At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

Christine is an amazing counsellor, working with her has completely changed my outlook on life. Very personal, kind and patient, and felt like she did an amazing job of adapting to what I needed. Highly recommend!

Angus was especially nice and empathetic to my troubles, he made me feel very relaxed and encouraged me to open up and engage throughout our time together, he has helped me realise the difference between my thoughts and how to control them and understand them. He was very professional in his practice, I felt he understood me and was very genuine, I would certainly recommend him. I haf an alcohol habit and I am in control, not the alcohol. Thank you Angus

Working with Ali has been nothing short of life-changing. I came to therapy during a particularly difficult time, feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted. From our very first conversation, Ali made me feel safe, seen, and truly heard. Her presence is calm and grounding, and she has a unique ability to listen without judgment while gently guiding you toward clarity and healing. What stood out immediately was how quickly she understood what I was going through — and how skillfully she introduced practical, effective techniques to help regulate my emotions and manage stress. We began working with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) early on, and I was genuinely surprised by how effective it was. Within a few sessions, I was able to process memories and experiences that had weighed heavily on me for years. Ali approached each session with compassion, care, and professionalism, always ensuring I felt safe and supported. She doesn't just follow a formula — every session is tailored to where I am that day. Whether I arrive feeling overwhelmed or steady, she meets me there, equipping me with tools that I can use well beyond our time together. Therapy with Ali has helped me feel stronger, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges. I’m incredibly grateful for the work we’ve done together, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective, and compassionate support.
