Cleo Barnes

Do you often suffer from low moods, anxiety, hopelessness or an overall lack of energy and happiness? Are your relationships with the people you love or work with complicated and conflicted? Do you make bad choices even when you know they're not good for you?

You're not alone if the answer is yes to any of the above questions. So many people seek help to solve these challenges and improve their lives.

Research indicates that your belief in your ability to influence and control your life can make you feel happier and healthier by reducing depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. Conversely, lacking a sense of control over your circumstances and relationships can result in low self-esteem, anxiety, chaotic relationships, procrastination, addiction, anger, and depression.

As a therapist who has worked with over 250 clients within the public and private sectors, I have the experience and knowledge to help you solve your challenges. My main objective is to help you gain control over your life, emotions, and decisions so that, within time, you can feel better, live a happier life and have more fulfilling relationships with the people around you.

I primarily use person-centred therapy, but I'm also trained in transactional analysis and attachment theory. This means I can adapt my approach to suit your specific needs. I have provided a link below if you want to learn more about these theories and how they can help.

Here's what you can expect when you reach out to me: We'll start with an initial session, where you can ask me any questions you have about how I work. This session is offered at a reduced fee of £15 and lasts approximately 50 minutes. There's no pressure to continue after this session, but if you decide that therapy is right for you, we can arrange weekly or bi-weekly sessions to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential space.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, or any other problem, I'm here to help you find the answers you're looking for and make positive changes in your life. If you're ready to take the first step towards a happier, healthier future, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
