Our Therapists

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, tired and unable to concentrate on a regular basis – then I can help you. Since stress affects most of us at some point in our lives, it’s useful to recognise when you are under stress, what could be causing it and what you can do about it.

Hello, I am here to listen to you when you find life difficult to cope with. Together we can make sense of your experiences and find ways for you to learn to cope with for example: low mood, self-esteem, stress, anger, bereavement, life changing events like empty nest, menopause, retirement or other worries that concern you.

I am a trained Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I specialise in treating mood and anxiety based disorders such as Depression, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Generalised Anxiety, OCD and so on.I work in a sensitive and collaborative manner, enabling clients to build and reclaim their lives and ensure I am providing evidence based interventions.I also specialise in providing CBT and ACT based therapies for client’s suffering from long term physical health conditions and terminal illnesses. I am accredited with the BABCP and work with adherence to the NICE Guidelines (National Institute of Clinical Excellence). Currently, I am delivering Chronic Pain and management of Medically Unexplained Symptoms groups.Ultimately, I believe, there are few things as humbling and rewarding as being given access to a client’s experience and life journey. With this privilege comes an enormous responsibility to provide an integral space that facilitates exploration and growth and encourages a willingness to venture into difficult and uncomfortable place.

I believe that life must ever be a giver unto life. This belief drives me to apply my knowledge and experience to helping individuals and groups to explore ways of understanding their struggles and ways to living more resourcefully and towards greater well-being. I work with individuals, with adults and children, couples and groups. Over more than 15 years I have worked with people with a range of difficulties in both the NHS, the voluntary and private sectors.

I achieve excellent results as I work creatively and collaboratively with you, exploring together to find the best way for you to achieve a positive future. My training and experience has led me to know that I am likely to be able to help you with these issues. I am a Senior BACP accredited counsellor and have 20 years’ experience of counselling and supervising in both the voluntary and public sector, and been in private practice for 6 years. I am passionate about the work I do online as I know how many people I have helped. Working online offers you the flexibility to work from the comfort and safety of your own environment. The ability to have sessions with voice only, or in text, can often feel freeing and safer when sharing your vulnerable feelings; enabling you up to express and discuss your thoughts, feelings and concerns more openly. My counselling is based on a Humanistic-Existential approach, which recognises that we all need to find our own meaning and path in life. I will work collaboratively with you, helping you develop your self-awareness, and understand how you relate to yourself and the world around you. I work flexibly with the needs of the individual client, integrating appropriately from other counselling approaches; principally Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. I will work with you to identify your strengths, challenge unhelpful thinking cycles, and utilise your inner resources to develop new coping strategies and move forward in a more positive direction. I find the use of imagery and metaphors powerful in helping you understand your emotions and find a way forward; as a unique image can bring a tangibility and fresh way of viewing that emotion, helping you to find a new understanding, and different way to approach your difficulties, and relate to the world and others more positively. I am very aware that each client is, of course, unique, so I meet you in a way that acknowledges and works with the diversity within our counselling relationship. In this way I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental and trusting therapeutic space. I will have a regular reviews with you, to enable you to reflect on the counselling process, and decide whether you have got everything you need from counselling, or whether you feel more sessions would help.

I worked in the IAPT programme in two NHS trusts for 6 years, both as a low-intensity and high-intensity therapist. I trained at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed my training experience. My training afforded me the opportunity to work with clients experiencing depression, GAD, OCD, health anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD and social anxiety. Since completing my training I have continued to work with all these presentations, but my special interestis working with social anxiety. I have had training in working with those with long-term conditions and physical health limitations. I have been registered with the BABCP since the beginning of my training as a CBT therapist and continue to be a member. Iam currently provisionally accredited and am working towards applying for full accreditation in October this year.In November 2018 I had my first experience of working online to deliver CBT, through IESO. Initially, I found this took time to adapt to a new way of working, having traditionally delivered therapy over the phone, through Skype or face to face. However, I quickly came to appreciate the benefits of developing my skills in explaining things more concisely and eloquently to clients in a written format. I receive monthly supervision from my online supervisor at IESO who encourages me to use visual aids to facilitate client understanding. Other than IESO’s standard introductory training, I have not received any formal online training for working inthis way. However, I would relish the chance to develop my skills working on this platform

Want to talk through your problems, have someone to guide and be alongside you, listen to you and respect you? I have experience of working with people struggling with many different types of problems. I offer honest, gentle support to help you make the steps to change that you want.

