My name is Sam and I am a BACP registered counsellor in Humanistic and integrative therapy.
Committing to counselling is I believe, the first important step towards being able to become unstuck and process feelings around various issues or curveballs that we as human beings experience in life. I believe that counselling can facilitate personal growth and new beliefs by exploring feelings, in an honest, empathic and non-judgemental relationship with a counsellor. My role is to support you, be alongside you, and move at your pace as you decide the direction in which you would like your life to go.

Many clients find their way to me following difficulty with symptoms associated with depression, low self-esteem and/or with features of anxiety (in its varying clinical forms.) They frequently report reaching a point where day to day life feels a struggle; offers little sense of purpose/direction with limited experiences of satisfaction or joy. By developing a shared understanding of their problem, including the elements that have served to maintain the clients problem until now - we can be better informed as to what changes are needed (cognitively & behaviorally) to improve symptoms and renew their sense of coping.

Most people come to therapy at a point where they would like to examine more closely what is happening for them in their lives, both within themselves and in relationships with others. I offer a space in which to do this, and simply walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion, as you take a look at what is happening now and often how it may have been influenced by what has gone before. My approach is to deeply welcome all areas of your experience that need some acknowledgement and awareness, grounded in the knowledge of your infinite potential for insight, transformation, and healing.

Hi, I'm Annabelle. I am a qualified integrative counsellor. This means I can draw on a range of psychological models and tailor my approach to your needs - whether you need someone to sit with you in your pain, help you find acceptance, explore changes in your sense of self, heal wounds from the past, make positive changes and develop new skills. Perhaps you have experienced loss, relationship issues, anxiety or trauma. Looking after your mental health is not selfish and can help you develop resilience. I have 10 years' experience in the NHS working with clients with depression, anxiety and health challenges including Long COVID.

Are you finding it hard to break free from cycles of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, or self-doubt? You’re not alone. Many people I support share that they often feel caught in their thoughts navigating self-criticism, people-pleasing, or a lack of motivation without fully understanding why.

Hello - I'm Elaine, an integrative counsellor specialising in grief and loss.
Grief can come after many kinds of loss - the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, the loss of your health, your role, or the future you hoped for.

Together we’ll explore what you’re carrying, make space for your feelings, and help you live alongside your loss with more support, ease and meaning.

Could counselling be the support you need at the moment to improve some of the issues you are experiencing? If you are feeling alone, overwhelmed or confused about the pandemic, parenthood, work, a bereavement or other life experiences or relationships, I can offer Face to Face, zoom or phone counselling to explore this.

Feeling seen, heard and understood is essential for our health and I provide a safe place for this. When we feel that our bodies and minds are working against us it can overwhelm, exhaust and isolate us. I help people who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences reconnect with their sense of safety, worth and agency. Sometimes simply the absence of empathy and understanding in our early years can be sufficient to cause deep wounds. I am an experienced therapist, using a Trauma-informed, Attachment and body-based approach to gently support healing.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
