I became a therapist because I am passionate about people and improving as well as enhancing mental wellbeing. I understand that life can be a challenge and at times it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I want to assure you that you do not have to go through life’s struggles by yourself. I am here for you and I am here with you. With your permission, I would like to come besides you and help you explore and discover events, thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour and together support you to make changes.

I am a BABCP accredited CBT/REBT therapist supporting adults with anxiety and depression. Whether anxiety is a new problem or something someone has grappled with for a long time and whether anxiety is specific such as OCD, GAD, social anxiety, panic, health anxiety and phobias or a sense of unease, the evidence-based and solution focussed approach of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help. I also support clients with low mood, depression and emotional problems such as anger, shame, guilt and low self esteem. Sometimes clients are not sure which way to turn or feel stuck; both CBT and REBT can help you to clarify a way forward.

I know making the first step into counselling can be difficult but I am here to help you feel comfortable and safe, so that we can explore making changes to what is going on for you right now. I am not the counsellor that will just nod and smile, I will question and encourage you to explore what is going on for you.

My goal is to support you so that you feel empowered to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I’ve worked in a range of NHS mental health services in the UK for over 30 years with the last 15 years being in an NHS Talking Therapies service in London. I am open to working with people experiencing Depression and Anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety, OCD, PTSD, etc, as well those with difficulties related to self-esteem and body image. More recently a focus of my NHS work has been on adapting therapy for neurodiverse individuals, and I look forward to bringing this into my private work.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and you might be dealing with emotions or situations that feel too heavy to carry alone. Whether it’s anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or unresolved past experiences, I understand how isolating and confusing these feelings can be. As an integrative counsellor, I want to acknowledge how hard it is to take the first step in reaching out for support. You might be wondering if therapy is right for you, or if anyone could really understand what you’re going through. I want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you don’t have to go through this alone.

Sometimes life can be tough and worries can become too much for children, young people and the adults in their lives. A child and adolescent trained psychotherapist can listen carefully and think together with each person to help make sense of the difficulties. Research suggests that psychotherapy has longer term effects and that even when you finish you will have a memory of your therapy and your therapist which does not go away. Psychotherapy is not just about clearing up symptoms but is concerned with overall long term development for all.

People seek counselling for many different reasons. Often it's because they are struggling to resolve something in their life, their relationships or themselves. They may be feeling stuck, weighed-down, confused, anxious or depressed. Whatever the reason, I see counselling as an opportunity to explore this in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental relationship. Through exploration, self-understanding and awareness, we can increase our capacity to be in healthy relationship with ourselves and other people. This broadens our self-perception, increasing our ability to respond in our lives in healthy, flexible ways.

I have come to counselling and psychotherapy as my second career after spending over 25 years in the corporate sector as part of the human resources function for global technology companies. My desire and ability to connect with people combined with a quest to find deeper meaning in my work led me to retrain and find my true vocation. I have navigated challenging life experiences and have grown and found peace through my own personal therapy. I’m versatile in my clinical approach, drawing from a rich theoretical foundation having trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist.

Hi, I’m Haleigh. I know that when life feels hard, talking to someone can seem overwhelming. Sometimes, it might feel like you don’t know where to start, and that’s okay. Working together, my aim is to give you the safe space with no judgement to be able to open up and talk about what’s been happening for you, at your own pace. I'm here to listen. I am experienced in working with young people and adults, and offer sessions over Zoom. Note - please do check your junk folder if you are waiting for a reply from me - some inboxes tend to send e-mails there in the first instance. I generally get back to enquiries within 2-3 days.

Therapy can be a daunting process, not knowing where to start, not knowing what therapist is right for you, and not knowing exactly what you need. A non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic space, to talk about the things that are currently challenging you at present, might be a good place to start. Therapy is about guiding you through life's most difficult moments, past and present in a safe and conducive space. If you are struggling as an individual or as a couple, I can provide appropriate support. You're not alone and well done for taking such a courageous step.

I am, Karen, a qualified counsellor who practices using Person Centred and Psychodynamic therapies. I provide a confidential space for you to be accepted as you are. We work together to explore what you want to achieve in therapy. This may initially be unknown, so we work to clarify and explore, to discover anything that is concerning or causing you unrest/stress. The calm, quiet and confidential space I offer, provides a sanctuary where self-awareness may increase, and personal growth can happen.
