Hello, my name is Liz. I am a contractual trainee in Advanced TA training at the Berne Institute, and I use the concepts of Transactional Analysis (or TA) within my practice. TA provides a framework through which we can develop an understanding of ourselves and how we have become the person we are today. It helps us to understand our relationship with ourselves (our internal world), and also our relationships with others, and our sense of our place in the world.We all have a script – a life plan made in early childhood that served us well at a time when we had very little power or control.

Hello my name is Sonya, I am a CBT therapist (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). Sometimes in life we all get to a point where we just need to reach out. I can offer you time to listen effectively in a comfortable, safe, and confidential environment. Working with CBT enables you to talk about your feelings and emotions in situations as they may affect our behaviours and by recognising this we can adapt some change. Being able to express your feelings or presenting issue may be difficult especially to loved ones, family and friends. Reach Out will empower you to contribute to your well-being, sense of belonging, and self worth in Therapy.

Hi, my name is Claire, I am passionate about helping people to find ‘themselves again’ Midlife transitioning can be uncomfortable. Between the ages of 40-60 we can begin to question who WE are. After many years working, raising a family, inevitable loss and putting others first we can be left feeling disconnected. These feelings can sit alongside perimenopause and menopause changes. This transitioning commonly shows up as low mood, anxiety and loneliness alongside a general dissatisfaction with life. I have lived experience of binge eating and emotional eating and am passionate about helping in this area too.

Hi my name is Kerry, Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. You may be here after experiencing a big stress or trauma, you may be wanting to explore past experiences, or perhaps you just need a safe space to talk and be heard.

By providing a safe, non-judgemental and warm environment, we can explore this together so that you feel heard and understood but most importantly, that you have a better understanding of yourself and your needs, helping you work towards your goals, whatever they may be.

Hello, I´m Charlotte. I am an experienced psychotherapist with a particular interest in the way many of us still live our lives in "survival mode". My approach in the therapy room is gentle yet challenging. Our work will be determined by the changes you wish to effect in your life and the pace that feels safest to you. We may explore past experiences and the way in which you adapted to "survive" - adaptations that are still present in your day to day life, although the past is long over. This is described as a "trauma-informed" approach.

My ideal client often appears to be coping well on the outside, but inside they’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. They may struggle with people-pleasing, low self-worth, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling unheard or unfulfilled. They want to feel more in control, more connected to themselves, and more confident in how they show up in the world. They’re looking for a space to be truly seen and supported, a space to explore what’s no longer working and begin creating healthier, more fulfilling ways of being.

My Background I worked in the corporate sector for 25 years, running my own recruitment business and deriving great satisfaction from the challenge of this industry. However, over time, I noticed how people can end up feeling trapped, overburdened by mental health issues that they didn’t feel they could communicate to others. I also struggled in my own way, which is what led me to learn as much as possible about personal development – a journey that began in 1993. Since then, I have always wanted to dedicate myself to educating those experiencing the same issues and supporting them manage their well-being more effectively.

Dementia Counsellors
Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
