Stress & Wellbeing
Stress and anxiety
Everyone experiences stress and anxiety differently, and there's more than one counsellor here who works with it, so it's worth knowing who does what.
Sharon and Lizzy both work extensively with anxiety, including exam, school and college-related stress. Louise's work with grief, fertility and major life transitions often touches anxiety and low mood too, since the two tend to arrive together. Massage can help you physically switch off when talking isn't what you're after, and some people find hypnotherapy, which Lizzy also offers, helpful for anxiety-related habits.
Not sure which fits? Message us, there's no wrong door here.
Low mood and depression
Sharon has direct experience supporting people through depression, and Louise's bereavement and trauma work frequently overlaps with low mood linked to grief or major change.
Fertility, baby loss and becoming a parent
Louise works as a fertility counsellor for a national clinic alongside her HealthSpace practice, and supports people through preconception, pregnancy, baby loss and the transition into parenthood. See also Trying to conceive under Women's Health conditions.
Relationships and couples counselling
Sharon offers dedicated couples and relationship counselling, for partners, family members or colleagues. Louise and Lizzy both also work with relationship issues individually.
Divorce, work stress and life transitions
Louise supports people through divorce, work-related stress, anger and other major life transitions, alongside her grief and trauma work.
Serious illness and health-related anxiety
Lizzy spent several years supporting people affected by cancer and their relatives through Macmillan, and works more broadly with health-related anxiety in private practice.
High-functioning stress and burnout
If you're someone who copes by pushing harder, and your body's started sending signals your mind's been ignoring, Antonia's approach blends talk therapy with body-based methods, particularly suited to perfectionism and burnout in people used to holding everything together.
Trouble switching off
For when your mind won't quieten down, even when your body's tired.
Smoking cessation
Lizzy, also a qualified hypnotherapist, offers this alongside her counselling work.
Bereavement, grief and loss
Louise leads bereavement services in a busy NHS hospital, with particular experience supporting families through baby and child loss, and those affected by suicide. Sharon and Lizzy both also support clients through grief and loss more broadly, Lizzy often using creative, pluralistic methods alongside talking therapy.
If a loss is recent or particularly difficult, message us and we'll suggest who's likely to be the best fit.
