If you have low self-esteem we might use person-centred.
Being worried and anxious can effect our whole lives. It may mean that we start to complete rituals to combat this anxiousness or it may mean that we avoid things (e.g. going to school) and stop doing things we previously enjoyed (e.g. social activities like clubs or hobbies). Similarly, if we feel low it might be difficult to get out of bed or be active. We might feel different to others, like we don’t fit in or we are not good enough. We may also be experiencing urges to self-harm or be having suicidal thoughts. Together, we can explore these thoughts and outline a plan to help you to feel better.

When grief, family conflict, or life’s pace leaves you fragmented, I provide a warm, compassionate, and deeply relational space to help you move beyond just 'getting by.' I believe you are the expert on your own life; I am here to provide thoughtful challenge and support as you share your stories in the way you see fit. I’m a deeply present observer fascinated by the threads that connect us. I’m captivated by how we think, feel, and find our way to one another. To me, therapy is about creating a space where you don’t have to edit yourself—an honest therapeutic relationship where we work to make sense of your experience together.

Do thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “I can’t do this” follow you wherever you go? Are painful past experiences or constant worries about things going wrong keeping you awake at night? If so, you're not alone. I help people understand what may be keeping these difficulties going and equip them with evidence-based skills and strategies to break free from unhelpful patterns. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but it also offers an opportunity for growth and change. Together, we'll work towards letting go of what no longer serves you, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Hi I'm Paula, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Looking for a counsellor can be a daunting experience and finding the right counsellor for you is a very important decision.

We often want practical tools and knowledge to help make changes or face life's ups and downs. I aim to help you learn about yourself, process how you feel, cope better and find new ways to move forward.

Face to face sessions for adults and young people aged 11 +, located close to Buckingham, in a peaceful countryside setting. Where appropriate, I encourage my clients to take some of their counselling outdoors. This allows you, if you wish, to engage with the healing from nature to complement your therapy and is proving to be very effective. Many of my clients find beneficial outcomes are often achieved in 6 to 10 sessions.

Many of the people I work with appear to be functioning well externally while internally experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, overwhelm, or a growing sense that things no longer feel sustainable. Often, they are managing responsibility, work, relationships, and the ongoing demands of life while carrying stress that has built gradually over time. My work focuses on understanding the emotional and relational patterns that sit beneath these experiences, and supporting greater steadiness, clarity, and psychological wellbeing over the longer term.

Hi, my name is Lynsey and I would like to help support you in this difficult time. Sometimes we go through life at such a fast pace that we ignore our underlying feelings and this can sometimes cause us upset and frustration. I wonder if you are Living a life with uncomfortable feelings and not knowing how to process them which can be holding you back from a more fulfilled life, are you finding it hard to understand yourself or Maybe you have felt things are too much right now and have a lot going on in your head. We get bogged down sometimes and tend to push our emotions to one side, which can lead to unwanted behaviour.
