I am a qualified counsellor, experienced in working with adults and young people aged 14 onwards. I can offer you a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to explore whatever is happening in your life.

You may decide to start counselling for many reasons. You could be dealing with difficulties including, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, or other challenges that are impacting your wellbeing. Or you could be overwhelmed by feelings such as sadness, confusion, anger, or distress. You may wish to explore your personal experience of neurodiversity. 

Whatever is on your mind, I will work with you specifically in relation to your situation.

I respect everyone's uniqueness and individuality. and the focus of our therapeutic work together is to process your past or current distress. Understanding how these feelings are influencing your mental health, relationships, or general well-being can help you make sense of your circumstances, gain greater self-awareness, and broaden your perspectives, so that change becomes possible.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling. Sessions last for 50 minutes and take place at the same time on a weekly basis. Please feel free to get in touch for more information or to book an initial session.  

Starting your counselling journey can be a daunting idea, I provide a safe and supportive space to help individuals grow and heal in their personal lives. Every individual is unique and therefore my counselling approach focuses on each individual's personal context in order to help address difficulties they may be experiencing. 

I have worked with a number of organisations and currently work in an NHS IAPT service, as a counsellor and deputy clinical service manager, working with adults struggling with anxiety and depression. I offer one-on-one counselling sessions, following an integrative approach in an emotionally supportive, confidential and relaxed atmosphere. To help individuals deal with anxiety and depression.

I have a comprehensive understanding of narcissistic abuse. Whether it is past or current issues that you want to work through, you do not have to face your challenges alone.

Therapy can help you to understand yourself better and move you towards creating a life that aligns with your values and aspirations. I am dedicated to providing you with a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions and challenges. Helping you to gain awareness and clarity. 

You may have struggled to find someone who understands what you are going through, maybe you feel very alone and helpless. My commitment is to help support you through whatever challenges you bring. You don’t have to carry everything on your own. If you reach out to me you will receive my warmth, empathy and understanding. 

I am open and interactive in my sessions so as to establish a real relationship with each person I work with. What you will experience in our sessions is my genuineness and sincerity. 

I adopt an integrative approach to counselling. Basically, that means that the methods I use are underpinned by several theoretical concepts. There isn’t evidence to suggest that any single approach is superior to the others, so using an integrative approach allows me to incorporate various techniques depending on my client’s presenting needs.

I am professional, caring and non-judgmental. I am here to help you on a journey towards self-discovery and healing. I believe that it is the trusting relationship between myself and my clients that promotes healing and transformative change. 

I’m Grainne (‘Gronya’), an experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist trained in humanistic, psychodynamic and CBT approaches, which I draw on to explore your individual concerns. 

You may have specific goals you want to address in therapy, or you may be feeling stuck or alone with your feelings and unsure of a way forwards. I will endeavour to be alongside you to explore your difficulties and discover what you may need for positive change. 

I work with clients on a range of issues including anxiety, depression, struggling with loss, relational conflict and challenges associated with key life stages and trauma. I am compassionate and will support you to process previous experiences, consider new perspectives, and gain a greater understanding of yourself and what can enable you to flourish.

My focus is on building an environment where you feel safe, supported, and free to express yourself.  I will listen and I won't judge you. We will work at your pace, to help you find clarity and feel able to make the changes you want to make.  

I am a registered member of the BACP and have worked for an NHS counselling service, a women’s charity and in private practice. My area of particular interest is in empowering women coping with relational trauma and low self-esteem. 

I offer short term (6-12 weeks) and longer term therapy for adult individuals. Sessions last 50 minutes, cost £70 each, and can be face to face or online. If you'd like to find out more, don't hesitate to get in touch.

My passion is wellness, and I work holistically for you to understand your emotions at a deeper level. Emotions can affect our sense of self if not managed or reflected upon in an empathic and safe way.

I work with adults, aged 18 and over, presenting with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, intergenerational trauma, grief, loss, relationships, and identity weight/body esteem.  You may not understand what is happening but know something is amiss and need clarity on the situation. I’m here to hold space for such matters.

I use different theoretical approaches such as psychodynamics, person-centred, transaction analysis and cognitive behaviour theory plus a range of interventions to assist in your well-being, depending on what you want to work through. Going at your pace through exploration of your situation assists you in becoming aware of the patterns in your life that could be the root cause of your struggles.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a qualified Reiki Master Teacher, Sound Therapist and Life Coach (specialising in Holistic Health and Wellness) as well as a Registered Nurse. I have spent a number of years working in the Emergency Department before choosing to focus on other holistic and caring ventures. The combination of the all of these modalities has given me a wholesome insight into the physical,
spiritual and mental health aspects of wellbeing, and I focus on all aspects during my sessions.

Reiki Healing is all about rebalancing and reconnecting to our authenticity so we can positively improve our wellbeing. It is an ancient Japanese healing therapy which connects to the universal energy. During Reiki healing therapy, hands are placed on or just above specific areas of the body to aid rebalancing. This promotes healing, relaxation, and supports reducing stress and anxiety. There are no contraindications for Reiki therapy so everybody can benefit from it. 

Sound Therapy is a beautiful modality that uses the healing properties of sound frequencies.  Using sound for healing is an ancient practice that harnesses various sounds and vibrations to enhance physical, mental and emotional wellness. Sound waves can assist in balancing the body's energy, alleviating stress, and promoting relaxation for the mind, body and soul. The gentle, rhythmic tones of instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes can support you to find a peaceful meditative state, whether through guided sessions or personal exploration, sound therapy provides a serene experience that nurtures the spirit and cultivates a sense of inner peace.

Holistic Health and Wellness Coaching is a type of coaching that focuses on supporting your overall wellbeing including mind, body, and spirit, rather than just treating one part of you. A holistic coach works with you to improve your health and wellness in a way that looks at the big picture. It's about helping you make balanced, healthier choices that align with your whole life, so you can feel your best in all areas.

The sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, and clients often finish a session more focused and calmer.
