Our Counselling & Psychotherapy Team
All of our counsellors and psychotherapists are highly trained and experienced, and are members of the BACP, NCPS and/or UKCP. We do not use counsellors-in-training.
All of our therapists are well equipped and trained to work with a wide variety of issues, but our counsellors also specialise in certain areas which you can see highlighted on this page. Further specialisms will be included on each therapist’s profile page.
You can view each therapist’s profile by clicking on their profile image. Each counsellor is priced individually. Counsellors with an asterisk (*) offer introductory sessions at a discounted price.
Many of our therapists offer online therapy – find out whether online or in-person therapy is more suitable for you.
The Palmeira Practice offers counselling and psychotherapy to adults aged 18+. We have a small number of therapists who have additional training to work with children and young people aged 10-17 years of age. These therapists are listed on a separate page called Young People. Please be aware their availability is limited. We do not offer therapy to children below the age 10 years old.
All of our therapists are listed on this main page.
We have 3 other pages which show you which therapists can offer couples therapy, which therapists only offer online working, and which therapists have additional training to offer counselling with Young People, but you will also find these therapists on our main page below.
Availability for each counsellor can be viewed underneath their profile picture. Approximate times for am/pm and evening are below.
