I am here for you for any other issue you wish to talk about.

We all experience times in our lives which feel overwhelming. It may be the constant dread that comes with anxiety, the inability to feel and pleasure in life because of depression you feel in the grip of a controlling behaviour. Whatever is dominating your life and draining it of pleasure, you can change things. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist I can help free you from this pain.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Kerstin, and I am Counselling Psychologist. I specialise in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, addiction, work-related stress, childhood trauma as well as relationship issues.

My name is Sam, I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I understand how difficult the decision to seek counselling can be through my own experience. You may feel unsure whether it's the right move for your child and how long they can continue to cope on their own. So many questions you may have, you may feel you and your child are a burden to family and friends and don't know who to turn to. Worried about returning to school/college or starting a new one, impacts of Covid, social isolation, family issues and relationships causing anxieties and stress which may affect day to day life, I can help.

I empower my clients to live an independent and fearless life using CBT and EMDR. By working with me, you’ll not only be able to cope with your past but also plan for a thriving future. We’ll achieve this by building a powerful psychological toolkit: a collection of practical techniques uniquely designed for you. These include relaxation, coping, assertiveness, resilience & stress management tools & a bespoke psychological roadmap (formulation). These tools will allow you to step back from triggering situations, notice unhelpful patterns in your thoughts, behaviours and emotions, respond mindfully & break free from old patterns.

It can feel like a big step to reach out when you feel you need support. Counselling is a personal, and can be, a life changing experience. I offer Humanistic counselling that is driven by you. We focus on your experiences and your goals and, whether you choose long term or short term therapy, I always ensure the core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard are at the heart of our work together. My role is to support your navigation of those experiences to support your own wellbeing. As an integrative Humanistic counsellor, you will find that this type of therapy is adaptive to you.

The last two years have been particularly challenging.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with stress or low mood, or perhaps long standing issues such as problematic relationships, traumatic events or difficult childhood experiences ? Do you feel stuck in negative life patterns or thinking? Perhaps you want to make changes but unsure how to start? I can support you to make the changes you want to see in your life and within yourself. I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the HCPC with 12 years of experience in working with individuals experiencing a range of difficulties relating to their emotional and relational wellbeing, both in the NHS and Private sector.

I work with individuals with a range of difficulties relating to both their relationships with themselves and others. These difficulties may manifest themselves in high levels of self criticism, low self esteem, poor self worth linked with low mood or anxiety amongst other issues. They may also manifest themselves in unrealistic expectations of self or unrelenting standards resulting in high levels of stress and burnout. I have extensive experience in working with trauma and the impact that this can have on both view of self, and on relationships with others including difficulties trusting others.

Hi my name is Pauline and I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist (full member of BSCH) and Counsellor (registered member of BACP) specialising in Addictions and the issues related to the addiction and the probable cause. When we are at the stage where we are googling Counsellors then this is usually because we are hoping to get the right person we will gain rapport with. The right Counsellor will allow us to open up completely about issues that we have been bottling up inside us for whatever reason. We want to be able to talk freely and easily without being judged by that comment or look that straight away makes us close up and squash those unwanted feelings and thoughts back down into their box again because, maybe, we feel ashamed and guilty. We want the issue to be dealt with in a non judgemental manner. We want that someone who will enable us to feel that we are OK. That it's not all our fault and will help us find a solution.

Life, either current or past, can throw up many challenges and difficulties that could be more manageable with support. Whatever may be troubling you or causing you stress or distress, talking therapy can be an important tool to help explore these issues and navigate a path to peace.

This may be the first time you have decided to seek counselling or psychotherapy, or working with me, may be part of an ongoing personal journey to enhance your life further. Unresolved issues can confuse, distress and disrupt your life, often returning time and time again, causing you both emotional and sometimes even physical difficulties, that can not only affect you, but also might impact on your relationships, work and family life. Some examples of how these issues might manifest, could include you experiencing; depression, anxiety, stress, angry thoughts, addictions, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, eating disorders

For many people, this is a profound way of bringing about positive and lasting change.
