I will help you identify negative behaviour and thoughts and develop new, more positive methods to deal with stress and mental discomfort, gain more confidence and self-esteem, and create a deeper connection with yourself and others. My background is in counselling and psychotherapy, adult online learning, neurodiversity, coaching, and mentoring—knowledge and experience that I integrate into our sessions. My approach is Transactional Analysis psychotherapy. I help you become more aware of the present moment so you can make more informed decisions about your behaviour and reactions and fully connect with yourself and others. I’m fully invested in guiding you to cultivate self-belief and confidence that will empower you to take action.

Hello I’m Mary, a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and outdoor therapist working in Lewes, Brighton and around East Sussex. I also work online. I help people reconnect with their sense of aliveness using a combination of talking therapy, somatic, body orientated practices, mindfulness and movement. Talking to someone outside of your day to day existence can help you understand more clearly how you relate to yourself, others and the world around you. Compassionate, non judgemental listening will give you the space to explore what it’s like to be truly seen and heard for who you really are. All too often how you see yourself now is based on what happened to you in the past. Together we can shine a light on the patterns behind what's troubling you. As your awareness grows we can begin to challenge your familiar frame of reference and explore new possibilities and different ways of relating. I believe talking therapy helps put meaning to our experience, but often our bodies hold memories and emotions that we struggle to find words for. Body orientated therapy offers a creative way to access and release this. How do we know we are happy, angry, anxious…? We might experience a warm feeling in the heart, a knot in the stomach, hunched shoulders. Exploring physical sensations and movements can help us fully experience our emotions. We can learn to move in and out of difficult sensations and emotions so that they become less overwhelming. Emotions are part of our visceral experience of being alive and yet often we learn to suppress them. Feeling and expressing emotions helps cultivate a resilient nervous system that will support you through the inevitable ups and downs of life. It’s about learning to surf the waves instead of feeling that you're being pulled under.

I am a qualified, registered Transactional Analysis psychotherapist and have practiced in Kent for over 30 years. I have experience of working in private, voluntary and public organisations. I no longer provide weekly therapy but do offer therapeutic mentoring for anyone who seeks a confidential, regular space for ongoing exploration and self development. I am also a qualified supervisor and hold an M.Sc. in Professional Supervision and a M.Ed. in Educational Research. I currently supervise qualified therapists and health/education providers. My current interest areas are existential perspectives and working with neurodiverse/neurotypical dilemmas. If you'd like to know more, or explore if we might work together, please check out my website and make contact.

About me: UKCP Accredited Certified Transactional Analyst (P). What’s my motivation? I’m originally from Cork in Ireland and have worked as a therapist for the last 10 years. In my practice, I offer you a space where you can explore and discover your identity and regain a sense of autonomy and connectedness. I seek to support you to move from a place of feeling perhaps “stuck” and “lost” to a position where they feel more connected to themselves and others. This can assist you to moving towards living a more authentic and fulfilled life. My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began as a direct result of experiencing a challenging time in my early 20s and seeking therapy. My experience of psychotherapy at the time was life changing. My values I am enthusiastic about working collaboratively alongside my clients where they can be their “best selves”. I am a firm believer in treating everyone with the dignity and respect which they deserve irrespective of their identity, background, culture, sexuality, disability, life experiences, religious affiliations. Inclusivity is a significant personal value of mine (see below). Justice and fairness are of paramount importance, and I have worked with clients who have experienced forms of injustice and unfairness in society, the workplace, and relationships over the years. My own philosophy as a therapist includes respecting and understanding each client’s perspective and treating them with the utmost dignity and compassion. I strive to support, be understanding and be non judgemental. Client Choice and Autonomy It is important for you to feel comfortable in deciding which counsellor or psychotherapist you want to work with. I ensure that all prospective clients can have a free 20 min chat either on phone or online to get a sense on if I am the right "fit" for you. During this chat you can give me a sense of what it is causing you distress/ discomfort at this time. I will answer any questions you may have about individual or couples counselling and what it entails. Couples/ Relationship Counselling I'm a Certified Imago Relationship therapist. Imago relationship therapy is a wonderful way to get to know your partner better and feel more loved and deeply connected. It is also about experiencing the joy of being in relationship and how it is important for us to show appreciations to our partner. My practice is based in Chorlton South Manchester where I see clients on Mondays and Tuesdays. I charge £65 for individual therapy (50 mins) and £95 for couples therapy (One hour).

Hello, I'm Louise and I have been in private practice since 2018. I create a safe and inclusive space that is accepting and empowering for all people. I help people to increase understanding of themselves and how their past impacts their present. Then increase understanding of how they can help and support themselves in the here and now so that they become free to live a full life in the present and future. I am committed to attending regular training and CPD and learning more about how I can help people. I have completed training in working with trauma, eating disorders and personality disorders as well as attending conferences. I can arrange a 15 minute phone consultation to talk more about how I can help you and answer any questions you may have about therapy. Then I can book an in person or online appointment.

Using a variety of approaches, I can support you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In a safe, confidential and non-judgemental way, I will help you develop your self-awareness so you can make the changes you wish to make for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I offer a safe and confidential space to listen and help.

Hello, I’m Hasan, a Transactional Analysis (TA) therapist and a registered NCPS counsellor. I offer online therapy across the UK, and in-person sessions in the Bexleyheath area. One of my specialties is supporting the Deaf community and individuals with hearing loss, ensuring they have a space where they can feel fully understood and supported. I work with clients facing stress, anxiety, and depression. I’m also deeply passionate about exploring issues around identity, including the intersections of culture, race, and sexuality. TA is a powerful tool for personal growth, designed to help you unlock your full potential and improve your overall well-being. While rooted in a Humanistic approach, TA goes beyond traditional therapy, offering a comprehensive framework for positive change in your life. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 11 years as a sign language interpreter. This background allows me to offer a unique therapeutic experience for both Deaf and hearing individuals. When you reach out, we can set up a free 15-minute screening to explore what brings you to therapy. If we both feel that we’re a good fit, we’ll arrange a convenient time for ongoing sessions. Typically, sessions last 50 minutes once a week, though I’m happy to adapt the frequency based on your needs. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to well-being.

My Philosophy I believe that our beliefs and value systems or attitude guide our behaviour. There is no right or wrong answer, and everyone has the answers within themselves. My role as your therapist will be to lead you towards this self-knowledge. Each of us sees something different when we look out into the world and no two people experience the world in the same way. Our encounter with the world and perceptions depends on who we are, what ability we have and our past experiences. I work with you to increase your awareness and help you to find the answers or truth for yourself. I will help you become more confident and happier and help you to live your life with more wisdom, peace and freedom. My Approach for Individuals I use Transactional Analysis (TA) when I work with individuals. Transactional Analysis (TA) is a model of psychotherapy which helps you understand why you behave in certain way in your social interactions and how your past experiences impact your life here and now. This systematic psychotherapy can help you to make new decisions and can lead you towards personal growth and personal change. My Approach for Couples I use Imago Relationship Therapy with couples which helps you to improve your relationships and become closer to your partner. My role as an Imago therapist is to teach, support and guide you through the Imago Dialogue to deepen your communication and to make a good connection with each other. Through the process you will recognize how early childhood relationship experiences affect how we communicate, behave, and respond to others in adult relationships. In a safe and effective way, you will work out the misunderstandings, reduce conflict, find new ways to bond, and create a joyful and loving relationship.
