I offer non-judgemental, compassionate listening in a calm space in-person or online, enabling exploration of your anxieties and concerns safely and building your trust to be heard, understood and supported. Free initial meeting.

If things aren't going well at the moment and you feel alone then maybe I can help? I offer the opportunity to explore whatever may be causing you pain and anxiety in a safe and caring space. Some people come because they want short term help with a particular issue which may be causing them problems with getting on with the process of living. Other people come because they would like to work longer term with a complexity of issues sometimes originating from childhood.

I am an integrative Therapist with over 24 years of experience and an MA in Psychotherapy and counselling and am an accredited member of the BACP. I am passionate about the healing power of counselling, psychotherapy and the capacity of the human psyche to heal, develop and grow. This belief, coupled with my training and experience, underpins how I work with adults one-to-one. I can help with many areas of mental health and associated physical symptoms of: anxiety disorders, depression; underlying causes of emotional pain or distress. The process of counselling or psychotherapy can be life changing and enriching.

I have been working as a qualified Counsellor MBACP (Accred) since 2015. I have extensive experience working with adults and young people. I work using a person centred/integrative approach, helping people to feel better with who they are. I have worked with a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, identity, sexuality, relationships and self-harm. Alongside counselling, I am a qualified clinical supervisor, and offer structured supervision for counsellors. I have recently qualified in interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) this is a treatment for depression, looking into relationships to reduce depression symptoms.

Is anxiety taking pleasure out of your life? Finding it difficult to believe in yourself again? Life seems overwhelming? I assist you in unravelling your troubles. Through honest dialogue, I will provide you with a reliable, meaningful, supportive and ethically confidential relationship. There are several contrasting approaches in the counselling/therapy field where I integrate powerful ideas from most of them in order to meet your needs.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist (British Psychological Society) and a Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC). My qualifications and experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. I regard human suffering and relational struggles as inevitable parts of all our lives. In therapy we may deal directly with life’s crisis and difficulties around transitions such as death of a loved one, divorce, illness and career crossroads. I have a wide range of NHS and private sector experience and can competently treat a wide range of psychological issues and distress for individuals and couples.

Therapy is an investment in your current and future wellbeing. I join my clients in identifying the source of their concerns, and developing positive change. Whether you're struggling with chronic mental health stemming from trauma, or wanting to figure out why life has felt so hard lately, I am ready to listen with care and non-judgement. I have navigated a wide variety of needs with people who've never experienced therapy before, people who've seem to have tried everything, and people somewhere in between. Wherever you are, and wherever you'd like to go, we'll find the way forward.

I’m a Coaching Psychologist and Accredited Master Coach with over 17 years of experience in supporting clients to navigate their way through challenges and change. My approach is to walk alongside you and tailor support to your changing needs on your journey to define and achieve your chosen outcomes -

Hi, I'm Steph, a Cambridge-based Chartered Clinical Psychologist, registered with the HCPC and BPS. I started my career in psychology 15 years ago and have over 10 years of experience in the NHS. I offer support to individuals, couples and families living with complex mental health difficulties or those who have experienced significant life events where therapy may be helpful. I specialise in low mood, anxiety, and trauma and have a passion for supporting those with neurodiversity. I recognise starting therapy can be a daunting process and I am committed to working with you to ensure we find the right pace and approach for you.

Life can become extremely difficult: things may seem overwhelming and out of control following a recent event or trauma; possibly something from your past has returned to worry you; or you realise that you need to finally tackle something you have been suffering with for a long time; perhaps you need to make an important decision and can’t think how to do so; or maybe you are plagued with anxiety or unhappy but with no clear idea as to why. Talking to someone and being fully listened to, without being judged, can be the start of a process of coming to terms with difficult and traumatic experiences.

I love working with people who are openminded and honest and looking to improve their lives and explore some of their blocks. I have a lot of experience working with depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction and low self esteem. If you aren't happy with yourself or your life, I would love to find out why and help you to explore ways of making positive changes. I have transformed my life in a positive way so I speak from experience when I say radical transformation is possible if you are open to it. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to talk about the things that are really important to you.

Living with high levels of anxiety, guilt. shame, or fear for a prolonged period, can negatively affect the way we perceive ourselves and others. It can make you feel misunderstood, lonely, and disconnected from others; Whether you wish to explore the past, want to understand current issues, or feel ready to make a positive change in your life at your own pace, we can work together to achieve your goals.

We all find life hard some of the time, and sometimes, it can feel like it's not getting any easier. We all want things to be different, we want change. But change is hard, and it’s harder to change alone. I help people with their difficulties. I help people to make the changes they need to make, to heal, to get back on their feet, to integrate past difficult experiences, and to finally live fuller and deeper lives.

I work with infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and their parents. My expertise lies in parent-child relationships, anxiety in early childhood and adolescence, ASD and trauma. I believe that both the parent and the child are integral to the therapeutic process. Sometimes the parent will be present in the therapy room, and at other times, the child and the parent will attend separately. The medium of therapy with the child depends on their age; for younger children, therapy involves play and play-based activities, gradually transitioning to a more conversational approach as they grow older.

INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLE THERAPY! If you suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement, abuse or at times you do not feel like yourself I can help you find a “better place”. Together, we can explore challenges in your life; potential changes that you may wish to make, and to reach decisions about your current situation. In our sessions we will aim to enable you to become more confident and aim for a happier and better life. You are now able to fund sessions through your medical insurance Axa, Aviva, Nuffield etc http://chestertoncounselling.website3.me/

Right now you might find it almost impossible to believe life will work out for the best. Sometimes change just comes along but most of the time it's up to us to get started. That's tough at the best of times. Maybe staying as you are just seems easier or, perhaps, you've now reached a point where you want to change but don't know how to go about it. Starting out can seem daunting, a risk even. That's where therapy comes in.

I specialise in supporting adults (18+) to recover from anxiety disorders, predominantly using CBT with ERP for OCD (e.g. panic disorder/panic attacks, agoraphobia, emetophobia and other phobias, social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety, OCD, etc.), and low self-esteem and low mood/depression using recovery focused psychotherapy.

I am a qualified Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, with a decade of experience within the NHS, including CAMHS, and inpatient services at Great Ormond Street Hospital. I trained to doctoral level at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust. I am able to work with young people up to age 25, presenting with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety or panic, self harm, struggles with school and learning, friendships, family relationships, or bereavement, trauma, separation anxieties, low self-esteem, anger and emotional regulation difficulties, disordered eating, or questions about gender and sexuality.
