As a qualified & experienced counsellor I feel comfortable in dealing with a variety of issues that affect our mental health including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relational difficulties, domestic & family abuse (verbal, physical and sexual), issues surrounding sexuality, gender and identity. Those who seek my help are often looking to change how they feel about a specific event, develop their self understanding and awareness so that they are more able to deal with difficult situations and emotions or to change patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. I offer both short and long term work.

Are you feeling stuck about the past? Perhaps the present is a source of stress? Or maybe you have a general feeling of uncertainty about the future? I am an empathic and non-judgemental therapist with the benefit of a practical and solution-focused mind. I can help you identify and meet your missing emotional needs so that you can heal and stay mentally balanced; moving you on from states such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or addiction. This is a modern therapy with the added advantage of an optional guided imagery at the end of each session, as an extra 'boost' for feeling emotionally calm and in control again.

Do you ever find yourself falling into the same unhelpful patterns - relationships, working too much, health - but don't seem to be able to stop this? Do you ever feel distress, anxiety, depression or sadness that can feel uncontrollable? Have you suffered a recent trauma and need help for PTSD? As a psychologist with ten years experience offering therapy, often to individuals with complex needs, I am passionate about helping you to break your cycles and understand why they occur. This can include offering a safe space to explore any history of difficult experiences which you still feel effect you.

If you're tired of living in survival mode, my work helps clients to move to a greater sense of clarity and gain tools to self-regulate and navigate life with confidence. If there is one thing we suffer from the most, it is a lack of resilience to navigate the "downs" of life, with faith in our capacity to grow even through the hard times. Whether you are stuck in a cycle of anxiety, struggling to resolve relationship challenges, or weighed down by unresolved trauma, our therapy journey is built on a foundation of safety to enable you to reassure your inner child and meet yourself with the compassion required to heal.

Sometimes life can be challenging and we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed or lost in thoughts. Events happen, people change or we lose things that are dear to us. Anxiety, depression, worry, fear, anger, stress, to name a few, can trouble us and make us feel like we are not in the place we wish to be. Having an understanding of ourselves and showing ourselves compassion can help us to see clearer and start a new outlook on life. Past experiences, trauma and other difficulties can be safely explored through therapy. Maybe you need a helping hand and a safe place to explore? I can help.

If you are someone struggling to understand yourself, the world around you, and your relationships, the space that we build together could facilitate a better understanding of yourself in relation to everything, including the emotional and personality difficulties you face as a result. These difficulties, in a more medicalised way, might be described using labels like depression, anxiety, BPD, mood disorders, OCD, trauma, etc. You can come as you are, with these labels or without them, and I will see and understand you without judgement and facilitate you towards the kind of growth and change that feels authentic to you.

Hi, my name's Sarah and I'm a clinical psychologist. The decision to see a therapist can feel daunting and anxiety provoking. Please be reassured that this is absolutely normal. In a therapy session I will give you my support and the compassion that you may be needing at this time.

Using my expertise (from many years of psychology training and work with clients), my aim would be to work with you to find a way forward that is going to enhance your life and enable you to live a life that feels richer and more fulfilling.

You may find yourself overwhelmed by self-criticism, disconnected from your emotions, or unsure how to move forward. Working with me offers more than just strategies to get through the day — it’s a space where you can truly be heard, understood, and supported in your healing. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can begin to explore what’s holding you back, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I’m Nicki, the counsellor and psychotherapist at Room for Hope. I think it’s really important when choosing a counsellor to find someone you feel comfortable and safe with; you may be telling me things you have never told anyone else before. Starting counselling can feel like a really vulnerable time when sharing difficult feelings and experiences. I am here to make you feel safe and heard and to validate you; your thoughts, feelings, experiences and responses. Maybe you are feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed; I can help you work through whatever you are struggling with. I work at your pace in a trauma-informed way.

Maybe life isn’t feeling how you’d like it to. You might be running on empty, tangled up in horrible, anxious thoughts, or feeling flat and low. Perhaps you’re stuck in patterns that keep delivering all-too-familiar feelings of pain, or carrying the weight of difficult experiences such as trauma, heartbreak, or shame. Maybe it’s the everyday pressures: work that drains you and leaves you unfulfilled, the stress of study, or the sense that nothing you do is ever enough, for yourself or for others.

Are you anxious, depressed, feeling stressed or issues getting you down? Sometimes life can be overwhelming and with no one to turn to. Life experiences may bring feelings of anger, fear or pain and by talking and understanding your individual situation together we can begin to make sense of it. Counselling can help you to deal with and recognise stress, anxiety, anger and any other emotions you may be experiencing. Having a safe place where you can just be yourself, express your feelings and emotions without having to feel you are burdening your loved ones can make all the difference.
