Hi I'm Carole, thanks for checking out my profile. I have always been interested in people, how we all experience our world, and how life events affect us. I understand that we can have difficulties with thoughts, feelings, circumstances and relationships leading to confusion, low self esteem, lack of confidence, stress and difficulty coping with life. The effects of the Covid 19 pandemic have resulted in more stressful situations, with less effective coping skills, due to isolation, bereavement, fear and lack of opportunity to look after our mental health as we previously did. I understand your experience is unique to you.

Is stress or anxiety holding you back, making you irritable and stopping you from being the person you want to be? Are thoughts about the past or concerns about the future overwhelming you? Is life getting on top of you or you're feeling low? I can work with you to help cope with the demands of work and home life, pocess the painful past so that you can focus on enjoying the present, build your self-esteem, be less short-tempered and equip you with tools that you can use now and in the future.

Hi, my name is Peter Clarke. Sometimes we just need to talk to someone outside of our circle. Someone who will listen to us and not advise us. Someone who will offer empathy and acceptance, not judgment and condemnation. In short, sometimes we need to speak to someone who will listen to us, and help us become the person we wish to be. This is the person i am to my clients.

Life can throw many challenges and sometimes we can get a bit stuck and not sure what to do to change the situation. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help but seeking some help is the first step to improving your situation.. Sometimes it is easier talking to someone out side your family circle or friendship group about an issue that is causing you or your family distress and instead to talk to a professional therapist I offer a free 15 minute consultation if you are unsure if talking therapy can help. Therapy can help build self esteem, reduce anxiety , improve relationships with family and peers .

Hello I'm Elaine. I started my counselling training in 2012. I am an integrative counsellor. Being integrative means I tailor the approach of counselling to what works best for you. Approaches that I use are Psychodynamic, Person Centred and CBT. Sometimes we will used an approach on its own or have a combination of a few. My experience comes from working as a crisis counsellor in the areas of trauma, bereavement, self harm and domestic abuse. I have a keen interest in working with trauma and have completed an (Hons) Degree using trauma research which I integrate into my work. All communities of people are welcome.

Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile. My counselling approach blends several counselling models which seek to develop a counselling relationship which is genuine, trusting and focused on the clients needs. There is a belief that each person can move towards a greater sense of meaning and purpose whatever challenges they are currently living with. I offer focused short term therapy.

We all struggle at times and for many, these struggles can become overwhelming. If day to day life feels tough, therapy can be a tool to support you in that. Therapy can offer a non-judgemental, confidential and welcoming place for you to explore whatever is going on for you. I work in a trauma aware and integrative way. My passion is helping people find healing from their past, bring clarity in the present and have hope for the future.

Life can be full of ups and downs and it can be hard to cope at times with the feelings of stress and overwhelm, as Jon Kabat-Zinn said "Wherever you go, there you are". I can help provide a safe space to explore and process any difficulties with the aim of improving overall mental and physical wellbeing.
