Our Psychotherapists & Counsellors

I offer counselling for individuals with a warm, caring approach to problem solving and healing. As an experienced, counsellor, my approach is accepting and non-judgmental, allowing clients time and space to be heard, and explore more about themselves, and the issues they are facing – at their own pace; most often bringing about lasting and positive results. I realise that counselling can seem really daunting, especially for those who have not undertaken it before and so I offer a free preliminary session to allow time for both of us to discover if we feel happy about working with each other.

I am an integrative counsellor, (BSc (Hons) Integrative Counselling) which means I can work in a way to suit each client’s individual needs. Whether you want some help coming to terms with major issues in your life or a listening ear to help you find a way forward, I can help you overcome present difficulties and find next steps. You may only require a few sessions or wish to engage in long term work. We would agree a way forward at our first session together, and monitor the work as we go. You are in control at all times.

I can help with a variety of issues such as, depression, anxiety, stress related issues, post-traumatic stress, self-esteem, anger management, worries about children or other family members, experiencing relationship difficulties, suffering illness or bereavement, experiencing employment difficulties , facing retirement, suffering or suffered abuse or struggling with eating disorders

Most people through life encounter difficulties that they have to deal with. For some the difficulties can all become too much and they feel they need support. As a counsellor and psychotherapist I offer a safe confidential space where you can explore and work through whatever issues you are struggling with and wish to bring to counselling. It is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship between us, so you feel comfortable and supported as you will be dealing with difficult and sometimes very personal thoughts and feelings. We will work together at your pace exploring whatever you wish to bring to each session, empowering you to develop your own strategies to cope and move forward with your life.

I am supportive, non-judgmental, and caring with a wealth of life experience. I offer an introductory session which is a chance for you to meet me and see if counselling is something you would like to proceed with at this point in time.

I have extensive experience of a wide range of issues including Depression, anxiety and stress; Relationship and family difficulties; Low confidence and self-esteem; Self-harm; Abuse; Trauma/ post-traumatic stress disorder; General counselling and other mental health issues; Eating disorders; Bereavement.

I have also most recently worked for Portsmouth Counselling Service, Youth Counselling Service and Step by Step which provides counselling support to young people in Surrey.

Life can be hard to handle - tough and confusing at any age or stage.

As an experienced humanistic and person-centred counsellor, with a special interest in Bereavement, Loss and associated Trauma, I believe passionately that the right counselling relationship can help us work through our own unique challenges and difficulties, whatever those are and whatever our circumstances. 

Relationships and events, success and failure, change, gain and loss - especially when we don’t choose what happens to us - can turn our lives upside down at any given moment, moving us through life stages but disrupting our “normal,” destabilising us and impacting our physical and mental health and general wellbeing. How do we find a way through trauma and grief which can feel like madness, to personal growth and development?

How we live doesn’t always make time or allow space for processing transitions and rites of passage, let alone for relating our past or present ‘stories’ and narratives to our future; but a single or a series of counselling sessions in a safe, accepting and non-judgemental space in which you build complete trust with an independent therapist, can provide both.

By attuning closely to how you recount and feel about your experiencing, I will help you really listen to and hear yourself; we will work together to examine, recognise, interpret and help you come to terms with highly personal emotions and habits, default responses and reactions, behaviour drivers and patterns, even your values, beliefs and conditioning.

No feeling is too small to make a difference in this process of becoming more self-aware and more in control as you discover how to reframe and reshape your lived experience to get insight and new perspectives - initially, to become more compassionate and accepting towards yourself.  You may come to realise how the coping strategies you use because they feel the best and safest, could actually be holding you back, choosing to let them go and replacing them with something that works much better for you going forward.

Whatever is challenging you right now in your life, do please explore how counselling might help. Email me at theholtpractice@gmail.com with any queries or to arrange an initial free 30-minute phone session. Website at: www.theholtpractice.co.uk  

I look forward to talking to you.

Welcome to my profile. I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist fully qualified and working with adults and young people age 12 and over. 

You might be considering coming to therapy because your usual way of dealing with difficulties is not helping any longer. Whatever you are experiencing coming to therapy is a brave step to feeling better or getting to know yourself better. I offer a welcoming space where together we can rediscover old forgotten resources and learn new ways of dealing with what life brings and move beyond unhelpful patterns. 

I have experience in working with individuals going through existential and life transitions, experiencing anxiety, stress, dysregulation, low mood and depression, overwhelm, shame and guilt, low self-confidence, identity and body image issues, historical or recent trauma, relational difficulties, bereavement and loss, addictions, chronic illness and pain, physical symptoms with emotional etiology etc

My fee is £55 for the first session. If we decide to work together my fee will be £55 for a 50 min session. I offer a sliding scale for young people, people in the helping professions, and people on low income. 

