Miranda Lovelock

I am an integrative counsellor with a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy and registration with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). With over 20 years of experience in teaching and helping professions, I combine therapeutic techniques and theories and tailor them to your needs. Sometimes, I draw on creative processes and interventions focusing on your feelings and the world around you.

I understand that life can be overwhelming. You might feel confused and isolated, weighed down by working life, complex thoughts or emotions, demotivated or experiencing low self-esteem from relationship and work pressures. Still, it's crucial to recognise that you are not alone. The connection between you, as the client and your therapist serves as a window into your broader relationships and can offer insights into your life's connections.

I appreciate the significance of childhood experiences and their potential to remain hidden, only to resurface later in life. My approach is firmly rooted in Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Gestalt principles. I aim to provide a compassionate and trauma informed environment, inviting you to delve into your feelings, emotions, and underlying issues without fear of criticism or judgment. Throughout the therapy, we can gain new insight into the dynamic interplay between your past and present, facilitating a deeper understanding of your current experiences and behaviours underpinned by empathy and offering you space to share your feelings and thoughts safely. This process strongly emphasises fostering a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, always moving at a comfortable pace for you which has been proven to be integral to making positive change.
