Are you experiencing anxiety or depression, and struggling with something hard in your life, making it difficult for you to find a way forward and make changes in your life? You may not understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and why you're feeling and behaving the way that you are. Throughout life you may feel stuck and nothing you are doing is working anymore. This can cause you to stop and to take stock of your life, where you are going, what you are doing, how you are coping and what you need to change. Whatever you are struggling with, or wanting help to transform your life, counselling can help.

We are all unique to one another, yet one thing is undoubtedly the same about us all, we all deserve to be listened too, empathised with & allowed to speak openly with no judgement. This is the environment and safe space I, as a therapist aim to provide. As YOUR therapist I am here to listen profoundly. To create a safe & calming space to which you feel comfortable enough to talk about any troubles/issues which you may be facing right now in the present moment, situations and traumas from your past, or overwhelming worries about your future.

Sometimes life experiences can become overwhelming and feel too much to cope with. This can lead to us to feeling worthless, vulnerable and isolated. Sometimes we need somebody who will listen to us without judgement to help us work through things to lead to a better understanding of ourselves and our experiences and sometimes just hold our hand whilst we sit in that darkness.

My name is Zahra, I use a variety of skills and tailor therapy exclusively for you to help you work through your difficulties and move forwards . Using CBT we can explore deep rooted feelings, how they affect your life and how to make a change. We can build on resilience and provide you with a toolbox of strategies and techniques to handle whatever life throws at you and make lasting improvements. You can begin to break the cycle of repetitive, challenging and destructive behaviours and feelings. You will gain insight into your intrusive thoughts and negative thinking and how to challenge them and revolutionise your thinking.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. Connecting with the right counsellor is important and can sometimes feel confusing. I am a person centred counsellor with extensive experience working with clients who have addiction issues (alcohol, substances, gambling and sex addictiction). I also have worked extensively with bereavement, anxiety, sexuality and gender issues.

Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, sad or just not feeling yourself? Then counselling might be something that can help you, whether it is a new concern or a long held one. Sometimes emotional pain or life events can temporarily cloud your ability to see possible solutions, leaving you feeling stuck, confused, unhappy, anxious, sad or even shut down. The process of talking about this can gradually make things seem clearer as you make sense of your feelings and your thoughts become more ordered. You can feel change taking place, sometimes to your own surprise and so start to find a way forward that feels right for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unhappy? Have you noticed difficult or upsetting thoughts? With many years of experience helping people to overcome negative and unhelpful patterns, I can help you find new skills, knowledge and techniques to make lasting meaningful change. I work together with my clients to understand how their psychological issues developed, what is maintaining them and how they can be overcome. I aim to provide an empathic, safe and supportive environment for clients to explore emotional difficulties.

Life can be difficult, full of uncertainties and challenges, which can naturally leave us at times feeling distressed, overwhelmed, confused or alone. When we are feeling high levels of stress or anxiety it can be difficult to make sense of what is happening to us or how to move forward, sometimes it can be completely debilitating and frightening. At times we simply need space to explore a situation, a relationship or our sense of self. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy at this time, I would like to offer you a safe, compassionate space to explore what you need to and help you find a way forward that feels right for you.

Hello, I'm Alex. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist . I work predominantly in mental health services with people who have a number of difficult experiences (including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and emotion regulation). Although I'd be happy to discuss with you any presenting difficulties you may be experiencing.

If you struggle with an addiction I will work with you to help you find a way to stop and more importantly, stay stopped. I’m sure you will have heard the words “why don’t you just stop/cut down”. If only it was that simple. Your addiction probably helped or still helps you feel better or takes you away from the feelings you don’t want. If you’re looking for help it’s probably damaging your life in some way now and you’re ready to look for a solution. You have taken the first step, looking for an answer.
