Find a Therapist

Dr. Livia Pontes

I’m Dr. Livia, a clinical psychologist, and I’ve been in clinical practice for 23 years. I’m passionate about helping people to overcome obstacles and becoming their best versions. Modern life poses immense challenges on mental health and deciding to go for therapy can feel scary, especially for men, as society pressures men to perform and keep it together under pressure. But it doesn’t have to be like that!

I’m here to put you at ease and support you during your healing journey. I also have a lived experience of panic disorder, anxiety and depression and have done loads of therapy myself. Reach out for a complimentary 15 min discovery call and learn how I can help. Approaches: ACT, CBT, CFT, REBT.

Miss Hope Peckover

Coming to therapy can be a really tricky first step; perhaps you’ve now realised you are struggling, or you know you are capable of more and want to make the most out of life. There can be loads of reasons for coming to therapy. My aim in my therapy room is to help and guide you in the direction you want to go.

Caroline Stevens

I understand that it can be tricky talking about challenging personal issues, which is why I warmly invite you to contact me if you feel you would like some professional support. I am a person-centred counsellor, working in a relational way, meaning that through developing a trusting working relationship, your goals for therapy, and for life, can be realistically achieved.

I can offer face-to-face or online therapy, and either way, I feel that my approachable, friendly and professional manner makes therapy a successful and meaningful experience. I have worked with wide-ranging issues such as anxiety and depression to trauma, identity, conflict and more. Please make contact if you would like a free 30-minute consultation to see if you feel you would like to work with me.

Mrs Cheryl Backham

Hi I’m Cheryl, and a BACP registered counsellor based in Smallthorne. I have 6 years’ experience working with people who have experienced trauma. I charge £30 per hour, with special rates for some groups. My hours are flexible including evenings.

Kirsty Murray

We all struggle at times and you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever is impacting you. I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I am able to be flexible in my approach and tailor it to the person I am working with and the issues that they are currently facing. I offer face to face or remote sessions in Nottingham City Centre.

Mr. Richard Whitenstall

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement). From 2017 to 2019 I set up and ran a counselling service with London charity Positive21 (HIV). I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

After that I work online via “Psychology Today Sessions” (encrypted video service) each session lasts 50 minutes.

The model I use is Gestalt/Humanistic theory.

Mrs. Lis Starkey-Smets

Hello, I’m an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, working with individuals in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, and online.
I have experience supporting people experiencing a wide range of emotional difficulties and adapt my approach to suit each individual and their circumstances/needs. I have a particular interest in working with parents, both during the postnatal period and beyond. Please do take a look at my website to learn a bit more about what it might be like to work with me, and feel free to get in touch via email or telephone if you have any questions.

Samuel Tawn

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.

Andrew Greenway

I have an integrative, person-centred approach that uses varied models of humanistic therapy letting you lead the process. I provide a place for the exploration of difficult emotions and will support you in understanding that you have the tools that will ultimately help you continue on your journey.

Dr Kevin Scott

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.

Dr. Annemarie O’Connor

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.

Ben Rath

My training is in Transactional Analysis Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy, and I have experience working with a wide range of individuals over the past five years. I aim to build a strong and supportive relationship with my clients, offering a safe space to explore whatever difficulties they may be experiencing, and utilising a flexible approach to be able to tailor the therapy to each individual’s needs. I believe strongly in the potentials of compassion, insight and self-awareness in helping people heal psychological wounds and make positive life changes.

Dr. Anna Chisholm

As a BPS Chartered Health Psychologist I support people with health-related behavioural change. This might be supporting people with making a healthy lifestyle change, or living with a long-term condition. I have worked with people living with a range of long-term health conditions including obesity, psoriasis, kidney disease and multiple sclerosis. Change topics have included but are not limited to, weight management, eating, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep, and stress management. I work with multiple health psychology theories and therapeutic approaches in an integrated way so that support is individualised and tailored to you and the issues you are facing.

Robynne Wood

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.
