I have had a diverse and multifaceted career, starting in education and psychology, proceeding with social work, therapy, and reached my goal and I am now a chartered counselling psychologist. What attracted me to a career in counselling psychology is it value basis. This embraces everyone’s uniqueness as individuals and different aspects of identity and therefore I tailor interventions to each person’s uniqueness. I target a range of problems which are highlighted in my therapeutic intervention’s pages, my areas of speciality are: trauma and neurodiversity.

Do you need a safe confidential place to speak openly, with someone neutral and non-judgemental? You may be looking to make some changes, or have a dilemma to talk through. Maybe you've lost a loved one or pet, feel isolated or stressed, or have a problem that's preventing you from moving forward. I work to understand things from your viewpoint, and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. I listen, understand, accept, and believe, and appreciate that talking about feelings is difficult. Being interactive means that you'll get much more than 'hmms' and 'uh-huhs' from me.

Hi I'm Avril, I am a warm and open person, described by many as easy to be with and talk too. I enjoy my family, animals and being out doors. I have worked on front line emergency services for over 20 years. ​ My life experiences have given me layers of empathy and understanding of just how complicated and difficult life can be on times. Talking therapy really did alter the course of my life, I made different and healthier choices for myself, that is when I decided to go back to college and qualify as a therapist/counsellor. Talking therapy can offer you techniques and tools to assist you to gain more control in your life.

Hi my name is Teresa. I like to provide a space for people to come and begin to explore why they may be suffering with anxiety or depression and how they can enrich their lives and navigate the challenges of life. It can be a fascinating and challenging journey to really know ourselves and I love to journey with people whilst they do this. I am a Christian and love journeying with other people who share that faith, or those that have any or no faith. I work online or in person.

Hi I'm Sam, Are you are struggling to live your life in a way that makes sense to you, are you feeling that somehow you just don't fit into your life and relationships, perhaps you are repeating the same patterns and it feels like you have tried everything to live a more content life, but you're still struggling to feel whole and accepted. Feeling this way can affect every aspect of your life including your relationships, career and your self-esteem.

Emotional well being is something we can often take for granted, and more often than not we do not take time to attend to our emotional well being until we begin to struggle to maintain a balance. You may just need some space to reflect safely and without judgement. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the pressures of life, stuck in a rut, repeating negative patterns, or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression. Maybe you just don’t feel able to share your worries and concerns with those around you? Maybe you just don’t feel like ‘you’ and would like to explore why, or you have feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

Play is a child’s natural language and as a therapist I support children when they play out difficult or upsetting feelings or experiences. Play therapy provides emotional support and can help children make sense of feelings which are often confusing and frightening. Play therapy can also help children to understand friendships or relationships that may be tricky and enable them to manage conflict more easily. Therapy starts with a meeting with the adults around the child so that I can understand concerns and gain an insight into the child’s history and support system.
