I am a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor, committed to providing a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I am a registered member of the BACP, who has been working in the field of health and wellbeing for over 20 years. My expertise focuses on supporting clients with anxiety and those who are experiencing bereavement and loss.
Anxiety can show up in many ways, persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, panic, sleep difficulties, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed. Together, we can gently explore what may be driving these feelings, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies that feel realistic and empowering.
Grief is not a linear process, and it can affect every aspect of life, emotionally, physically and relationally. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, adjusting to a life-changing diagnosis, navigating sight loss, or experiencing another form of personal loss, I provide a space where your grief can be expressed without pressure or expectation. There is no “right” way to grieve, and I respect the individuality of each person’s experience.
I understand that seeking support can feel like a significant step, particularly during times of anxiety, grief or life change. My aim is to offer a steady, supportive presence where you feel heard, respected and understood. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, processing loss, or adjusting to change, I am here to walk alongside you and support you in making sense of your experience, finding stability, and reconnecting with your inner strength.
Why not contact me by email or phone to book a free 15-minute consultation and we can explore how we could work together?

I'm Astrid Coxon (PhD, MBPsS, MNCPS) and I'm a person-centred counsellor and psychologist. I offer both short and long-term therapy for adults, through one-to-one sessions, either face-to-face at my private practice or online via Zoom. Although many of the people I work with choose to have regular weekly sessions, I offer flexibility in session delivery - I appreciate that a regular weekly timeslot is not possible or preferable for everyone.
I have worked with clients from a broad range of backgrounds, exploring issues related to low mood, stress, sexuality, gender identity, neurodiversity, self-harm, perfectionism, relationships, chronic illness, and work conflict. I offer reduced fees for students or low-income.
I specialise in life transitions - perhaps you've had a life-changing diagnosis, relationship difficulties, or are considering making a significant career change. I'm interested in how we negotiate these transitions, exploring the decision-making process, and supporting clients at 'forks in the road.'

I offer a warm, welcoming, and confidential space where you will be listened to without judgement. As a Gestalt counsellor, I allow our sessions to be led by what feelings come up for you in the moment. I am committed to working alongside you, supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings, but not telling you what to do.
Perhaps you've noticed a shift in your mood, or you've been feeling more anxious than usual. It may be that you're feeling 'stuck' in a relationship, job, or emotional space that is limiting your life. Or maybe you are coming to terms with an ending, a death, or a trauma. Whatever it is that you're facing, I will sit with you to listen, to support your process, and to offer reflections if you'd be open to them.
My practice is: anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ inclusive and GSRD (Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity) inclusive.

I am a qualified counsellor based East Cumbria. I work from an accessible counselling room in central Penrith as well as online (Zoom) and over the phone. Until June 2025 I worked for RNIB as a manager at the advice line, and am fully aware of the many emotional and practical issues you may be facing.
I believe that we all deserve to recover from struggles and stresses that have challenged us and left us in desperate places, questioning life and ourselves. If you are navigating anxiety and depression, have been through traumatic times, are experiencing stress, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion, understanding, and without judgment. Together we can explore your feelings and thoughts, so that you can start making sense and move into a more positive future.
While my speciality lies in trauma and abuse recovery, my integrative approach allows me to help with a wide range of issues. Together, we can work toward the clarity and emotional relief you deserve. Finding the right counsellor is an important first step. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute introductory session, so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit before beginning your counselling journey.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, and I felt my whole world stopped, to be honest it did. Life was uncertain and frightening and I had no idea what I needed, other than everything to go back to the day before the diagnosis.
Meeting with Sight loss nurses, social workers, attending the sensory centre in Camelon was all helpful but I did not see myself as blind - I could still see. All the practical support was there but the emotional support was lacking.
At the sensory centre I met with a lovely lady who had the same eye disease as me and it helped a little. At last I could talk to someone who could help me navigate life with RP, work considerations and supportive aids, but again it was mostly practical.
I needed someone who could understand my fear, my loss of confidence, the shadow of the person I became. Someone who could understand my fears around being a mum, losing my independence and my driving license and the emotional toll it would take on everyone around me, my children and my marriage. Thinking I could continue life the 'way it used to me before the diagnosis' burnt me out emotionally, physically and mentally.
My marriage broke down, I became a lone parent, I struggled financially, my fears and anxieties grew but I sought Counselling and in that space, being able to explore the impact of sight loss on my life completely transformed how I saw myself.
I am who I am meant to be - a strong, successful and compassionate human being. I live proudly with my sight loss but it has been a difficult journey and so, I want you to know that I understand, and I can help you navigate your difficulties and hopefully inspire you to find light in the darkness and accept this part of who you are.
If you, or someone you care about is struggling emotionally please do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you and remember, the first step is always the hardest.

