I have been practicing as a full-time Counsellor since 2002. I have worked in a variety of settings and for a wide variety of clients from young children to couples. I work as a Client Centred therapist helping clients find ways to live a more fulfilling life. Helping clients find out who they are, not who they are trying or feel they ought to be. I do a lot of work with children, students and young adults. I have also, since 2003, done short term EAP work in my private practice for a local housing association.

I have been working as a Counsellor for 9 years and have had experience working with a variety of different issues. I love to engage with people from all walks of life and understand that therapy can be a daunting prospect, so I try to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe to share your story. If you are looking for somebody who can help you understand where your struggles come from, as well as help you to develop tools to manage you current feelings and behaviours, then we would work well together. If you have a Christian faith and wish to bring this into the therapy room, then you can feel safe doing so.

There is a wide variety of reasons why you might be looking for a psychotherapist, but perhaps everyone wants to change ingrained states of mind, and to live in a rewarding and productive way. It's difficult, but the aim of analytic work is to get to grips with persistent problems. It holds out the hope of finding new decisiveness and flexibility in living.

Anxiety, depression, emotional distress, life's upheavels, bereavement are just some of the reasons causing emotional pain.

I believe everyone has the ability to find their way through tough times and heal and grow. I have worked with many different presenting issues in a sensitive and compassionate way. I am a person centred counsellor and will explore with you anything you bring.

Sometimes life experiences can become overwhelming and feel too much to cope with. This can lead to us to feeling worthless, vulnerable and isolated. Sometimes we need somebody who will listen to us without judgement to help us work through things to lead to a better understanding of ourselves and our experiences and sometimes just hold our hand whilst we sit in that darkness.

Things might feel difficult or even impossible right now. You might feel anxious, exhausted, or that nobody understands. If you feel shame, fear of acceptance, or as if you don't belong- you are not alone. My name is Angel, and I can help you reconnect to your own story so you can fully connect to others and the world around you. I help people see how their past informs their present. When you understand this, you become aware of new possibilities for the future. You can find new ways to connect with your loved ones, and to find purpose.

If you are struggling emotionally, feeling low, worried or overwhelmed with aspects of your life, counselling could be helpful to you. Speaking to a therapist is different to speaking to friends or family. I will listen to you attentively and help you to hear and notice things about yourself which may have been on the edge of your awareness. The therapeutic process can help you to develop coping strategies and a greater understanding of self that can ultimately lead to growth and change in your life.

Having worked in the NHS for over fifteen years; I specialise in Psychiatric care and Neurodiversity. As a Neurodivergent therapist, I have found from practice and my research, which evidences Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy; strong therapeutic alliance with my patients; there's reassurance, safety and a sense of belonging when working with someone who actually gets you! I have worked hard to ensure therapy caters to and adapts to our brains! Techniques such as eye contact, open questions, long silences, often made me and my patients want to run away, perpetuating a belief of hopelessness and helplessness.

I work mostly with men (16+) struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, OCD & trauma. I have a relaxed and informal approach, focusing on building a solid relationship with my clients that acts as the foundation for the work we do throughout therapy. Most of my clients are hard working professionals who are motivated to make changes to improve their quality of life. I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist and EMDR therapist. I also have training in other modalities (DBT, ACT and mindfulness) which I pull techniques or strategies from to tailor therapy to my client's needs.

If you're tired of battling stress, overwhelm, anxiety or if you're frustrated because you can't seem to be as productive or confident as you want, or need, to be then hypnotherapy can work amazingly well for you. Your subconscious is in the driving seat and while it tries to help you feel safe and survive, it can also hinder you too. Often we aren't entirely aware, at a conscious level, why we're struggling or stuck in self-sabotaging behaviour patterns. Hypnotherapy is able to reach your subconscious and work with it to correct course, allowing you to achieve what you want.
