Do your feelings overwhelm you? Is it hard to stay in control? Are you unkind to yourself? I understand how hard it is to ask for help. Untangling a lifetime of feelings and thoughts can be daunting, but with the right support you can identify those limiting patterns and change the beliefs, feelings, and responses holding you back from the life you want and the person you want to be. Choice comes from understanding yourself, then making the right changes. I understand how hard it can be to do that on your own. I will be with you on that journey, supporting and empowering you to move from self-awareness to real, lasting change

You might look like you're coping, but deep down you feel overwhelmed and sad. Anxiety and stress may be causing sleepless nights. Perhaps you spend much of your time trying to meet the needs of others, hiding how you really feel or masking parts of yourself to fit in. It can be helpful at times, but also exhausting. Relationships can suffer when each of you feels unseen, disconnected or lonely. As an experienced couples and individual therapist, I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what's happening in your life. Our work together allows you to feel heard and accepted, not judged.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to explore how we make sense of the sometimes contrasting ways we see the world. It offers a space to explore the ways we experience and are making sense of our past and present. To do this we want to cultivate a collaborative space where we befriend the habits that separate us from ourself and others. Often our habits are so habitual we don’t realise we are doing them. They have become almost unconscious in what we do. They are embodied in how we do life… they have become somatised.

Hi there, my names Dr Dane Duncan, I am an animal lover, Northerner, book-worm, rock climber... and Clinical Psychologist! I it can be hard finding a therapist who you can click with. My work follows a Narrative Therapy approach, drawing elements of Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful. I am also trained in 3 Trauma therapies (EMDR, NET & Tree of Life). For Relationships I blend System Theory with EFT/NVC/The Gottmans Approach with a twist of Queer Theory. There’s no single map for being human, I take a ‘many paths up the mountain’ approach, adapting the route to suit you.

Are you fed up with feeling like something in your life isn’t working? Are your days filled by constant stress and never ending to-do lists? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? And when you try to fall asleep at night… Do you replay everything you could have done differently? Do you think about all the things you HAVE to do tomorrow? Do you question whether all you’re doing is even enough? When things aren’t working… You feel powerless and out of control You feel stuck and frustrated. You feel overwhelmed and burned out.

Are you navigating a period where life no longer feels familiar, after loss, separation, relocation, illness, or a major life transition? Perhaps you’ve been holding everything together for a long time, yet quietly feel unmoored, uncertain, or unlike yourself. You don’t have to face this period of change alone. I work with adults facing significant change who want a calm, thoughtful space to make sense of what has shifted. Many of the people I support are capable, reflective individuals who find themselves at an unexpected crossroads — grieving not only what has been lost, but questioning who they are now and how to move forward.

I’m Matt, I’m a qualified therapist and counsellor. I’m a real human and will bring my warmth, humour, care, honesty and acceptance to our sessions. I am specialised in the person-centred approach, which puts our relationship at the centre of therapy. We will work together to understand you, to help you process and to help you feel better within yourself. Who you choose as your therapist is a really personal choice. Probably the most important aspect of therapy is a good relationship between the therapist and the client. Really it’s about who you like, who you connect with and crucially who you feel that you can trust.

Loneliness isn't always about being alone. Sometimes it's having people in your life but not feeling connected to them. Sometimes it's feeling that nobody really understands what your experience is like. Sometimes it's not having many people to turn to at all. Over time, loneliness can become more than a feeling. It can become a way of moving through the world. You stop expecting to be understood. You carry things by yourself. You begin to wonder whether connection is something other people seem to find more easily.

Navigating a world built for neurotypical minds can be relentless. If you're neurodivergent (or wondering whether you might be), you may have spent years adapting, masking, and pushing through, often without support that truly fits. I'm a neurodivergent therapist who specialises in working with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. I don't offer formulaic approaches. Instead, we work collaboratively to find what actually helps you, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to how you think, feel, and process the world. I also work with a wide range of other difficulties, always meeting you as you are.

Sometimes life feels harder than it should. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or simply not quite like they used to. Many people come to me when overthinking is taking over, routines feel hard to maintain, life pressures are building up, or they’re navigating change, caregiving, pain, or uncertainty. Some people are looking for something more practical or accessible than traditional therapy, while others want support alongside it. Together, we focus on making things feel lighter, clearer, healthier, and more manageable — in ways that fit real life.

I am here to support your healing process. Looking for a therapist is a courageous first step. I have found that common themes clients bring to therapy include: Feelings of shame and a lack of worthiness; being very self-critical; Feeling rejected, hurt, and alone; Stuck in relationships that are not fulfilling; Feeling that your life lacks purpose; Traumatic experiences that feel like they define you. Do any of these sound familiar? Would it help to have a space to work through these issues, to let go, and to feel greater freedom in your life? If any of these issues resonate with you then we can work together to make a difference.

Life can be incredibly heavy, and sometimes the ways we’ve learned to cope just aren't enough anymore. Whether you are navigating the suffocating fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complex layers of identity and trauma, I am here to hold space for you. Our journey begins by gently identifying the specific hurdles you are facing. Then, we will create a personalised treatment plan—one designed specifically to help you reclaim your life and feel like "you" again. I believe therapy should be more than just talk; it should lead to tangible change. Many of my clients notice a significant lifting of their symptom.
