Counselling in GL1
Alongside anxiety, depression and ADHD, I specialise particularly relationship difficulties, survivors of trauma and/or abuse, boarding school issues and complex bereavement. I also have years of experience in the corporate sector, mainly in law and finance, and treat stress, work issues and burnout.
Whether you identify with any of these struggles or simply wish to explore yourself, the world and your place in it, you are welcome at my practice.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

Hi, I’m Chloe, an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist offering evidence-based remote therapy for adults and young adults experiencing low mood and anxiety.
You might be feeling stuck in patterns of worry, low mood, self-doubt, or overthinking that you can’t seem to shift. Perhaps you notice yourself comparing your life to others, struggling with perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or finding that stress has started to affect your motivation and confidence. You want to feel calmer, more in control, and able to move through life with a sense of balance and self-acceptance but you’re not sure where to start.

Hi, I'm Jessie, and for the past 10 years I've been working with clients right in the middle of messy and confusing moments, and often at some of the most difficult, painful and distressing times of their lives.
It might be that you've faced unimaginable loss or are finding relationships challenging to navigate. Maybe you're carrying years of trauma, or struggling with abuse or emotional neglect. Perhaps you're feeling lost, and not sure you even understand yourself sometimes - wherever you are in your experience of life, however tangled your thoughts or however hard your emotions, we can work together to find a way through.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or carrying emotions that have never been fully heard or understood. In individual therapy, I offer a space where you can explore your inner world with openness and curiosity. Together we can begin to make sense of these experiences, bringing attention to the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, silenced, or pushed aside. This process can help you understand long standing patterns, reconnect with your inner clarity, and develop a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Do you need a space that feels safe to talk about things that you have never talked about before? To talk to someone who is there to fully listen to you with no distractions or agenda? Sometimes life can feel in limbo and a change of direction feels hard to navigate, talking things through can help bring about the changes you want to see. Perhaps circumstances feel overwhelming and you need to consider what's going on and where you go next. Or has something from the past never left and needs addressing? Do you feel sad and don't know why? Maybe it feels like you are angry all the time? People bring this and more to therapy with me.

Life has a habit of bringing dilemmas, difficulties, and struggles into our path. It is just human to respond with hurt, shame, anxiety, or by feeling lost, stuck, and depressed. Psychotherapy can help you make sense of them and move forward. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, understood, and listened to, a space where you can be fully yourself, with no need to perform or explain yourself. The ultimate goal is to help you create a more meaningful life and explore new ways of approaching your relationships with yourself, others, and the world.

Maybe you’ve done the reading, the reflecting, even therapy before — and something still feels stuck. Perhaps your spiritual life and your everyday life feel like two different worlds, or you’re questioning what it all means. I’m an integrative counsellor working where psychotherapy meets spirituality, informed by over a decade of study with A Course in Miracles. Whether or not you have a spiritual framework, we start exactly where you are.

I’m an MBACP‑accredited counsellor with nine years of experience, based in Wotton‑under‑Edge. I became a counsellor because I believe that healing happens when we feel truly heard—my own journey taught me this. I work best in a calm, empathetic, and occasionally gently experimental way, always tailoring to each individual's needs.

There's always more to a problem than its headline, and that the foundations of meaningful change are in careful, critical understanding. I work with my clients to formulate their problems in all their complexity, and to develop focussed strategies for intervention. I often work with people struggling with low mood, anxiety, esteem issues, obsessive thoughts, relationship issues, problematic behaviours (such as problematic skin picking), traumatic experiences and unhelpful coping. I work responsively, realistically and pragmatically, according to my clients' priorities.

When the Past Meets the Present...
Sometimes a decision made years ago starts to weigh heavily when life changes — especially if you’re now facing health concerns or questioning the choices you once thought were right. This can bring up regret, self-doubt, or a deep need to find peace with yourself.
I offer a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings, work through the “what-ifs,” and rediscover your sense of strength and self-compassion. You don’t have to face the future carrying the weight of the past alone. Viktor Frankl "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".
