Hi my name is Samantha, As a qualified counsellor specialising in anxiety, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in their journey toward healing.

With a gentle Humanistic approach and deep empathy, I help individuals untangle the complex threads of anxiety and rediscover a sense of calm and self-confidence.

Anxiety is usually linked with overthinking things, and often leads to convincing ourselves of the worst possible reasons or results of what may be happening in the future. If we tend to feel worried in a negative way about things this is more likely to cause us trouble. Rather than trying to remove anxiety it may be better to recognise it has its uses, a bit like pain which can be useful to alert us to potential physical problems. But anxiety can get out of control, so with some help it can be returned to being useful.

I support people living with persistent worry, heightened alertness or strong emotional and physical reactions that feel difficult to understand or regulate. My approach is steady, relational and culturally attuned, offering space to explore what sits beneath overwhelm, make sense of long‑standing patterns and ease the impact of panic, avoidance and overthinking. Together, we work toward clarity, grounding and a more spacious, sustainable way of being, where your inner world feels steadier and more fully your own.

Hello, I'm Catherine I have a BSc(Hons) Degree in Therapeutic Counselling. I'm an experienced mental health therapist working with children, young people and adults. I can help you with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, trauma and relationship issues. I'm compassionate, kind and friendly, offering a secure calm space to work through any issues together at your own pace.

My therapeutic approach integrates psychotherapy, counselling, and somatic awareness, recognising the deep connection between mind, body, and relationships. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotional and relational difficulties at their own pace. Drawing on Transactional Analysis and body-based practices, I support clients in gaining insight into unconscious patterns, increasing self-awareness, and working towards meaningful and lasting change.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Accredited CBT Therapist and EMDR Practitioner so I can tailor therapy to best meet your needs.

My area of expertise is in Eating Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Complex PTSD as well as Neurodivergence. I also work with anxiety disorders and specific phobias, including emetophobia.

As an integrative psychotherapist with IFS & CBT training, I help people overcome anxiety by understanding its underlying causes and applying effective approaches to reduce it.

These are some of the approaches I use :
1 Learning techniques to relax at times of stress
2 Challenging negative thinking and replacing it with more healthy attitudes
3 Sharing feelings of anxiety rather than bottling them up
4 Looking at proactive approaches to face fear-provoking issues
5 Resolving past trauma that underlies the anxiety

My role is to get to know you and for you to develop a greater understanding of yourself in a safe, confidential, supportive and jargon-free environment - a space for you to explore what you want to explore, also how you feel, think and act. Working at your own pace, I offer guidance and support so fresh ways of seeing yourself, the options and making choices become available. Alongside the issues you bring to counselling, we may look at where you would like to be in your life and what prevents you getting there, so far.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. For some it's when there's a crisis, for others it's to work on themselves, or better understand their relationships with others.

Whatever your reason for reaching out, I'm here to support you, by providing a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Counsellor, integrative CBT-REBT Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist.

Hello and welcome...my name is Sharon and if you're reading this then I imagine you are struggling with anxious thoughts or feelings that are affecting your daily life.

Hi, I’m Cerian and I'm trained in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy. I can work with clients from anywhere in the UK online or over the telephone. I also offer face-to-face sessions at a centre near Narberth, Pembrokeshire.

I have a degree in Psychology; I’ve always been interested in the human mind and our behaviours. Throughout my career I've worked in roles where caring for others and understanding the needs of others was the core focus.

I am a BACP accredited Counsellor with over 18 years experience. I provide individual therapy for adults (18+).

If anxiety is holding you back, I'm here to help you. My approach to anxiety counselling is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll uncover the patterns of anxiety in your life and explore new ways of responding. I'll provide you with a supportive environment to learn practical skills, empowering you to cope with difficult emotions and build a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Anxiety, fear, and phobias are natural emotional responses that everyone experiences at some point. However, when these emotions become excessive, persistent, or overwhelming, they can interfere with daily life and your mental health and well being.

Anxiety is exhausting. That constant hum of worry, the racing thoughts, the sense that something is wrong — even when nothing seems to be.
You try to keep going, keep smiling, keep coping… but inside, it’s chaos.
Maybe you have never really felt safe – not with others, not even with yourself."

If you are tired of living like this, you are not alone. And you do not have to do it all on your own anymore.

Hi I'm Katie. I’m an experienced integrative therapist, who works with adults and young people. I specialise in working with trauma and anxiety, along with extensive experience of working with clients with ADHD.

I specialise in working with adults using an attachment-based approach to therapy. I believe anxiety and phobias are not signs of weakness, but protective responses shaped by earlier experiences and relationships. Together we can explore the patterns beneath your anxiety while building practical tools to help you feel more secure, grounded, and in control.

Whether its a fear of flying, public speaking, enclosed spaces, or something less easily named, phobias can deeply affect everyday life. You don't have to face them alone.
