Hi, I am Theresa Acutt. The very first thing I will do is listen. I will provide a space where you are heard and supported, at your pace, so that you are able to move towards finding solutions that work for you. This space is a highly confidential and nonjudgmental space. During the session, I will incorporate a variety of evidence-based interventions specific to your individual needs. Imagine that in your session, you were to discover hope that something could change or a small step that showed you a way out of a situation, new perspectives, clarity, new skill, strategies and a better version of yourself.

I am a practiced counsellor, with a specialised interest in attachment trauma. The way our early life experiences create a blueprint for our relationships that may no longer be serving us in our adult circumstance.

My job is to build a comfortable and safe space for you to explore any issues that may be holding you back from creating the life and connections you long for in all your relationships, especially the one with yourself.

I help people in relationship distress of many kinds. I also help those beset by the fundamental conflicts of life, whether it comes in the form of self doubt, a sense of isolation or a sense of meaninglessness and a lack of direction.
