A Very Warm Welcome to Tender Hearts Therapy
I believe that every person has a unique and valuable story to share, no matter how big or small it feels, that deserves tenderness and time.
"I wanted to know what my hands would look like at 85 years old, if orange will still be my favourite colour, to learn something new from someone I have yet to meet.
I kept going because I wanted to know how one puts one's life together again into a new whole."
- Tembi Locke
What kind of therapy is Tender Hearts?
As a therapist, my training is rooted in the wonderful world of Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, with a particular focus on Person-Centred Therapy. Person-Centred Therapy is an approach that puts you, the client, at the heart of everything we do in the therapeutic process.
I'm a big believer in blending different humanistic approaches to create a more holistic healing experience, unique to each individual client.
This includes Person-Centred Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Existentialism, Focusing, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Third-Wave CBT, Trauma-Informed, and Psychoeducation.
Together, we'll create a collaborative space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings without the fear of being rejected or criticised. My approach to therapy values your subjective experience, and above all, your inherent worth and dignity as a human being.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their ethical frameworks. I am in regular supervision and take responsibility for my continued professional development.
Counselling and Psychotherapy with me...
I believe that your well-being is a sum of all your parts - your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, sociocultural and family history all play a role in how you're feeling in this very moment.
And let's be real, finding a fulfilling and stress-free balance in life can be a real challenge today in our modern world, and that's why I offer online therapy - it's convenient, more affordable, and flexible, allowing you to access the support you need from the comfort of your own private space.
In online therapy, we will work together to help you embrace your whole self and navigate life's ups and downs with more ease and joy. Working with, rather than against, the inevitable ebbs and flows of life.