Hi, my name is Emma, I am a senior accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical and professional framework. The people closest to us can find it hard to be impartial and want to rescue us from our discomfort, often providing us with what we ‘should’ or ‘ought’ to do. Counselling is different. We will work collaboratively to explore the root cause of the difficulties you are facing. You will be in control of your journey, and we will work at your pace. I will work through your emotions and thought processes with you, allowing you the space to process how you are feeling. My role is to help you expand your awareness and better understand yourself, enabling you to move forwards towards a more fulfilling life. I am qualified to work with adults, children, young people and couples.

As a blind psychotherapist, I know from firsthand experience that sight loss can look like many different things. Sometimes it looks like sadness and struggle, wishing things were different. Sometimes it looks like bravery and boldness, pushing away any implications of difference. Sometimes it looks like change and uncertainty, wondering what’s next with no answers.
I know this because I have seen my own sight loss through all of these lenses and more. I’ve also seen it from the perspective of those who love me. My parents, who would do anything to see me smile, while not considering that they might need support too. My fully sighted brother, who invalidated his own struggles growing up, because they seemed insignificant in comparison to mine. My childhood friends, who never quite knew how to talk to me about what I was going through, even though they wanted to support me.
These are stories I have heard mirrored by my clients and their loved ones many times and maybe they sound familiar to you. If so, by working together in a safe, confidential space, we can start to explore your own stories. You will get to know yourself and those around you better, making sense of your emotions and building confidence in yourself and your ability to face life’s challenges.
Because when you feel seen, you can start to see the whole world differently.

My mode of therapy is psychodynamic, based on Freudian psychoanalysis focused on Freudian theory. Here, Freud’s basic, central, premise was his view of the mind. Freud’s belief intimated that some of what we experience on a day-to-day basis e.g. emotions, beliefs and impulses; takes place in the unconscious and is not available to the conscious mind. He also used the concept of repression to demonstrate that although an individual may not remember a (traumatic) event happening to them, the memory is locked away in the unconscious. However, the memory remains in the unconscious and can reappear in consciousness under certain circumstances, (e.g. times of high stress), causing problems for us even in the unconscious. Similarly, my belief, is that the unconscious mind governs behaviour to a much greater degree than people suspect. My therapy involves deep exploration of clients’ past to access, and understand, the root cause of their problems

Hi I’m Janet, a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
My Person-Centred approach is collaborative and flexible, and aims to give you a safe space where you can work at your own pace. With a gentle curiosity we can explore those parts of your world that are challenging or preventing you living your best life.
My specialism is working with issues related to loss or anticipated loss. The burden of carrying losses can be underestimated as they can be subtle. Although uncomfortable, they are tolerable. However, a life transition or a significant event can trigger these losses and create a sense of overwhelm, isolation, anxiety and/or depression. You are not alone. It is my privilege to ‘walk’ by your side with compassion, non-judgement, empathy, genuine kindness, integrity and intuition.

Personal experience of sight loss brought me to therapy many years ago, when I desperately needed someone to help me make sense of my situation. I found it truly transformative, and since then, I have dedicated my life to helping others experience the power of therapy.

I am also an accredited sight loss counsellor., with a sound understanding of some of the unique difficulties faced by people with a visual impairment, both on a practical and emotional level.
I provide a space where you feel able to express and work through your loss. I work alongside you and help you adjust to a new way of being. My practice is fully accessible, and I provide a flexible approach to working together. I offer telephone, online and face to face sessions.
Sight loss can have a significant impact on the person experiencing it, as well as their friends and family. I work with you whether you are directly or indirectly affected by sight loss.

