Anyone can come for talking therapy - people from all different walks of life.

The most important thing is that you find the right therapist for you and that a talking therapy is what you are looking for.

My Approach

 My approach is relational, which means that what emerges in the relationship between client and therapist is important to the therapeutic process and outcome.

I have specialised as a psychotherapist inTransactional Analysis which informs how I work and think but I also use other techniques such as dream analysis to support my work with clients. 

Issues I work with:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety & generalised anxiety disorder incl. anxiety around health

  • Phobias

  • Relationship issues including sexuality, trust, communication

  • Life transitions

  • Trauma or difficulties in childhood

  • Difficulties with self-esteem

  • Eating issues

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

  • Professional/career issues

  • College/university issues

  • Feeling sad, low or dissatisfied

  • Spirituality & faith related issues

  • Issues with drugs and alcohol

  • Medical & health concerns

  • Long term health conditions

  • Emotional regulation

  • Stress management

  • Neglect & abuse - physical, mental, emotional & sexual

  • Identity

  • LGBTQ

  • Grief, loss, or bereavement

  • Family issues incl. difficult relationships, & adoption

"Working with Pippa has activated something in me which has fundamentally shifted the way I understand myself, my relationships and my potential.
She has received me, and the issues I have brought to therapy, with compassion and kindness at all times. Pippa has challenged me helpfully when appropriate and quickly identified and utilised ways to easily engage me; humour, visual descriptions and obscure film references.
It's clear that the client / therapist relationship is at the heart of Pippa's practice, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone considering counselling."
