You might find yourself here because you are dealing with an issue that feels overwhelming or you might want to take some time and space to talk about something that has been bothering you for a while. Counselling offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore things. Counselling works, not by fixing people, but by supporting you through your own truths and aiding you to trust and understand yourself. It is an entirely safe space where you can truly be listened to and understood without any judgement by someone not involved in your every day life.
Mark Owen
Counsellor, MA, MBACP
Verified
My name is Mark Owen and I am a BACP and COSRT registered Counsellor with a degree in Marriage and Family therapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy. Since 2012 I have worked in a wide variety of therapeutic settings both private care and within the NHS including, general mental health services, Eating Disorders Clinic, Bereavement Counselling and a Sexual Health Clinic. There are many models of therapy and everyone responds differently to the various methods. Using an Integrative Model of therapy, which means I use a range of different models, allows me to design a more tailor made plan for you.

Choosing a therapist can be a tricky task, there are just so many! As a guide, a big factor for therapeutic success is 'connection' - also known as 'the therapeutic alliance'. There is little you can see from a profile but perhaps take a moment to pause and check inwardly whether there is potential for a good therapeutic relationship. This practice is known as 'focusing'. I frequently use this method to help my clients access edge of awareness experiences that often were part of their life for many years. If you'd like to explore parts of yourself that you find burdening or at least unhelpful my approach may be of help.

Are you experiencing bullying? Do you find yourself reacting in an unhelpful way? Perhaps you are asking yourself, What do I want and why? What is important to me; what do I need? Who do I wish to become? We can look at a structured treatment that you can continue to use beyond the short time we spend together. I can show you how to develop skills for living and you can move towards a more rewarding experience of life.

Experiencing and struggling with unhelpful behaviour patterns or processing prolonged feelings of loss, uncertainty, anxiety, stress, disconnection, frustration, anger, sadness or loneliness can have a significant impact on all aspects of our lives. We all need support at different times in life, seeking professional help at these times can be very rewarding in moving your life in the direction you want. I have a pluralistic philosophy to therapy, which is a number of different therapeutic models can be explored, finding what best suits you session by session.
Therapy with Sasha
Counsellor, BACP
Verified
I like to describe the process of therapy to clients as the unpacking and re-packing of a messy suitcase. There may be things in there that have been actively avoided and possibly some things that have been forgotten about altogether. Through gentle and curious exploration, the suitcase is opened; things are taken out and safely examined. Coming face to face with that which has caused pain can be frightening but it needn't be done alone. The re-packing of the suitcase allows for the healing and acceptance of that which has been pushed away from the mind but is still stored in the body. Things will start to feel lighter and clearer.

Counsellor, MBACP

I wonder what you’re looking for in a counsellor? I imagine it might be someone who will really listen to you, who is caring and compassionate and will help you to find the way forward that is right for you. I aim to offer this to my clients. My own experience of therapy has helped me to feel better equipped to cope with life’s challenges. I would like to share this understanding with you and am empathic and thoughtful in my approach. My own life experiences have given me a powerful insight and understanding into the need for greater self compassion and care during times of struggle.

Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or experiencing any other feeling that precludes you from enjoying your life and reaching your potential, therapy will offer you a safe space where you can reconnect with yourself. As a person-centred counsellor I believe that when offered a non-judgemental, welcoming space and warmth, you can find your own solutions and paths that would lead you to growth and resilience.
Rose Wild
Psychotherapist, MSc, HCPC-Art Therap.
Verified
I know how overwhelming it can feel trying to find a therapist who is right for you. Its sometimes hard to get a feel for what kind of person a therapist really is beyond their qualifications and training... which is kind of important if you are going to be vulnerable with them! Let me show you a little of who I am so you can see if we are a good match. My name is Rose. Before I began facilitating healing for others, I spent years dedicated to my own healing. I experienced severe & complex trauma as a child and teenager that resulted in various forms of dis-ease in my adult life.

Donna Sullivan
Counsellor, MA, MBACP Accred

I'm really interested in people - who we are and why we become who we are. In order to understand ourselves it can help to talk about ourselves, our experiences and feelings. I can offer a safe, secure and non judgmental space where you can do this. Together we can work out why you have reached a point in your life that may be causing you problems, or why you may be feeling stuck. I work with people who are overwhelmed by their circumstances or feel anxious and depressed and find it difficult to move forward. Counselling can give you an opportunity to examine how you can change and improve your circumstances.
Adam Rothwell
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
As a person-centred counsellor, I will be led by your needs and we will work to create an understanding of what you are feeling and thinking. Concerns and issues often occur because we lose touch with the person we truly are due to circumstances or the expectations of others. Our needs, hopes and dreams can fall by the wayside for reasons individual to the person. Our sessions will allow you time to discover or rediscover who you truly are as a person and what you want or need to feel whole. There are times I may suggest we look at something specifically or try an exercise, drawing on my experience in coaching.