I have 16 years of experience working in various modes of therapy. My first career was as a primary school teacher, specialising in music, which led me to train as a Music Therapist with Nordoff-Robbins. I quickly discovered that mental health was the area in which I felt most at home and to further my therapeutic practice, I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), qualifying in 2016.
While practising CBT I discovered that trauma was at the root of many people’s issues. This led me to train in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and I have been able to help many people using this technique. Eye movements are not essential for this therapy to work, and it can be adapted using tapping and other forms of bilateral stimulation.
I have experience working with adults who have diagnosed or suspected autism and ADHD.
As a committed Christian I welcome people of all faiths and none.

I’m an honest, warm supportive counsellor offering sessions by phone, online and face to face. I can’t wave a magic wand and I won’t be telling you what to do, but I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental space to explore any emotional difficulties. I know how important it can be to be heard and not feel alone so I will be alongside you, helping you to gain greater understanding of what is going on and where it stems from in a respectful and supportive way. I see therapy as a collaboration between the two of us, with the aim of helping you to better understand yourself. I’m an integrative counsellor which means I can draw on different models in our work together. We are all unique people which means we all need therapy which embraces our individuality rather than fitting in with one way of working. My approach is tailored to you; I work with people not problems.

I am a therapist who works using Transactional Analysis, an approach I value for its clarity and accessibility. At the heart of my work is careful listening and a wish to understand the themes that shape your unique life story, explore what has brought you to therapy, and begin to make sense of the difficulties you are facing.
I work collaboratively, helping you explore how past experiences and relationships may have shaped your ways of coping in the present. Through curiosity, gentle enquiry, and careful challenge, we can begin to notice what no longer serves you and make sense of how these patterns developed. This creates space for new understanding and choice, often helping to reduce feelings of anxiety or overwhelm.
I believe deeply in the value of counselling, having experienced its benefits personally and witnessed how it can support people to find relief from distress, develop greater self-understanding, and build a kinder relationship with themselves. My aim is to offer a warm, professional, and ethical space where you can feel welcomed, respected, and taken seriously.

I am accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold additional qualifications in Psychology, Health & Social Care, disability and Mental Health studies. In addition to specialist training, I have significant experience of working with clients affected by sight loss and the demands it can have on daily functioning and independent living. I am also informed by my own journey of sight loss which has given me some understanding of the emotional impact of such a significant change. I offer a confidential space to listen, accept and work with clients to find sources of support and strategies to help increase confidence and self esteem. I promote the idea that each client's experience is unique and while they cannot change what has happened to their sight, it may be possible to shape what happens next.

I am a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist with experience supporting individuals as an RNIB sight loss volunteer counsellor. My work is grounded in empathy, understanding, and creating a safe, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings openly.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a secondary school teacher for over 17 years. During that time, I supported young people of varying abilities, including neurodivergent students, and students with visual impairments which gave me a deep appreciation of the diverse ways people experience and navigate the world. This experience continues to inform my compassionate and flexible approach to counselling.
Through my work with individuals experiencing sight loss and visual impairment, I understand that the impact goes far beyond the physical loss of sight. Many people experience complex emotions such as grief, uncertainty, a loss of direction, or changes to their sense of identity when the future they once imagined begins to look different. I offer a supportive space where these feelings can be explored safely, at your own pace, and without judgement.
I also work with partners, family members, and loved ones of those experiencing sight loss or visual impairment. Changes in vision can affect relationships and family dynamics in many ways, and I provide a space where these challenges can be acknowledged, understood, and worked through with care and sensitivity.
My aim is to support people in making sense of what they are experiencing, helping them reconnect with their strengths and find a way forward that feels meaningful for them.

