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.

Growing up is hard, and today’s world brings extra pressures for children and teens. Emotional struggles can show up as difficult behavior, anxiety, or unhealthy ways of coping, and it’s often hard for children to express what’s inside. I support families at every stage: from infancy (0–2), through parent-infant psychotherapy to help babies and parents build secure, nurturing connections, to older children and teens, providing tailored support to process emotions, develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and feel understood in a safe and creative space.

Are you looking to better understand and regulate your anxiety and emotions? Maybe you want to explore your past and make sense of experiences, relationships or events? Perhaps you're trying to manage changes in life and need to work through where you're at and where you'd like to get to? People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some people need to get things off their chest in a safe space, others want to actively work on managing or regulating difficult emotions, improve relationships or work through change. It's also ok if it's hard to articulate why exactly you'd like therapy, we can figure that out together.

Many of my clients talk about how counselling allows them to discuss things with someone who is not directly affected, and who will offer a safe place in which to do it. It can provide people the chance to really reflect on how they, themselves are feeling, away from the life and expectations that they experience with others around them. Whatever your reason for reaching out, well done for making this step and I hope that I can be of help :)

Hi, I’m Francesca Smith and I specialise in supporting women with busy, demanding lives who are struggling with trauma, OCD, low self‑esteem, burnout or perfectionistic patterns. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious & beaten down by self criticism. We work together on processing trauma, developing compassion & healthier self-esteem, all at a pace that's right for you. I use evidence‑based therapies, including CBT, EMDR, ACT, CFT and IFS‑informed EMDR. It's not prescriptive or scripted like some NHS therapy can feel, it's deeply personalised to suit you.

I help adults handle trauma, grief and big life changes through weekly/fortnightly sessions or Therapy Intensives. (Spaces for new clients from mid-July). Are you anxious, overwhelmed, blindsided by life events or exhausted from pretending everything’s fine in your life, work or relationships? Are you struggling to push down past trauma, only for it to push right back up? Maybe you’re flooded with too many emotions at once, so numb that you barely feel anything at all, or you’ve lost a sense of who you are? If you don’t know where to start or find it too daunting to tackle alone, I’m here to help process what’s painful or confusing.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself lately? When your mind is constantly busy or your mood feels low, even everyday things can start to feel difficult. I specialise in helping people break free from cycles of trauma, worry, & self doubt so they can feel in control & start living more fully again. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we’ll work together to understand what keeps these patterns going & develop practical, evidence-based strategies to help you move forward. This might include learning how to manage anxious thoughts, reduce avoidance, build confidence, & respond differently to difficult emotions.

Clients bring issues like depression, anxiety, grief, anger and passivity. They maybe experiencing a major life transition (e.g. mid age / relationship breakdown) that feels too much to face alone or/and has triggered issues that now need attention. I provide integrative psychotherapy in Norwich and NR10, drawing from evidence based methods to support the whole person - including attachment informed methods, humanistic and cognitive techniques, internal family systems. My approach is also psychodynamic, so we explore patterns rooted in early relationships and how they might still play out, even within the therapy relationship.

Life can feel hard sometimes. A crisis that throws everything we took for granted into the air, crashing us and our life into a million pieces. A gnawing sense that we are running from ourselves, our past, things that we are scared to face but we know are dictating our current life. A subtle but disquieting sense that life was supposed to be or feel different to this, that we are meant for more, but we don’t know what. A realisation that our mind is at constant war with us and the fear and lack of peace that goes along with that.

Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas, to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do the best we can to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour keep us feeling stuck.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