Society’s understanding of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity is constantly evolving, and sometimes we may have questions about our own feelings and experiences. I’m experienced in working with people exploring their identity, expression and attractions. I want to help you live your life as your authentic self.

We are a bit like snowflakes, as we are all made out of the same material however when falling from the sky being exposed to different temperatures, we all form our very unique crystal. The same applies for us human beings. We are all unique, beautiful in our own way and have got everything that it takes within us, however our own stories, upbringing, experiences and challenges can make us believe and feel that we have to be a certain way, that we have to act in a certain way or that we have to become someone different. We all have our reasons for searching outside of ourselves for something that can only be found within.

Asking for help can be a scary and confusing process; however, now days there is less need to worry, as different forms of therapies have been tested over the years, and research now confirms that psychological treatments can either resolve or bring about change in a matter of weeks rather than years.I am a fully accredited by the BABCP to offer CBT, which is an evidence based treatment for all forms of anxiety and depression. I am also trained in other evidence based therapies like EMDR. I have over 8 years’ experience of working as a therapist in NHS services. This has given a wide breadth of experience and competence at working with most disorders. I have a particular interest in Trauma, and have had the privilege to work in two specialist trauma services. I have worked with a variety of presentations of trauma, such as victims of torture from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Iran, Victims of CSA and military veterans. I can therefore confidently say that I have seen and heard it all before.My overall philosophy is that change can naturally occur once some of barriers that impede it are removed.  In our session we will worked together to develop a shared formulation, and then use a range of proven methods to bring about change.

Hi and welcome!I appreciate that finding a therapist can be challenging and hope that my profile gives a flavour of how I work but do feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

My integrative training enables me to draw on a range of techniques, tools and approaches - depending on what works best for you. I work to BACP and ACTO guidelines and am trained to work in talking therapies as well as therapy using the arts. This includes written word, metaphor and imagery. I currently work in University settings, online for NHS/GP referrals and in private practice.

With a Master's Degree and a University Diploma I cover the scientific side of psychology. Add to that a realm of accredited courses to have a good repertoire of skills and approaches, such as ACT and compassionate mind.

Hello there, I am an Integrative Counsellor. Recently I became an IAPT counsellor for the NHS, working with depression. I profoundly believe that empathy and acceptance heals us. So I work in a warm, empathic, non-judgemental, empowering and boundaried way.

My clinical interest lies within using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) , a newer psychotherapy based upon how the human mind works. ACT has been clinically shown to be successful in a wide range of conditions. There are 2 basic aims of ACT, the first is to help you create a rich and meaningful life. To help you get back in touch with what is important to you, your 'Life values'. ACT then uses these Values as a compass to guide therapy goals. The second is to develop a set of skills to handle painful thoughts, images, memories, emotions and sensations more effectively, in a way that they have far less impact and influence over you. ACT does not attempt to control or cure your anxiety, depression or what ever is holding you. It attempts to change how you act in response to these thoughts and emotions. It means letting go of the struggle you have with your 'Pain' and to reconnect with life and develop the tools to achieve this.

Are you having difficulty coping? Experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety or personal distress? Struggling to manage difficult life circumstances or resolve longstanding issues? Perhaps I may be of help.

I have extensive experience working with complex childhood trauma, combat trauma, sexual abuse, rape, neglect, depression, intimacy/sexual problems, low self-esteem, sexuality, fertility, loss/grief, suicide ideation, self-harm, miscarriage, postnatal/antenatal depression, eating disorders, addictions, separation/divorce, stress/anxiety, panic attacks, GAD, BPD, career guidance… Working together I use insights and techniques from different theoretical perspectives including CBT, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, mindfulness.

