As an experienced and sympathetic BACP (reg) Person Centred Counsellor I understand it can be daunting finding a Counsellor and hope I can help. I have extensive training and experience working in agencies, schools and private practice with a variety of clients. Adults, Couples, Teens and Children helping with a variety of issues. These include anxiety and depression, relationship problems, loss, low self esteem, bullying, domestic violence and abuse.

I offer a warm, respectful, non-judgemental space in which you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I feel it is vitally important for you as the client to be able to feel safe in the Therapeutic relationship. To be able to trust me and not feel judged, to feel heard, understood and believed. I am Qualified in Person Centred Counselling, CBT Therapy,Clinical Hypnotherapy also Rewind Therapy.

Support, warmth, understanding and acceptance, together with a professional service, this is what I base my counselling practice on. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, frustrating, unfair...even cruel, throwing so many unexpected hurdles in our way. Struggling can be a lonely, isolating place and sometimes we need more than just talking with family or friends. I offer a calm, confidential, non-judgemental space to truly be heard and listened to in which you can explore your struggles or confusions and, hopefully, enable you to recover your own perspective and clarity surrounding whatever difficulties are impacting your life.

Are you feeling stuck, facing a challenging period, struggling to cope or just wanting to understand yourself better? Are you feeling lost, powerless and helpless? You might have experienced a life changing event such as bereavement or divorce and be struggling with knowing how to cope with the future. Are you experiencing stress at work, even feelings of panic? I can help you explore these issues and others in a safe, quiet and relaxing environment. You are an expert on you. I look forward to hearing from you if you’d like to work with me.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the emotional dysregulation that accompanies ADHD? Maybe you feel frustrated with yourself that you can’t seem to hold it together whilst everyone around you looks like they’re coping just fine. Does it get in the way of you building relationships, enjoying your life and achieving your goals? You are not alone in this. Hi, I'm Cheryl, a psychotherapist with ADHD whose focus is on working with individuals struggling with the emotional impact of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world. In our sessions, we'll collaborate to unpack this and work on emotional regulation skills to calm your nervous system.

Are you feeling anxious or unsettled, perhaps have a niggling sense of feeling stuck? Maybe changes are happening in your life that feel overwhelming? Whatever it is you are feeling, you are not alone.

I think for most of us, life has a tendency to become overwhelming from time to time and we can feel like the support we have around us just isn't enough. Try not to compare your struggles with others - it's important you acknowledge that your difficulties are relative to you and you alone. But if you're reading this I would hope you are already beginning to realise, .you are worth more than the way you currently feel.

Perhaps something has shifted in your thoughts/feelings/behaviour that’s uncomfortable, or maybe you’ve decided to explore a long-standing issue. I help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals either by discussing their current or past issues through counselling/psychotherapy or some clients also opt to have hypnotherapy with me too (you can read about that on my website). I offer empathy, confidentiality, safety and opportunity to explore their feelings in a therapeutic relationship. I'm not here to pass judgement or advise but instead I'm here to help you navigate the highs and lows.

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.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and it may seem there are no answers to your problems. You may feel ashamed, embarrassed or burdened to speak of such issues with family and friends. I am here for you to explore such life issues through talking therapy in a confidential, safe and non-judgmental environment. I am a qualified Person-centred counsellor, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Neuro-linguistic Practitioner which enables me to utilise a variety of different interventions to bring about positive life changes.

Hi, I'm Dr Damian Wilde, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with several years experience of working with children and adults in the NHS and privately. I work with people who have unfortunately experienced trauma and other difficult life events. Adverse events often lead to psychological health problems, which can be very distressing and detrimental to a person.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, scared, heart racing but unable to focus on motivate yourself? Are you struggling to understand your emotions, have a sense of panic or doom and don't know how to cope with the future? I can help you explore these feelings which may be due to burnout, bereavement, strained relationships. I can work with you whilst you are online at home, by telephone or face to face in my comfortable home.

I work with individuals, couples or families presenting with a variety of concerns related to emotional wellbeing, mental health and relationships. I have a special interest in working with parents during pregnancy, postnatally and supporting those whose children are under five.

This is the place I’ve created where together we can look at your unique path to creating your happier self. I offer person centred counselling for a variety of issues both in person and on the phone, this is a safe place to put the jigsaw back together and get an idea of the bigger picture of your life. As an integrative therapist I’m not here to judge you, overwhelm you with homework and goal setting, I’m simply here to understand you, empathize with you, and help hold the pain you may be feeling right now.

I have over 30 years experience of working with children, young adults and parents, firstly as a teacher and then as a therapist, supervisor and clinical lead within the NHS. Perhaps school feels hard; sticking to rules is tricky; making friends is a struggle - all of these things can be explored in therapy. I have a real understanding of how growing up can sometimes feel as if it needs to be navigated, rather than enjoyed. I also work with parents, appreciating the struggles (and joys) of life with children. I am experienced in working with neuro-divergence (ASC, ADHD). Alongside therapy I also teach counselling at University.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am passionate about what I do and I want to reassure you that not matter how you are feeling I will do my best to create a safe space for you to talk about you.

You may be struggling, feeling stuck and need a place to talk things through or unravel your thoughts, to gain some clarity or strategies to find a way forward. Talking to a counsellor can be helpful to gain perspective and insight into the issues that you are currently experiencing. Through the counselling process I have supported clients to develop or re-discover their self-belief, confidence or purpose and counselling can help to bring calm, balance or motivation where life may have become overwhelming. Feel free to contact me to see if I may be the right counsellor for you.

Hi, my name is Andy and I am a MBACP trauma focussed Person-centred therapist. I am a clinical Hypnotherapist and I am trained to use REWIND, a therapeutic technique used to help overcome trauma and PTSD. I offer an empathetic, warm, safe environment in order for us to be able to build a trusting therapeutic relationship for you to be able to speak freely and explore your inner most thoughts and feelings without judgement. Within this environment, we can talk about the struggles you have faced and help you to understand what has led you to counselling.

My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that each of us carries within ourselves the wisdom and tools to initiate our own healing process, the therapeutic relationship then becomes a facilitation of a return to self. Through my own journey of recovery and successfully sustaining sobriety I have become a believer in being able to reinvent your life. To address addiction is often very difficult and takes incredible courage. But the gifts of recovery from addiction are tremendous. As your therapist I will quickly identify the causes, conditions and underlying concerns that are causing your pain.
