We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.

Person-Centred Therapy places particular emphasis on the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. When we work together you will find a warm, accepting, consistent and careful listening ear, free from judgement. This is a very respectful relationship where the focus is on you and your concerns. I aim to offer you a relationship that you can trust and where you will feel safe enough to talk freely about anything you wish.

Dr Kevin Scott
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. Livia Pontes
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.

‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’
The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for. I will not judge or critique you, tell you what to do, think or say, or who you should be. I will always meet you with unconditional positive regard, helping you to explore and navigate towards new insights and perspectives which can bring about a better way of relating to yourself, others or situations which you may find challenging.

Our past and present are intimately linked by our memories. Our memories are heavily influenced and based on feelings we had surrounding an event or experience. These experiences may be impacting your life right now, even the ones that might seem irrelevant or insignificant. If we don’t become aware of this connection it will keep affecting our future. Prolonged stress can manifest itself in physical forms, including illness, lack of energy, problems with sleep, headaches, depression and anxiety. My clients are men who have experienced trauma and I see the difficulty men have in accessing their emotions and feelings. I offer a safe space with compassion working towards helping men to process their emotions and feelings.

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.
