'Counselling has to do with intuition, work on oneself, with the quietness of ones mind and the openness of ones heart'

MEET OUR COUNSELLORS BELOW:
LUCY
I have been practicing as an integrative therapist since qualifying as a counsellor in 2016. I have worked in various settings such as mental health charities, Mind and Samaritans, in the Occupational Health and Wellbeing sector and now as a private therapist.
I am warm and friendly with a down to earth nature which helps you feel at ease. I can help empower you to overcome a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, to name a few.
​
I provide a confidential, non-judgmental, safe space where you can be comfortable opening up about your inner most thoughts and feelings. We can explore your patterns of behaviour, your relationships, your history, the impact of the pandemic on you and anything that you feel you need to gain clarity on or offload.
​
Therapy will increase your self-awareness and I will guide you on proven self-help/CBT informed techniques that will help you cope with symptoms such as worry, overthinking, poor sleep, low-mood and low-motivation. I will support you with goal setting, to achieve the changes you want and encourage you to reach your full potential.
HANNAH
Having several years experience working with children, young people and adults, I can offer support to a wide age range from 13+.
​
Reaching out for support can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. It’s very important to me to try and make this as simple and accessible as possible.
​
I qualified as a counsellor in 2019 and have worked within mental health for over 5 years, in the charity and voluntary sector.
​
Removing barriers to counselling support is very close to my heart and I pride myself on being a down to earth practitioner.
​
Counselling can be helpful for a variety of different difficulties such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss and many more. Being able to talk these thoughts and feelings through in a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space can help to unburden, process and manage these issues. As well as looking at solution focused practical methods, psychoeducation and coping techniques for challenging emotions.
​
I can encourage you to develop a deeper self-awareness and offer insight to improve understanding, in a way that empowers you to reach your full potential.
CATHERINE
I understand how challenging life can feel and everyone experiences times when they struggle. I offer a safe space for you to explore your feelings and support you through these difficult times. Often past experiences can cause problems in the present and I can help you to gain insight and clarity and move forward in life.
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and member of the BACP with over 10 years’ experience of working in mental health services.
I have worked for the charity Mind and the NHS working with both children and young people and adults in my own private practice. I bring an empathic and sensitive approach to our work together with warmth, understanding and grounded authenticity. I trust in the transformative effects of feeling heard and valued by someone who cares and offer an environment which reflects this, without judgement or feeling criticised.
I have a person centred approach and work in a way that suits you rather than being fixed to one specific mode of therapy. I believe that every person and issue should be treated on an individual basis to encourage personal expression and growth. I can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself by integrating a variety of techniques. such as proven self – help/CBT techniques, mindfulness and relaxation and exploration of the shadow self to help you overcome challenges and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

TESTIMONIALS
I just want to say a massive thank you for helping me get through the hardest times in my life. You have helped me to stop self-harming which I thought I'd never do. You have helped me learn it’s okay not to be okay. I’ve become a totally different person. Thank you for being there when I needed someone to talk to.
