Hello & warm welcome. My name is Kathryn, & I provide specialist, non-judgemental therapeutic support to help you to gain understanding & improve your emotional wellbeing, enabling you to move your life forward in a way that will help you to experience a greater sense of calm, fulfilment, & satisfaction in life. It may be that you are seeking this support for yourself or for your child because of difficulties such as anxiety, panic, stress, overwhelm, low mood, depression, poor sleep, anger, grief and loss, trauma, adapting to life following illness/diagnoses, behavioural issues, relationship issues or difficulties at work/school.

I fully understand how challenging life can be at times, and sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our worries can create feelings of anxiety and depression, which can in turn make us feel isolated, alone and misunderstood. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is on your mind can be incredibly powerful in enabling you to unburden and begin to heal. By being truly listened to, perhaps for the first time, I believe you can start to make sense of your experiences and find solutions to whatever is troubling you.

Would you like to wake up tomorrow feeling different from today? Are you facing a tough time, feeling stuck and struggling with confused and difficult emotions? We are all individuals with a unique way of being in the world. I work as an Integrative Psychotherapist, meaning I draw on various theories and approaches personally suited to your unique needs. The experience of being listened to non-judgementally, feeling heard and understood can bring deep relief from distress such as depression, loss, bereavement, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. Such greater self-awareness can set you on a new path with yourself and others.

I qualified as a Counsellor in 2001 and have worked within the private, public and voluntary sectors. I trained as a Counsellor in 2000 at St John's University in York and completed my Masters at the University of Manchester in Counselling Studies thereafter progressing on to the Professional Doctoral Program in Counselling Studies. Alongside my counselling experience I have many other additional qualifications and certificates of competence in a range of areas and I aim to help my clients with a competent, compassionate and empathic approach.

Hiya, I’m Lennie. Let me ask you this… how often do you wish your life was different? It’s hard to begin the change, which is why I want to help. I specialise in working with teenagers, but I also love to support their parents and teachers. Your life with family and friends should be enjoyed, not full of worry and uncomfortable feelings. Plus, steering clear of your triggers will only cause more roadblocks. Together, we’ll take the steps you’ve been avoiding to create a happy and healthy social life. We’ll gain back your confidence and control your emotions, so you can move forward with pride and a deeper understanding of yourself.

I am a graduate in Transactional Analysis Integrative Psychotherapy. Through this mode of psychotherapy, an understanding and awareness of why we are the way we are can assist us to grow, develop and change the narrative that may be keeping you stuck or struggling to navigate life, feelings, behaviours and relationships. I have been a practicing Registered Mental Health Nurse for almost 30 years now and through my experience of working diagnostically within the mental health system, I have come to recognise that beneath the labels and diagnoses, there are the experiences of life that only you have had.

Hi, my name is Sal. I work with people with a wide range of issues. Many people come to therapy because they are having a difficult time and want someone to listen to them, others want help in finding reasons why they are feeling this way. Sometimes people have more complex issues and need someone skilled and experienced to help them manage and work through them.

I offer Psychotherapy and ounselling which are often interchangeable and also Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for more deep-rooted trauma. By engaging in a therapeutic relationship with me, you are safe in the knowledge that what you say will be respectfully listened to and you will not be judged in any way. I work face-to-face and online, with individuals and couples. I am also a Registered Mental Nurse with over 30 years experience prior to qualifying as a therapist, so I have helped people with all degrees of mental health problems. My areas of interest are substance misuse, addictive behaviour and trauma.

Life, and our lived experience of it, is complex. Often times we choose not to look into this complexity for fear of being overwhelmed by unwanted truths and emotions. This approach may work for some of us for a while, however for most - life will confront us with pain that is difficult to ignore. The avoidance of this pain or reality is what leads to mental health symptoms and prolonged distress. However, life does not need to be so difficult. If you would like to make sense of your life and unique lived experienced in order to lead a more fulfilled existence, please get in touch.

It can be such a relief to share your worries and concerns about whatever is causing you stress or distress in your life. Sometimes, we need another person who isn't part of our family or friendship group. I am here to be that person, here to listen, understand and help you unravel those jumbled thoughts when life is feeling stressful. I offer a safe space and my experience of working with depression, anxiety, work or family difficulties and a warm, supportive, friendly and confidential environment. Don't hesitate to contact me for a chat together to see if I am the right person for you.

If you are experiencing anxiety, have family struggles, feeling sad or low, or finding the current economic or climate crisis overwhelming counselling may help. If you are struggling to process bereavement or loss, counselling can help. I keep you, the client, at the centre of the therapeutic relationship. Counselling can be daunting, and sometimes you may not know what to expect. Working with me, you will find a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space where you can work at your pace, and be truly heard whether we meet face to face, via video counselling, or Walk & Talk. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework.
