Genny

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a background of many years working with individuals for the NHS as a speech and language therapist.
I have an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Roehampton University and work with adults presenting with a wide range of difficulties concerning their mental wellbeing.
I draw from the psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to psychotherapy and consider the therapeutic relationship to be central to the process. I place the unique experience of the individual at the centre of the therapeutic process. Together we embark on a journey to explore and understand what may be causing the present difficulty and any associated patterns or behaviours that may contribute to the unhappiness and work out together what might facilitate change.
“It’s never too late to become the person you might have been” George Elliot.
Fees: £45 - £65
Availability: Wednesday afternoon and all day Friday

If you’re facing strained relationships, coping with stress or anxiety, or feeling stuck and seek an impartial ear, you’ll find me a warm and respectful counsellor who genuinely wants to hear your story.
As a BACP registered integrative counsellor I believe in building a trusting, collaborative relationship with sessions centred around you and your needs.
You will have time and space to express yourself openly and be accepted for your uniqueness. We’ll work at your pace to understand what you want to achieve from counselling and the challenges you face. I aim to help you recognise that your emotions serve a purpose and that there is a reason behind how you feel.
By sharing your story, I’ll help you rediscover your inner self. Together, we’ll explore behavioural patterns and past experiences that limit your ability to take charge of your life. Our goal is to empower you to make informed life choices that sit comfortably with your values as the person you are today. From there we’ll develop coping strategies that promote positive change and healthier decisions.
I know how hard it is to open up and ask for help. Regardless of the challenges, feeling uncertain about where to begin is normal. Be assured I am here to give you the support you need.
Through a career in higher education, and as a qualified massage therapist, I understand the impact of emotional, mental, and physical pain on overall well-being. This insight enriches my counselling practice and optimises the support I offer.
Fees: £35 - £65.
Availability: In-centre or online.

Guyonne

I am an integrative counsellor and come with thirty years’ experience of working with people of all ages and backgrounds in higher education settings and social justice environments.
We all need support at some stage. As we move through our life’s journey, we face continually changing joys and challenges. If life is becoming a struggle, then you may find talking about it can help. Coming into counselling with me will involve exploring your unique path in life and helping you find ways to embrace that uniqueness more completely and face your challenges.
I am BACP registered as a Psychosynthesis Counsellor, which recognises personal potential and the importance of charting a meaningful path in life, as well as working with early blueprints and historical influences.
My own journey has involved human rights awareness and mediating cultural inequality issues. I have worked with individuals, groups and communities to foster healing and positive change.
I work with a range of established therapeutic approaches and we will use this flexibility to adapt to your individual circumstances. I integrate a psychosynthesis perspective with other practical approaches in support of your journey.
If you would like to know more about me or my practice, please get in touch with any questions or enquiries.
Fees: £65 at the Stress Project. Some Concessionary rates available.

Deciding to prioritise one’s own mental wellbeing is one of the most rewarding acts of self-kindness an individual can perform - and choosing to do so via the process of therapy and a supportive therapeutic relationship can be a significant step towards this goal.
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and typically work with adults who are experiencing low-mood, anxiety, depression low self-esteem, struggling with ongoing health or relationship issues, or trying to process a traumatic past. Sometimes clients simply feel stuck and need a safe space to explore and process what is happening. I provide a safe confidential non-judgemental space for you to express or reflect on whatever issues have brought you to me and together we can navigate a way forward. No two clients are alike, and therapy cannot offer all the answers but often clients find that engaging in a dynamic and supportive therapeutic relationship can have a profound effect on emotional wellbeing.
My training draws on elements of relational psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic approaches. This allows me to tailor an approach suitable to your individual needs. Working psychodynamically involves looking at how relationships from the past, and present, may be informing your identity, relationships, and internal world. Existential explorations may illuminate how you make life choices and create meaning or make decisions in an uncertain world.
I work relationally with my clients and believe the therapeutic relationship to be a powerful force for insight, awareness and ultimately change. Important connections and new perspectives can be achieved within the bounds of a dynamic therapeutic relationship and many clients find this hugely helpful.
At present I work solely out of The Stress Project with adults of all ages on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time.
I have an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from the Regent’s School of Psychotherapy and Psychology and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics.

Beth

I work with a philosophical outlook and an open, friendly approach. I am trained in an integrative approach, which primarily includes, but is not limited to, the person-centred and psychodynamic schools.
I believe that each person has better advice to give themselves than anyone could give to them, and as such I try to reflect back and gently question what a client has to say to find out this advice.
I have worked with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief and sexuality, among many experiences, and am LGBT+/queer-friendly. I have also been counselling online since the pandemic, and continue to do so.
"The task [the therapy] is not solely that of the counsellor or psychotherapist. The work lies in the creative space between, in the relationship." - Petruska Clarkson
Availability: In person at The Stress Project on Thursday from 5pm – 8pm.
Alternative times are available for online sessions.
