The core of my practice is the therapeutic relationship, I will respect, support, and hold an honest empathic space for you where we can explore and understand your feelings. Perhaps there are feelings of not fitting in, a round peg and square hole may come to mind, anxieties and depression may feel normality and a wanting to change.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. Reaching out for help and support can be a really hard first step to take. Well done for that. The therapy I offer is all about the client and what support they feel they are looking for. I will listen to you and offer you that safe space to think about things that are affecting you now or from the past. I will support you as the unique and individual person that you are and help you to unravel some of those things that have been impacting on you. I offer a free 30 minute session to see if you feel comfortable talking to me and to make sure that you feel safe.

Mental health doesn't have to be scary! I want to take the fear out of mental health and first help you understand your own...what makes you tick and what's stopping you from ticking? When we understand how to manage our mental health, we can structure our lives to fulfil us in the long and short term. Whatever you're struggling with right now, we will work to uncover that sense of self you might have lost.

Finding a counsellor can feel a daunting prospect, especially when feeling at your lowest ebb, navigating life's challenges, difficulties and the painful emotions these can bring. As an integrative therapist I will adapt my therapeutic approach to best suit your needs. I can offer you a safe space to explore these emotions and situations causing you most distress. In developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore what is impacting your wellbeing most, identify changes you wish to make and set realistic and achievable goals to work towards healing and growth, leaving you feeling empowered, stronger and more confident.

Hi, I'm Neil. I appreciate that life can sometimes feel difficult, stressful and overwhelming. Many of us struggle with relationships, responsibilities and the pressures of balancing our work and home lives. Sometimes you may feel anxious or depressed without understanding the reason why, or have experienced an event that you're struggling to work through. Maybe you just feel flat or unmotivated, or perhaps you're finding life hard to face after losing someone close to you. If any of this resonates with how you feel, I can help you.

Hi, I'm Matthew and I am a Family & Couples Psychotherapist. I have worked with children, families and couples for over 20 years, helping them manage their emotional health and wellbeing.

I have helped children, young people and their parents and couples work through a range of difficulties including managing challenging behaviour, Autism, social and generalised anxiety, sleeping difficulties, anger management, frequent family clashes, the effects of couple tension, bereavement, and conflict in relationships.

Have you had experiences in your past that are bubbling to the surface and affecting your day-to-day life? Are traumatic memories and experiences making relationships with yourself and others difficult or complicated? Do you feel a loss of control or have consuming negative thoughts about yourself and what others may feel about you? Whatever brings you here, my counselling space is for you to explore and express how you feel without judgement and in confidence. Reaching out and talking through your experience can help you to process thoughts & emotions, begin to make goals and move towards developing a life where you will thrive.

I have been practising counselling and psychotherapy in North Wales since 2010. I have been working with a diversity of clients who come to see me about anxiety, stress, depression and low mood, and addictions. During this time I have developed a speciality in trauma: this might be experienced as PTSD - however one understands it, this can be an event or series of events that just will not leave the person alone, will not give them peace. I have learned methods and interventions that help clients to effectively get over this and the other issues that I have mentioned above. I have just started working with BUPA clients.

I work with a range of client experiences and concerns including; anxiety, low mood, addiction, bereavement, work pressures, life changes, behaviour changes personal growth, identity and relationship issues. I will use all of my training and experience to help you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences and work towards a resolution to the issues that bring you to counselling. I am an experienced BACP registered, accredited counsellor with 15 years+ experience, having worked in a range of counselling settings: primary care mental health, bereavement, sexual abuse and drug and alcohol counselling.

Welcome to my profile - My name is Cat and I'm an expert in developmental trauma and personality difficulties. These can lead to a range of mental health needs that I can support you with (like anxiety, anger, risky behaviours, psychosis...) and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use, relationship struggles, and on. My approach is to understand the 'why', to get the root cause of difficult experiences so that we know how to improve it. We will work on identifying unhelpful coping strategies and replace these with healthy ones so we can work on developing the life that you want.

There may be a specific issue you would like to discuss, you may be dealing with a significant life event, you may be finding it hard to cope with something or need to share something in confidence. I work across a broad range of issues with particular interest in the areas of personal growth; dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm; substance use as a coping mechanism, counselling for men and working with people experiencing issues around their identity and relationships with others. Whatever you need to speak about I offer a safe space for you to discuss and explore your issues at your own pace.

My counselling approach combines aspects of Person Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic Therapy. As a counsellor my job is to help you to both make sense of what is happening to you and to find a way to live with the challenges you are facing. I strongly believe that the best way to do this is to create a safe relationship where you don’t feel judged and can explore all of your feelings.

Hello, my name is Cornetta and I am the mother of an adult child. I grew up in a difficult home environment and experienced ACE. I am often asked why have I been able to stay centred and grounded. I laugh and say “I have made lots of mistakes and I am human!’ Reflecting on this, I feel it’s my ability to listen, learn, and reflect but most of all to look at my life with compassion, acceptance, openness, and love. If you feel I can be of service and help please contact me and read some more. I am an integrative addiction therapist and psychotherapist. As a result of working in different settings,

I am a qualified and accredited addictions therapist, and hold a post graduate diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I have over 9 years’ experience of working alongside adults with substance use disorders and behavioural addictions, psychological disorders and underlying psychotherapeutic issues. I offer a safe and confidential space in which to work through your presenting issues, whilst offering a supportive relationship alongside you to meet your goals of therapy. Addictive behaviours have a tendency to silence the person whose struggling, so a non judgemental environment is offered

Sometimes the world seems complicated and life feels difficult. Maybe problematic relationships have stopped you trusting yourself and moving forward, or past traumatic experiences keep you stuck with anxiety and fear. You might find yourself repeating behaviours and patterns that you really don't want to, but the path forward looks foggy and is hard to navigate. I seek to support people to find a way to through problems, to grow and make changes in theirs lives and relationships, and feel more resilient in tough times, as well as being more able to appreciate and enjoy achievements.

When traumatic or stressful events happen in our lives, we make sense of them as best we can at the time. Unfortunately, this can sometimes leave us with ways of thinking, feeling, and coping that don’t serve us as we move forward in our lives. If you are looking for a compassionate and non-judgemental space to revisit some of these experiences, and to explore new perspectives and ways of coping, I could be the right therapist for you. I work with people struggling with low mood, anxiety, self-harm, substance use and more to develop a better understanding of their experiences and work towards their preferred life.

When the pop psychology and self-help affirmations start to feel hollow, it might be time to consider counselling. I trained as a counsellor to gain a deeper understanding about the problems people were approaching me with when I worked in frontline services. Originally trained in Person Centred Counselling, I utilise a pluralistic approach which also includes elements of Acceptance and Commitment therapy: A third wave meta cognitive approach with psychological flexibility at its core. Two different approaches but nevertheless complimentary of each other.

The reasons that people may seek therapy are very individual and personal - it may be due to emotional problems, anxiety, depression, substance use, early life experiences, trauma, or because of a feeling that life has somehow lost its balance. Yet many issues and problems are embedded within our wider social and cultural context. Adverse childhood experiences and other difficult or traumatic experiences later in life can have a profound effect on how we view ourselves, our relationship with others and the wider world, usually leading to a mixture of vulnerability as well as resilience. Therapies such as EMDR or CBT can help.
