Our therapists come from a range of backgrounds and disciplines: all have undergone either psychodynamic, psychoanalytic or integrative training. In addition to open-ended therapy, we offer short-term focused work and Mindfulness. All our counsellors and psychotherapists are registered and accredited by national certifying bodies: the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK Council for Psychotherapy or the British Psychoanalytic Council.
We follow the Codes of Ethics and Practice of our accrediting bodies. Outside those hours, please leave a message including your phone number and we will respond as soon as the office opens again.

Counselling and psychotherapy helps you build resources within yourself to approach difficulties in your life.
Often the origin of our difficulties is in the past but the link may not be obvious.
Therapy can help you make connections between your past and your present.
With the help of your therapist who is trained to pay attention to your inner world of thoughts, feelings, and ways you respond to stress, you are gradually able to gain greater insight into yourself.
This insight can in turn become a powerful resource as instead of feeling stuck in old patterns of being, you can have more ownership and choice in the way you live your life.

We recognise that not everyone can afford to pay the full fee for therapy and we can sometimes offer reduced fees when funds are available.
This is something to discuss at your assessment.
We do our best to help and the level of fee is decided on an individual basis.
For those in receipt of qualifying benefits, and where short term therapy is suitable, we may be able to offer a reduced fee of 15.00 per session for up to 16 sessions.
We can also sometimes offer a reduced fee of 25.00 for up to 16 sessions to people not on benefits but on low income.
