Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and taking those first important, if sometimes daunting, steps towards beginning counselling.

I am a person-centred trained counsellor with nearly 20 years experience of working therapeutically with adults,young people and children. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision.

I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings and with a diverse range of issues. These include, but are not limited to, anxiety,stress, depression, loss and bereavement, attachment issues,relationship problems,low self- esteem,family separation,anger, identity, transitions and self harm. I offer individual counselling to adults over 18, on a long or short term basis.

Understanding the person-centred approach:

"The counsellor or psychotherapist in this approach works to understand an individuals existence from their point of view. The Counsellor must positively value the client as a person in all aspects of their humanity, while aiming to be open and genuine. This is vital to helping an individual feel accepted and better understand their own feelings and sense of self worth. This re-connection with their inner resources enables them to find their own way to move forward."

I believe that my empathetic and non-judgemental approach facilitates the relationship between myself and my clients. The quality of the relationship provides a catalyst for my client's personal growth and improved emotional well being. I am here to listen and will offer you respect, unconditional positive regard and a secure frame from which to explore your issues.

We are delighted to welcome Geraldine Meadows, MBACP: therapist & coach to our centre.

"I believe you can feel better than you do now: that you can know and understand yourself better and feel both lighter and more secure in yourself. I also believe firmly in the power of connection, and communication, to help achieve these goals."

"I work in an integrative way, blending elements of person centred, existential and psychodynamic theory, working in a creative way to suit your needs.

Person-centred: an approach which considers you the expert in your own life and in which you are met with a set of core conditions such as empathy, congruence and positive regard.

Existential: a philosophical approach which focuses on the human condition as a whole, dealing with challenges associated with living such as relationships, freedom and responsibility and the quest to find meaning.

Psychodynamic: this type of work aims to shine a light on the unconscious - to build awareness of what's happening as a deeper level within, helping people to know and understand themselves more fully and building awareness to bring about change.

My training also includes a qualification in coaching - I want know what you want out of life and to work with you to discover how to get there.

Starting therapy takes courage. It takes effort and belief that you can feel better than you do now. I've been there and know how much it takes. From day one, the rewards can be rich - you can feel lighter, brighter and better understood. The process of therapy can be a really fun adventure. I experience a lot of laughter and moments of mirth with clients. It’s a journey of learning and discovery. I am here to join you on the journey -- please get in touch to take the first step."

Geraldine has an MA in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow and a PG.Dip (Dist) in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their strict ethical framework & code of conduct.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience of working with people in distress or displaying challenging behaviours.

Over the past 11 years’ I have been working as a qualified psychologist in the NHS supporting children, young people and families who are experiencing a range of emotional difficulties.

I work with complex issues including, but not limited to depression, school phobias, anxiety/fearfulness, trauma, grief, illness, aggression, mild to moderate self-harm and suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, social withdrawal, parenting and relationship issues.

Clinical psychologists are trained to a high level to use the most up to date and extensively researched therapies to support a person/family make sense of their difficulties and find ways to live a more contented life. I am a firm believer that each of us has the capacity to transform our lives and our relationships with the support of a good therapist.

Every trauma tells a story that has not been truly heard, leaving the core self raw and invalidated and keeping you small. You may find yourself facing many challenges at various times in your life. Sometimes feeling shame or afraid to speak up, struggle with low self-esteem or confidence issues, feeling stuck or like you are living in a dark place with no sense of how or where to find the light.

­Hayley’s Experience
Hayley graduated from the Anglia Ruskin University with a DipHE in Person-Centred Counselling for Children & Adolescents and a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy working with adults.

She trained and worked with the Woman’s Trust helping women of all ages experiencing domestic abuse, overcome emotional and mental harm from narcissistic abuse, coercive and controlling relationships, co-dependency, sexual violence, and all forms of abuse. She knows and understand the different ways abuse can impact individuals and their sense of self - anxiety and depression, trauma, suicidal feelings, self-loathing, shame, and worthlessness.

How Hayley works
Processing deeply held loss, grief or trauma in therapy can be both painful and life changing. You will go at your own pace and share what only feels right for you, as YOU are the expert of YOU.

