Choosing a counsellor is a daunting task. Most of us use the same language to describe what we do and how we do it, making it even harder to decide. I have been there, and I learnt that choosing a few counsellors to have an initial meeting with, is a good place to start. This way, you get a flavour of how your work with that person will look like. I invite you to book a free exploratory session with me and decide afterwards if we are a good fit.

I work with individuals and couples to understand what keeps happening in their relationships and find clearer, steadier ways forward.
I help individuals and couples understand repeating emotional patterns, relationship dynamics and personal challenges that leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together we explore feelings, needs and underlying patterns so you can develop clearer self-understanding, stronger boundaries and more confident ways of moving forward.

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.

Hello my name is Shelley and I am a qualified adult and child Therapeutic Counsellor. I have a vast amount of experience as a pastoral worker working in schools and as a counsellor working for a charity. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offer face to face or online sessions . These sessions provide a confidential, supportive environment where clients can feel safe and explore the work through any emotional or life difficulties. I believe by offering online counselling this gives each individual the ability to reach their true potential within the safety of their chosen space.

I work with both individuals and couples, supporting people through a wide range of challenges — including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-defeating patterns.
I’m an integrative therapist, which means I draw from several therapeutic approaches — including relational, psychodynamic, and body-based work — to suit your unique needs. I’m especially interested in the mind-body connection, and I take a holistic view of mental health that respects your emotional, physical and neurobiological experiences.

Trauma-focused therapy helps to address the underlying traumatic memories and triggers that contribute to anxiety. CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. However, a combination of trauma-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can offer effective strategies for managing anxiety and reclaiming a sense of calm. I provide a safe and supportive environment for processing and healing trauma, and all anxiety-based issues. I offer therapy sessions over the phone and video link. I also offer MH assessments and report writing services.

I work with ages spanning from the tender age of 3 to adulthood. I work within trauma and attachment-related challenges, seeking solace and healing. Rooted in past experiences, and how the issues manifest in strained relationships, emotional dysregulation, and a pervasive sense of disconnection. Individuals needs transcend age barriers, encompassing a safe space for expression, empathetic understanding, and tools for coping and resilience. Through therapy, individuals will aspire to reclaim a sense of security, rebuild trust in relationships, and cultivate a healthy sense of self-worth.

To both individuals and couples, I offer a 'pay-as-you-go' rate of £63 per session and a monthly subscription of £220 (an average of £50 per session).
In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which has become increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you feel life is simply surviving not thriving; that relationships have become a prison or a battlefield; that you are lost, without purpose or passion; that the future seems more scary than exciting? If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach will help you explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful, peaceful and authentic way of living.

You might be struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling on edge. Maybe relationships feel draining, or being neurodivergent makes everyday life harder to manage. I offer counselling that helps you slow things down, understand your triggers, and build practical ways to cope. The aim is simple, less pressure, more clarity, and a steadier sense of self.