My approach to psychotherapy and counselling

My approach to therapy is humanistic and integrative. I use a variety of additional approaches and styles depending on the individual needs of the people I work with. This includes psycho education, mindfulness, somatic approaches, EMDR and Trauma informed treatment.

EMDR is an evidence based psychotherapy that has been recognise by the World Health Association as a first choice treatment for PTSD which can be result of overwhelming experiences, such as a sudden death of a close one, medical complications, environmental disasters, abuse, neglect, divorce, repeated exposure to stress…

I can offer EMDR as part of your regular therapy with me. I can also work alongside your psychotherapist or counsellor to tackle traumatic experiences with EMDR. 

Counselling and Psychotherapy with young people

My main area of focus with the younger population is overwhelm and dysregulation, mood swings, identity questions, body image issues including disordered eating, self-harming, peer pressure, anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-consciousness and shyness, low self-esteem, phobias, exam stress and other stress related difficulties.

I try to create a welcoming and friendly space in which me and the young person can build rapport and work together. My aim is for the young person to feel supported and empowered. I teach self- regulation and I adjust my approach to the inclinations of the young person. We can use talking or creative approaches as needed.

I accept self-referrals of young people age 16 and over.

When the young person is age 12-15 I will start by taking a referral from the parent. I will then meet or talk to the parent over the phone or at the beginning of the first session

I am Sally Lorinda Strawberry, a BA Hons qualified counsellor/psychotherapist working with adults who are experiencing issues such as relationship problems, including infidelity, abusive behaviours and coercive control, anxiety, and family issues. I can also help you if you are struggling with depression, addictions, long-term and terminal illness, social injustice, and bereavement.

I offer you a safe, confidential space for non-judgemental support to explore your struggles with life’s challenges and difficult emotions. As a Humanistic counsellor, I firmly believe in promoting your autonomy and gaining an understanding of your experiences with a caring, compassionate, empathetic, warm, and accepting way of being. I will provide the foundation for building a trusting, equal rapport to explore your distress, relationships,  behavioural patterns, or any other issues you wish to discuss. 

Establishing a collaborative relationship is key to our work together, which will allow you to think of things you may not have considered before, creating opportunities for personal growth, positive change, and acceptance. I will support you as you regain control over your life or develop coping strategies.

Whether you’ve had counselling before or not, I'm aware of the courage it may take to make the first step towards contacting a therapist. I, therefore, offer a free 30-minute introductory call to establish your needs, ask any questions you may have and find out if I am the right counsellor for you. A counselling session is £60-00.

Laura Wilson - Trainee Psychotherapist (Gestalt Therapy)

Meaningful change is hard work. I believe having someone in your corner makes it more possible. I have expertise that can help you to unravel your difficulties and find solutions from within. This type of support is for people in crisis as well as those who are feeling dissatisfied, stuck or in need of more support. I will support you to develop a more attuned relationship to yourself, your body, and your experience. This can enable greater awareness of choices and the possibility for change.

Difficulties in relationships, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, experiences of trauma and abuse, and feeling overwhelmed are all common reasons why people seek therapy. Gestalt therapy provides a space to explore the stories and patterns in your life and where you might have become stuck. Ways we adapted to cope in the past often function in the background of our awareness, influencing our perceptions, relationships and behaviour. We will work together to see what holds you back from leading a more satisfying life and support you to take steps towards change.

I am a final year trainee psychotherapist, having completed my training at the Metanoia Institute in London. I am expected to qualify in 2024 with a Master's in Gestalt Psychotherapy, a five-year training programme. I have a Post-Graduate Certificate in People and Organisation Development and am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy.

 50 Minute session is £60-00

About Me

Jamie Carroll, Trainee Counsellor, (Psychosynthesis therapy)

I help people overcome depression, anxiety, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), loneliness, relationship break ups, grief and loss. 

I am here to listen and give you the space to be you. I can help you find new perspective on challenges, setbacks, difficult emotions, and suffering.

Our emotions and intuition are signposts to what is really going on inside us. So alongside using talk therapy and CBT, I also train clients how to become more aware of their feelings and inner messages. For those who are open to it, I can also use hypnotherapy. 

I am a trainee Counsellor (under supervision) completing a Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling with the Institute of Psychosynthesis. Psychosynthesis is a form of Psychotherapy based on the idea that we have a wiser Higher Self inside ourselves which we can learn to tune into and allow to guide us. I am currently also working towards an MA in Psychosynthesis which will be completed by March 2024. I have also trained in hypnotherapy with the Ericksonian and Newton schools.

Therapy should be a soulful process and you should feel like you can connect with me. So I offer a free 30 minute telephone / zoom consultation where you can ask me questions and work out whether you would feel comfortable working with me.

My fee is £60 for 50 minutes.

If you want an experience that is truthful and on the level, then feel free to reach out to me.