Hayley has a deeply empathic person-centred approach and gives you the time and space to express your feelings and discuss your experiences openly, in your own words and in your own time. She will work sensitively with you as a compassionate witness to your story, without judgement, and with unconditional acceptance.

Mind & Body (Somatic experience)
With a VTCT diploma in complementary therapies and background as an energy practitioner, Hayley offers a very calming space where you are treated with sensitivity and respect. She is very in tune with the mind/body connection and works very much with the sensations and emotions that are stuck in the body, presence (the here and now), your felt sense, energy, grounding, and imagery.

Liz Sharpe specialises in helping people manage their relationship with alcohol, cocaine or nicotine - either cutting down or stopping completely. Qualified as a Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Addictions Coach, Liz helps you to get back in control of you and your life by looking at up to 4 different areas with you.

• Is it a habit (it is Wednesday night, never leave wine in the bottle, etc)
• Is there a trigger (somebody else's birthday, an argument, celebration or somebody else using etc.)
• Is there an emotion (angry, happy, sad, bored, lonely, excited etc)
• or perhaps it is the stressors of life, (work, family, money, bereavements, traumas)

Whatever the reason that you are drinking, smoking, partaking...... Liz will work with you to find your resolution so that you can live life again.

None of us are perfect, we all have something we wish to change about ourselves.

Whether you’re looking for help with anxiety, weight loss, confidence, addiction or phobias, just a few examples, my client-based approach as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner means I can be flexible, and therefore individualise your treatment plan to best suit your needs.

We spend time getting to know how you experience whatever it is that is concerning you, so that I can really understand in the best way possible. I use that information to design a treatment plan that suits you. This will include truly bespoke hypnotic suggestion patterns, so that your treatment can be successfully completed in the shortest time possible.

I do not make judgements about the people I work with, I believe everyone is doing the best with what they have, though with the right support and help, we can all find a way of doing things better.

There is nothing more rewarding for me than seeing a client take control of their life and creating the life they want to live.

I have an Enhanced DBS certificate.

As well as working in private practice, I am an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist and I am proud take referrals from this great charity who offer affordable access to private therapy on a means-tested basis.

I am a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Physiotherapists.

Life can be incredibly challenging sometimes and you may experience feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, anger and stress.  I completely understand how daunting it may be to take the first steps towards counselling, as I was once in the other chair too.  However, after having a positive and empowering experience, I knew then this was something I wanted to study to enable me to support other people on their journey.

I work integratively which means I call on a variety of theories and methods, such as Person Centered, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Inner child and solution focused, depending what each individual client may want.

I have worked with teenagers as well as adults, offering a safe and confidential environment for you to talk openly.

Counselling is a very personal and individual journey, so choosing the right counsellor for you is key. I offer a free 20 min no obligation chat to ask any questions about my sessions.

For over a decade I have been using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques to change my own life and the lives of others.

I can show you how to create the life you want, remove limiting beliefs, release old trauma and break habits that do not serve you.

Among the many modalities that NLP offers, I frequently use Timeline Therapy which aims to alter your perception of past events that may have been negative or traumatic. Looking at these memories with your current perspective, I can guide you to give your younger self the wisdom that you have today and free yourself from trapped emotions.

Is there something that you would like to achieve; a new job or promotion; improve your relationship, lose weight; make better food choices? I can help you to take back control, gain confidence and have the life you want and deserve.

It is my unwavering belief that joy, abundance and fulfilment is attainable for everyone!

A bit about me:
Hello, I’m Helen and I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with people of all ages: adults, adolescents, primary school aged children and parents together with their babies or pre-school aged little ones.

My practice is based on the principle that it's OK to admit you're not OK. Seeking help is a courageous thing to do because it so often goes against the grain to admit we're struggling. As a psychotherapist, I can offer you support when you’re finding things difficult.

How I work:
I trained in early relational health and psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy at both the Tavistock and Portman and School of Infant Mental Health in London and I provide psychotherapy services with psychodynamic principles at their heart.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a talking therapy which aims to help you explore the links between your past experiences and current difficulties with a particular focus on your earliest relationships.

Our first session:
It’s important to find the therapist whose approach suits you, your child or your family and so our first session together is an opportunity to get a sense of whether we would work well together. If you feel that my way of working does suit you, we can agree a regular day and time to meet each week. Each session lasts 50 minutes.

