Do you find yourself struggling lately? More so than usual and not sure about counselling?

Whatever it may be that you are going through I can assure you that it is possible, with a qualified counsellor, to get back on track and live a life worth living.

I'm experienced as an Integrative counsellor and offer a safe and confidential space where together, we can explore the difficulties you're experiencing in a supportive non-judgemental way. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions or any other issues, it might be challenging to look for help but if you are reading this, you have made the first step. I offer a free consultation so we can get to know each other and decide if we are the best match to work together. You'll learn a lot about yourself in therapy - how you got here, how to take care of yourself and making positive changes .

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the HCPC as well as a registered psychotherapist and counsellor with the BACP. I have many years of experience of therapeutic work in different settings such as NHS primary care, and community-based charities. I am committed to working together at your own pace, providing a warm and safe environment to understand what is bothering you or causing you distress. I believe that all of us have the capacity to grow and thrive, but sometimes we might feel a bit ‘stuck’, struggling to find meaning and purpose, and we might need a little help to reconnect with who we really are.
Aretha Moore
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
I am an integrative therapist that qualified in 2008. I’ve worked with a range of clients with diverse presenting issues. I also have 14 years experience of working with adults presenting with historic, childhood sexual abuse. I have a passion to help those who feel defeated, but haven't quite learnt the tools to overcome. Finding the right counsellor can seem a bit overwhelming. This is why the counselling relationship is very important to me and is key in helping to achieve your goals. I initially use the Person Centred approach to create a safe, non-judgemental, contained, therapeutic space for you and will work at your pace.
Conrad Cave, Counselling Service.
Psychotherapist, DCounsPsych, MBACP

I find the Person-Centred Approach fits my own philosophy as it has at its very core, an unshakable belief that all people are good. Person-Centred counselling believes that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions. The underpinning principles of the Person- Centred Approach are focused on the counsellor being honest, non-judgmental and fully accepting whilst being fully integrated in the relationship allowing the client to lead and set the pace. I aim to offer these conditions as best as I can during our relationship.

When thinking about therapy, it might be difficult to know where to start or what to expect. From my experience, the best way is to have a face-to-face initial consultation. This will allow you to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable in sharing your feelings and thoughts with me. There is no obligation to continue after the first meeting. Usually, I allow 3-4 sessions before deciding on working together. If we both agree that therapy can be beneficial then we will have our agreement, including a regular weekly time slot and a fee.

Hi, I’m Laura and I am a COSRT registered sex and relationship therapist. Sex and relationship therapy is a talking therapy that can help to resolve issues that are affecting your relationships, sex life, or both. My role as a therapist can take a few different forms. It may look like sex education, talking therapy or guidance with exercises to do in between sessions. Often it will involve all of these elements.

Life can throw us off course, from time to time we can all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, frightened or alone. Counselling gives the opportunity to talk through feelings, thoughts and worries in a safe, non-judgmental space. It is not always easy to talk to our family and friends, the therapeutic relationship offers a confidential and consistent space to share and work through the problems we can find difficult to bring up with others.
Jane Eldridge
Psychotherapist, PhD, MUKCP
Verified
Sometimes people come to counselling or therapy with a particular symptom, after a significant life event or with work-related difficulties. Other times it's more about not quite feeling fulfilled in life, career or relationships. I believe the many ways we come to understand and make sense of who we are, including how we relate to others and the world around us, are central to our mental health and physical wellbeing. Unforseen life events, separations, losses and disappointments can all profoundly affect our sense of who we are.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Is life seeming like too much to cope with? Do you feel confused, find it difficult to know what you want or difficult to express your needs? Are your relationships troubling you rather than bringing you joy and satisfaction? Do you suffer from unexplained aches and pains or sometimes find it difficult to breathe? Do you sometimes wonder how you ended up in the life you're leading? Is this all there is? Does your own body seem alien to you? Uncomfortable? Do you find it hard to appreciate your body or do beneficial things like eating well or getting exercise. Body psychotherapy can help.
