Are you struggling to come to terms with a new health condition, or having a hard time managing a long-term health condition, or need support with making lifestyle changes such as weight, diet, eating habits, poor sleep, & exercise? Making changes is hard and can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression and hopelessness. I am a Senior Health Psychologist (part-time) in the NHS and work with patients living with diabetes and other chronic illnesses. I work with health professionals experiencing difficult issues at work or in their home life due to Long Covid. I can help you live the life you want and provide the support you need.

Hello. There might be several reasons why you are looking to start therapy:
Maybe you feel stuck and don’t know how to overcome a difficult situation.
Or why the same things seem to be happening to you.
You might be wondering 'what is wrong with me?'.
Maybe you feel very sad and like you’re carrying heavy baggage.
Stress might be a bit too much and you wish you could stop the race inside you.
Maybe you just want to feel better.
Maybe you are not sure, but you feel that all is not ok.
And maybe all the above at the same time.

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.

My priority is to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to just ‘be’ without any expectation, so you can explore any issues or struggles that are impacting your life. You may know what these struggles are, or you may not have the words or an understanding of what is going on for you. And that is okay. You may come to therapy with a set idea of what you want to explore, or you may come to therapy with just a hunch that something isn’t right. Therapy isn’t linear but I’ll be transparent in our work together and guide you in what can be difficult but ultimately enlightening work.

Sometimes life experiences can become overwhelming and feel too much to cope with. This can lead to us to feeling worthless, vulnerable and isolated. Sometimes we need somebody who will listen to us without judgement to help us work through things to lead to a better understanding of ourselves and our experiences and sometimes just hold our hand whilst we sit in that darkness.

Having several years' experience working with adults, children and young people, I can offer support to a wide age range from 13+. Reaching out for support can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. It’s very important to me to try and make this as simple and accessible as possible. I qualified as a counsellor in 2019 and have worked within mental health for over 5 years, in the charity and voluntary sector. Removing barriers to counselling support is very close to my heart and I pride myself on being a down to earth practitioner.

Hello, I'm Amy. I recognise that life can sometimes be complex, confusing, and difficult. Our anxieties and worries can feel overwhelming, and have a real impact on our day to day experience, our relationships with others, and the way we see ourselves. I'm here to listen to you, warmly and without judgement, and to help you to develop an understanding of you are. Together we can explore ways in which we can make changes in order to relieve discomfort, make sense of how your history may have impacted you, and free you of any processes that don't serve you well. We will work on putting yourself at the centre of your narrative.

Self-criticism can feel like it’s on a painful, repeating loop. You might find you are telling yourself that you are not good enough, or boring, ugly or fat. Far from motivating you, it’s my belief that punishing yourself in this way actually limits your choices and actions and keeps you stuck. Quite simply, talking to yourself in a mean way doesn’t get you anywhere. Talking to another person, and opening up about this habit can really help.

I work with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with distress, using an integrative approach. If you are struggling with something in your life, whether it be work, relationships, sense of self or a combination of lots of different things, then please do get in touch.

This includes, people experiencing difficulties with mood (low mood or ups and downs), anxiety/worry, compulsive thoughts and stress. I am also interested in working with new mum's (and dad's!).

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.

I have a proven track record of helping people reduce distress, understand themselves better, and navigate life more effectively.

So many of us feel the need to wear a mask day to day, unable to express our true feelings or show who we really are. I understand how difficult it can be to make the first step in asking for support, with this in mind I can provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment in which you can be fully open and honest.
