Karen McClelland
Senior Counsellor
Hi, I’m Karen, an integrative therapist with over 10 years of experience counselling adults with a variety of issues. I work with clients both long-term and short-term, always viewing each person as a unique individual. I focus on collaborating closely with you, adapting my therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs. My methods draw on Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), and Psychodynamic approaches.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to helping you achieve your goals. I bring warmth, gentleness, and compassion to our work together.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years as a manager of a counselling charity. This role allowed me to work alongside experienced therapists and mentor students in training.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Code of Practice. I engage in regular professional development and also work as a clinical and pastoral supervisor. Together, I look forward to working with you to develop a therapeutic approach that meets your unique, individual needs.
Emma Gimson
CBT Hypnotherapist & Trainee Counselling Psychologist
Hi! I am Emma and I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH). I have a Masters (MSc) in Psychology, and currently I am a Counselling Psychologist in doctoral training.
I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and person-centred therapy to successfully help clients manage ADHD, anxiety, stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, phobias and sleep related challenges. CBT offers a practical toolkit to better understand and cope with challenges, and hypnotherapy helps embed this learning whilst in a deeply relaxed state. For some clients person-centred counselling is more appropriate and I am skilled at working with clients using this client-led approach. I prioritise creating a safe space for clients to explore challenging topics, with compassion and empathy.
Ultimately, my approach is tailored to the client, focussing on each person’s individual perspective, background, culture and needs, building rapport and designing a plan that will have lasting results.
I come from a background in senior public sector leadership and business consultancy, from which I bring skills in coaching, planning and designing services that truly meet the needs of the client.
