As a Body Psychotherapist, I support people who're feeling lost or stuck in life to reconnect with their deep inner resources, enabling them to grow, change and find new solutions to life's challenges. I tend to do committed, long term work with people, aiming to address problems at a core, existential level - supporting a lasting transformation of Mind, Body, Heart and Soul. This includes unlocking your capacity for more aliveness, creativity, spontanaeity and the discovery of meaningful work - and the ability to enter into a mature loving relationship. My work also includes space for psychospiritual and ecological awareness.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, which means I have completed extensive training in the assessment and treatment of mental health difficulties throughout different stages of life. My approach to therapy is warm, empathic, and genuine. It is important to me to create a space that feels safe, and where my clients feel heard and understood. Some people come to see me for help with a specific issue such as anxiety, or difficulties with managing stress at work. Others meet with me to have a space where they can be free to reflect and work towards a greater sense of understanding, and in turn compassion, towards themselves.

I'm a transpersonal integrative psychotherapist, and have provided therapeutic support for clients who have experienced a range of issues including: abuse, childhood neglect, addictions, low self-esteem, self-harm, narcissistic abuse and wounding, weakened sense of self, anxiety, depression, low confidence, and trauma related issues. I feel the work that I do with my clients aligns with Carl Jung's statement "it is a privilege of a lifetime to become who you truly are." I believe that psychotherapy is a process that supports this, through self awareness and understanding one's life experiences, one can heal and transform.

Hello, my name is Jodie. I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience working within the NHS, private and charity sectors. I specialise in work with adults and young people and really work hard to ensure each of my clients is offered thoughtful and individualised care. Life can be hard and I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy at a number of points in their life, not just at the point of mental health crisis. People often come to see me at a time of change, life transition or when there is a difficult decision to be made in their lives. Alternatively, people might reach out when feeling stuck.

You look like you’re coping. But inside, something feels off. You might be overthinking everything, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, burnt out from holding too much for too long, questioning your direction, identity, or going through a period of change. Your life doesn’t follow a straight line. And you’re starting to realise the usual advice doesn’t quite fit. Rather than trying to “fix” you, we work to understand you. Together, we: make sense of your patterns; understand how your past experiences are shaping your present and build a way of living that works for you - not against you. So you can move on with clarity and choice.

I am a Chartered and Registered Counselling Psychologist who adopts a pluralistic framework based on the premise that no one therapeutic approach is superior, and different clients are likely to benefit from different therapeutic methods at different points in time. The pluralistic position puts the client and their needs at the centre of therapy and is based on working collaboratively. I honestly believe that people are experts of themselves but with help from trained professionals they can have a better understanding of themselves and the reason(s) for their behaviours.

I have particular experience supporting those who have experienced interpersonal adversity and trauma, including abuse, neglect and multiple, cumulative, and complex traumas, as well as those who experience psychosis, dissociation, derealisation, and depersonalisation. My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive perspective that recognises how social, cultural, and structural forces shape experience and access to care. Many of the people I work with are from neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities.

I have worked in therapy services for over 20 years. During this time I have worked with a range of difficulties including: depression, anxiety, challenges with confidence and self-esteem, eating difficulties, trauma, relationship problems, and challenges with identity. I take an explicitly compassionate approach. I believe we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge and resources available to us and if it were easy, we would all already be doing better. I also believe that therapy helps us to develop new understandings and build our internal resources so that we can make different choices and live more fulfilling lives.
