I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor with over 17 years experience, a qualified Couples Counsellor and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I feel passionate about helping my clients, be it dealing with anxiety, depression, marriage and other relationship difficulties, addressing trauma including Complex-PTSD and childhood trauma, achieving personal growth or wanting to get on better in life or at work.

Individual and Couple's Counsellor. Are you feeling anxious, depressed or stressed? Do you have low self esteem? Do you have communication problems in your marriage /other relationships? Is your head full of negative or unhelpful thoughts? Do you need help in making adjustments? These are things I can help you with.. Taking the first step in reaching out for help is often daunting, but I will be there to support you. Counselling can lead to exploring other options and choices in your life, whilst rediscovering your unique qualities, and who you really are. I find my clients notice improvements in their lives after a few sessions.

Are you finding your marriage or relationship to be really hard right now? Is it full of tension, disappointment or heartache? Perhaps you are arguing more and you just don't look forward to spending time with your partner anymore. Do you wish you could feel the way you felt about them when you first decided to make a commitment to each other? I'm guessing you want to feel seen and heard, like you matter and like your thoughts and feelings matter, too. You don't just want to be going through the motions of being close, but want something that feels special and secure.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.

Are you tired of going around the same old mountain? Counselling could be the first step in you experiencing the change you desire.

I offer a non-judgemental, safe environment to help you understand yourself and your life. Counselling can support you to find your own insights, new ways of being with yourself and others, and work towards healing and freedom. It can be a space to get things off your chest, rest or reset, find perspective and understanding in life and relationships, as well as having someone to really hear and be with you as you share and explore what is difficult. My practice is informed by Buddhist philosophy and meditation, which I have been exploring and supporting others with for over 15 years, emphasising embodied awareness and compassion.

When you are facing difficulties I believe that there is real value in talking to someone who has the training and experience to listen in a way that allows you to be fully understood. I am a qualified individual and relationship counsellor and have worked for the NHS as a registered nurse for over thirty years.

If you are casting around for a source of help to see you through what seems like a bewildering or difficult time, or you feel ready for a voyage towards self discovery I would like to offer a space where you can safely explore things beneath the surface.

Adults, Children, couples and families. Suffering anxiety, depression, effects of trauma or just want to review some difficult years?

We work with a wide range of issues that include common presentations such as anxiety, depression, childhood difficulties, historical abuse and social unease. We aim to provide you with the emotional freedom to explore the human conditions that challenge our general mental and emotional wellbeing. We do this by offering differing ways of working eg couple or individual counselling, mentoring and small group work.

I am an Art Psychotherapist and Systemic Family Practitioner with over 10 years' experience working with individuals, couples and families across the age range. I draw on frameworks ranging from systemic to existential and psychodynamic. I work with warmth and curiosity to help people in distress navigate a path of finding meaning, richness, aliveness and connection within and from difficult and challenging experiences. I am also trained in EFT (emotionally focussed couples therapy) and currently have a waiting list for couples looking for therapy.

It might be that you have a clear sense of the issues you'd like to explore or just a sense that something is not quite right - both are excellent starting points.Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, not who they should be. For some, getting a stronger sense of self is the first step in the therapy. Partly my work is also with people who have experienced one or more traumatic events, including with a PTSD diagnosis - our focus then is on processing the trauma therapeutically to reduce the unwanted symptoms that interfere with daily life.

I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel confused and simply need to talk. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and begin to understand where it began: Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and kind. My purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find purpose, meaning and peace in your life.

Inner Citadel is a clinic and training institute founded by Dr Tanya Lecchi (HCPC Clinical Psychologist and Counselling Psychologist). Our mission is to offer evidence-based therapies to people interested in exploring their lived experience in depth, helping our clients manage their clinical symptoms while finding greater authenticity and fulfilment in their daily lives. We offer a safe, quiet and private space.

Whatever is wrong, what you want to change about yourself, how you feel, and how your moods and feelings affect you, depends on the emotion in you. To change your moods and feelings and how they affect your behaviour you need to work with the underlying emotion. Adaptation Practice is designed to do this. It is a safe and effective treatment for all emotional (that is, emotion-based) difficulties and problems.

Are you ready to feel different? Maybe you've had some big changes in your life that have left you feeling unsettled or maybe you're fed up with things staying the same and you're ready to make some changes. During therapy you will begin to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences providing you with valuable insight and leaving you empowered and ready to make positive changes in your life.

Reviewers and seekers like yourself might be uncertain about what therapy is. You might imagine it's like going to see the doctor to get a plan to be fixed or you may imagine Therapy to be more like a craft/art/magic. Or something else. I don't have fixed ideas about what you bring, how you bring it and what sort of person you might be. I'm not sure what you want, but i'm interested to start exploring it together with you. You may not know what you want and thats ok too. It is ok to reach out from a position of not knowing and uncertainty. Sitting a room together will give you a lot of information.

You may feel like you’re stuck in repetitive cycles of unwanted thoughts and feelings. You may find that this stops you from going out of your comfort zone and stops you from connecting to the people that are important to you. From the outside it may look like you're keeping it all together but on the inside you feel trapped. With 15 years experience of working in mental health I aim to support you to unlock your potential through becoming more self-aware. I provide a safe, respectful and supportive space for you to identify your specific needs, explore issues and work through your difficulties.
