Sarah Tomley Accredited Counsellor and IFS Therapist (L3), BACP, UKCP
When life gets really hard, one of the cruel ironies is that the tools and strategies we've always relied on to keep going may not work any more. Even the things that would normally give us a temporary lift (a glass of wine, shopping, gaming, etc.) may lose their power to help. It"s for this reason that I've trained in a form of therapy that reprograms the whole system (mind and body) that's you, to bring about transformative, long-lasting change. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy engages with the parts of you that try to cope, the parts that have had enough, and even the deeply exiled parts of yourself that you might wish would go away. And it's a friendly, often enjoyable form of therapy. Over the 10 years I've studied and worked in psychotherapy, this is the most powerful form of therapy I've found.

Lucy Summerscales Accredited Counsellor and Children's Therapist MBACP, UKCP
I have extensive experience of working with depression, bereavement and loss, and have had the privilege of working with clients at the St Helena Hospice and North East Essex Bereavement Service for several years. I am also qualified to offer therapy for children, and work at Colchester Sixth Form College as a student counsellor, where my work includes anxiety, stress, abuse, assault, eating disorders and self harm. In my work at Insight Counselling Ipswich, I see clients with a broad range of issues, including trauma, depression, loss and relationship issues, and I offer both short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapeutic work. I am now beginning to take on private clients aged 16–18.

Lucy Etherington Accredited Counsellor and Writing Coach MBACP, UKCP
My approach is integrative, which means I am familiar with many theories and techniques that I can draw from and adapt to each client. I specialise in trauma and work with clients who have experienced rape, abuse and childhood sexual abuse at the Sue Lambert Trust. Trauma comes in many guises and is also a rich source for the latest research and discoveries in counselling theory and neuroscience. “The paradox of trauma,” wrote psychologist Peter Levine, “is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform and resurrect.”
