Wendy Padley MA, MSc, Registered MBACP (Accred.)

About me

If you're struggling or feeling stuck in your life, I can help.  Maybe you feel like something is missing, you feel sad or angry, or you're in the middle of difficult life changes.

Outwardly you might look fine, but inside you might be depressed, anxious, or have problems with relationships.  I provide a safe space for you to feel less overwhelmed and feel less stressed.

I help you work through your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour in a non-judgemental way.  We'll work towards understanding where these come from so we can change how you deal with them.

Often people think their worries are too silly to talk about, or that others people's problems are much bigger than theirs.  This just isn't true.  You'd be amazed how many times people come to me with a 'small' problem that has overshadowed their lives for years.  Sometimes people feel they can't change anything by just talking about their problem.  This also isn't true. I won't tell you what to do,  but I will walk with you on your journey while you figure things out for yourself.

Work with me:
I am an experienced, fully qualified registered and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist.  I am very experienced with young adults (18-21 years,) and with professionals. Initially, we can speak on the phone, and meet for an assessment session or two so you can decide if this is for you.

Depending on your needs I provide:

• Short term counselling for a few weeks,
• Longer term counselling/psychotherapy up to 2 years or longer, depending upon your needs.
• 'Drop in' sessions aimed at teaching and healthcare professionals to decompress from their worries.
• I can offer online sessions after an initial period of face to face sessions.

I've worked for a number of years in a respected voluntary sector agency, with the NHS in a specialist psychotherapy service, and in a Higher Education setting.

I currently practice from a quiet office in Market Harborough, with easy access from the A14, A6, A427 and local to the M1.

How to get started:

Please email me or ring with any queries or questions.  A telephone conversation is available so that we can speak briefly.
