Lynda Malone
Psychotherapist, MIACP
Verified
As an Integrative therapist, I endeavour to adapt my approach to suit my client’s individual needs, preferences and goals for therapy. The core of my approach is a combination of Person-centred/Humanistic and Reality therapy. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding and compassion for the whole person, mind, body and spirit. Clients experience an environment of safety and confidentiality, where they can explore their life experience and challenges that are distressing them with acceptance, non-judgement and respect. I use Mindfulness as a therapeutic tool.
Laura McClean
Counsellor, Pre-Accredited Member IACP
Verified
Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.

Are you suffering from a distressing life experience? Perhaps you’re feeling alone? Depressed? Anxious? Does your life seem chaotic? Feeling like this is not unusual. Our bodies and minds send us messages to help us navigate life’s challenges and heal from these painful and stressful experiences. Learning to listen to these messages and learning how to use them is at the heart of our wellbeing.
Trish Banks
Counsellor, MA, MIACP
Verified
Counselling offers you the tools necessary to bring your passions to life and let compassion, kindness and fun be part of your experience of life again. My job as your therapist is to co-operate with and enhance your journey towards wholeness. This is achieved by lovingly offering skills and experience, alongside knowledge of the terrain of personal development and creativity. I hold the assumption that people generally have the ability to understand themselves, are clever, honest, self-directed and able to solve their own problems. I'm here to support that assumption by reflecting back the light I see in you.

Counsellor, MIACP

Everyone of us will experience difficulties at some point in our lives. For many people they may not recognise what has happened but will see changes in how they feel and even how they behave. It is not always comfortable to talk to those around us but this does not mean they are on their own. For many, counselling and psychotherapy can offer a safe and supportive space to take a look at what has been happening and facilitate necessary change to help us feel in control again. Life is busy - work, relationships, stress, illness and much more can overwhelm us but there is a light and nobody should have to endure difficult times alone.

Seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. There are many reasons why you might be considering therapy. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unhappy distressed, troubled and unable to cope. You may be feeling anxious, suffering with social anxiety and/or generally worried about your current situation, your future or both. You may be having problems in your relationships or grieving the loss of someone close. You may be struggling with an addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling or pornography. You may just want to talk and be listened to and that is okay. Whatever your reasons we are here to help.
Suzanne Hannan
Counsellor, MIACP
Verified
I never take for granted the fact that clients who come to counselling are at their most vulnerable. For those who are struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, abuse, both physical or mental, anxiety, relationship or sexuality and gender issues, my role in the first place is to listen and to provide a safe and confidential place for my clients to make sense of their experiences. Research has shown that the relationship between therapist and client is very important to the outcome of therapy, so I always check with my clients if they feel what we are doing in our sessions are working for them.

Psychotherapist, MSc, ICP

Taking the first step in deciding to attend therapy is often the hardest part, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the intervention of another to assist us on this journey. Coming to speak allows an individual to be heard in way that is specific to them, a singular , and not to fit the specifics of ticking the boxes. Speaking about your way of experiencing life and it's difficulties and challenges, can free up a person and allow them to look through a different lens.

Many people experience some form of disruption in their mental wellbeing at some point across their life and may need some extra supports when managing this. Perhaps you may have experienced something very challenging, upsetting or traumatic, recently or in the past, which you are finding difficult to process. Alternatively, you may be feeling tired, frustrated with life and lacking motivation for those parts of life from which you used to take enjoyment. Emotional wellbeing can impact greatly on varying aspects of daily life, hinder the ability to carry out normal daily activities and can cause conflict with those close to us.

Phoenix Counselling and Therapy Service
Psychotherapist, MSc, MIAHIP
Verified
I work and trained as a client centred therapist. This model of therapy puts you at the centre of your healing and I am led by your needs and work at your pace. Working with trauma or past childhood traumas can be painful and overwhelming and needs to be done at your pace with the support you need to examine and understand the impact of these traumas. Early childhood experience and trauma can impact on how we live our lives and how we feel about ourselves. How we feel about ourselves and live our lives can give rise to mental health problems. Awareness of these problem can lead to healing and improved self development.
