Hello, my name is Jo… these are unprecedented times that none of us could have envisaged as possible. More than ever we may need a solid, safe ‘landing place’ to pause; finding some space that helps us to then move on. At ‘landings’ I offer that safe place to engage in a talking therapy or supervision via a video call or telephone. Qualified to post degree level, I am a skilled Counsellor and Supervisor, with many years’ experience of working as a University Counsellor and in a small private practice; trained to work with all areas of emotional and psychological distress in a person-centred way, attending to both psyche and soul.

I am an Integrative Counsellor trained in CBT, psychodynamic and person centered modalities. I can help you to explore issues that cause you distress and help you cope with life’s challenges. I have helped people with depression, anxiety, and specific issues including bereavement, OCD, and self harm.

I have experience of counselling clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, those who have suffered domestic abuse, sexual abuse,low self esteem and bereavement.

Hiya, I’m Mary, I help people to feel better about themselves so that they can get on with their lives Do You go through phases when you feel desperate and then for a while life is OK, but the desperation always returns eventually. You don't know what’s wrong but you have a fear that it’s you that is wrong; Maybe a counsellor will tell you you’re wasting their time, you’re just self-indulgent or weak or that you have some terrible mental illness, or maybe you do know what is wrong and talking to someone about it will make it all horribly real.

Identifying how or what we are feeling, or why we feel a certain way can be challenging and there are times when we know exactly what the issues are, although knowing where to start in resolving some of those issues can prove difficult and overwhelming. Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, gaining a better understanding of yourself and your experiences. Counselling can also provide you with the opportunity to find the tools and strategies to better manage, cope and self sooth from life’s difficulties; facilitating self discovery, self care and positive wellbeing.

Sometimes, as individuals we can feel overwhelmed, feeling lost, low in mood and confused. Often being told we should or should not be feeling a certain way which can conflict with how we are truly experiencing that feeling, situation or life event. As a Person-centred Counsellor I offer a safe space where you can talk freely without fear of being judged for who you truly are and how you truly feel. I understand that reaching out and asking for help can feel daunting, I am here for you. If you prefer the outdoors I also offer Walk and Talk therapy set in 6 acres of private land, where we can walk or sit a while.

I offer Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy to effectively treat depression, low self esteem, social anxiety, panic disorder, excessive worry, OCD, trauma, insomnia, and anger. During therapy you will learn to notice your negative thoughts and behaviours that can keep your problems going. You will learn to think in a more realistic, balanced way. With CBT you will learn skills and techniques to address your current problems.

Relationships are at the core of what it means to be human. If your relationship with your partner or your family is not working , then this can affect so many parts of your life. Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

My name is Mandy and I am an integrative therapist. My aim is to guide you to recovery. You may be taking the first steps in exploring the challenges that you face and this can be a scary and difficult decision to make. I will be happy to support you and accompany you on your journey.

You've come to this point because there are things in your life that you're not happy with. Counselling will enable you to identify those things, consider how they have come about and what you can do to change them for the better. You'll then put those changes into place and see how happier they make you. You'll review what's happened and decide if that's ok, or whether you want to make further changes. The direction, subject and pace of the process is determined by you and I'll help to empower and enable you to bring it about.

Do you find yourself unable to cope at the moment, are you finding normal activities harder to do. Are you withdrawing from people and things which you would normally enjoy. Does everything feel pointless and you are unsure how to find a way forward. Are you feeling more tearful and emotional than normal, are you feeling anxious and worried all the time, then please contact me so we can begin the journey to your recovery.

Are you a married mum who fears your marriage is heading for the rocks? Do you feel you’ve lost your connection with your husband and don’t know how to get it back? You want to figure out how to stay together. You just don’t know how. Something’s missing that you can’t pinpoint. And if you don’t know what’s wrong how on earth can you work out how to fix it. Splitting up seems the only option. You can’t imagine spending the rest of your life together. Which is not want you want. You got married believing it was your forever relationship. Unless something changes you can’t see how you can make it together.
