Katie Snow
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
Hi, I'm Katie and I appreciate you stopping by my profile. I bring warmth, positivity and my sense of humour to the therapeutic relationships that I form with clients. It takes courage to decide to enter therapy and together we will find what helps you the most. The areas that I offer the most support with are anxiety, low self esteem and depression. I offer a free initial discussion because it gives you the opportunity to see if you think we are a good fit. Part of the therapeutic process is the relationship that we build and therefore it is important that you feel safe, heard and accepted.
Amanda Temple
Counsellor, DCounsPsych, MBACP Accred
Verified
I am an accredited psychotherapist & counsellor offering support to adults, couples & young people 16+. How we relate to ourselves and to others impacts our mood, our confidence, our outlook and self-esteem. I work to shed light on how our relationships shape us, and how we can get stuck repeating patterns of behaviour that no longer serve us. Symptoms such as anxiety, OCD and depression thrive when we get into a vicious cycle of relating ineffectively. Counselling gives us a safe space to reflect and explore what has happened to us. It can free us up to think and feel differently about our lives, our choices, our way forward.

Individuals from all walks of life seek therapeutic help with many different problems; such as for persistent feelings of depression and anxiety, or inexplicable outbursts of anger. People who turn to psychotherapy may feel worried in vague ways; such as feeling aimless or dissatisfied in their work life, or feeling unable to make satisfactory personal or sexual relationships.

Hi, I'm Jo and thank you for taking the time to stop by my profile. So you've decided to take what feels like a scary yet very important step towards making a difference in your life and are looking for the right help with this - yes? Finding a safe, trustworthy and comfortable place is so important when it comes to therapy and I strive to offer this, either in my therapy room, via video link or over the phone, so that you can get help where ever you are. I'm trained in a variety of Counselling Theories so we can make the therapy fit you, rather than to try to fit you in to a 'therapy box' of one theory fits all.
The OCD Treatment Centre
Psychotherapist, MBACP

I work with clients that primarily struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms and anxiety disorders. My clients experience contamination, responsibility, religious/scrupulosity, relationship, health, symmetry, and 'Pure O' OCD symptoms. I offer formal assessments, treatment proposals, and I regularly educate and support clients to learn specialist skills, tools and techniques to successfully manage their OCD. This includes learning to diffuse from and accept unwanted thoughts, resist the urge to perform compulsions, and improve self-esteem. I am experienced working with mild, moderate, or severe OCD.
Dr Maria Gascon-Ramos
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Verified
As a Clinical Psychologist, I work with individuals with a range of difficulties who want to improve their lives. Clients I see struggle with anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms and self-criticism. They often feel drained, have little energy, live with pain, or experience a range of gastrointestinal complaints. For many of the clients I see, relationships can be challenging, and trusting others to seek help is a struggle. Through our work together, they develop greater awareness of how they relate to others and themselves and the impact it has on their body/mood, which helps them to manage differently.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. Life can be stressful, challenging and overwhelming. This can be influenced by issues such as relationship difficulties, general anxieties and worries, feelings of panic, low confidence and self esteem, bereavement, to name but a few. However, you may feel embarrassed, unable or unwilling to share your worries with friends or family. I can provide support, confidentiality and understanding to enable you to start to move forward. You do not need to go through this on your own.

David Flavin
Psychotherapist, MNCS Accred
Verified
I specialise in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) along side other integrative therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and hypnotherapy. The framework my approach is built on is REBT, yet as each of us are different, I integrate the other therapies to suit each individual. Some clients benefit more from rationalising thoughts and beliefs, while some need help getting over the past, and some need help with moving forward. I work with my clients to address issues, create and reach goals, and make the most of life.
Steve Turner
Counsellor, MBACP

My ideal client is one of complexity; I plan on to enrol onto a Doctorate becoming a counselling psychologist. I am a qualified counsellor and my knowledge base started 13 years ago when I fell ill. I have had an eventful life, including heart problems, strokes and many other issues. Through therapies, self help and determination I am happy with my life and I would love to share my knowledge. I have specialised in complex bereavement over the past 4 years seeing clients face to face and supporting them through the hard times. There is a need for more LGBT counsellors that understand and help.

You may be experiencing distressing thoughts/feelings/events and are looking for space where you can work it through and embark on a journey of healing change. This could be impacting you in ways that show up in your relationships or behaviour. Or you may have already had therapy and wish to re-visit something and go a bit deeper as you recognise patterns that are not in alignment with your true self. However sometimes it is not clear why you feel the way you do yet you have a sense that something isn't right and you might feel lost, confused or curious about what is the next step for you.

Diane Knight
Psychotherapist, MNCS Accred

I've found that most people who come to see me are struggling with some form of anxiety or stress, low self worth and/or depression (which they quite often don't recognise until we complete an inventory!) Worrying about what people think about them, anxious about social events, stressed at work, struggling to juggle everything and taking it out on family members, angry at the injustice of it all, feeling worthless and a lack of hope and teary. These are just some of the things that are creating problems in their lives until they come to see me and we create a shift by developing a rational, helpful mindset! Changing the beliefs.
