You might be feeling low in mood or anxious, experiencing challenges in relationships, have experienced a bereavement or other losses, worrying excessively, struggling to manage your emotions or just feeling stuck. The first step would be to explore your challenges in order to determine the best approach required; CBT, EMDR or coaching.

I believe it's possible to create a more fulfilling, connected, and joyful life, and if you want to see how I might help you with this, please do get in touch or check out my website!
They say the Body Keeps the Score... And something keeps bringing you back to the same stuck places — the same anxious patterns, the same relationship dynamics, the same pain or signals from your body that you tend to ignore. Perhaps you've tried pushing through. Maybe you've tried talking about it. And talking helps. But your body has been waiting patiently for its turn. Here, we listen to both. I'm Beth, a clinical psychologist and therapeutic yoga teacher integrating modern psychology with somatic processing. I'm here to support your journey towards real, lasting change. Together, we regulate, rewire, and reconnect with joy.

Whether you’re a performer chasing excellence, a professional levelling up in your career, a recreational exerciser trying to get consistent, someone working to get healthier, or anyone who wants to use their chosen pursuit as a vehicle for deeper self-development, I’ll help you break through what’s stopping you and engage in life in a way that brings you meaning.
Having originally trained as a sport and exercise psychologist I focus specifically on helping people build the psychological resilience to do more of what calls to them, make tangible changes to support their well-being and to understand themselves at a deep level so they can live a life of agency rather than being penned in by psychological hang-ups.

I offer a warm and thoughtful therapeutic space where you can take time to explore what’s happening in your life — whether that’s emotional difficulty, relationship struggles, or a more subtle sense that something isn’t quite right.
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person. My approach is relational and person-centred, meaning I don’t see myself as the expert on your life. Instead, we explore together — at a pace that feels right for you — in a space that’s attuned, grounded, and most importantly non-judgemental.

I am guided by the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and through counselling can explore and grow in knowledge and understanding of your own experiences and situation.
Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm a Psychodynamic Counsellor (since 2018). Psychodynamic counselling is a relationship where the things you can’t (yet!) think or say—your anxieties, defences, long-standing patterns of loving and hating—can begin to show themselves in the here-and-now, especially in how you experience your therapist. By noticing and putting words to these unconscious “inner object” relationships as they come alive between you and your therapist, you slowly integrate previously split-off parts of yourself, soften persecutory fear and guilt, and build a more stable capacity for trust, ambivalence, and care.

Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them.

I use Somatic Therapy to work with the body and the mind and help clients who have become disconnected or fearful of their bigger or more negative emotions.

Do you feel stuck, unsatisfied, restless and not sure of who your are or what your purpose is anymore? Thats where I can help. There is one thing that all my clients have in common, they arrive because they have usually tried everything else and leaving say 'I wish I'd known about hypnotherapy before' I help people move beyond their perceived block into breakthrough and beyond. Letting go of old patterns and limiting beliefs that trying harder cant shift. It's not about becoming someone new or adopting new habits, it's about shedding the layers and remembering who you are.

With over ten years of experience in supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges through various local government initiatives, Schools and Addiction Rehabilitation Centre's, I understand that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy.

I offer therapy to individuals aged 18+ in the Dunstable and Milton Keynes areas. I can help you explore any emotional difficulties you may have. Sometimes we don't know why we keep reacting to others the way we do. We just know we don't want to feel the way we feel anymore. Perhaps you seem to have everything together on the surface but underneath you feel overwhelmed, and you worry about what others might think of you if they knew the truth. You may have been trying to figure this out on your own but get frustrated because nothing seems to work. Maybe you feel that your issue is too insignificant and others have bigger problems.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
