Counselling in Hexham

My name is Dr Clark Davison and I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with experience working within the NHS and private sector at a senior level. ​

I have 25 years qualified experience as a Clinical Psychologist working with people with a wide range of issues. These include, amongst others, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Adjustment and Loss as well as coping with Physical Health Difficulties and Health Anxiety. I like to offer people a quiet space where I can guide them through talking about the things that matter to them and help them make sense of things. As I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, I can offer a bespoke service to best suit the person I am working with and help them move forward with their life.

My qualifying training is as a humanistic integrative psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor. I have since undergone extensive post qualifying training, study and experience to enable me to work in a way which is Jungian Oriented. I have 35 years experience working with individuaIs, families and groups. After working in independent organisations as well as Health and Social care, I set up my own independent private therapy service and teaching centre. My hope has been to create a space where all individuals feel respected, accepted, supported and understood in order that to fully understand themselves and their place in the world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, experiencing low mood or self esteem, or generally just struggling with life at the moment? Do your feelings, thoughts and emotions feel all mixed up, like a tangled ball of wool? We can work together to untangle it. I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts feelings and emotions, together w find a way to see a clearer path for what you want and need out of life. I work with both adults and teenagers. I have over 20 years experience working in education and am currently a school counsellor as well as doing private practice.

Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, sad or just not feeling yourself? Then counselling might be something that can help you, whether it is a new concern or a long held one. Sometimes emotional pain or life events can temporarily cloud your ability to see possible solutions, leaving you feeling stuck, confused, unhappy, anxious, sad or even shut down. The process of talking about this can gradually make things seem clearer as you make sense of your feelings and your thoughts become more ordered. You can feel change taking place, sometimes to your own surprise and so start to find a way forward that feels right for you.

Hello, and thanks for visiting. I'm Laura and I'm trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist. I'm a firm believer that each person is uniquely individual, and any therapeutic help they receive should be tailored to them, and their needs.​ Being Integrative means I'm not set on one school of thought, and work with you to find what approach fits best for you. You're in control of the sessions, you can bring whatever issues you'd like to discuss, , we go at a pace you're comfortable with. We'll look at working together to set realistic goals, based on what you'd like to achieve.

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.

I share my time between private practice and working as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. Whilst I typically work with clients who are experiencing anxiety or low mood, I have a special interest in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD). I have extensive experience working in adult mental health and I am qualified in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I hold clinics in the evenings in Jesmond.

There are many reasons why you may be seeking out a therapist to help with the issues you face in your life. You may be experiencing distressing feelings; you may be approaching important crossroads in life and you’re faced with uncertainty; you may feel like your confidence or self-esteem is low. It may also be something more difficult to put your finger on – you may have an unnameable sense that something just isn’t right with your internal world and you want to make a change. You may be wondering what it is that I can do to help, so let's start there...
