Counselling in ST19

I have extensive experience of working with adults experiencing psychological difficulties including phobias, anxiety, work related stress, dealing with changes in physical health, depression, grief and loss, anger and trauma. I have a particular interest in working with clients presenting with work related stress and anxiety. I am trained in a variety of therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, (EMDR), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

I am passionate about working with adults and have over 20 years experience working with people in distress. I have experience of working with people with a range of emotional and mental health problems, including complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem and psychosis. My aim is to help people take steps along their journey of recovery to a healthier and happier future where people can truly begin living the life they want to live. I work in an integrative way enabling me to work with people to develop a therapy plan which is most likely to help them make positive steps towards their therapy goals.

For me, Psychology is about making a difference to people's lives, no matter how big the current difficult that they are experiencing; and to support them in reaching their goals. I enjoy working with people with physical health difficulties who may be struggling to adjust to a new diagnosis, or change in symptom. I also enjoy supporting people to recognise what they are already doing well and how this can help them. I enjoy working with children and adults.

I am an integrative therapist offering a complimentary model of therapy that provides insight into a persons life. I believe that our experiences affect the way we behave and relate to others and this can sometimes create distress and conflict within us that impacts on the way we live our life. What I offer is a safe, private and confidential environment to explore in depth the cause of your distress.

Hi I’m Ann. Do you find your heart racing every time you are reminded of an incident? Do you wish you could leave your trauma in the past but it keeps interfering with your life? Do you still have nightmares or flashbacks that leave you terrified? If this sounds familiar you are not alone. Over the past 12 years as a mental health professional in the NHS and charities I have helped many clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, low mood, grief and low self-esteem. To better help them I became an Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner and completed a postgraduate diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy.

Hi, I am a medical doctor with over 14 years experience as a doctor but also a therapist in therapies that focus on the mind body connection. I work with issues with self esteem, confidence, insomnia, imposter syndrome, work and personal relationship difficulties, fears, phobias, smoking cessation, difficulties with weight, chronic pain, narcissistic abuse, trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD. My training includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Level 3, Brainspotting Level 3 and BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy).

Hello, my name is Dr Joanna Saddington. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2006. Before setting up in private practice I worked in the NHS for 18 years. I am passionate about helping adults, young people, children and families overcome their difficulties. We all know life can be challenging, so it doesn't matter whether a problem is longstanding or is more recent. What is important, is that we work together to try to solve it. I always aim to work in a way that suits the individual and their needs, as well as aiming to deliver therapy empathetically and without judgment.
