity can help us to express and process and then release what no longer serves us. My private practice allows me to work online with adults, and young people, and in a Primary school with a specialist speech and language unit. I have also worked in numerous Secondary schools. I have experience in working with anxiety, low self esteem, pre and post bereavement, fostering and adoption (life story work) neurodiversity and survivors of sexual assault

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with experience across NHS and private healthcare settings, specialising in the psychological impact and adjustment to long-term health conditions, trauma, injury, and persistent pain.

Hi there! I am Amber, the Director of Healthy Mind Psychology. We aim to be a different type of practice. Our focus includes work with those people trying to cope with all the stresses and strains of unprecedented times upon us. But many struggle with issues outside of the normal narrative of mental health, or physical health too. Our practice aims to explain the stress response (whether that be from overdue bills, a critical family system, a harsh workplace, current or previous traumas, or a host of other things!) and the science behind how the mind/body interact to create physical symptoms, emotional distress, or bad habits!

Oxford-trained psychodynamic psychotherapist and Chartered Psychologist, with over twenty years in research and clinical practice. Most people who find their way to me have already tried the other things, the strategies, the talking it through, and reached the point where insight is not changing anything. Something in the life they have built no longer quite fits the person living it.
I work beneath the symptoms. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion are usually where the work begins, not where it stays.
I offer a free initial conversation, without obligation.
