For any neurodivergent/ Autistic/ AuDHD/ ADHD-ers; if psychoeducation, planning and/ or a cognitive approach is preferred, screen on/ off, moving, fidgeting, all is welcome.
You may have reached a point where old wounds, anxiety, relationship difficulties, burnout, loss, or feeling stuck or depressed are significantly affecting your life. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a space where you'll be met with compassion, curiosity, equality, and without judgement. With over 20 years' clinical experience working with adults and children across a variety of settings, and training in multiple modalities, I work in a trauma-informed, humanistic, and relational way, tailoring therapy to your unique needs rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.

Hi, my name is Laura Turner and I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, with training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Sometimes people can find themselves stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling and doing and may struggle to know what is preventing them from moving forward and making change. You may be feeling stressed or anxious, experiencing low mood, problems with sleep or be having difficulties in your relationships, at work or with your health. You may have experienced difficult or traumatic events, either in the past or more recently and these may be impacting how you cope, keeping you stuck in negative patterns.

I understand the unique rhythm of a neurodivergent life—the unseen effort of masking, the overwhelm of sensory processing and the struggle to fit into systems that weren't designed for you.
I believe that connection is key to the healing process and nurturing a trusting, safe relationship with you is at the core of everything I do. In our sessions, you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. I am a real person in the room with you, offering a space where you can finally relax, feel fully accepted, and be your authentic self.

Art therapy offers a unique space to explore your thoughts and emotions through creativity — no artistic skill needed. I believe that everyone can benefit from art therapy. Whether you're comfortable with art or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, the focus is on expression, not the end result. I offer a calm, supportive environment where you can feel free to explore at your own pace.

Hello, my name is Mick Dixon. I am a person-centred psychotherapist. I’m drawn to those concerns that we have regarding our meaning and purpose in the world that can touch us in unique and distinct ways: as melancholy, anxiety, loneliness, unnamed trauma, illness, inertia or as anger, self-criticism or feelings of powerlessness. I am also interested in the the correlation between the body and mental wellbeing and how our environments social, political, biological, physical, impact on us both bodily and psychologically.

Are you looking for a calm, confidential space where you don’t have to hold it all together. A place to reflect, be heard, and reconnect with your emotions, seek clarity, and understand yourself. You may appear capable, composed, and dependable, someone others rely on, but inside, you feel stretched, anxious, or disconnected. Perhaps you’re managing intense work or personal pressures, navigating difficult relationships, or carrying the impact of earlier experiences or trauma. Are you struggling with depression, low confidence, overthinking, or burnout. Despite functioning outwardly, something doesn’t feel right internally.
