TL;DR I mostly work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or OCD stuff/intrusive thoughts, to better understand what's happening and find ways to improve things. I continue to learn to better support the people I work with, particularly around gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and neurodiversity.

I know that seeking out a counsellor can be no easy task, and if you're reading this it's possible that you may have just had enough with feeling the way that you do. Sometimes we all need support in finding a way through, and in offering that support I bring the depth of my expertise and experience as a counsellor. I work with warmth, compassion and integrity, and a genuine desire to help a person tackle the particular difficulties facing them (see my video below). As a therapist I have some 20 years experience in supporting clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.

My experience has been varied, having worked for the last 5 years with both adults and young people on issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, and I have particular experience in working with those who’ve lived through trauma or abuse, and those who are struggling with suicidal ideation or self-harm.
Life is full of unpredictable change and challenges, and we all need support sometimes. I specialise in reconnecting people with themselves, and with their direct experience as a resource for living – supporting them to restore a real sense of balance, connectedness and meaning in their lives. I offer a safe, collaborative space where we will focus on what is most important to you. I will move alongside you with understanding and presence, both supporting and challenging you, while we process what is happening together. Therapy will be a place where all aspects of your human experience are welcomed without judgement.

I am committed to ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and have completed further training in relational work, suicidal ideation, and women’s issues.
Hi, I’m Nicki. I’m an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. I work with a range of approaches to suit your needs and preferences. Life can feel overwhelming at times—stress, trauma, or unresolved feelings can show up as anxiety, low mood, overthinking, issues seeming bigger than they are, sleep problems, or relationship challenges. You might feel anger, a sense of unfairness, struggle with past experiences that are still affecting you. In therapy, we can explore these experiences together. I’ll help you understand yourself and patterns, manage emotional overwhelm, and find more balance and calm.

I work with individuals who are struggling with all kinds of issues, such as depression, anxiety and stress, questions of identity, personality problems, relationship issues, bereavement, addictions, abuse, anger management and many other difficulties. Sometimes problems can be difficult to articulate, like feeling lost, confused, or like something just isn’t right. Often we can face problems that feel so ingrained that we might feel there can’t be a solution. We might feel ‘it’s just who I am’. I am also an experienced couples therapist. Most fights between couples are rooted in the pain of loosing connection with each other.

Hi there! I’m Aneela. Life can be difficult, busy, and messy, which is why we all need support from time to time to deal with it. Our emotional health is an important part of our overall health, so when that is affected other areas of our lives are also. It affects how we feel about ourselves, others, and the world around us - so I'm glad you've stopped by. Therapy can give you power over your circumstances rather than them having power over you. Therapy can be an important part of taking care of ourselves, so we are better able to understand what’s going on for us. I would love to be a helping hand in this process for you.

Hello, I'm Chloe Johnstone, a dedicated psychotherapist with a passion for supporting individuals. I offer collaborative psychotherapy with my use of the Relational Approach, and my Integrative training allows me to draw from various approaches, such as: Transactional Analysis, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Somatic Therapy. Relational psychotherapy emphasises the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. Together, we would consider the role of interpersonal dynamics and how past relationships, especially in early life, influence your current psychological state.

As an integrative therapist, I've helped clients with a range of issues including porn/sex addiction, alcohol and drug addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. Many people find themselves in challenging situations that can make them question who they are and want they want from life. Perhaps you’ve found yourself trapped in recurring patterns that you just can’t seem to get out of and you’re ready to make a meaningful change towards becoming a more authentic version of yourself. Therapy is a great place to explore some of these challenges and allows the opportunity to gain a deeper perspective on your life.
