I can listen and offer you support based on your needs and in line with your goals and values. If you are feeling stuck in work or relationships, have parenting concerns, are lonely, anxious or stressed, I can help you. Together we can come to understand how you have got to where you are and what we can do to help move you forward. This will differ for everyone and will be based upon a thorough assessment of the presenting difficulty. Often feeling heard and understanding a problem is the first step to improvement. We can then build a tailored intervention that will meet your needs and we will review this regularly as we progress.

People from all walks of life seek therapy for many different issues. Sometimes there is a specific reason but in some cases the immediate cause of distress is less obvious. People have contacted me when struggling with emotional problems such as: • Feeling stressed or anxious • Coming to terms with losses such as bereavement, separation, divorce or the loss of a job • Lacking confidence, self-esteem or having feelings of not reaching full potential • Difficulties in making or maintaining good relationships • Repeatedly becoming involved in destructive or unsatisfactory relationships • Feeling depressed, sad or empty

I offer both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy to adults concerned about their mental health or simply wanting to find a firmer footing in their lives
Karen Bradley
Psychotherapist, MA, MIACP

I’ve always had a natural curiosity about people and an empathy for others which is most likely the reason why I chose to work in the area of Counselling and Psychotherapy. There is something very special about witnessing someone grow and develop their understanding of themselves. The therapeutic relationship formed with clients is one I hold with high regard and is both a delicate and powerful piece of our work together. My hope in our sessions is to facilitate a safe space for clients to heal and integrate all parts of themselves.

Serenity Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, MIACP

Psychotherapy facilitates people who wish to go on a self-exploratory journey to increase self-awareness. It also is a safe, non-judgmental space for people to process grief and loss, boost self-esteem, relationship issues, sexuality/gender concerns and to safely heal from trauma. My philosophy as a therapist is to treat each person with uniqueness and unconditional positive regard. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life and my job is to act as the guide or a facilitator of this journey. To help the client find their real self and to empower individuals to be true to their unique authentic person they are.
