Counselling in NN29

I have been working within the field of mental health for almost 30 years, predominantly within the NHS, and have a wealth of training and experience. I provide both long and short term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and work to an exceptional standard of confidentiality. I work with a variety of problems and issues such as anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties. However, if you'd like to discuss what is troubling you, you are very welcome to call or e-mail me before committing to making an appointment.

Are you (or your child) facing difficult life situations, feeling in pain or are low and distressed? Or maybe there are issues and areas in your life that you wish to change or develop? Life can be really challenging, but seeking counselling can help you gain further insight into your situations, choices and sense of who you are so that you can find the best way forward for you. As a BACP registered person-centred counsellor, I can offer you a warm,relaxed, confidential space where you can explore whatever thoughts and feelings you choose to, all at your own pace and without fear of judgement.

Hello my name is Charlotte and I am a Child, Teen and Adult Counsellor. Are you, or a member of your family feeling anxious, depressed, lonely, stressed, in low mood or generally struggling to cope with life events? if the answer is yes to any of these questions, you are not alone and I would love to help you. Please contact me for a free initial assessment, either face-to-face, on the telephone or online, to see how you would feel about working with me, with no obligation.  I work in a non-judgemental, non-opinionated and empathic way.  We would build a therapeutic relationship built on trust and we would work at your own pace.

With 20 yrs Counselling and Psychology experience, I now seek to work with two main client groups. 1) Clients who've already reached a deeper understanding of their issues, symptoms & diagnoses (via therapy &/or self-help etc), but have found that these insights have not been sufficient to end their psychological suffering. And 2) Parents/carers/educators struggling with youngsters who can be violent, self-destructive &/or very defiant. These clients have found that traditional reward & punishment approaches fail to solve (or indeed actually escalate) the problem and are looking for an effective, trauma-sensitive alternative.

Choosing to have counselling is an important decision and deciding who to work with even more so. It is important you feel your therapist is the ‘right one’ for you - that you will feel safe and able to trust them and their work. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and helped people work though issues such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, trauma and relationship problems. I understand what it is to feel swamped by life and the struggles it can entail and I have many hours of experience helping others navigate a safe path through their issues. I am committed to helping you make the changes you desire.

I am a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist and Clinical Supervisor and have worked as a therapist for over 13 years. I am a Senior Accredited member of both the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MCS Acc.) and the National Hypnotherapy Society (MCS Acc.). I run my own private practice, Chameleon Therapy Centre and offer a professional and confidential Psychotherapy, Counselling and Hypnotherapy service to couples, adults, children and young people. I also offer a free initial 30-minute consultation to start. Appointments can be held face-to-face, online or by telephone.

Hey there! Welcome. How are you? Sometimes there are too many words and sometimes there are no words. Sometimes it’s just a feeling on the inside or a weight on the outside. Or maybe it is more identifiable for you... Perhaps you're stressed at work? Feeling lost in life? Going through big changes? Not feeling yourself? Struggling with your identity, sexuality, health, or relationships? Dealing with painful life events? Whatever it feels like for you, whether you can explain the feeling or not, I'm here for you and I'm ready to listen and you will be heard. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be happy.

I support people in finding hope for the future rather than existing in the past. Sometimes it can feel as though we are playing a role for other people, rather than being our genuine selves. Things can become overwhelming and feel as though you are having to face things on your own. You may be dealing with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression or grief. You're not alone. By seeking counselling, you are taking a first step towards having a better understanding of your needs and how to meet them, work through past experiences and feel more in control of your future. If this resonates with you, read on...

Hello, my name is Liz. I am a trainee counsellor and psychotherapist in advanced training. The modality I use is Transactional Analysis (or TA for short!). TA provides a framework through which we can develop an understanding of ourselves and how we have become the person we are today. It helps us to understand our relationship with ourselves (our internal world), and also our relationships with others, and our sense of our place in the world.We all have a script – a life plan made in early childhood that served us well at a time when we had very little power or control.
