Our Therapists

Clair Tibbit – Counsellor

I am highly experienced Counsellor, with a wide range of skills developed in a number of therapeutic environments.

I have worked as an NHS Counsellor and in the charity and private practice sectors helping people experiencing common mental health issues such as depression, stress, bereavement and anxiety.

My method as your counsellor will be to listen and try to help you explore and make sense of your current feelings and behaviour, and then try to identify patterns of behaviours that may have their roots in your past experiences. Once these have been established I will work with you to make positive changes in your life.

I work Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Lifestuff

I can be contacted on 07748987731 or via email at clair@cftcounselling.com

Ellen Boyle – Child & Adolescent Therapist

Life always has its ups and downs, and there can be times when your child or young person person might need a little extra support – with someone outside of the immediate family who can listen, and help them explore and express their feelings in a safe way.

I’m an integrative child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means that I draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks to understand children and young people’s feelings, thoughts and behaviours. 

Using a range of creative activities – play, art, drama, or simply talking – I can help your child or teenager when they feel that things are getting on top of them. 

I also offer a safe space for parents/carers to talk through their worries with no judgement and in total confidence.

I work Thursdays and Fridays at Lifestuff

Mark Williams – Counsellor

At times, we can all experience difficult thoughts and feelings or a sense of being “stuck”. I believe that we all possess the resources to work through our problems, but sometimes these can become hidden and feel out of reach.

I will work with you to help you identify what you need, to re-connect with your own resources and help you change and grow and look forward to the future.

I have experience of working both short and long term with a wide range of issues, and have undertaken extra training in working with trauma. I offer a safe, confidential and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will accept you non-judgementally as the unique individual that you are, and ensure that you feel you are heard and understood.

I work Mondays and Wednesdays at Lifestuff

If you have any questions or would like to book a session you can phone me on 07570 933361 or email me at mark@markwilliamscounselling.co.uk.

Tanya Joseph – Counsellor

I am an Adlerian counsellor who believes and practices with encouragement and kindness. I have a passion for supporting others to believe in themselves and the amazing goals they can achieve in life no matter how big or small. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball and counselling can support us to get through those times and find new tools and skills to cope and grow to the best of our abilities.

I have experience working with several different issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have completed extra training in Trauma, mental health, and domestic violence and am currently an associate’s counsellor for the charity CHOICES, which provides one-to-one counselling for adult survivors of Childhood sexual abuse.

As an Adlerian counsellor, the foundations of my practice are seeing everyone as unique and individual. No one size fits all! I value our differences and we are all creative in our own way.

I am a spiritual person, and this has always been a part of me and my life. I also work as a Reiki and Chakra healing practitioner.

Andrea Bassett – Counsellor

Life can be incredibly tough at times. You may suffer from crippling anxiety or reoccurring depressive episodes or maybe you feel you just need to ‘fine-tune’ your life.

Working with me, you can start to gain clarity and awareness over the complexities of your current problems, while also understanding how your earlier life experiences have influenced where you are today.

Once we’ve untangled the patterns of the past and present, I can support and coach you in your journey toward gaining the life you truly want and need.

I trained “integratively,” which means I use a range of modalities, depending on the person and the presenting problems. I use coping strategies to help in the now and deeper work to get to the heart of the issues.

I work Mondays and Wednesdays from Lifestuff.

Natasha Wyatt, Psychotherapist and Art Therapist

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a specialism in art therapy. I am here to help you explore the challenges facing you, whatever they are. I have extensive experience of supporting people with issues including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), suicidal ideation, self-harm, bereavement, relationship difficulties, social anxiety, identity and self-esteem.

I offer a person centered and client- led approach in a safe and non-judgemental space. This means that you are in control of the direction of your therapy and empowered, while supported, to explore solutions that feel right for you.

Many people find the process of making art allows them to explore their inner world, develop greater self-awareness, express thoughts and feelings, and better cope with stress. No art experience or skillis required and it is only part of the broader support I offer.

Please contact me for a free initial 30-minute conversation/assessment.
