Millicent Ackroyd

Hi, I'm Millicent an empathetic and thoughtful integrative therapist. I aim to provide tailored sessions that meet your therapy needs through CBT, Person-centred therapy, and Attachment therapy. I wish for you to feel safe and heard, to feel supported whilst working toward a more confident, independent self. I believe therapy is for anyone and anything, a tool for working towards a more confident, self-managing you.

Many of us experience moments of stress or anxiety in our lives. As humans were no strangers to emotional or psychological challenges caused by problems with school or work, concerns regarding money, difficulties regarding relationships, or even grief brought on by loss in its many forms.

Often we managed, or believe to have handled, those challenges by ourselves. But more often than not we would benefit from guidance or support from others such as friends, family, or even professionals such as myself.

People seek therapy for many reasons. The belief you have to have a presenting mental health concern to access therapy is a myth. At Psychotherapy with Millicent, I aim to be that guidance, support, and listening ear to whatever overwhelming thoughts or concerns you are experiencing. Your session and your therapy experience are dictated by you, whether that is weekly sessions to manage low moods or anxiety, to unloading various issues you face that week that have bothered or weighed you down. Therapy is about expressing, unloading, and processing what is happening for you in your daily life.
