Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I'm an experienced counsellor working in person from Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. As an Integrative counsellor I use a number of therapeutic approaches and techniques to best meet your individual needs tailoring therapy to suit you. The main therapeutic techniques I use are Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused therapy, underpinned by a supportive therapeutic relationship, which research has shown is the most important aspect for successful therapy. I have experience working with all age groups including young people and University Students.

Hi there, thanks for checking my profile. Sometimes life events can feel overwhelming and impact us in a myriad of ways. You might be feeling stuck in a rut at work or in a personal relationship and want a space to consider the reasons for this in a safe and non-judgemental relationship. I will work with whatever you bring to therapy and together we will commit to establishing your objectives and through the medium of the therapeutic relationship I will assist you towards resolution. I have experience working with under 18s, the elderly as well as adults.Areas of expertise include life transitions such as death, divorce, retirement.

I am a Consultant Nurse currently on a career break, an accredited EMDR consultant and clinical supervisor. I specialise in working with co-morbid physical and mental health problems, although I work with people with everything from mild anxiety to complex trauma. I also have training in DBT, NLP, Hypnosis and am an accredited EFT practitioner. I believe that the mind and body are closely connected and one has to heal using the body and the mind to get the best benefit.

I offer a space where you can feel safe and free to talk about the issues that you are currently facing, knowing that what you say is confidential, and will not be judged. Are you suffering from problems that are hindering you from actively enjoying life? I work with you to find a deeper understanding of what may be causing these problems, working towards raising awareness of why you feel the way you do. This will enable you to make changes in your life and increase your sense of wellbeing.

Our therapeutic relationship is based on sensitivity, respect and an appreciation of all issues. Therapy is an opportunity for you to share personal difficulties with a trusted, professional and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor. Therapy can help you understand the source of any distress or confusion you may be experiencing and if we can understand the reasons for these uncomfortable feelings it can often bring freedom, and the opportunity to consider an alternative way of being.

I offer a flexible and collaborative approach, with deep empathy for my clients. I am an experienced Psychological Therapist and have worked in mental health services for 20 years, beginning with education support, then working in hospitals and in patient settings. I have worked in the NHS, voluntary sector and for private healthcare providers. I hold a postgraduate diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy, a Master of science in psychology and Mental health, a postgraduate diploma in mental health studies and a Master of Arts in psychology.

I am an integrative counsellor offering counselling for a wide range of issues. I have almost 2 years experience working with young people aged between 11 and 19 in a school setting. I have supported young people with anxiety of all kinds, depression, suicidal thoughts, friendship issues, self esteem and body image, bereavement, abuse, gender dysphoria and many other issues. I also counsel adults in my private practice and have worked with adults with bereavement, divorce, family issues, childhood trauma, abuse and stress. Whatever your age or issue, I am able to offer an empathetic, relaxed, non judgemental environment.

Many of us can be our own harshest critic...never feeling good enough, never feeling as if we are "enough", not wanted or unloveable...these thoughts understandably have a big impact on our wellbeing and day to day functioning. It's not just you that feels this way - many of us struggle with these thoughts and feelings at times, but particularly if we've experienced adversity or trauma, this may have become the "norm" in the way we think about ourselves. But this can change. And when we start to think about ourselves and relate differently to ourselves, the world feels like a much better place!

Often children’s emotions overwhelm them and they need a space & time to express them safely. Child Psychotherapy helps a child or young person explore & make sense of their reactions to a situation, event or internal struggle. This can be associated to worries about a range of difficulties including: family breakdown, transition, loss & bereavement, peer & sibling relationships, anxiety & depression.

My name is Dr Clark Davison and I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with experience working within the NHS and private sector at a senior level. ​

Hello, I’m Dr Sonia Pace, Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I have over 12 years experience working with adults with a range of psychological and mental health difficulties. I work collaboratively with you each step of the way creating a supportive environment that enables self-discovery and growth. Therapy involves creating a safe space to develop a greater understanding of why you might be experiencing current difficulties and then using this understanding to tailor an approach that meets your individual needs.

There are many reasons to seek counselling. Perhaps there are current circumstances in life that are confusing, overwhelming and distressing that need to be talked through and made sense of. Sometimes we can be overwhelmed by distressing feelings and have little or no idea as to why. For some there are traumatic or distressing events from the past that are difficult to forget and let go of. Others may wish to explore more broadly the meaning and direction of their life. Whatever your situation, I can offer that supportive and confidential space to explore your issues in a way that is warm, accepting and guided by your needs.

When it seems like there's nowhere for you to turn; when you feel like you are heading for "rock-bottom" ; you have hit crisis point, or you feel you have lost your direction, no matter what the reason, talking to a counsellor can help you to find your way through your struggle; a way that is right for you.

Feeling depressed or anxious? Need to make a change? Taking the first steps to get help can be daunting. This is why I always offer therapy in an emotionally supportive and empathetic manner to help you to achieve the changes that you are looking for. As a psychologist I work with the processes of change; though change is never easy, it’s always worthwhile. I’m fully trained in a diverse range of therapies. This means when we first meet for your assessment consultation, we can consider which approaches may be the best fit for you & therefore the most effective, ensuring you a unique and individualised treatment plan.

My qualifying training is as a humanistic integrative psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor. I have since undergone extensive post qualifying training, study and experience to enable me to work in a way which is Jungian Oriented. I have 35 years experience working with individuaIs, families and groups. After working in independent organisations as well as Health and Social care, I set up my own independent private therapy service and teaching centre. My hope has been to create a space where all individuals feel respected, accepted, supported and understood in order that to fully understand themselves and their place in the world.
