You may find yourself constantly battling unhelpful thoughts, feeling anxious or depressed and struggling to engage with day to day tasks and activities. If this sounds like you, it's important to recognise that help is out there. I’m Tom, a fully BABCP accredited Psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience supporting individuals struggling with a range of difficulties, including Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Social Anxiety and more towards healing and recovery.

Hello, I am Dr Kavita Deepak-Knights. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I work with adults over the age of 18, specialising in a number of therapies, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work with wide-ranging adult and older adult mental health issues, such as: anxiety, depression, addictions, low self esteem, personality disorders, adjustment issues, grief, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder - just to name a few!

Are you suffering from an eating disorder? Are you constantly feeling not good enough? Are your anxieties stopping you from living the life that you want? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or burnt out? Are you a perfectionist with unrelenting standards and highly self-critical? Do you find yourself sabotaging your relationships? Whatever your circumstances, I am here to help. ‘Tutum' is a latin word which means 'safe'.​ I founded Tutum Psychology to provide a safe space for people to talk. The scientific literature has shown that feeling safe in your therapeutic relationship is important in order for therapy to be a success.

I have over 20 years of mental health experience working in the NHS and in private practice. I offer cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). My treatments are guided by (but not restricted to) NICE guidelines. I have extensive experience of working with a range of difficulties including anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, insomnia, binge eating disorders and obesity. I will see clients for weight loss at a reduced rate and I am also a nutritional coach. Please see my website for details.

I believe that not a single person will live a lifetime without feeling stressed, anxious or low at some point in their life. Life can throw many challenges and during these times it can difficult to see a way out or that things will get better. Sometimes we experience these difficulties a number of times, or for a long period of time. However your difficulties present right now, it is important to know that support is available and that change can happen. You can use the therapy to develop your sense of self again, look towards the future and deal with life's stressors (relationships, work, friendships, health, career) better.

I work with people experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties. I have 20yrs+ clinical experience in the NHS & private settings. I work part-time providing Expert opinion in family and criminal proceedings. My training is in evidence-based psychological therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. I am able to integrate these models to embody a compassionate approach that is tailored to the individual. My specialist interest is in Schema Therapy, which is an integrative therapy that aims to treat personality & mental health concerns that do not always respond to other treatments.

Using therapeutic methods that have a proven track record of effectiveness, my clients often experience change and movement from the first session or two. Therapy is based on Best Practice and Clinical Evidence, utilising 25yrs of clinical experience. I previously worked as NHS Adult Psychotherapist, Adult Psychotherapist with Psychiatric Out-Patients, Professional Debriefing and Training of Addiction Counsellors, NHS Public Health Advisor and Director of Psychotherapy at Regents University.

( Family and Partners..

It is easy to find a counsellor but perhaps more difficult to know if you have found the right one for you? Will you feel safe and comfortable? Life events and experiences can be distressing, feel overwhelming and sharing these problems can feel daunting and anxiety provoking. I am an accredited, experienced psychodynamically trained psychotherapist/counsellor with some additional CBT training, that could offer you a confidential and non judgemental setting where we can work through any personal or relationship issues. You may be considering a short term focused therapy or some longer term psychoanalytic therapy?

I have a wealth of experience in helping people to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing. As a clinical psychologist I value the therapeutic relationship and think that it is vital to find a therapist you 'click' with. My personable, warm and empathetic nature has helped many people to overcome the difficulties holding them back in life. It can be daunting to embark on a therapy journey with someone - I am mindful of this and will help you to feel relaxed and comfortable when using therapy for your personal development.

Are you feeling anxious or low? In need of a listening ear? I can help you to explore what is weighing you down. I'm an experienced Counsellor and Supervisor working with clients of all ages - Adults, Children and Adolescents, providing a safe space to talk and offload. I am a trained Bereavement Counsellor, School Counsellor and Addictions Practitioner. I have extensive experience of working with personal relationships, common and complex mental health issues, suicide, complex loss, transitions, anxiety, depression, addictions, problems at school or work, family matters, cultural and disability diversity, faith and dual diagnosis.

I have over 14 years' experience of counselling adults/young people. I draw on my skills and experience to help you gain mental clarity over whatever brings you to therapy. I have seen so many positive changes with people feeling happier and achieving a greater sense of well-being. As we work together, you will discover more about yourself and how your life experiences, thoughts, beliefs and feelings have impacted upon your life. Also, we can look at your childhood/ past patterns to help you identify patterns, blocks to moving forward. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, to see if I’m the right therapist for you.

Life challenges can be difficult to navigate and, at times, feel overwhelming. I provide a safe, confidential, containing space where together we can explore what brings you to therapy.  Many of us go through difficult times and find ourselves unable to overcome feelings of sadness. Sometimes we are unable to make sense of why situations have happened in our lives, and some of these may be related to our past. My aim is to support you in improving your quality of life, whatever this means for you.

Feeling safety in a complex world is no mean feet. Childhood, historic, or current experiences, interacting/reacting with the complexities brought about by the pandemic, can exhaust any capacity for resilience. maybe you're a parent/carer of children transitioning from the intensity of lockdown to the uncertainty of the easing of restrictions? Is this further complicated by returning to education settings for children with Autism, ADHD, FASD, SPD, trauma and attachment? Maybe you are a foster care or adoptive parent wondering how to rebalance the attachment bond after the intensity of lockdown, recalibrating interfamilial dynamics?
