Clients bring a variety of presenting issues like depression, anxiety and grief. They also bring issues related to anger or passivity or trust. They often feel their lives lack meaning or they find themselves lost and need some time and space to re-orientate. Many of my clients are tipped into therapy because of a relationship breakdown or challenge as this can be a major catalyst for change. Other longer-term clients are struggling with a path into mid life and have reached a stage where they can no longer put off changes they somehow know are destined to come.

In these uncertain times we are all feeling anxious and that is completely normal, however if these feelings are overwhelming please contact me. Acceptance and speaking to someone may help to understand how to manage these emotions. Or maybe you need a safe place, space and time to reflect on your life. Counselling and psychotherapy could help you to understand and make sense of the world and also recognize your behavior patterns and let go of the old patterns; ‘If you always do the same things in the same way, you will also get what you have always got!’ I am doing session via Zoom, facetime, skype or what ever is best for you.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in physical health conditions. If you are finding aspects of life challenging due to living with a health condition or you are supporting a loved one living with a health condition, I may be able to support you. Starting therapy can feel rather daunting. This is why I offer a warm and compassionate approach in working with your difficulties together. I offer brief and targeted therapy focused on developing coping skills to enable you to live a meaningful life alongside the health condition. I can also support you with your wellbeing if you do not live with a health condition.

Making the decision to come and see a counsellor can be a daunting one at first, and for some it can feel overwhelming. One-to-one counselling is an important step towards helping you understand and identify the roots of your difficulties. You may be here because you feel you have hit rock bottom, or that you find yourself struggling with particular relationships. There are many valid reasons why we search out help for what can seem like impossible struggles.

We might find times in our lives when we are struggling to cope, feel anxious and depressed, lost and hopeless, or feel unhappy in relationships. Therapy can be a place to make sense of experiences both past and present, exploring repeated patterns that keep us stuck and prevent us from making the changes we would like to in life. My style of working is collaborative, where we explore together, in a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space, the difficulties that you are currently facing.

Growing up has never been easy but perhaps due to the ever-changing circumstances, it is becoming even more difficult for children and young people with so many things they have to navigate or are exposed to. When children struggle emotionally, whether they are toddlers or teenagers, either their behaviour detoriate or unhealthy ways to deal with those strong emotions emerge. Either option can be scary and not many will be willing to talk about what is in their mind or is upsetting them.

We all hold within us the potential to thrive, my aim is to support you in achieving this so you can live a happier and more fulfilling life going forwards, whatever you have faced in the past. Too often we try to (or feel we should) cope alone, leaving us isolated in our suffering. In our sessions, we will gently and compassionately explore your situation together in a supportive and safe environment to help empower you to make the changes you wish to make.

I practice from my own room in NR6, Norwich, with parking available. I offer a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental counselling relationship. I work with clients to explore the issues that bring them to counselling, make them feel unhappy, unsatisfied or overwhelmed; exploring and working towards understanding these issues, and their responses to them. Our unhappiness may be triggered by any number of things beyond our control, but we can change how we think and the views we hold, through increased self-awareness. Couples work looks at exploring issues in a safe and emotionally containing environment to work towards mutual resolution.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer therapy in a supportive but also challenging environment to encourage exploration and understanding of your personal issues. During the process you will be listened to and I will provide insight into what is happening. Sadly there is no magic fix, I can't prescribe pills or potions or tell you what to do. I have experience counselling in private practice, the NHS and charities. This has given me a variety of experience working with a wide range of people with many different issues.

Where does your inner voice come from? It is helpful? Does it seem to have different agendas depending on the situation? Does it have different voices/tones/strength depending on what you are about to do? Does it taunt you or tempt you? Is it helping you or making you miss out on things? We all carry echoes of our past, for some they are automatic and just 'known' ways to behave/be. For others they can sabotage us, they are no longer helping us. Let's talk about negative thoughts, intrusive thoughts, those thoughts that slide in when you are minding your own business to side swipe you with doubts or temptation.

Making the decision to be in therapy can be life-changing. It is important to be able to express ourselves in a non-judgmental, safe, open, and confidential environment. I have been working for many years with people who come to me to talk about a variety of issues. All of these conversations highlight people's desire to improve their quality of life, whether by becoming more confident, finding direction or purpose in life, improving relationships, changing unhelpful behaviours, feeling happier, or developing new skills in life.

Please note I only offer art therapy and counselling online, EMDR is only face to face

I’m a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic integrative counsellor. I provide compassionate, empathic and confidential private counselling for a wide variety of clients. I care deeply about providing a safe space for you to explore your experiences, feelings and thoughts in order to feel better in life. I’ve helped people to work through many challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and self-confidence, trauma and PTSD, bereavement and loss, stress, loneliness, social anxiety, panic attacks, neurodiversity and adult diagnoses (e.g. ADHD), suicidal thoughts and the legacy of abuse and neglect.

I work with children who may be struggling with self-esteem, emotional regulation, family/ peer relationships, confidence or are not coping at school. They may have experienced trauma which continues to impact their emotional well being and everyday life. Often their parents/carers have tried many different strategies to support their child and are desperate for them to be happy and for their relationships to improve.

I like to work with clients who are aware that they want to make changes in their lives: they may not yet know what the change looks like, but are willing to explore options in a compassionate and supportive environment. They are interested to learn more about themselves and others; willing to accept that they many need to let go of some old patterns of thinking, feeling and doing to live the life they want for themselves. They are committed to their personal growth and willing to meet regularly over Zoom or in person, to achieve their goals. Goals will be agreed each session to ensure focus and a sense of achievement for us both

Hello, I have enjoyed working as a Clinical Psychologist with adults since 1999 and have gained experience of working effectively with people with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, including anxiety, anger, mood difficulties, difficulties relating to ourselves and other people, trauma of all kinds, chronic illness and eating difficulties. I have specific training (an Advanced Specialist Diploma in Gender, Sex & Relationship Psychotherapy) and a special interest in working therapeutically with gender diverse (trans), gay and bi people or those who belong to the kink, poly community (kink aware) or sex workers.

I have a passion in supporting young people and adults with their healing process, when challenged by times in their lives with issues they find too difficult to overcome alone. I am a genuine caring and compassionate Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with vast experience of working with children 11 years plus and adults. I offer a safe, non judgemental space, where we'll focus on your goals and aims of the sessions. At times we're not sure of what is troubling us and causing distress, but know that help is needed. Through exploration of your thoughts and feelings we can develop an understanding of your needs together.

I am a BACP registered person-centred counsellor and counselling supervisor. I work with young people and adults - age from 11 years old and up. I aim to offer a confidential, safe space and a non-judgemental supportive relationship, hopefully helping you to explore and gain understanding of why you may feel the way you do. This sometimes can mean reviewing and working through past influences and life events and how they may be affecting you in the present. This self-exploration can be an opportunity for personal development and growth, bringing about positive changes in how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to others.
