Hello and welcome! I'm Lesley and I support people to overcome emotional challenges such as depression and anxiety and the impact of challenging experiences . As a woman in my 40s, I know what it feels like to experience the emotional impact of perimenopause and midlife challenges. Hormone fluctuations and social factors can cause an increase in anxiety, brain fog, fatigue and all of a sudden a loss of the oomph you used to have. You work really hard on your goals but somehow feel stuck, as if you are going round in circles. You can't find the words to express how you are feeling and just wish you felt more confident

Hello and welcome. Are you a parent or carer? Are you worried about your child and need to speak with a clinical psychologist? At certain points in our lives, we could all benefit from the support and guidance of a therapist. I have over 20 years experience working with children and young people. I aim to give you helpful strategies that you can start to implement after I gather information about the issue/s you and your child are experiencing. If we both agree that the young person needs direct work/therapy, we can arrange this. Please visit my website to learn more about me or email me if you have a question or query.

Hi, I’m Tracey, I specialise in psychological assessment and therapy for women. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, pregnancy and motherhood, perimenopause/menopause, bereavements, traumas? As women, there can be many unique challenges and life transitions to face. Having a safe space to reflect on what's happening for you, to connect with the emotional impacts, and discover how you can learn to adapt is vital. It lets you build your sense of strength and resilience and ultimately, it encourages you to heal and continue to grow despite what life has thrown your way.

We can all have times in our lives when we find things tough, we can feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope or we may feel dissatisfied with our lives. This is how counselling can help. I offer a safe space where you can talk openly and privately about your problems, feelings and behaviours. We can build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. It is a non judgmental space for you to speak about issues you face, that you may not feel comfortable to discuss with friends or family.
