I am a psychotherapist & counsellor with a child/young person specialism and an adult psychotherapeutic counsellor. I was a primary school teacher for 24 years and have knowledge and understanding of the many complexities impacting young people, parents and those working with them. I have worked therapeutically with all ages. Whatever our age or stage in life, there are times when we encounter challenges or struggles. These can be confusing, cause anxiety or a feeling of being stuck. We can suffer from low self-esteem and need support in improving resilience, communication and relationships and gain an improved sense of wellbeing.

Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Perhaps we experience intrusive anxious thoughts or our inner critic is just too loud and holds us back. Maybe we keep repeating the same unhelpful behaviour again and again. Or perhaps past trauma feels too present and we are still experiencing its physical and emotional impact and the way it makes us behave. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives may be too difficult. I provide a safe, respectful space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

I'm Andy and as a qualified person-centred counsellor, I strongly believe we all have the ability to navigate life's challenges by drawing on our own experience and capabilities. My role is to invite clients to explore whatever they choose in order to gain a deeper understanding of how it's impacting them, enabling them to create positive change. I do this through actively listening and offering useful reflections of themes I may notice, including any changes over time. I ask clients questions that encourage them to think about their experiences in new ways and never judge or lead anyone into talking about something uncomfortable.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I imagine at the moment you might not be experiencing life as you'd hope to. Perhaps you feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, stuck, lost, angry, frustrated, alone and/or are experiencing difficulties in your relationships. All these emotions are part of being human, but at times they can feel like they are taking over, causing distress and difficulties.
It can help to talk, and I offer a gentle, respectful, kind and compassionate presence, keen to listen without judgement, welcoming the whole of you, at your own pace.
I aim to be alongside you, working together to help you achieve the outcomes you desire from therapy.

You may look capable on the outside — the steady one others rely on — yet privately feel anxious, disconnected, or increasingly strained in your relationships. Often it isn’t just stress, but patterns in communication and attachment that quietly erode closeness over time. Many people begin therapy individually and realise their personal growth is closely linked to their relationships. I offer calm, thoughtful therapy for individuals and couples seeking clarity, depth and lasting change.

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.
