Sarah Tomley Counsellor and IFS Therapist (Level 3, 2019), BACP, UKCP
When life gets really hard, we can find that even the things that would normally give us a temporary lift (alcohol, shopping, gaming, gambling, eating, sex, exercise) may lose their power to distract or help. It's for this reason that I've trained in a form of therapy that reprogrammes the whole system – every part of yourself – 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, disliked parts of yourself that you might wish would go away. Clients are surprised that such a friendly, often enjoyable form of therapy can radically change the way they feel about themselves and their lives.

Caroline Charles INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPIST (PSYCHODYNAMIC AND CBT), MBACP
I have built on my career in Integrative Counselling by training in high-intensity CBT therapy. This is a highly effective way to understand the relationship between how we think, feel and behave – and the negative cycles in which we get stuck. I teach simple strategies to introduce new ways of thinking and behaving, to halt months or years of negative thinking and avoidance.
If you're interested in a deep understanding of how your past continues to impact you now, I will work with you using psychodynamic therapy. This will help you make sense of the key areas of your life, so that relationships echoing your earliest templates can begin to move into fresh areas and ways of being, opening up your life to greater possibilities and ease.

LUCY ETHERINGTON COUNSELLOR, HYPNOTHERAPIST AND WRITING COACH, MBACP, UKCP
As a qualified hypnotherapist, I can help you to explore the root causes of any issues you’re struggling with and create a more effective and supportive mindset. Hypnotherapy is useful for working with negative behavioural habits or thought patterns, improving self-esteem, and for unblocking unhelpful beliefs that sabotage your life.
Hypnotherapy enables us to bypass the critical thoughts that hinder us and work deep in the unconscious, where it is said at least 99% of our daily brain activity takes place. If you feel you often do things without thinking, you’re right. Shining a light on our internal processes is the goal of all forms of psychotherapy, but hypnotherapy can achieve this much faster than other ways of working. It is completely safe and voluntary at all times - it is nothing like stage hypnotherapy! When we first meet, we will discuss whether counselling or hypnotherapy – or a mixture of both – will bring about the changes you're looking for.
Lucy is the author of Who the Hell is Melanie Klein? (Bowden & Brazil, 2020)
