Our Hertford Counselling Team

Meet our Counsellors

Hi, I’m Vincent.

My counselling approach focuses on building an alliance with you to move you towards a more positive outlook and resolve issues that are hindering your day-to-day life. Through my experience of working with many clients of all ages, I feel this can be best achieved by providing a secure and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental setting with empathetic support. Through creating a relationship built on trust, we will work together on issues you feel are preventing you from achieving your full potential. My aim is to achieve the best possible outcome for you. Please take the time to read my full profile to learn more about my experience in counselling.

Hello my name is Bronwen Anthony.

I believe that sometimes life’s challenges can appear overwhelming and trying to make sense of the way forward is just too difficult to contemplate without support.

I work with children, couples and families and my aim is to build up a relationship in which you will feel able to talk about what is happening in your life that you’d like to change, then for us to explore the reasons why this is occurring. We can be creatures of habit and feel comfortable with our patterns of how we communicate with each other or how we deal with things, however, it’s the patterns of communication that need to shift to allow for more positive outcomes.

Hi, my name is Karen.

I am a sensitive, respectful and widely experienced therapist. I work with high standards of integrity and adhere to a professional code of ethics and good practice. My core model of therapeutic understanding is Psychodynamic, which is informed by additional trainings in the Systemic, Psychological First Aid (Trauma), Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Interpersonal (IPT) Therapy and Relationship Counselling theoretical approaches. This allows my work with individuals to be flexible and adaptive in order to be most helpful to my clients. I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor.

Hello, my name is Naomi.

I am an experienced counsellor with an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. The psychodynamic model acknowledges the impact of our past experiences on our present lives, so helping us to gain insight and awareness of ourselves and our development.

Trust is essential to the counselling relationship, so confidentiality is important. I also always work sensitively and at the client’s own pace.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by the BACP’s Ethical Framework for good practice.

Hi. My name is Andrew.

I’m an Integrative Relational Counsellor. Being an integrative counsellor means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches: I have training in working with CBT; Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches; but most importantly I work to develop an empathic, trusting relationship that helps you to a deeper understanding of what makes you tick. For me, the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the key to success. I will work with you to explore the way you think, feel, sense and perceive the world. We will sit as equals and I will offer empathy, support and, if it will be helpful, challenge. Most of all, I will listen to you. The development of this listening relationship is at the heart of my work.

Hi, I am Sarah

My approach is a compassionate and collaborative one.  I offer a comfortable, confidential environment, free from judgement and criticism.  Through development of a trusted and supportive therapeutic relationship, we will explore what is currently troubling you.  Together we will uncover past experiences and relationships, identifying their significance and emotional impact on present-day living.  This exploration will provide a deeper understanding of the way you relate to others, the choices you make and your repeated patterns of behaviour.

Hi, I am Paula

A Yoga Therapist and senior yoga teacher. Yoga Therapy is a unique therapeutic practice that recognises the holistic nature of well-being. Our mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. The interplay of mind, body, and breath shapes our experiences. Every moment, our physical body responds to our emotions, whether they're positive or negative. By addressing the mind-body connection, we can work together to overcome obstacles and find lasting relief.
