About me and my therapy practice
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with your thoughts, emotions or relationships, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m Colette Safhill, an integrative psychotherapist with over 25 years’ clinical experience across private practice, the NHS, GP surgeries, prisons and charities. I work with adults, couples, and children & young people.
My work is structured and purposeful. We agree together what you want from therapy and keep a clear sense of direction, at a pace that suits you. I draw on EMDR, EFT tapping and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and on the Imago and Gottman approaches for couples, tailored to you.
I often work with anxiety and low mood, trauma, addiction, baby loss and fertility, relationships, psychosexual difficulties and ADHD.
I am approved with Bupa, Aviva, Vitality, AXA, Allianz and WPA, so private health insurance may cover your sessions. Bespoke services and group work are available on request.
