Seeking out the services of a suitable therapist can be a daunting prospect at the best of times. Perhaps you're currently undergoing a particularly stressful or distressing period in your life, struggling to cope with mounting pressures at home or work, experiencing feelings of sadness or loss, relationship difficulties, or unforeseen changes in your personal circumstances. Maybe you are seeking help with a mental health issue such as anxiety or depression, aiming to find ways of better managing your condition and its impact on your everyday life. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I'm here to offer you my support.

Sometimes we reach a point in our life where feelings of anxiety or depression take over. Together we can explore what brought you to this point in a caring, non-judgmental and welcoming environment. We will look for any patterns or early decisions made in childhood and work towards making new ones that work better for you. I have found that the journey of psychotherapy is a challenging but very rewarding journey of self-exploration, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

The relationships and experiences that we have, shape the way that we understand the world around. These can make us feel uneasy, and we need to think out aloud. Having an objective ear can help to better understand ourselves. This can be related to personal relationships, our working life, family challenges, life events and many aspects of the world around us. I offer a space that works ethically, and within the boundaries of confidentiality and safeguarding. I aim to support exploration of how challenges and concerns can be overcome in a collaborative way and at your pace.

As an integrative practitioner, I have researched and worked with various models and approaches over the years and have found a holistic therapeutic process increases the success rate of managing and resolving emotional difficulties. My approach looks at the past, present, and future, and therapy offered is tailored to your unique experiences and needs. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy and I base my relationships with clients on collaboration, trust and partnership. I am dedicated in helping you each step of the way and understand how daunting therapy can be especially for first timers.

Hello! My name is Juan and I come from a family with a long history in traditional Chinese medicine and I firmly believed in the unity of the mind and body. I work in an integrative, creative and relational style which draws on Eastern philosophy, western psychotherapy and psychological knowledge related to your issues. My aim is to provide therapy tailored to your needs and your goal, not only addressing pain, loss, longing, emptiness and unworthiness, but also your inner realm and peace. I have worked professionally in NHS and private settings with an excellent recovery rate and positive feedback.

Are you struggling with difficulties in your life and need some help? Would you like to improve your personal relationships? Do you want to talk to someone in a safe space without being judged? If so, I offer professional counselling for children, teenagers, adults and couples. I know from my experience that the world can be a stressful place and our daily lives can challenge us emotionally and physically. It's this personal experience combined with my professional training that has shaped my therapy practice.

Our CBT therapists are mental health professionals with an additional Post-Graduate degree specifically in CBT. Accredited as a BABCP practitioners we help people achieve their therapy goals in the widest context.

We all need someone to talk to, and to be heard. I provide counselling to individuals in a safe, relaxed environment where we explore any issues you bring to the session together. My counselling experience is very diverse and I have supported a range of clients in various settings. I follow a person centred approach being very client focused, with the ability to adapt to other counselling models, which will be unique to each person.

Are you struggling to communicate with your partner, manage arguments, get over a break or discovered an affair? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, work related stress, PTSD, bereavement, or lack of self esteem. I work integratively, using different theoretical models to support my clients,including EMDR. EMDR is proven to be effective for clients experiencing PTSD, flashbacks and nightmares. I am also experienced in working with clients with eating disorders.

Do you feel like you are holding yourself back, putting yourself down and not living the life you really want? Would you appreciate discovering how to be your “real self” without putting on an act and learning to like and respect yourself? I work with people who have identified that they have feelings of low self-esteem or low confidence and want to make changes so that they can live their lives in the fullest way possible.

I work with adults (18+), and with older adults (60+), on various issues such as anxiety, depression, life cycle and other transitions, relationships, spirituality and racial issues, and more. Yet perhaps what you are feeling or struggling with does not have a clear title or category. Perhaps a sense that something is a little "off", or could be better, is what is urging you to seek someone to speak with.

I have been working with families, children and adults who have presented with moderate to severe mental health difficulties and emotional distress. I am also interested in trauma and the treatment of self-harm and suicidal behaviours. Over the years, I've supported young people and adults with histories involving early traumas, abuse and neglect. I am qualified in assessing and treating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, eating disorders, attachment disorders and broken relationships.

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and have completed a degree in Psychology and primarily practice cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Whilst many of us have supportive family and friends who can help with difficulties we face, at times, the closeness of these relationships can detract from our personal journey of growth and discovery. Whilst I appreciate that the thought of counselling may be a difficult step, we will walk the journey together. Offering a neutral perspective throughout sessions, we will explore any issues you wish to share. Providing a therapeutic relationship with honesty and empathy, we will look into any difficulty within a non-judgmental and confidential space at a pace which enables thorough reflection and scope for change.

When emotional problems arise it can be difficult to know where to turn and pressures to cope can leave us isolated and desperate. There may be people around who offer their time but feelings of shame and fears about their response can make it difficult to make use of them. It might be that there is no-one there to speak to and problems originating in the past are getting in the way of you finding satisfaction in life. Traumas remain unprocessed and present themselves in everyday life. Psychotherapy is a way of exploring oneself and relationships to try to make sense of the patterns and issues that are blocking you.

I offer a space which is safe and non-judgemental where we can explore together what is happening with you and in your life that has left you feeling anxious, depressed, sad, low in self-esteem, empty or distressed and not knowing why. Through working together we will try to understand how these feelings are manifesting in your life - be it through addiction, social anxiety, eating disorders, discomfort in your body image, destructive relationships.

I explore practical strategies that support individuals, couples and families deal with stress, anxiety and challenging situations. I delve into the root causes of your symptoms and experiences that have contributed to your current feelings and behaviours. Through a supportive process you will gain new insights into your situation and acquire new skills to help you cope and move forward. Psychotherapy is relaxed, confidential and takes place in a safe and friendly environment. Should you feel apprehensive about your first or subsequent sessions, you are welcomed to bring a friend, parent or partner to the appointment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression or bereavement? Maybe you've lost your confidence or life feels hard, or you feel stuck in some way? Perhaps you have health or relationship difficulties? Whatever it is, I offer warmth, understanding and a focused approach aimed at helping you to get your life back on track. Together we will explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions, past or present, or any ongoing worries about the future.
