If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to face it alone. Perhaps you appear to be coping on the outside, yet inside you feel anxious, self-doubting, or unsure of who you are anymore. I offer a safe, accepting space where you can speak freely, be truly heard, and explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Together, we can gently untangle what feels difficult, helping you build self-trust, clarity, and a stronger sense of who you are.

My name is Havana, and I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) therapist based in Stirling, Scotland. I work with adults (18+) in-person, and online.
Following my own experience of mental health challenges, I felt inspired to support others in a meaningful way. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences, improve your mental wellbeing, and find a way forward.
I believe therapy should feel safe, empowering, and be grounded in evidence-based approaches.

Hi, people come to psychotherapy for many reasons, sometimes those reasons are clear, other times they are harder to name. Therapy is not only for people who are struggling to cope, its also for those who are coping at a cost. Many of the people that I work with are stuck in circles of worry, doubt and overwhelm, believing that how they feel now will be how they will always feel. I will provide a safe space, begin to build a trustworthy therapeutic relationship where you can begin to make sense of your life and decide what you would like to be different. Please get in touch and together we will begin this vital process.

Hi there. If what you’ve been through has left you feeling unsafe in your own body, struggling with low mood, anxiety, trust, intimacy, or a sense of who you are, you’re not alone. Whether this comes from trauma, sexual abuse, difficult relationships, or childhood experiences, we can work through these feelings together, helping you feel safer, more grounded and more connected to yourself. I offer a calm, accepting and compassionate space where you can be yourself, feel heard and gently explore what’s happening for you.
Together, we can draw on your strengths, make sense of things, build self-awareness, and create lasting change.

Hi, my name is Sophie (she/they).
Difficult life experiences can leave us feeling alone, isolated, and that our struggles are a personal failing. This can lead to anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, overwhelm or grief, with little time or space to process these experiences and emotions. This is a lot for one person to try and sort through by themselves. It’s okay to reach out for help from someone willing and trained to help.
It’s not an easy thing to do, sharing your vulnerabilities, so how can we work together to create a space where you can explore these more uncomfortable parts of yourself?

Are you feeling stuck, anxious or low in some way? Struggling to comprehend certain life experiences, or wanting to understand yourself in more depth? I work with people to notice unhelpful patterns in life and explore ways to move forward.

I am a pluralistic practitioner, which means I was trained to adapt my approach to the person sat before me. I work with people aged 18+ on a wide range of issues that may be impacting them.

Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to get everything right? You're not alone. The constant push for productivity and perfection can leave you feeling drained, anxious, and disconnected from yourself.

My goal is to help you move from a place of constant pressure and criticism to a life of meaning and self-compassion.

Hello, I’m Rebecca. Perhaps you have tried therapy before and have not had a good experience. Maybe you have a diagnosis, such as ADHD or Autism and think that typical approaches do not work well for you.

I have accredited training in structured, evidence based modalities and bring with me a depth of experience. I specialise in supporting people who may feel that their experiences are layered, longstanding and difficult to untangle. I tailor my approach to the needs and wishes of each person I work with.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
