CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns.
As a Qualified Integrative Counsellor, CBT Practitioner, and Trauma specialist, I provide a friendly and professional space to enable you to work on important issues. This will allow you to move on with your life and achieve goals. Anxiety can be a debilitating condition, especially when it stems from past traumatic experiences.

Above all working with you to get the most out of our sessions whether we use gentle person centred or more structured cognitive behavioural therapy.
Hi I’m Mark, I offer a warm, empathic and positive approach to support those facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood, or a sense of feeling stuck. With a previous background in high-pressure roles and experience across a wide range of therapeutic techniques, I understand the challenges of both personal and professional life. I don’t believe in being a silent therapist—I actively engage, as I believe strong rapport is key. Together, we work toward balance, personal growth, and a deeper sense of harmony.

If you struggle with issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or self-doubt, feel stuck or overwhelmed and may not know how to move forward or might just be looking to develop as a person.

As a clinical psychologist, I am trained in many approaches including CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy and narrative therapy.
Are you feeling like life isn't quite how you want it to be? Taking the step of talking to someone can feel like a really big deal. For many people, speaking to a professional may also be the start of things changing for the better. I offer a space to explore your difficulties and recognise and build on your strengths. Together we can look for a way forward, to help you to live a life you enjoy.

I have trained in CBT, as well as Integrative therapy which means that I draw on a lot of different ideas in our work together.
Hello, my name is David and I am an experienced therapist offering a safe, non-judgmental space to work through whatever it is that is troubling you. However big or small your problems may seem, you deserve to be listened to, and talking to a professional who is outside of your social and family circle can be an effective way of exploring your thoughts and feelings in a safe and respectful environment. If you are feeling stuck in your life and are experiencing low moods, anxiety or self-worth issues, please get in touch so we can get to work on making a positive change.

With a PhD in Biology and an MSc in Psychology, I combine scientific expertise with evidence-based psychological therapies to support individuals facing emotional and cognitive challenges.
After many years working on the brain, studying its biology and functioning, I got naturally interested in Psychology. I therefore went back to University to study this fascinating topic. The knowledge I got there provided me with the skills required to help people going through their mental health issues.

The approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis & Gestalt Therapy.
My name is Corrina, I'm here to help you heal the wounds you can’t always see. You might feel like you should be fine, but inside, something still feels unsettled. Maybe you grew up feeling unseen, had to keep the peace, or learned to be strong for everyone else. These quiet hurts, the small “t” traumas, can stay with us, shaping how we see ourselves and how safe we feel with others. If you find yourself anxious, overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to rest, you’re not broken. You’re responding exactly as your body learned to survive.

Perhaps you’re a teenager or young adult, who experiences physical symptoms of anxiety (such as stomach aches or racing heart), which make you want to avoid certain situations. Or maybe you’re a parent or guardian, eager to get the best support for a loved one who struggles with anxious thoughts or behaviours. Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. I care. My interest in providing timely treatment for difficulties such as these is the reason why I founded Flourishing Futures Psychology. I too was prone to getting tangled up with anxiety when I was younger, so I know how it can try to trip you up.

I offer established approaches like CBT, ACT, CFT, EMDR, psychodynamic, and somatic (body) awareness.
Are you seeking a reflective space to explore challenges, deepen self-understanding, and grow? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck—or have a sense that there’s more to life, but something is holding you back. Perhaps living with a long-term condition (like chronic illness or depression) has affected your sense of identity or self-worth. Maybe past trauma—whether recent or from childhood—continues to shape your emotions, lifestyle, or physical health. I am an experienced Consultant Health Psychologist offering a compassionate space to help you process present struggles and/or deeper patterns rooted in the past.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), augmented by elements of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment Theory.
Hi there, I'm Chris. Have you or a loved one been struggling to cope with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or low? Maybe social situations are difficult to face, or work and studies are harder to manage? Perhaps you've been experiencing really difficult unwanted and intrusive thoughts, or feeling driven to repeat certain actions. Doing the things that you used to be able to do maybe just feels too heavy. If you're a loved one, maybe you've noticed your young person change from how they used to be. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges.
