Taking the first steps towards seeking help can be daunting. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated or confused about how to initiate change and healing. In our therapy sessions, we will work together to explore your life experiences, challenges and emotions. This may take place in varying forms depending on what works for you. I am trained as Integrative Psychotherapist and Arts Psychotherapist so can adapt my way of working for you to find exactly what you need from therapy. A session may focus on looking at your childhood or past experiences, or it may be centred in here-and-now difficulties.

Additionally to my core practice, I support women experiencing maternal or perinatal mental health issues, and those in controlling or coercive relationships, as well as neurodiverse individuals, including those on the autism spectrum; and offer therapeutic support to families raising neurodiverse children, reflecting my experience in the disability sector.
A first step toward therapy can eventually lead to profound personal growth. I'm a psychodynamic psychotherapist (MBACP), with a publishing background. I offer a warm, calm and confidential space to explore your concerns. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, loss, relationship problems, low self-esteem, self-sabotage, attachment issues or a sense of being stuck, I offer the emotional support and understanding you need to navigate these challenges. I am LGBTQIA+ sympathetic and work relationally with adults of all ages (including young adults and people in later life) from diverse cultural, social, and ethnic backgrounds.

I'm Alison, and I’m an integrative psychotherapist. I believe that each person has an inherent capacity to heal and grow, and that therapy can offer a supportive and collaborative space to facilitate that process. I work alongside you to find an approach that best meets your needs — this might involve a structured, solution-focused framework or a more reflective exploration of past experiences and how they influence your present. My practice is LGBTQ+, Neurodivergence-affirming, and trauma-informed. I’m also informed and inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), neuroscience, and somatic practices, which deepen my understanding

Life is difficult. Do more, be more. Be what others want. I offer a space where we examine where you are in life, what's brought you here, what it's like being you and you in relation to others, and how you're contributing to where you're at. How will we do this? Through our relationship, where I'll offer support, care, empathy and challenge to help you examine life.

My practice is non-pathologising, trauma informed, collaborative and creative. I consciously create a containing and non-judgemental space for the people I work with, building trust over time. I believe that safety in the therapeutic relationship is paramount in allowing someone to begin unravelling, processing and embracing all parts of themselves. There is limited space in our world where others can sit alongside us in a meaningful way, so I aim to do this for my clients. I commit to being alongside in the discomfort, complexity and messiness of existence while marking moments of connection and sparks of joy.

Many of my clients are the ones others turn to - driven, reliable, capable, and holding themselves to high standards. But beneath that, they feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure how to feel enough. Maybe you tie your worth to being useful or productive, or you're wondering if your anxiety and burnout are linked to childhood patterns or undiagnosed ADHD. You might face impostor syndrome at work or feel stuck in relationship patterns where you give more than you get. You grew up fast, learned to over-function, and struggle with boundaries. You want to feel seen, grounded, validated, and live from self-worth, not self-doubt.

Art Therapy is suitable for all ages and every stage of life, including people whose lives have been affected by difficult life experiences, systemic inequality and oppression, neurodiversity, illness and/or disability. Being skilled in art or in a craft is not necessary to benefit. Instead, there is a need to be open to the possibilities of the process involved. Like with any therapy, the process can be challenging as uncomfortable feelings and painful memories may emerge. At the heart of the space that we would share is a robust and meaningful relationship which is reliable, affirmative and reflective.

Hi, I'm Rachel. I am a psychosexual and relationship therapist. I work with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, although most often I work with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD), whether that means someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, queer (or a combination!). I work with people on a wide variety of issues: I see couples who want to work on improving communication in their relationship; I see individuals who are struggling to identify what they want sexually; I see people who want a space to process their feelings more generally.

Queer Sex and Relationship Therapy. Many of my clients are couples who approach me with issues which include Ethical/Consensual Non-Monogamy (ENM/CNM) and Polyamory. They might be at the beginning stages, curious about exploring ENM, or they might have already experienced some of the painful and difficult areas which opening up a relationship can sometimes bring. I often help clients rediscover their Mind-Body Connection, which can be impacted by Attachment Difficulties and childhood trauma. Sex Worker Allied.

I believe the therapeutic journey is something that we create together. There is not a "one size that fits all" or one method that works for every person. It is important that the therapy is tailored and beneficial to you as an individual. It can be really challenging to even reach out or look for support, I offer a free consultation call with all enquiries, please feel free to drop me an email to organise yours.
