I’m Stephanie, a psychotherapist specialising particularly in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, survivors of trauma and/or abuse and complex bereavement.
Therapy is a relationship based on trust, privacy and the assurance that I will seek to understand you, without judgment and without prejudice. My role is to create a supportive, non-judgmental and highly confidential environment where I will listen attentively to both what is said and what remains unspoken.

Hello. I'm Penny and I offer short or long-term therapy with an integrative approach. Is there something that is troubling you? Something you’d like to talk through, but with someone outside of family or friends? Perhaps you’re asking yourself some questions about who you are, what is going on in your life, or about the relationships you have? Maybe your feelings seem overwhelming, or you can’t identify what emotions you’re experiencing? Whatever issue you’d like to bring to counselling it is my hope that you will find some clarity and peace

I also have wide experience of working with people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, loss and LGBTQ issues, or dealing with trauma.
I can support you if you are struggling to make sense of your identity, your relationships, or distressing changes in your life. I offer integrative humanistic therapy both online and face to face. Get in touch for a free 15 minute introductory call. You may wish to make sense of childhood and how its challenges still affect you. You may need to explore a new understanding of yourself as neuro-divergent. You may be processing questions about gender or sexuality. These thoughts can feel scary to voice to family and friends. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore these feelings.

Still scrolling? If you're exhausted from holding everything together while struggling on the inside, this may be the sign you've been looking for. If you've clicked on my profile, there may be a reason for that. You may be used to holding everything together on the outside while struggling on the inside. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally numb, stuck in a relationship that isn't serving you, or relying on alcohol or substances to cope. You may feel lost, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how things got to this point. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

I work extensively with Attachment, Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain.
As a relational therapist I can support you to explore and understand the relationships in your life. We often think of relationships as the intimate kind, however, relationships are all around us in terms of family, friends, school, work and much more. I value the relationship we have with our self, which is often neglected or pushed aside.

As an integrative practitioner I also draw on other training such as Group Therapy, Bereavement Training and Addiction Training.
Counselling encourages you to examine your ways of relating to others, as well as your feelings and can raise your self-awareness, which can help you to see your situation more clearly and restore your ability to choose. I work in a gental and collaborative way to help you to understand what is happening in your life and how you can make positive changes.

Or you’re pregnant after loss and each milestone brings dread instead of joy.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

Many of my clients are adults who appear to be managing well on the outside - meeting expectations, keeping things moving - while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or quietly stuck. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or burnout, or navigating a significant life transition. Some aren't in crisis; they've simply noticed that something no longer feels right. That life has started to feel more like something to get through than something to be part of. What brings them here is a readiness to understand themselves more deeply, and to begin building a life that feels genuinely theirs.
