Tessa Hinton

I have some availability on a Wednesday and Thursday.  

I am a professional experienced psychotherapist, who provides individual therapy. 

The most valuable aspect that I bring to my work is the ability to provide a positive therapeutic relationship with each individual I work with.

I work predominately in a psychodynamic way, but have further training and experience in CBT.  

I offer both brief focused and open ended support tailored to your needs.

I believe that counselling can empower you by relieving distress, help you gain control of your emotions, and connect with yourself and others. It opens doors to allow for positive long term changes to be made.

I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and the life changing impact counselling can provide.

You may have experienced past or recent events which have left you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. You may recognise repeated patterns in your life that you want to change, or you may not understand why you feel the way you feel.

Having someone who understands you and helps you make sense of what is troubling you, is the beginning of change.

Having a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel heard allows you to explore what feels difficult in your world and is an important part of understanding yourself better. With more self awareness we can bring positive changes into our world, find acceptance and inner peace.

It can be the first step of a valuable transformation .

I believe in the importance of a collaborative relationship. My aim is to work with you to help you find your own answers, in order to bring about positive changes in your life.

I always carry out an initial assessment session before beginning working together. This session can last up to an hour and a half to allow for me to gain a holistic understanding of you and your world.

This also allows for you to see what it feels like to work with me, and to be able to ask any questions you may have.

Finding someone you feel comfortable, safe and understood by are the key aspects that I feel need to be in place so that therapy can commence.
