“You do not need magic to transform your life. You carry the power you need inside yourself already.” My name is Karen. I am a wife, mother, and daughter. I have experienced the highs and lows of life; giving me a profound insight into how therapy can reinforce a positive mindset and change lives.

Hello. I am a qualified EMDR & BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. CBT helps us to understand the relationships between our feelings, thoughts, behaviours and environment, and the ways in which these can become problematic. With an understanding of how mental health difficulties develop and are maintained I use an evidence-based (NICE guidelines) and goal-orientated approach to help support change. The emphasis is on finding solutions that work for the individual, so that you can improve emotional health & become your own therapist by applying new skills and techniques to old patterns of thinking and behaving.

I work with a wide range of issues. My role as a psychotherapist is to listen to you with sensitivity and empathy and without judgement or rushing you. In this way, we can both try to make sense of what has happened up to this point in time. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or heartbroken because of it. These are natural emotional responses to what has gone on - however if this has been going for a while, or you don't have someone to talk to, I could be able to help.

Hi, I am Laura Simms, a friendly, non-judgemental and compassionate CBT therapist. I use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to empower individuals to take control over their lives and become their own therapist through practical tools, new skills and rediscovering their inner resilience. This involves gaining knowledge about what is happening in our minds and bodies to produce very normal mental health symptoms, understanding how and why we have been impacted by our experiences (because we are human beings - not robots), and working collaboratively to take action towards the life you want to lead.

I work for the NHS in a service supporting people with developmental trauma and personality difficulties that affect their lives. My expertise is with people who have experienced trauma (long-term or short-term). Events like this can lead to a range of mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, panic and psychosis and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use, relationship struggles, and so on. I aim to help you understand where issues are stemming from, so we can work on developing a healthier life for you. I also work with risk related behaviours - contact for more info.

Loss can be a lonely journey. You may feel like life has lost it's meaning and you can't see a way forward out of this pain. COVID may have impacted how you came to terms with your grief. Alternatively, maybe your loss was from a long time ago and you now recognise that you never fully learnt to live with the pain. I also offer Walk and Talk Therapy in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire to those of us who like to move whilst we talk and reflect. Connecting with nature can encourage positive feelings of calmness, joy and creativity. Together, we can explore your experience of mourning and very gently, learn to move forward in your life.

If you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, overworked or confused or if you are experiencing specific difficulties and would benefit from help and support, please get in touch. Perhaps you are faced with an impossible decision? Asking for help can be the hardest step to take in a fast-paced world where you are just expected to cope and to 'get on with it.' Whether you want to make changes in your life, reach milestone decisions, set new goals or simply find a space to be heard and explore your feelings and thoughts without judgement, expectation or agenda then I can offer you just what you need.

What's the closest crocodile to your canoe? In other words, what's worrying you? Is there something feeling overwhelming that keeps you from going where you want to on your journey through life? That's your crocodile. Thankfully though, a canoe is a 2-person boat. At Canoe Counselling, I join you as a guide and help, to go at your pace, in the direction you want, for as long as we choose. Person-Centred therapy holds the idea of relationship at the very centre of the work we do together - I may offer suggestions and guidance, and will support you to the best of my ability, but ultimately you are the one who gets us there!

I understand that life can be overwhelming, but I’m here to guide you through those obstacles. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply through your journey with me, and get you back on track. My sessions are designed to unravel painful issues and provide you with effective tools to be able to heal. Taking action creates a sense of liberation and a feeling of letting go of the despair associated with insignificance and meaningless. It creates a feeling of growth and promotes the embracing of life and to exist with wonder and curiosity. I've been honoured to be endorsed by Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland and Source.
