Therapists in United Kingdom

Michael Hastings

It has always been my belief that no matter what the situation a person finds themselves in or what stage of life they are at there is always the possibility of change driven by hope. Hope is however the essential prerequisite: without hope change is often chaotic, frightening, and unmanageable. Even a little hope is sufficient … it can be cultivated … it can be nurtured … from there possibilities emerge which draw us into our sense of agency, our sense of what could be … if we choose it… I am a humanistic and integrative therapist who is client-centred. I use whatever therapeutic tool I have available to bring the client to a space of growth and self-knowledge.

Dr. Heather Sequeira
Consultant Psychologist | Specialist in Trauma, OCD & Affective Intelligence
Dr Heather Sequeira is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist with a distinctive focus on trauma, OCD, and the affective intelligence that often lies beneath psychological distress. With over two decades of clinical and academic experience, she integrates lived insight with evidence-based practice to challenge narrow diagnostic thinking and expand how we support complex mental health. She has a special interest in helping men.
Heather is the founder of PTSDTraumaWorkshops, a BPS-approved training platform for psychologists and CBT therapists, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. She also works clinically within the NHS and contributes widely to national media, including BBC Radio 4, The Guardian, Sky News, and the World Service.
A former Senior Research Fellow at the University of London, Heather’s work bridges neurobiological, relational, and experiential understandings of trauma and OCD. She advocates for treatment models that not only reduce symptoms but attend to the meaning, sensitivity, and deep emotional processing many individuals bring to therapy.

My approach is Integrative, which means I draw from various approaches such as psychodynamic, humanistic, CBT, existential, and transpersonal. I am also trained in trauma-focused therapy approaches, such as CPT, TF-CBT, IRRT, NET, EFT and the IFS approach. I work with PTSD, C-PTSD, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship issues, identity issues, and loss of meaning/purpose. I also provide training in meditation and mindfulness.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy to individuals (young people/adults) who may have identified specific personal difficulties and/or want to understand more about themselves in order to allow choice, change, and movement in life.
I work with a number of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship problems, and personality disorders. My aim is to work with the person rather than the diagnosis.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why you react the way you do? I can help you understand your emotions, break old patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and in control.
I’m a qualified Humanistic counsellor working in Tring, Leighton Buzzard, and online. I help adults untangle their emotions, understand their patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling.
In practice, this might mean I reflect what you’ve told me so you can hear it in a new way, ask questions to clarify your thoughts, or offer a different perspective for you to consider. Sometimes we might work through compassion exercises, thought experiments, or mindfulness tools like breathing and grounding techniques. Whatever helps.

I work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

As a chartered psychologist with extensive psychotherapy training, I know the right questions to ask, to listen to what makes you who you are, to appropriately challenge you and then to develop a way of working that will help you to achieve your therapy goals. I will use techniques adapted to you, to help you to better understand what is happening for you. We can then explore what has been blocking you from leading the life you want to lead, and aid you in developing the insight / coping skills to let you lead that life. Coming to this website you have made the first step. Make the second by booking a free initial consultation through my website.

Would you like someone to really listen to you – who will give you time and space to express how you are, or to explore what might be wrong, without making judgements about you? I’ve been working in this field for over twenty years and can offer a range of approaches for tackling issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship problems. You are welcome to text, email or call me for a free initial chat. See my website for more details about me, how I work and how to make contact.

I am a Systemic Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families. Many of my clients are males between the ages of 25-55 from all walks of life. I am near the City of London financial sector and many of my clients present with work related stress, anxiety and depression. I have also worked with OCD, bi-polar disorder; panic attacks; and eating disorders as well as PTSD and complex trauma and how this can manifest in people’s lives, particularly in relying on substances like alcohol & drugs. I have quite a lot of experience of dealing with suicidal ideation and know that life can quickly feel quite overwhelming.

I work in a Person-Centred approach, which means offering and holding a space of understanding, acceptance and authenticity, that is ultimately led by you. It’s an approach that I feel attuned to due to its philosophy, its attempts to address power and how it can facilitate people in their process and journey of change, whatever that may be. I am interested in concepts of masculinity and the complex feelings of mixed heritage being born into a family with a background of different nationalities.

In my approach, I place importance on exploring the root cause of the problem and provide an affirming therapeutic space to facilitate change. A therapeutic relationship that is accepting and non-judgmental makes space for growth and healing. Psychotherapy and counselling invites an exploration of challenging past experiences and focuses on processing the feelings we hold as a result of these experiences. At the heart of our work together we will seek to understand our emotions and work alongside them. As we work through the foundations of patterns, behaviours, and feelings in a safe and supported environment, we gain greater insight into ourselves, this is where we can make significant change.
