Rational Emotive Behaviour (REBT) Counselling in Peterborough

I am a qualified psychotherapist working primarily within the existential model. I also use the techniques of CBT, solution-focused brief therapy and transactional analysis where appropriate. My approach is pragmatic rather than theory driven, with the aim of supporting the client in the most effective way possible to explore their situation and bring about positive change. On a personal level, I bring to the therapy room my long experience of life and its difficulties, and a philosophical perspective that draws on existentialism, Buddhism, Taoism, Stoicism and Epicureanism.

I am an Integrative Therapist with a grounding in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transaction Analysis, Psychodynamic Theory and Person Centred Therapy. I like to start sessions using a Person Centred approach where we, together, will look to understand what troubles you; the help that you seek and set realistic goals to achieve that. I retrained as a Therapist after many years in corporate life and I like to think that my mid stage of life and varied career background helps me genuinely empathise with the wide range of difficulties that modern life can bring us all.

Life is tough. Sometimes we get to a point where we feel stuck, unable to see a way through. There are infinite reasons what may bring you to therapy; relationship breakdown, bereavement, a sense of loss of control, addiction, bullying, redundancy, the list goes on. We cannot change the past. But we can heal from the pain, towards a life worth living of your choice. Therapy is a collaborative process. Everybody is an individual and I will work with you as the expert on your own life; offering support, challenge, empathy and compassion along with the space to explore your own experience, which is so rarely possible in our daily lives

Do you feel like life should feel better? Are you in a dark place and trying to find the light? My name is Shanice and I am an REBT therapist, but a human first. I’ve experienced anxiety and depression and understand how hopeless struggling with your mental health can feel. I help people to manage life better and to realise that there is light. I do this by helping you to identify the underlying belief that is creating your pain and going through a structured process of changing that belief.

I am trained in both couple’s therapy and individual therapy. As an Integrative Counsellor, I am here to walk beside you on your journey. My approach is empathetic and compassionate; however I will challenge my clients to help them achieve their goals. My experience this far has included work in the NHS Iapt service and also providing short term therapy and mental health support to men in prison. I have also created a successful private practice. I want the sessions to focus on my clients needs. I will provide the platform for you to discuss what you need to discuss and the safety of a confidential, caring and warm space.

When we're trying to cope with situations and experiences that are difficult for us, it's easy to find ourselves reacting in ways we don't like or want but can't seem to stop or change. My name is Owen Newman. I'm an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, experienced at helping to work through problems with anxiety, depression, compulsions/addictions, OCD, stress, anger management, self-confidence, motivation and procrastination affecting you, your relationships or your work life.

So, can talking to someone help? Absolutely ! Regardless of the reason you might keep it in, talking has powerful psychological benefits that might not be obvious. Life can throw up many challenges and I am able to offer a safe, supportive, confidential environment for adults, Couples and young people to talk through and try and make sense of what they are finding difficult. Sometimes, we can struggle to find the words to share our internal world or communicate our feelings. Using creative tools together can be useful to help identify and process what is happening.

I have worked with a range of clients from different backgrounds and with various issues including depression, anxiety, low mood relationship issues, bereavement, low self-esteem, abuse (sexual & domestic violence), work difficulties and dealing with terminal illness. My background is in Psychology in which I have an MSc. I lectured and taught psychology for many years and during my time in education, I was a pastoral tutor to students aged 14-18.

Hello, my name is Dr Joanna Saddington. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2006. Before setting up in private practice I worked in the NHS for 18 years. I am passionate about helping adults, young people, children and families overcome their difficulties. We all know life can be challenging, so it doesn't matter whether a problem is longstanding or is more recent. What is important, is that we work together to try to solve it. I always aim to work in a way that suits the individual and their needs, as well as aiming to deliver therapy empathetically and without judgment.

Hi, I’m Timothy and my approach is rooted in the understanding that you have the capacity to grow and change, and that therapy can be a powerful tool in this process. My experience includes extensive work with a range of issues. These include addictive behaviour, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, identity, and loss. I understand that seeking help can be a difficult and vulnerable experience, which is why I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space that is designed to foster trust and mutual respect.

Integrative Multilingual Counselling & Psychotherapy providing counseling in Kurdish, Turkish, bilingual French, and Greek. I have recently received the qualification in BSL level3.  Sometimes it can feel difficult or almost impossible to share what's hurting you, with your surrounding. Seeking help in therapy means that you need and deserve to have the time for yourself, to explore what you are currently going through and freely express your feelings and share your thoughts, concerns, and the difficulties you are experiencing.

Exploring the possibility of counselling/psychotherapy is a courageous step, one which can enable you to become more fully yourself. Therapy should be a place where you can feel safe and accepted, where you find it easier to share things that are concerning you. It can be a place where you come to find out more about yourself, to challenge yourself and make choices and decisions that lead towards a more positive and hopeful future. Sometimes there is something from our past, an event or an aspect of ourselves, that seems to be holding us back, and therapy can support us in addressing those things too.

My clients appreciate my holistic approach to mental health. Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them. I offer therapy to everyone because we all want to be seen, heard and understood and that is often at the very heart of Healing.

Is something holding you back from living the life you want to live? Do you question why you keep repeating the same patterns? When emotional problems arise it can be difficult to know where to turn and pressures to cope can leave us isolated and desperate. My aim is to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and emotions and the affect they have on your behaviour and mood. I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one, with the two of us working side-by-side to develop your inner resources, improve awareness of yourself and your relationships with others.