I also support carers looking after loved ones with dementia and other chronic long term illnesses.

If you’re feeling confused, lost or overwhelmed. Perhaps something has happened - the death of a loved one, or some other event or loss – things are changing, or you want them to.

Do you suffer from the effects of Trauma?Including but not limited to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and/or sleep issues? If so get in contact. I believe for therapy to be worthwhile it has to be real and that is what I can offer you. A place where you can leave all the masks of your daily life outside our virtual door. I don't have sensitive ears and am not easily offended, infact I welcome those who are brave enough to be themselves and speak truly what's on their mind rather than feel they have to mind their p's and q's.

I have experience working with abuse (physical and psychological), anxiety, depression, bereavement and grief, depression, Psychological aspects of migraine and chronic pain, relationship issues, sexuality and identity issues, self-harm or injury, self-confidence and self-esteem difficulties and work problems. Transactional Analysis is the main theory underpinning my work. It includes a diverse range of approaches which help us understand how we become who we are, and how we grow and change through the life course, as well as how difficulties emerge. It can be very helpful also in working through difficulties in relationships or situations, to increase understanding of ourselves, and gain relief from symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

I offer time-focused interventions aiming to develop practical strategies to help you get your life back on track and achieve your goals.

If you're struggling with difficult feelings with your gender or sexuality counselling could be the answer. It can be hard to take that first step towards contacting a counsellor. But it can also become as a huge relief - just to share how you are feeling with a warm and empathic professional.Studying a specialist online training course has equipped me with the knowledge and experience to work as a counsellor online. Through my experience I notice that people often share their feelings and issues more freely online as they feel more comfortable and safe. This can be particularly true for trans, non-binary and gender diverse people as gender dysphoria can sometimes make it difficult to speak or to be seen on the video camera. You can meet me through typing instant messages or with/without the camera on. There is also the advantage of not having to travel and being able to have sessions from the comfort of your own home. All of these options can help make our work very powerful and effective.

Whatever is stopping you from living your best life, I can help. We can work together to help you reach your goals.

Life can be a struggle for us all and finding help a first step to getting ourselves back on track. I have helped many people with this journey and have experience in different areas that may match with you.

I have extensive experience in the NHS as a senior psychotherapist working in a specialist trauma service, I also have a private practice across Fleet st and Harley St. I work with trauma, addictions and sexual violence/abuse as specialty areas.

You may be looking ready for change. I specialize in trauma, abuse, dissociation as well as working with those who have chronic conditions. People like you can feel very stuck and confused and I can assist you in reaching a different place which is comfortable for you and those around you.

At times we can all experience life situations and events that feel very overwhelming. It may create feelings of anger, stress, being unable to cope with everyday situations, feelings of sadness, being low, frustration or powerlessness. Sometimes it may be hard to find someone to talk to who will understand and appreciate what it is that you may be experiencing. At times it may just be too hard to work out what is going on for you.

I am an experienced psychosexual and relationship therapist trained at Tavistock Relationships and Relate. I specialize in working with adults experiencing problems in their relationships and sex lives.

Thanks for logging on to look for help from the right person. I am relaxed and experienced at helping people online around the world. I specialise in helping clients with Depression- mild-moderate or severe, stress anxiety disorders: social anxiety, general anxiety, Panic, OCD, trauma, and anger. I specialise in addictions which might involve substance misuse, gambling, and sex.. I also specialise in dual diagnosis which is mental health and addiction issues.