Please note that in work with primary school aged children, I prefer to have at least two sessions with the parent/carer to get a full history before holding any sessions with the child. After this, I would hope to help the child feel gradually relaxed enough to attend sessions alone.

It goes without saying that where there are relationship difficulties between babies, pre-school aged children and their parents, or concerns about the infant/child’s behaviour, the parent and infant would always attend together.

Since the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation of good therapeutic work, I offer prospective clients a free initial session to get to know each other and see if things feel right.

Welcome, are you ready to tell your story? We all have a story that shapes us, and I would be honoured to hear yours.

As a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor, I would like to offer you the safety of sharing your story in a way that helps you heal from within. Without judgement or agenda, I am here to listen, explore and help you remain curious about who you are and what has shaped you.

My core training and subsequent studies in relational therapies allow me to accompany you as you unravel the story of your life and maybe even start to write some new chapters. I know, from my own lived experience, that talking therapy has the unique power to positively alter the direction of your story. How might that look for you?

We all have times in our lives that challenge us, that force us to evaluate who and where we are. Perhaps you’re feeling hopeless or stuck, maybe looking for direction, fulfilment or contentment.

Perhaps you have reached a stage in your life where you know something needs to change but you just aren’t sure what or how. Or maybe there has been a significant event in your life that has prompted you to reach out, a bereavement, loss, rejection or ill health. Maybe you are struggling with some or all your relationships, maybe you just don’t know what the problem is, but you know things aren’t quite right.

Counselling is place for you, just for you. A place to gently and compassionately connect with your truest self and be held in your vulnerability.

Rest assured my priority is you, the client, and if I am not the right fit for you, I will do my best to put you in touch with colleagues that maybe a better fit, judgement free.

If you would like to connect with me, I would be honoured.

Thank you for reading my bio, which says just a little about me and my practice. I am an integrative psychotherapist, 25 years of professional experience, yet it still never ceases to amaze me how incredible human beings are. The intrinsic human capacity to survive and overcome many complex experiences, but not only to survive, but to use that survival as a platform for thriving and developing personal identity and development, as a way of being in the world that is authentic to you!

My specialisms are children, young people and adults too, complex developmental trauma, neuro divergence, supporting parents, group work and connecting to your individual spirituality in whatsoever way you embrace your beliefs. In all of this kaleidoscope of experiences the fundamental driving force for optimal health is the brain/body connection. I ethically adhere to all western psychological compliances and practice, whilst holding the Millenia upon Millenia of Eastern and Rest of the World knowledge, beliefs and teachings, firmly in my thinking. My experience has been gained in Specialist CAMHS; Specialist Organisation for Adopted & Looked After Children; Private Independent Practice & Voluntary Humanitarian Organisation seeking to support those affected by war and natural disasters worldwide.

I welcome and hold in the highest esteem your courage to heal and expand.

Contact: esclinicalassessments@gmail.com / 07853 996662 please leave a message and I will get back to you.

My name is Desi Eneva and I am the owner of Naturopathic Healing.

By background, I am a physiotherapist with Master Degree and more than 13 years of experience both abroad and in UK. I have nterests in both Children and Adults Neuro Conditions, including SMA and Stroke.

Additional to this I have qualifications in Reiki, Angelic Reiki, AA Metatron Colour Healing and Acupuncture.

I am registered with Health Care Professional Council and I am member of: CSP, APCP and ACPIN.

As a person, I have interests not only in Physiotherapy and Healing methods but also to come within myself and to work towards peace, calmness, acceptance and gratitude. My personal goal is to be better person and to be in service to others.

I have always been interested in sport, physical activities, health and travelling. I played rugby for SRFC for 20 years and have hiked and backpacked extensively in Britain, South America and the Himalayas.

When I returned from travelling I initially trained in therapeutic massage at the London College of Massage graduating in 2007, then subsequently studied at the British School of Shiatsu-Do receiving my Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma in 2012 after 3 years of training. As with most Eastern disciplines Shiatsu recognises there is no separation between the mind and the body in treatment and diagnosis. The traditional techniques of balancing the energy in the meridians that flow along the body, acupressure and ampuku (Japanese stomach massage) are directly related to treatment of the person as a whole. This integration of mind, body and spirit has subsequently guided all my further training especially that of Shin Tai, which is a development of Shiatsu pioneered by Saul Goodman, alongside the more advanced soft tissue skills I gained in obtaining my STT Diploma with the LSSM.

