Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.

I seek to offer you a safe, confidential space where you can share your story. Whilst I have worked with a number of difficulties, these tend to have a common, but individually unique grounding - how we as humans have learnt to survive and cope in difficult circumstances, and together in therapy we can start to make sense of how your experiences and relationships have shaped you in order to develop a road map for repairing relationships, overcoming difficulties, being kinder to yourself and developing new ways of coping in order to live a better and more fulfilling life.

Hello, I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CAT Therapist and Coach. I am passionate about working with people in the way that they find most helpful. We can all find ourselves at a point in our lives when things are not how we’d like them to be. We can be caught up in negative patterns, experience difficult symptoms (such as struggling with sleep or anxiety, feeling low or stressed) and have difficulties with our relationships, work or our health. We may have experienced something traumatic or stressful that we struggle to cope with or find ourselves caught up in a negative situation that we don’t seem to be able to escape.

This is about you and I'm here to listen sensitively as we work together in a confidential setting so you feel you can talk openly and freely. It is about a therapeutic relationship as I offer emotional warmth and respect, encouraging you to explore what has brought you to counselling. To offer an empathic understanding is about you knowing I am on the journey with you making sense of what is happening but being guided by your direction of what is important for you to bring to the session.

Hey There, Trauma can present as symptoms connected to nervous system disregulation, such as anxiety, depression, low mood, negative thinking, destructive behaviour, difficulty in experiencing emotion, lack of drive and enthusiasm, isolation, a lack of trust in others and a fear of connection or poor relationships, dissociative tendencies and hyper sensitivities. I work with cutting edge methods including Brainspotting and the SSP (safe sound protocol) (polyvagal theory) that are grounded in the most recent developments in neuro science and how we understand the impact of our early environment on our here and now adult experiences.

People come to see me for all sorts of reasons. They might be having trouble in friendships or relationships, experiencing anxiety or depression, have lost someone close to them, be struggling with low self-esteem or body image issues, engaging in self-harm, or just not feeling quite themselves. Having a place to talk freely and focus on what is important to you can help you to make changes that can improve your life. Therapy can leave you feeling happier and more at ease in your own skin.
Stepping Stones Psychology
Psychotherapist, BACP
Verified
For some time now you might have been struggling to make sense of how you are feeling and wish to talk things through with a professional. This could relate to difficulties with your mood and some behaviours you are not happy with and want to explore and work on these. Perhaps this was because of a recent event, or something that is related to your early childhood experiences, or even a combination of different life circumstances. You may be thinking that despite already seeking help for some of the issues that you have been facing, you feel unfulfilled and think that something is missing in terms of healing.

Counsellor, MNCS Accred

Life throws challenges at us, and sometimes these are difficult. We go through transitions and change, we experience loss, and our relationships can be troublesome. This can affect our confidence and self-esteem. I work in a non-judgemental and empathic way, led by you, to together understand your experiences and work collaboratively to overcome the difficulties you may be facing. I have experience working with a variety of issues, like stress, depression & anxiety, bereavement and more. Those labels might apply to you, they might not. You might just have "some stuff" you want to talk about, and I'm here for you too.
Sara Bartlett Brown
Psychotherapist, MBACP
Verified
I provide an accessible and compassionate service that reduces psychological distress and enables people to address what is difficult. Being genuinely heard, understood & accepted are rare for many of us. This leads us to a ways of being and doing that do not support our wellbeing. We keep our true selves hidden from others and although this helps us feel safe it can also cause us a lot of pain and can really limit us. With an understanding therapist we trust we can begin to make sense of who we are, how we are and what has happened to us in our lives. We can be truer to ourselves and live with more confidence, ease & acceptance.

As a skilled integrative Counselling Therapist, I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore the difficulties in a confidential environment.

It can sometimes seem worrying to share your deepest, most personal thoughts and feelings. I'm here to offer a warm, welcoming and confidential therapeutic space where you will have your time to talk and where hopefully we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship, one in which you can feel comfortable to share your worries and thoughts. Every client and every therapeutic process is different and I will always value you as a unique individual, with the utmost respect for the journey you have navigated and the place you find yourself in now.

Sometimes when we feel we have tried everything to help, a brand new approach is required. I am passionate about using hypnotherapy to help people overcome their challenges and reach their goals in a fast and effective way. Hypnotherapy can be used to overcome a variety of issues such as anxiety, confidence and self esteem issues, formation of a positive mindset and healthy habits, combating fears, phobias and unwanted habits. It can help people change perspective enabling them to overcome challenging life events. I am trained in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy meaning that I can find the best solutions for you.

Counsellor, MA, MBACP

Life can often feel overwhelming and daunting. At times we can feel we are being swept along by events, sometimes stuck and unable to move forwards. Sometimes we have an idea about who we want to be or how we want to change but struggle to make those changes a reality. Sometimes we feel we are failing, not good enough, out of control. Quite often we feel these things but try to carry on without sharing that with anyone and feel lost and alone. All of these experiences are familiar to me and to the people I have worked with over the years. As a Person-Centred counsellor I believe first and foremost in creating a safe space for client

Hi, I'm Nate. Thank you for looking at my profile. I know that the idea of talking about difficulties with anyone - let alone a stranger – can feel challenging & selecting a professional can seem like a daunting task. It might be the first time you’ve considered sharing your experiences with someone. I would hold this in mind & support you to feel as comfortable as possible (remembering that it’s natural to feel nervous). The quality of the relationships I have with clients is fundamental to my work and I am guided by what research tells us can help & I would adapt this to your needs.

Do you need some space and time to collect your thoughts, find some perspective? Are you wrestling with something which seems difficult to understand and accept? Do you need someone to hear and understand you? Someone to help you to make sense of things and give you the confidence to move through it and beyond?

Thank you for viewing my profile. This may be your first step in seeking counselling and the beginning of getting you on the road to better mental health. At times, it can help to talk to someone other than family or friends. You may wish to talk about and explore what is troubling you, such as anxiety, depression, anger, gender, low self-esteem, relationships, work/school, bereavement and loss, or other things that are causing you difficulties.