Lots of people go through times when they struggle with worry and stress or feeling down and overwhelmed. If you're finding things hard at the moment, I could help you find a way through the fog using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness.I have found CBT to be incredibly useful in my own life and I am now passionate about teaching people how to use CBT strategies to help them move towards their goals. We will work together to build on your strengths and reduce the less helpful thinking patterns and behaviours that might be holding you back. My work is based in person-centred principles, which means I will be non-judgemental and respectful in my partnership with you. I won't tell you how to fix things, but I can help you find your own way through your difficulties.My early career was in social care working with people with learning disabilities and I later trained as a Social Worker supporting women fleeing domestic abuse, vulnerable adults and older people with mental health problems. Since retraining as a CBT therapist I've gained extensive experience working with anxiety, depression and chronic pain/illness. I can also help with OCD, social anxiety, and self-esteem .I've been doing online therapy for almost four years now and I've found that it is an excellent way for people to access therapy when perhaps circumstances would ordinarily have prevented them. Sometimes the very thing we want help with (for example anxiety, agoraphobia, depression or pain) makes it difficult to attend therapy sessions outside of the home. Or maybe childcare or working hours mean that going to appointments in typical office hours is impossible. Online therapy means you can access therapy at a time to suit you and your family and with no travel time or costs. I know it can be nerve-racking making that first contact for therapy; you may feel nervous not knowing what to expect or what I will be like, but I will try to put you at ease and explain what we'll do as we go along.If you'd like to chat about your requirements or check availability, please feel free to email me. Together we can figure this out!

It’s a brave step to reach out for help if you’re suffering from eating disorders, relationship problems, trauma, life transitions and anxiety. This is why I believe in building a trusting relationship, where we can explore how to achieve the insight that leads to sustainable, positive life change.

If you’re suffering with depression, feeling sad or anxious and wondering how to go forward I can help you. I am experienced in working with such issues and have excellent results. Furthermore, if you are going through major changes in your life, I’m also experienced working with such issues.

My main approach is called Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and it’s great for taking into account that we are all shaped by our individual experiences and journey in life and making very explicit sense of things which seem to repeat, or just feel stuck with. Maybe you experience anxiety or depression, or have difficulties with self-confidence, or with self-image, or have problems with ‘self-regulation’, (for example if you use food/money/alcohol to help manage distress or difficult feelings). Therapy can help find more helpful ways of managing yourself, your emotions, or of relating to others. My approach is likely to be helpful for you, especially if you have a curiosity to understand more about yourself and make sense of your experiences, and want to be able to move forward.

Modern life is fraught with problems. If you are experiencing loneliness, depression, grief, relationship problems, anxiety, or just that the past has caught up to you in your life, I can help you. I have experience working with all manner of clients and receive great feedback.I am experienced in uncovering the source of your pain and working it through with you.

After having completed my first degree in psychology I worked as an assistant in a number of different settings, with children and older adults. However, it wasn’t until I started working on a study in 1994, researching the effectiveness of cognitive therapy for chronic depression,when I found the area I wanted to specialise in. Being part of a small team focusing onpsychological approacheswithin a biological psychiatry department was great exposure tocontrastingtreatment modalities and challengestocombinedifferentapproaches in the aim toimprove treatments for patients. I continued with research and also began to train in psychological therapy. Once I gained accreditation with the BABCP in 1998 I worked in a service which was just beginning toprovide psychological therapy to patients directly in primary care. This was aimed at improving links with GP’s andaccess to ‘talking therapies’ for patients with common mental health issues.This was a fast expanding area, both in the range of treatments and also the mode of delivery. In 2006 Iattended an inspiring workshop by someone researching the efficacy of delivering cognitive therapy by telephone. The aim was to further widen accessibility to psychological treatment whilst retaining the effectiveness and quality of the treatment. I discovered that it is possible to develop a positive working relationship without seeing the client directly. From this point I began a role delivering cbt bytelephone onan employee assistanceprogram for a private health provider. Since then I have had part-time roles which has allowed diversity in my work, clinicalroles in public and private healthcare,and research roles.Today tele-therapy is widely availableand proven to be an effective form of treatment in primary care. I am currently employed inan IAPT service specifically to offer cbt by telephone and this continues to be a fulfilling and inspiring role. More recently technology and visionhaveenabled further developments in delivery modalities, which brings me to looking to the next step, digital health.I aim to develop competencies in this field and be a part of the ongoingprogress.
