I am a psychologist and counsellor who has spent a very rewarding 15 years building my practice in the beautiful city of Milton Keynes, helping men and women, teenagers and children, couples and families. I deal with a wide variety of issues and situations including couples therapy, relationship counselling, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, stress management, confidence building, teenage and child behaviours, and bullying in the workplace.

I believe everyone should have access to high quality counselling at exactly the time they need it, without having to wait. I am a qualified counsellor with many years experience working with a wide range of issues and with people who come from a variety of backgrounds. This experience includes bereavement, domestic violence, low self-esteem, substance misuse, relationship difficulties, addictions, self-harm, trauma, abuse, social and family interactions, carer support, misophonia, divorce and separation, anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist practising in Milton Keynes for 17 years. I trained in Oxford and London and am qualified to see clients for intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy work in the short ( upto 6 sessions) and long term (for months/years). My professional practice is based on a classical psychological understanding of the causes of anxiety, depression and phobia and the effects of absence and loss.

I can help you in so many ways to feel calmer, happier, and even how to become your own therapist. Mental health issues can take away so much of our enjoyment. Struggling everyday with strong emotions and often worrying, self-critical thoughts is so difficult, especially when you are trying to cope alone. But you don’t have to continue to suffer at the mercy of your mind.

I believe the relationship between client and counsellor is one of most important aspects of Counselling. I offer a non judgemental, safe & supportive which allows us to jointly explore what might be bothering you.

Relational issues are a specialty so whether you are struggling with relationships with colleagues, family or partners, we can work through that together. I also have a lot of experience supporting clients to develop their self-esteem and confidence, or to tackle anxiety and low mood. I trained in the person-centred approach and my values remain rooted in that tradition but my practice has evolved to include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and more.

The counselling service I offer is warm, genuine and understanding. It is based on the belief that we are all individuals who deserve to be accepted for who we are and are able to make our own decisions about what is best for us. Counselling with me will allow you the time and space to explore your feelings and experiences however difficult these may be. It is a rare experience in which you are listened to and accepted without judgement or advice. This will help you to find a better sense of well-being and a way to move on from whatever is troubling you so you can lead a more fulfilling life.

Hi I'm Chloe and I'm pleased to introduce myself to you. After qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor in 2013 I have worked in charities supporting survivors of sexual abuse, I have worked with local authorities supporting families and in schools supporting parents and children with a range of issues including relationship difficulties and behaviour problems. I have a keen interest in working with individuals around relationships struggles.

I am an integrative counsellor based in Milton Keynes. I work with couples and individuals. I volunteered with Rape Crisis for 4 years, therefore i have experience of working with trauma, ptsd, depression and anxiety. I offer walk and talk therapy. For further information please do contact me for an initial chat.

Working therapeutically with children and their families and adults. Providing assessment including ASD assessments and cognitive assessments and therapy for a range of difficulties. Also included in the services provided is training to schools and professionals around attachment and trauma.

I offer assessment and treatment of children and adults for the purposes of understanding difficulties and developing a treatment plan. I work with a range of difficulties including, challenging behaviour, depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, bipolar disorder, trauma, emotional regulation and self-esteem.

There are many reasons people come to counselling, for example bereavement, relationship breakdown, issues at work, past or recent traumatic events, difficulties around disordered eating or complexities associated with gender dysphoria. Whatever it is that has led you to consider counselling, I know you have a unique story to tell. Are you are struggling with low self-worth, stress or anger? Or maybe you are worried, confused, scared, misunderstood, feeling lost or experiencing other unwanted feelings? Life can be very busy, demanding and draining. Counselling is an opportunity to slow down and look inside. What do you want?

We can all experience situations and emotions which leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unable to cope. Talking through what’s happening for you with someone supportive can help. I am an experienced counsellor based near Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. I am warm, approachable and kind. I believe everyone deserves to be valued and not judged. As a nurse and midwife I learnt the value of help from someone skilled.

The therapy I offer can be accessed either face to face or remotely. At times everyday life can become overwhelming and we can feel stuck, low and anxious. Reaching out for support at this time can feel like a big step but can be extremely beneficial for our health and well-being. You may be experiencing challenges in the present or holding on to issues from the past that feel like they are preventing you moving forward.

Life can be full of challenges and sometimes we need help to make sense of what is going on. Maybe there are issues in your life right now that are making life difficult, or perhaps your past experiences are having an impact on you, stopping you from being where you want to be, or from being the person you deserve to be.

Deciding to have therapy can be a big step so it is understandable that you may feel nervous or apprehensive. In my practice, my aim is to provide a safe place where we can explore whatever you struggle with at your own pace. I also believe that a trusting relationship, built upon authenticity and free from preconceptions and judgment, is an essential ingredient in any work we do together.

Are you finding it hard to understand why it hurts so much when you lose somebody but wonder, how is it possible that you have spent most of your life learning to solve complicated maths problems and balance complex chemical equations. Have you been asking yourself where is the source of your thoughts, which constantly flood your mind, making you feel anxious and depressed? Have you tried to make others happy and fulfil your dreams, so far without a success? Do you often find yourself stuck and feeling hopeless or angry with yourself and others? If any from the above resonates with you, then you have come to the right place.

If you have suffered a bereavement or are a survivor of sexual abuse, then it might not be easy to talk about your thoughts and feeling with friends or family. Talking to someone that you can trust to be non-judgemental and who values you as a person, will help you to feel heard and safe. I can help you to have a better understanding of what you are feeling.

Is there something in your life that is causing you distress, things that you are unhappy with or changes that you would like to make? Ever feel that you are overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, unsure which path to take? Would you like a space in which you can off load, process and decide which way might be best for you? We can all feel lost from time to time, it is okay to be you, and it is ok to need some support. Your feelings are valid and your thoughts are important. If you feel ready to take the first step, reach out and together we can decide how best to move forward. I offer long term work or short term work.

I set up Flourishing MK to provide accessible and affordable counselling to support clients with a range of long-term, chronic health conditions, in particular chronic pain. Through first hand experience working with clients I have witnessed how chronic pain and other long-term health conditions can lead to social isolation, contribute to mental health issues and distress. Lead to the development of unhelpful coping strategies, maybe drinking excess alcohol, using drugs, overspending, over-eating, under-eating. Contribute to relationship difficulties, body image issues, difficulties in maintaining work and other life commitments.
