Counselling can help you with those difficult times in life when you need to resolve a problem which is stopping you from achieving your personal best. As therapists, we believe that there is no problem that cannot be resolved to your satisfaction and there are no limits to what can be achieved within counselling.
We believe that the relationship between therapist and client can be a vehicle for growth.
Together, we can explore how events of the past, often from childhood, have contributed to your current situation. This process will promote emotional growth at your own pace. This will also help you to gain greater self-awareness, increase your esteem and help you to understand the relationship with yourself and others. This process will create a sense of inner peace and enable you to understand your emotions and gain more self-identify.
We specialise in issues associated with:
Stress / Anxiety / Panic attacks
Depression
Couple therapy
Childhood related issues
Low self-esteem
Marriage, Couple & Relationship Therapy
Whether you are in a personal dilemma or relationship crisis, we can help you change the future of your relationship.
Couple therapy will help you understand yourself better in relation to your partner, the relationship dynamic, and explore what keeps you stuck – which often involves recurring patterns from the past.
Choosing the right therapist is highly essential; that is why we offer a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation so that you have a clear idea of the therapeutic process and how we work.
We can help with issues such as:
Communication
Managing Arguments and Conflict
Affairs /Infidelity

Member organisations *
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
