When we feel lost, stuck, or uncertain for an extended period, pausing and taking the time to understand ourselves can help us find clarity and direction. But sometimes self-exploration is challenging to navigate alone. I offer a safe, supportive environment to work with you in this process. I listen deeply and ask gentle and thoughtful questions that may encourage you to reflect and help you see yourself and your situation from different perspectives.

Life can be a challenge, especially now. As your therapist, I can offer you a secure and trusted space to bring your needs and concerns. I believe that therapy should lead to a “step change” where my clients become able to make an immediate difference to the way they think and their relationships with others. I work to build trust and empathy and strive to understand the world from your perspective. I can help you to understand that small changes to the way you see things can have a major impact on how you feel.

Hello, I'm Steven - a BACP registered counsellor working with adult clients (18+). I bring warmth, acceptance and insight into the therapy room. As your counsellor, I would help you to make sense of and work through your difficulties - with your autonomy and empowerment always at the forefront. Acceptance, care, attention and wisdom can be extremely powerful tools for growth. I endeavour to provide those qualities in order to empower you to get to a better place. For me, helping a client to overcome their distress, and helping them to start thriving in life, are one in the same thing.

Modern life is difficult and we can all easily find ourselves in situations where we are struggling. Perhaps with addiction, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, mood disorders or behavioural difficulties. Our mental health can be negatively affected. Research highlights that receiving counselling from a counsellor or psychotherapist, in a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space can help us heal and grow. Drawing on a range of therapeutic tasks, with you in control, we can move towards your goals on your path to wellness and good mental health.

Hi I'm Michelle and firstly, I want to say well done in taking the 1st step in seeking help by searching for a counsellor, it's not an easy step to take. Society is moving at such a fast pace that we don't take that time out to get a sense of our feelings about changes occurring in our lives, or to come to terms with other issues. We can often feel that our personal issues and challenges are not that big compared to other people's, however, if they are affecting your ability to live a fulfilled life then it is worth giving yourself space and time to process what is going on for you in your life through counselling.

There are very few of us who don’t experience some kind of trauma through the course of our life. Sometimes we need practical tools to regulate our system and navigate life, there are occasions when we need help to understand and make sense of our reactions and our feelings. When we experience trauma, it can be beneficial to have a safe place for our stories to be heard and our experience to be witnessed. For many people it is not about words but about exploring what is held in the body and the need to allow what has been stored to be safely released. Integration Therapy offers a holistic container, with space for body and mind.

I would like to start by saying that I have been where you are right now.  Anxious, "broken", perhaps very scared and confused with what's happening to you.  Battling with my own anxiety and trauma for years, I found great solace and refuge in my own therapeutic process. I gently invite you to view anything that is going on for you right now as a symptom. Your "bad" mental health, your "brokenness" your endless worry, anxiety, depression, and racing thoughts that won't let you sleep at night are signs that your body and your mind want to heal and they are asking for your attention.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s not always easy to understand why. You might be navigating difficult emotions, facing changes, or feeling weighed down by experiences that are hard to put into words. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, isolated, or unsure of how to move forward, you don’t have to face it alone.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
