My name is Hannah, and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I specialise in supporting adults and children and young people affected by trauma, including sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and the longer-term emotional impact of these experiences. I also work with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.

I offer a consistent, stable and supportive therapeutic relationship, where you can explore your experiences at a pace that feels safe for you. This may include both present-day difficulties and past experiences that continue to affect how you feel today.

My approach is person-centred and integrative, which means I adapt how I work to meet your individual needs. You remain at the centre of the process, and together we can explore what feels most helpful for you. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT-informed techniques, to support understanding, emotional regulation, and change.

Life can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who we are becoming. As an Integrative Humanistic Therapist, I offer a warm and supportive space to pause, reflect, and find your way forward.

Drawing on mindfulness, meditation, yoga, somatic approaches, and trauma-informed practice, I support people experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, trauma responses, trauma recovery, and periods of transition. I also support women navigating perimenopause and menopause, offering holistic support that recognises the emotional, physical, and identity shifts these transitions can bring.

My work is shaped by a deep respect for each person’s story, culture, and unique way of experiencing the world.

I’m Phil, a qualified Integrative Humanistic Counsellor, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills, and BACP Registered Member. I provide personalised counselling for adults (18+) in a confidential and supportive environment. Counselling is not a one-size-fits-all process, each person’s journey is unique, and sessions can take different forms depending on your needs and what feels most helpful at the time. Some people benefit from traditional talking therapy, others from structured approaches, and some enjoy creative ways of exploring thoughts and feelings. My aim is to work in a way that fits your pace, your comfort, and your individual journey. Sessions are offered online, by telephone, and face-to-face, providing flexibility to suit different lifestyles and circumstances. My practice is built on respect, collaboration, and recognising the individuality of every client. The counselling space is warm, safe, and non-judgemental, where experiences are listened to, feelings are valued, and personal insights are encouraged.

Hello. My name is Debbie. I am one of the Directors at New Horizons Network Ltd.
Bringing more than a decade of experience in therapeutic work, I am passionate about helping others create a future that is more in line with their true authentic selves and their dreams. For many of us, our life experiences through childhood and beyond can halt or hinder us from flourishing in our lives. My work is rooted in helping individuals unlock their potential by identifying and overcoming internal and external beliefs, fears and other potential obstacles stopping them from moving forward. I believe deeply in our capacity to change how we think, feel, and interact with the world, and I’m committed to guiding others toward positive, lasting change.
My journey into mental health was shaped by personal experiences of poor mental health, both in my own life and among my family and friends. This led me on a path of self-discovery and professional growth, which fuels my dedication to helping others break free from negative patterns and achieve the lives they desire.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have been affected by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, or who have been in relationships that have undermined their sense of self-worth and confidence. Life transitions such as leaving home, marriage, parenthood, menopause, and aging can also profoundly impact our identity and well-being, and I’m passionate about supporting clients through these changes.
In addition to mental health, I’m deeply invested in health and wellbeing, recognizing that cultivating healthy habits is a lifelong journey. I understand the challenges of breaking free from negative behaviours and thoughts, often used as coping mechanisms in an incongruent life. My goal is to help clients explore healthier ways to live, aligned with their true desires.
I offer and have experience in Counselling, Psychotherapy, Coaching, and Supervision. My experience spans both private practice and the NHS Talking Therapies service (formerly known as Improving Access to Psychological Therapies – IAPT). I take an integrative approach to therapy, with a particular focus on Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD). I offer a safe space which is empathic, understanding, non-judgemental, and collaborative.
As an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the highest ethical standards in my practice. I have contributed to the development of several counselling services, always striving to make therapy and coaching more accessible. Additionally, I offer clinical supervision to counsellors, coaches, and trainees, and have facilitated online groups.