I am a Senior member of The Shiatsu Society and have been a registered practitioner with the Society since 2013. As a member I am fully insured and adhere to their Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics and registered with the CNHC. I am also a member of the ISRM, on their register of therapists and fully insured for remedial soft tissue techniques.

Healing Diets coaching is a holistic approach to nutrition, suitable for anyone facing challenges with their health from the very minor to the very major.  It’s also useful for those who wish to boost their energy and health or improve specific facets like sleep or digestion.

During our consultation we deep dive into your food history and I offer practical, personalised advice for healing and health that considers the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of your wellbeing.

As a Healing Diets Coach, I am not able to diagnose, but I will use the science of food and expertise in nutrition and its impact on the body to create a holistic healing plan for you after our consultation.  The plan will be completely personalised to help you treat your symptoms naturally and tackle the root cause of the problem, so that symptoms don’t return.  The plan provides you with everything you need to take responsibility for meeting your health objectives.

I whole heartedly believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal, we just to have to support the body to do what it is made to do.

Laura obtained her qualification from the School of Natural Medicine and is a member of the Complementary Medical Association.

The question ‘what is Reiki?’ Is often asked and it’s a very good question.

Reiki is a Japanese technique that induces deep relaxation, stress reduction and promotes healing. Reiki is actually made up of two Japanese words. “Rei” means ‘higher power’ and “Ki” means ‘life force energy’ so Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy. Whilst Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and does not require any belief in a religion for it to work or be administered. Reiki works in harmony with all others and is completely safe to use alongside any medication.

Reiki practitioners administer Reiki via gently ‘laying on hands’ and/or hover hands above the recipient whilst the life force energy flows through both the practitioner and the recipient, treating the whole person, body, mind, emotions and spirit.

During a session, some people may feel the physical affects of the Reiki energy and some may even feel the physical affects for a short time after a session also, which can range (but is not limited to) feeling heat, tingles, phantom hands, seeing flashes of colours to having emotional outbursts. Whilst others will not feel anything at all and perhaps even fall completely asleep! Everything experienced individually is completely normal.

Cat helps you bring harmony to your inner landscape and come back into greater connection with the natural world in which you are interwoven.

Our bodies are vast ever changing landscapes and I'm here to provide a space for your body to be met in all its multidimensionality. The human body and nature are not separate and I hold the notion that we can live as full expressions of the interdependence we have with the natural world. Our continual unfolding is infinite, a spiraling relationship of reciprocity and vastness within ourselves and the larger supporting fields that surround us.

We are also raised in cultures of trauma, which cause us to contract and lose our natural fluidity on the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, energetic, and relational levels. Living in post-traumatic physiology disrupts our sense of well-being, wholeness, and health and separates us from our connection with the wider supporting fields.

I offer 1-1 sessions in Craniosacral Therapy, Somatic & Energetic Trauma Integration as well as Somatic Energy Healing classes online and in-person. Although separate modalities, they overlap and complement one another as I weave in extensive training in Andean Spirituality, Embodied Sexuality, Trauma Resolution, Shamanism, my ancestral lineage, and life experience and innate gifts.

I hold a gentle and non-judgemental space where the natural blueprint of your health and vitality can be more easily accessed and begin to flow. Expanded awareness and capacity create the conditions for a deeper embodiment of self and spirit to emerge.

My sessions support a return to the undercurrent of health and well-being that is always available for you to widen into. Together we explore how we can stay in harmony within our somatic landscapes and in reciprocity with the wider living field of nature that runs through us and sustains us.

1-1 sessions provide a place for us to explore your somatic landscape with attuned care and compassion. We create a space that encourages enough curiosity for the body to feel safe and to be met in its multidimensionality through gentle inquiry.
The intention is to meet and metabolise trauma imprints, unresolved patterns of the nervous system, and unmet needs including ancestral, past-life, interpersonal, inner child, and soul, whilst deepening your connection with your spirit and ancestral allies. Through expanded awareness and capacity a deeper embodiment of self and spirit is attainable.
