Offering a safe and secure private studio space and also online and telephone sessions where you can explore thoughts and feelings not only through the medium of art and creativity, but also through spoken communication in an non judgemental and welcoming environment.

Life can feel difficult at times, whether this be at school, home or work. This can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, low mood/depression, anxiety, loss, grief and significant life transitions Whether you’re a young person or an adult having someone to talk to/ off load confidentially might be the support you need. I am a friendly, professional and qualified therapist working face to face, online or over the phone providing you with warmth and support for you to navigate your way through any difficulties- without judgement. My work is also trauma-informed and part of the work we can do is to become more self aware.

It's tough knowing how best to support your child. I'm an accredited counsellor and supervisor helping children and young adults (4-25), parents and families with issues such as anxiety, depression, school avoidance, and more complex challenges. I am also Barnardo's child-related adoption trained (Ofsted registered). I use a creative approach to help children and young adults tackle the challenges of education, friendships, and identity. We will work towards a greater understanding of the difficulties you are experiencing, exploring solutions and fostering wellbeing for the whole family.

Hi, life has been trying for most of us in the last few years and we can find ourselves facing situations, that in the past we dealt with reasonable ease but now can seem difficult to resolve. Are you struggling with bereavement, loss, relationship issues, worries, repetitive thoughts? Or do you just need a safe place to be and reflect; being able to talk things through with someone impartial and non judgemental, to listen to you, to find a solution to the issue you want to resolve.

I specialise in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, cultural issues, work-related stress, and living with illness. We all face times when we feel confused, stuck or unsure about what to do. During these difficult or uncertain times talking to someone who listens, yet has distance from the issue, can really help. Asking for support is not a sign of weakness. It takes courage to focus on ourselves so that we can find solutions, make changes, and move forwards. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental, confidential yet proactive therapy in a safe and supportive space. I work in the evenings and weekends.

Do you feel you never fit in? Are you autistic, Aspergers or ADHD, or suspect you might be? Or perhaps you are a loved-one to someone who is? Do you struggle with socialising, making friends and coping with work colleagues? Do you wish you could just be yourself, without having to try so hard all the time?

Hello.  My name is Karen and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, low self-esteem, trauma or perhaps you are just feeling distressed and you don’t know why. It may be that you are struggling to cope with something that has happened in your life. I can help guide you through times of difficulty towards a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings, thoughts and behaviours as well as identifying ways of finding your own solutions to problems. Whatever you bring to the session is what we will work with as the sessions are led by you, the client, and not me.

Whether you are struggling with emotions, relationships or physiological symptoms of anxiety or depression I can offer a safe space to explore these. You may be struggling to understand why things are so difficult, and may be very critical of yourself, thinking you should be coping better. You might have experienced a traumatic event, or always felt that you don't quite fit in, blaming yourself. You might be in a couple or a family unit struggling with arguments or disconnection from each other. You might just want to re-think your values and life goals to shift your future focus to something more rewarding.

I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in Sandy Bedfordshire. I offer one to one counselling and psychotherapy. My training was Integrative/ Transpersonal which means I learnt all the different Psychotherapy Theories and approaches in my 5 years of training. The great advantages of this training is you can tailor my work to suit each individual person best. I also work with couples & families as well as running one-to-one psychological Retreats offering.

Trauma Therapist & Hypnotherapist. Do you have a history of trauma? Are you suffering from overwhelming and confusing emotional and/or physical symptoms? Maybe you are dealing with panic attacks and a nagging sense that ‘something is wrong’ or perhaps you’re getting angry for no reason and pushing everyone away. You may also be overthinking everything, doubting yourself, not knowing who you are anymore. Trauma can show up in many different ways, all of them exhausting and debilitating. Sometimes we know what the cause is but often comes from a deeper, less obvious place so we may need support and guidance to process and heal.

Are family dynamics causing you stress? Perhaps you need a space where you can explore how you REALLY feel; away from the expectations set by your family. Is there an unwritten rule in your family that you must not speak about problems or bad behaviour? Does this leave you feeling silenced and frustrated? If you're looking for someone who understands these struggles because they've lived it too, then I might be the right therapist for you.

I am a CBT counsellor and coach who can help you to navigate life's challenges and transitions in a supportive, non-judgemental way. I understand that you want to feel good again soon and start living your life more joyfully. We'll work collaboratively towards breaking free of negative thought and behaviour patterns to make positive and lasting change in your life through learning new coping skills and techniques. CBT is a proven and powerful way of creating sustainable and lasting behaviours. I incorporate my experience of both counselling and coaching to support you in your personal life and with work-related stress.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or struggling with low mood and anxiety? perhaps you are trying to overcome the effects of long-term trauma or bereavement, or perhaps you feel you aren't living the life you want. Whatever your reasons, counselling can really help you achieve positive changes in your life as you develop a greater self-awareness and understanding.