I'm a pluralistic therapist with training in integrating CBT, TA, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Expressive Arts Therapies and Ecotherapy into person-centred practice. I’ve worked as a counsellor since 2016. I’m experienced in working with a wide range of personal issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, loneliness, gender/sex/relationship diversity, neurodiversity, relationships, sexual violence, identity, menopause, ageing, trauma, abuse, and spirituality. I welcome short- and longer-term work with adults and young people.
Whether you’re losing you sight or have been blind since birth I’m aware that your sensory differences will have unique implications for the way we work together, so right from our initial contact, your feedback is welcome and important to help us connect and attune. I can be reached by phone, text, email and will provide information in the format you need. Sessions can be held in person at accessible premises in Denbighshire, and remotely over the phone or by video-link.
I’ll collaborate to develop a way of working together to suit. Simply talking with a therapist who offers a warm and accepting presence may be enough, but I'm also resourced with a variety of other expressive media for you to experiment with if you choose. There’s an open invitation to work with writing, sand, clay, natural materials, images, somatic techniques, movement, and sound to explore experiences, process feelings and self-reflect without judgment.
For those who prefer the outdoors, I’m skilled in ecotherapy. My approach to this is about respecting and including Nature as second therapist to restore connection and balance between mind, body, emotion and the environment. Attending to landscapes, weather and life forms enriches and inspires our time together, awakening the senses and the spirit to what life offers.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over a decade working on mental health helplines, where brief but meaningful conversations sparked my wish to support deeper, lasting change. I’ve long been drawn to relational roles, beginning with YouthNet in the late 2000s, supporting young people facing mental health challenges and the pressures of early adulthood.
I now work in private practice as a blind counsellor and an RNIB-accredited sight loss counsellor.
My work is grounded in extensive professional training, experience, and clear boundaries. Being blind also means I understand how sight loss can affect confidence, identity, relationships, and everyday independence.
I work with adults, young people aged 15 and over, and people in couple relationships. If you’re adjusting to sight loss, we can explore together the emotional and relational changes which often follow. I know how isolating this experience can feel, and how important it is to have a space based on respect, clarity, and shared understanding. My work values openness and honesty, making room for resilience, connection, and new ways forward. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

About me
I am an accredited psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals facing a broad range of emotional, psychological and physical challenges. My approach integrates psychodynamic and analytic perspectives, with a particular focus on the connection between psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
I am interested in how people deal with major life transitions such as early life trauma and shifting personal identities. I pay close attention to how experiences from the past may repeat themselves including physical and psychosomatic symptoms and relational patterns. I explore how evolving aspects of identity interact with both internal conflicts and external difficulties and expectations.
My aim is to provide a thoughtful, empathic space in which these complex layers can be understood and worked through in depth with such issues as anxiety, depression and mind body connection.

I am a BACP Accredited counsellor and supervisor who has over 20 years' experience working in the field of sight loss. I understand that for many it is important to speak with someone who has professional counselling experience and a genuine understanding of the impact sight loss can have on every day life.
Being diagnosed with a sight condition can feel devastating and many people describe the experience as similar to a bereavement.
I offer a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about how you are feeling and begin to make sense of the emotional impact. Alongside providing therapeutic support, I also have experience of the practical challenges that sight loss can bring. My aim is to help navigate your way to a place that feels less fearful, where you can regain a sense of control and build resilience for the future.

A warm welcome to you, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Losing your sight can bring profound emotional and psychological changes. You may feel stressed or anxious, experience low mood or depression, or, struggle with feelings of loss, grief or anger. It’s also common to feel a loss of confidence or a sense that you are not coping. These experiences can deeply affect your relationship with yourself. As well as with family, friends and your wider community.
Following my own experience of sight loss, I embarked on my counselling training, and I remain passionate about supporting others through these challenging times
I qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and I am a BACP accredited practitioner.
I live and work on the Kent coast, offering counselling to adults and couples in person, by telephone and online. In addition, I work as a supervisor overseeing the work of other therapists, facilitate groups and deliver training.
I have extensive experience providing both short term and long-term counselling within sight loss charities, the NHS and private practice at various stages of my career.

My passion really is about providing a safe space for people to feel heard, believed and understood. The magic of listening and truly being fully present with a client, allows me to see the fog lift for so many clients and allows them to rediscover themselves again. I have experience working with clients with ADHD and Autism, exploring how this impacts them and their lives but also working to find the positives this brings to their life. I also have experience working with chronic illness, exploring what the condition is like for the client as every individual is unique. I set up privately to be able to provide longer term support for clients allowing time to build a trusting relationship in which a client can work through things at their own pace, this is particularly useful when trauma and shame have been experienced by the client.

My name is Zainab, and I am an integrative counsellor offering online and telephone sessions.
Born with partial vision and later diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), my lived experience has shaped the empathy and understanding I bring to my work. I recognise the courage it takes to navigate life’s challenges and aim to provide a safe, compassionate space for exploration and growth.
My approach is holistic, integrating a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. I believe in supporting the whole person — mind, body, relationships, and spirit — and walking alongside clients as they move towards healing and greater self-awareness.
Outside of my practice, I find peace in nature, where the sounds of the natural world offer a sense of calmness.
