Therapist

Chyvonne Johnson

As a qualified integrative counsellor, my professional journey has been shaped by a profound passion for facilitating personal growth amidst challenges, particularly in the realms of family relationships and trauma.

Before obtaining my counselling qualifications, I dedicated numerous years to working with young people exhibiting challenging behaviour.

This hands-on experience provided me with valuable insights into the complexities of familial dynamics and the lasting impact of trauma, laying the foundation for my integrative and empathetic approach to counselling.

My openness extends to the diversity of presentations, including those related to neurodiversity, which I approach with sensitivity and understanding derived from lived experience. If you are seeking a counselor who values creativity and is open to working with you or even your child, please feel free to reach out. Your unique journey is important, and I am here to provide support and guidance.

Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist

Zinze Bishop

Hello I'm Zi, I've been working as an integrative counsellor for the past few years.

My approach is tailored made to your needs, and draws on aspects of psychodynamic therapy, which involves helping to bring what is unconscious - into your conscious mind.

I also work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which explores patterns of behaviour to provide practical tools and strategies.

My practice days are Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. I work both online and in person.

I work with adults and teens, individuals and couples. I want to listen and sit with you through your difficult experiences.

We can find ways to manage the feelings and thoughts that are frustrating areas of your life and your relationships.

Integrative Counsellor

Rose Whittaker

I am a qualified integrative counsellor. I'm a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). With a background in both educational and counselling settings, I offer versatile sessions, accommodating both face-to-face and online interactions.

My integrative approach combines person-centred, psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, providing clients with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their difficulties.

In our sessions, I strive to empower clients to become their authentic selves. The person-centred aspect ensures a client-led process, while the psychodynamic element delves into the impact of past experiences on present behaviors. Additionally, integrating CBT aids in understanding thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns.

Emphasizing the importance of strong therapeutic relationships, I create a secure and encouraging environment, allowing clients to challenge established thought patterns without fear of judgment. Through collaborative efforts, my goal is to help clients make sense of their situations and move forward with a renewed sense of hope.
