OUR TEAM

Meet our qualified and trainee therapists who work with individual clients.

My name is Jaynie Boyce, and I’m a qualified therapist using Transactional Analysis (TA).  I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults and young people.

I am passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves and their relationships.

Through the lens of TA, I work with clients to explore the dynamics of their communication and behaviour, empowering them to recognise unhelpful patterns and create positive change.

Transactional Analysis offers a practical and accessible framework for understanding how our childhood experiences shape the way we interact with the world as adults.  I guide my clients in exploring these patterns, supporting personal growth, improved self-awareness, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I work with clients who face a range of challenges, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and emotional difficulties.

My approach is collaborative, empathic, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that we all have the potential to change and thrive with the right support.

In our sessions, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions, gain insight into your beliefs about self, others and the world (life script), and work toward achieving your goals. Whether you are looking for short-term support to navigate a specific challenge or deeper, long-term therapy to address ingrained patterns, I’m here to walk with you on your journey.

My special interest is in working with neurodivergence. By utilising personal experiences, training and research, I advocate for understanding and acceptance of diverse cognitive styles. My goal is to empower individuals by promoting strategies that enhance their unique strengths while fostering an inclusive environment.

My additional training and work with Place2Be and Childline enable me to also provide a safe and inclusive space for young people.

I am an individual member of COSCA, UKATA, BACP & UKCP.

 

Hi! My name is Lynsey and I am a qualified counsellor and member of BACP.  I offer counselling sessions for individuals online, via Zoom.

As an integrative counsellor, I use different approaches from person centred, psychodynamic and CBT depending on your need and presenting issue.
I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where we can work together collaboratively to navigate your difficulties.
I find it extremely healing to revisit areas of the past that have caused trauma, however I believe our hopes for our future also play a vital part in the therapeutic journey too.

I work with both children and adults and so I enjoy working creatively with clients to explore issues and tap into the subconscious.

I have a passion for inclusion and a heart to make counselling as accessible as possible. I am working towards level 3 BSL currently and have worked with clients of varying additional support needs.

I believe counselling to be deeply personal and naturally no two counselling journeys are ever the same which makes each journey beautiful and unique.

I am Louise Sinclair and I am a fully qualified counsellor and member of the BACP.

There may be many reasons to consider counselling including trying to work through difficult emotions, coping with bereavement or loss or living with the consequences of surviving trauma. I have a range of experience working with people who have faced many emotional challenges. I can support you to face these challenges and work through them. I am committed to working with you and the time we spend together will be focused on you and what you want to achieve.

I am passionate about helping people and believe in the difference counselling can make when we work together to process your experiences and feelings.

Hello, my name is Shaun and I am a trainee psychotherapist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I am a curious individual who will support you to detangle whatever challenges you are facing.

CBT follows an evidence-based process that highlights the influence of our Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviours and the impact this has on our mental health. By utilising the structure of CBT, I will guide you along the path to your desired goals and outcomes.  In learning this process, you will develop new skills and build confidence in maintaining your mental health.

My name is Dawn and I am a trainee therapist using the practice of Transactional Analysis (TA).

Within each of us lies fragments of our past where we unconsciously adopted certain patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour that have developed over time and may now need conscious reflection to adapt, making positive changes towards a new and healthy way of living.

My intention is to work alongside my clients to successfully identify and explore these patterns. When working together the most important element for me is to sensitively create an open, warm and safe environment where we can work together to both navigate this personal journey of growth and self-discovery and to support the many feelings and emotions that may arise.

I have a particular interest in working with clients who would like to improve personal relationships, emotional struggles, self-esteem and who also wish to understand themselves on a deeper level.

I am a student member of UKATA and BACP.

aysha

Hello, my name is Aysha. I am a trainee counsellor using the Psychodynamic approach and I have a special interest and additional training in trauma and somatics.

I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for us to work together, exploring the issues that are affecting you. Working Psychodynamically means we consider how your past experiences may be affecting the present, perhaps through repeated patterns of behaviour or through unconscious defence mechanisms. We will work together to bring awareness to these unconscious patterns and how they arose, with the aim of empowering you to make more conscious choices in your relationships and for yourself. I am a student member of BACP and COSCA.

ruthHi my name is Ruth and I am a trainee counsellor using Person Centred and Integrative Therapy.

My background is in Occupational Therapy and Health Studies and I work in the 3rd sector with adults who are struggling with addiction and mental health. With my compassionate, non-judgmental and confidential approach, I strive to ensure my clients feel seen and heard. I am passionate about helping people to fulfil their full potential.

chantal

My name is Chantal and I am a trainee in Psychodynamic counselling which highlights the significance of the unconscious mind, defence mechanisms and the impact our early childhood experiences can have on how we feel about the world, relationships and ourselves.

Whether you feel stuck in life, conflicted, anxious or depressed and don’t know why, I create a therapeutic safe space where you will feel seen, heard and valued as a person. I strive to help my clients uncover underlying meanings, patterns, and conflicts, facilitating deeper self-understanding and personal growth. As a reflective practitioner, I focus on tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual client, drawing from a range of theories and techniques as appropriate.

Hi, I’m Vicki and I am a trainee therapist using Transactional Analysis (TA). I am passionate about my work with clients and my ethos surrounds establishing a safe, held therapeutic relationship bound by trust.  This security is foundational to all of the work we do together. 

Many of the challenges people bring to counselling have a root in unconscious patterns and protections which are no longer helping in the way they once did.

I work alongside my clients to explore their goals for therapy, remaining attuned to their needs and sensitively working with whatever arises in the room. By prioritising safety, clients can then begin to discover new ways of interacting with themselves and others whilst validating and honouring the protections that helped them survive.

My special interest is in learning about and working with clients who are living with the effects of trauma, whether it be recent or from childhood.

I hold a student membership for UKATA and BACP.

Just as each individual is unique, their needs, wants and goals for counselling are personal to them. As an integrative counsellor, I adapt my practice to align with the needs of my clients. I am passionate about helping people to overcome the challenges that life can present. By creating a safe and compassionate space for my clients, I work alongside them as they process the feelings and emotions they are experiencing.
