The counselling I provide offers you the time and space that so many of us need but often lack, especially when life becomes hard or you feel less able to cope as you once did. You may be struggling with depression, low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, a relationship breakdown, bereavement, or perhaps there is no label that can best describe where you are at right now. Whatever the case and wherever you are at, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for you to begin your counselling journey.

Most people, at some point in their lives, experience emotional difficulties. This may be due to traumatic events, overload of stress, or issues stemming back to childhood. Talking through such difficulties can help to validate and make sense of your feelings, work out how to heal, and move on with positivity and meaning in your life.

My clients struggle with their relationship with food and self, chronic health conditions, or a disconnection from their true self. They seek a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, aiming to align with their higher self and live authentically. They are often overwhelmed by societal pressures and external expectations. They want to overcome these influences, heal past traumas, and develop a healthy relationship with themselves and others. Their goal is to build self-belief, connect with their intuition, and live a life that reflects their true potential and inner wisdom.

I am an experienced psychotherapist using an integrative, person centred approach. Having training and experience in different styles of counselling means I can find the best approach to work with you and the issues arising. I hold the relationship between us to be the foundation of the work we are able to do. Being with you as you face difficulties will be a powerful part of our work together. Initially, feeling vulnerable with me can be a challenge in itself. But this can provide the start of change. I work with loss, anger, confusion, sadness, worry and other emotional injuries hard to bear.

I work with adults and young people (16+). My clients come for a range of reasons. I have experience working in a range of settings with clients who have different goals/needs. However, most of my experience is with clients who have experienced trauma. Usually this work is around supporting clients to work through or process the things that cause them distress, and exploring what living more fully or meaningfully looks like, so that they are less impacted by things that have happened in the past. I welcome all enquiries, and I welcome students and trainee therapists.

I'm an integrative relational psychotherapist and I use my experience of talking and relating to you in sessions to understand your way of being in the world, how you make sense of it and how you relate to others. Your journey is unique. Every time I've been listened to and understood I've come away feeling cared for and valued with a new sense of worth. I've learned that change is inevitable and that how I care for myself in the present affects my future.

If you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty adapting to the ever-changing demands of the world, or finding it hard to express yourself, you don't have to cope alone. I'm Ian Wootton, and I set up Flexible Mind Psychology to provide specialist therapy for those who feel disconnected, even when they are around lots of people, or who feel stuck in their rigid ways of thinking or behaving. If you are someone who is often assumed to be coping perfectly well, who doesn’t like to make a fuss, and who appears to be okay on the outside but is actually struggling on the inside, get in touch - I can help you to adapt and reconnect.

I’m a clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience of working with children, young people and families. I know how hard it is-not only for children and young people to navigate the world today-but also for us parents! I understand how overwhelming it can feel waiting to access much needed assessments/support for your child (or yourself). Take that first brave step and get in touch for a free consultation. I know that you/your child/teen most probably want to suss me out before you take the next step, so please feel free to do so! Hopefully I can put your mind at ease.

Life can feel tough and challenging at times. This may be following a specific life event, a change of circumstance, or for reasons completely unexpected or unknown. When we are struggling with something difficult we can often feel unhappy, confused, anxious or overwhelmed, with a sense of feeling stuck and unsure of where to start or what to do. Whatever your reason for accessing therapy, I believe that we all have the capacity for change and positive personal growth and that counselling can support you to bring about the change you want by helping you to find ways of placing yourself back in control.
