I am also a qualified practitioner in delivering Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) which is an attachment based approach, used to strengthen and improve relationships between children and their primary carers.

I am  experienced in working with looked after children and completing post-adoption work with families using a Dyadic developmental psychotherapy approach (DDP).

I have a qualification in Animal assisted therapy and frequently use our therapy animals during sessions.

I am experienced with children and young people aged from 4 years to  adulthood. I have experience in supporting parents on an individual basis as well as providing Family therapy.

I am a member of both the BACP, HCPC, DDP and VIG UK governing organisations, and registered with private health organisations. Certifications, references and qualifications can be seen on request. 


Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I’m Sue, I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist, counsellor & supervisor.

I work with adults, families, children and young people, couples and groups. My integrative approach means that we can work together to explore the best outcomes for you. 

Having worked in education settings for many years, I have significant experience of therapeutic interventions with children who present with trauma, additional needs and challenging behaviour.

Equally, I have worked with families, those in complex relationships or encountering relational trauma.

I work with sensitivity, safety and compassion and with the person centred values of respect, non-judgement and empathy. I also like to reference nature, use play, drawing and movement to support the therapeutic experience.

 


 

 My name is Louise, I am a registered BACP and accredited NCPS Counselling Therapist. 

I am very passionate about my work and am committed to doing my absolute best to support my clients.

I am experienced in working with children, adolescents and adults experiencing bereavement, grief, loss, relational issues and trauma.
I am experienced in working with extreme emotions and those that find it difficult to communicate feelings and emotions. My core belief is that connection is the key to a successful counselling journey and I believe we are all unique. In recognising this, I tailor the way I work to find the most effective ways to suit your individuality using a variety of approaches and activities/tools which may include: drawing, writing, art, play and relaxation techniques. Overall, I offer Person-Centred Counselling with humanistic values which concentrates on your needs throughout offering a warm, relaxed, welcoming, non-judgemental and comfortable environment to address your needs with upmost empathy.

 


My name is Collette.  I am a registered member of the BACP and I have had the pleasure and experience of working with both adults and young people in various settings including schools and charities.  

My approach is adapted to fit each individual, and my focus is on creating a safe space to ensure you feel understood and comfortable enough to trust me to support you while we explore your thoughts, feelings and fears. 

My job is to help you understand yourself a bit better and find the solutions that best fit your life.
