Touchstone Psychotherapies

We are fully qualified integrative psychotherapists. Having worked in different settings including charities like Cruse Bereavement Services and Change Grow Live, the NHS and for an online low-cost therapy service, our practical experience is built on an excellent theoretical understanding of psychological modalities and presenting issues. However, psychotherapy is an art as well as a science. To be effective, it requires a relationship between client and practitioner founded on trust and mutual understanding. We therefore integrate clinical excellence with a warm, safe, non-judgmental, and person-centred approach to offer a culturally sensitive environment with no-rush appointments at a time and location that's convenient for you.

1. Cultural sensitivity:
   All adults are welcomed regardless of background. We are sensitive to diversity in culture and self-identity, including with respect to race, gender, and sexuality.
2. No-rush appointments:
   We believe that the therapeutic hour is the client’s time to decompress, talk, cry, shout, or just think. It’s an opportunity to look at your emotional issues with the help of a trained specialist who will not judge you. Understanding what ails you is often the first step to overcoming it. We will always therefore work at the client’s pace.
3. Available where you are:
   Therapy should be easily accessible. We offer appointments online, by telephone, by text and in person at your convenience. That means you can seek care at a time and location that's convenient to you.
