Alicia Tromp

I am a warm, caring humanistic therapist. I work with adults and young people on issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, trauma and abuse. I am LGBT QIA+ affirmative and part of the community myself.

I also support clients affected by chronic health conditions, such as ME / CFS, fibromyalgia, migraine and vestibular conditions / persistent dizziness.

Perhaps you are looking for a therapist because you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or like you have lost your way. Perhaps you are here because you would like to find support on your journey recovering from abuse, or you are currently struggling with a relationship in your life. Or you may be here because you have noticed a tendency to people-please in yourself that is getting in the way of your well-being, and you would like to be able to set clearer boundaries and listen to your own needs more.

I strongly believe that within the safety of a trusting counselling relationship, we can find clarity and a way to move forward, towards healing and growth. I am here to support you in looking for the answers within.

I welcome people of all ages (16+) and identities.

I work in a trauma-informed way and am committed to anti-oppressive practice.

What to expect:

My approach is rooted in person-centred and humanistic counselling. As a therapist, I work with what you bring to the sessions, and you decide what you want to talk about. You are the expert on yourself and your life. I won’t give you advice, but I will bring an empathic, engaged and authentic presence to our interactions.

We will explore things at a pace that feels comfortable for you and regularly review our work together. I welcome feedback and my aim as a counsellor is to be open and approachable.

I also work relationally, which means that when it feels useful, I explore the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship with you in a supportive, collaborative way to help you further explore the issues you bring to counselling.

Experience:

• During training I counselled for various charities, such as 1-2-1 Counselling and York College, where I provided short-term therapy to young people aged 16-18
• Samaritans volunteer
• Before training as a counsellor, I taught languages and literature at university level
• I completed a PhD in American literature and a French equivalent of PGCE
• I have extensive experience of university settings and counselling young people and students
