Sally Woodhouse

I am an experienced therapist who has worked to improve the wellbeing of Adults and Young People for nearly 15 years.

Life can be very challenging at times and I have worked with hundreds of clients on issues including Relationships, Anxiety, Depression, Change, Emotional instability, Loss, Health, Identity, Self Confidence, Isolation, Negative thoughts, Family Relationships, Sexuality and Divorce.  

I understand that the decision to have counselling is a big step which for many takes courage.  I see every person I work with as an individual and our work is tailored to reflect this.   As an Integrative Therapist I am trained in Transactional Analysis,  Person Centred Approach, Gestalt and Attachment Theory.

Together we can explore your feelings, thoughts, circumstances and relationships in such a way that you gain clarity, new insights and deeper understanding.

Our therapeutic relationship is designed to initiate the healing and growth process.   Whatever your experience you will be met with respect and acceptance in a calm, safe place where you can reflect, explore, discover, share, consider and even celebrate.

Teenagers can bring many issues including Low Self Esteem, Anger and Anxiety, Peer relationship problems, Lack of Direction, Risk Taking,  Family relationships including Parent’s Separation, Family in Crisis and Self-Harm.  As part of natural teenage development, in order to prepare for independent Adult life teens often distance themselves from parents.   I have extensive knowledge of teenage development and experience building relationships with young people so that they can access a mature relationship outside of their family to talk about their issues.  This experience has been gained in Private practice and through 10 years working in secondary schools.

Personally, I am an authentic person who has experienced a fair bit in life, both the ups and downs.  I am passionate about helping people know and accept themselves and tune into their ability to live life fully.

With a holistic view to mental health I value a good diet, activity, purpose, spirituality and appreciation of nature and friendships.  

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by their Ethical Framework and Guidelines for Good Practice, details of which can be found at www.bacp.co.uk

Sessions are £45 an hour. I believe that good counselling should be accessible to everyone so I offer a small concession to those who cannot afford £45
