I have also completed advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Do you have concerns about your child’s emotional wellbeing? These challenges can be related to feelings of anxiety or low mood, or they may be behavioural challenges. When a young person experiences emotional distress, this can have a big impact on the relationships in your family, and on your day-to-day life. This can also lead to feelings of stress and exhaustion as a parent. Seeking Psychological support can be one way of understanding and navigating a way through these challenging times for your child and your family.

While studying a Masters in sport psychology I spent a lot of time researching mindfulness techniques which have been shown to help alleviate anxiety and depression.
Hi, I'm Scott, I help people to understand themselves better and improve their lives. Are you are feeling overwhelmed at the moment, anxious, lost, hurt, angry, traumatised, stressed? If so, I have experience in helping people with all of the above. I support people to develop skills and techniques which help them connect with their experiences and emotions. I offer a warm, empathetic, non judgemental space for you to clarify, explore, and process whatever it is you're finding difficult at the moment.

Having spent many years working with people who have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety including OCD, I have seen the benefit of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which is a Mindfulness-based behavioural approach.
Supporting a person towards improving their quality of life has always been at the heart of my therapeutic practice. When we are anxious, depressed, or when we're going through changes in our lives, we can find that we are not living the way we would like. Finding our way through this can sometimes be too difficult on our own. Your therapeutic experience will involve coming to an understanding of the connections between the past and present and developing a commitment to change where necessary.

I draw from mindfulness, Ayurveda, Eastern philosophies, behaviourism and existentialism.
People seek therapy for various reasons and I know how difficult that first step can feel. I also feel convinced that healing and recovery from even extreme forms of suffering is possible, in a fundamentally safe space with boundaries and willingness to treat the person as equal; with dignity, respect and acceptance. My key motivation as a counsellor is to see people flourish and live life to the full. I have cherished the experience of working with people from diverse populations & spiritual backgrounds. I aim to step into the shoes of my client, understand their feelings & perspectives and use the knowledge to guide our actions.

Hi I'm Charlotte and I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Practitioner. I feel strongly about working with people in a collaborative manner to form an effective working partnership in understanding some of the patterns that are keeping you ‘stuck’. You may currently feel trapped in a vicious and unhelpful cycle, uncertain of how you can break out of it. This can often mean that day to day life is really difficult, and for some people, this can get in the way of leading the fulfilling life they would want to live. I currently work with individuals from children aged 13+ through to older adults, as well as families and couples.

I recognise that & will provide an authentic, non judgemental approach to exploring whatever it is you might bring to therapy.

I believe a therapeutic relationship & trust are of key importance in therapy work & have a down to earth, but highly compassionate approach, often taking a trauma informed approach to counselling.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
