Welcome to my profile - My name is Cat and I'm an expert in developmental trauma and personality difficulties. These can lead to a range of mental health needs that I can support you with (like anxiety, anger, risky behaviours, psychosis...) and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use, relationship struggles, and on. My approach is to understand the 'why', to get the root cause of difficult experiences so that we know how to improve it. We will work on identifying unhelpful coping strategies and replace these with healthy ones so we can work on developing the life that you want.

Whether you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, want to explore your relationships or are struggling to make sense of the world, there is a safe space for you here. My work in counselling has provided me with experience in many different areas, such as grief, anxiety, addiction, sexuality, relationships and low self-esteem. It has become apparent to me that no matter what someone is going through, the main things we want are to feel heard, seen and understood. I have worked with a variety of clients, to aid self-exploration to identify triggers, difficulties and work toward self-acceptance.

I know how hard it can be to reach out - to find the right words, to feel worthy of help, to even know where to begin. I have been in that same seat and taking the first step is incredibly brave. My approach is warm, intuitive, and calmly paced. I offer a space where nothing is too much, and nothing needs to be hidden. Together we can explore what's felt heavy, what's been buried and what might be ready to move. I am a qualified psychotherapist offering gentle, grounded support for adults navigating neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, trauma, and the often unspoken complexities of life.

You’re running on empty.. again. You’ve been trying to keep your head above water, trying to keep it all together, but behind the scenes, you’re exhausted. One minute you’re hyper focused and smashing through tasks, the next you can’t even face leaving the house. Your mind never switches off, and the guilt of “not doing enough” just keeps piling on. Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression can feel like you’re constantly chasing balance but never quite finding it. You’re tired of just existing, you just want a life you can be content with.

I offer therapeutic counselling to children, young people and adults. I have worked with children and young people within education for just over 20 years. I also educated myself further in Forest School and taught outdoors. Throughout this time is where I learned a great deal about the benefits of nature and the natural effects it has on health and well-being. I trained as a person centred therapist because I am passionate about empowering people to learn more about themselves and strive for positive change. I also experienced my own difficulties and trauma during childhood

Hello, my name is Maggie, I’m a qualified counsellor, and based in Derbyshire. I specialise in working with children and adolescents, also working with adults, experiencing concerns, such as depression, anxiety, bereavement and stress. I provide a safe and confidential place for you to discuss worries and concerns and find a way to move forward. Whilst working with children/adolescents, I like to work with family, incorporating this in the sessions, by one or both parents attending some of the counselling sessions, if this is appropriate. I believe working all together can and does improve the building of a healthy relationship.

We dream of success, money, holidays, happy families and good health, but life doesn't always go to plan. When we are hit with the unexpected, a loss, a relationship that goes wrong, unbearable work pressures, troubled by unresolved experiences of the past or hopelessness about the future, our mental health is affected. We can feel sad, overwhelmed, fearful. We lose confidence and self-esteem. Our physical health suffers too and we can become dependent on medication, alcohol or other non-prescribed solutions. Counselling is a way out, providing support in a confidential, non-judgmental, understanding and empathetic relationship.

Relationships are beautiful, messy, and deeply human. I’ve seen how silence can grow between two people who once couldn’t stop talking, and how resentment can sneak in where laughter used to thrive. I’ve also seen how healing happens—slowly, bravely, and sometimes with tears and breakthroughs in the same breath.
What I help with:
Feeling disconnected or misunderstood
Constant arguments or silent tension
Rebuilding after betrayal or infidelity
Navigating major life changes together
Exploring intimacy and sexual connection
Preparing for marriage or long-term commitment

Are you struggling with a loss or bereavement? These can be the most painful and devastating experiences to go through. Perhaps you feel on your own, drowning in an emotional whirlpool of sadness, guilt, anger, confusion and other painful feelings. Enduring that whilst having to continue daily life can be exhausting, you might feel disconnected from everyone and everything sometimes. You might feel really isolated, anxious and hopeless and wondering how long you’re going to feel like this? The need to keep all this to yourself, perhaps hiding how you’re feeling from everyone else can keep you stuck in an endless cycle of sadness

If you want to change your situation on the outside, it’s good to start by looking at what you can change on the inside. Perhaps you have serious difficulties finding peace and joy in your life. Your sense of well-being, physically and mentally, may be reduced or destroyed. You might find yourself sliding into unhealthy or even self-destructive behaviours. Your persistent self-doubt leads to anxiety and depression, causing relationship problems and anger issues. You have a feeling that you do not quite know who you are. Or perhaps you just know “something is not quite right in my life” but you can’t pinpoint what it is.
