To help clients understand how counselling can help, what to expect and how it works I offer initial phone and face to face consultations free of charge so you can feel assured you are taking the right steps to make positive change in your life
Struggling to cope with negative emotions can feel very isolating and, by the nature of some problems, guilt and shame can make us feel stigmatised and prevent us reaching out for support even when its not our fault. People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life. Some people find they use alcohol or drugs in an attempt to cope with their feelings but inventively this creates more problems

I offer a flexible Psychotherapy based service both in-person (South Shields location) and online.
For years, I followed the classic script: success equals status, status equals money, and money equals happiness. It worked — until it didn’t. After a couple of decades in high-level corporate roles, I hit a wall: outwardly successful, inwardly lost. Burnt out, disconnected, and wondering, Is this it? Psychotherapy changed everything. Through Transactional Analysis (TA), I identified the unconscious life script I’d been living — one written long ago, by others. That awakening sparked a journey of deep transformation. Today, I help others do the same. I work with people often approaching or in midlife, who are questioning their path.

Hello, I’m Bev. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and when our thoughts are disorganised it can be challenging to see a clear way forward and to make positive and healthy choices. Although it is helpful talking to others, many people feel more comfortable and more able to be fully open, talking to a trained professional. I am an Integrative Person-centered Counsellor and EMDR Practitioner. I have experience in supporting and helping clients overcome mental health issues including; bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma.

I offer therapy in person, in the heart of Newcastle, Tuesday-Friday, for adults of all ages - a warm, supportive space to explore and heal.
Do you feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, emptiness, or a loss of meaning? Do relationships leave you lonely, unfulfilled, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing? Are you troubled by traumatic or painful memories? As a relationally trained therapist, I help people build self-esteem, overcome anxiety, form more satisfying connections, and rediscover purpose. You may feel you’ve never truly belonged, or carry the wounds of childhood abuse, neglect, or bullying. You may live with an inner voice that’s often critical or unkind. Perhaps a sudden trauma, betrayal, or loss has shaken your life and left you questioning everything.

With restrictions easing I now have some availability for face to face sessions starting from September, alongside phone and video sessions.
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.

Hi there. My name is Joe, and I’m a Psychological Therapist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. After suffering through years of anxiety throughout my teens and early twenties, I was able to work through these issues and make a full recovery. I knew then that if I could recover, I could help other people do the same. Following my recovery, I went on to gain a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Counselling from The University of Sunderland and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (IAPT) from Teesside University. I am an accredited member of The British Association for Cognitive & Behavioural Psychotherapies.
