Ferne Hale

My working hours are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm.

Hi, I’m Ferne, a BACP and NCPS Accredited integrative Psychotherapist. I offer both face to face and online work. I work with children, young people and adults.

I work with individuals to help them explore their feelings, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach combines a range of therapeutic techniques, allowing us to tailor the process to what works best for you. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or something else, I’m here to listen and support you in a safe, non-judgmental space.

I have been working with adults, children and young people for five years, helping them navigate the impact of past attachments, experiences, and trauma. I help people to understand how the past shapes the present and find closure where needed. However, therapy doesn’t have to focus on the past I also work in a solution-focused way, setting goals to make progress.

I understand how difficult it is to reach out and be vulnerable, especially with a stranger. Which is why one of my main focuses is to build and maintain a great therapeutic relationship with my clients. I know the importance of them feeling safe and comfortable around me to be able to do the work.

I have 5 years experience practising Psychotherapy in a range of settings, including schools, charities, online platforms and private practice.

I specialise working with individuals with ASD/ADHD, parents of children who are neurodiverse, and individuals who have experienced trauma. I also am a part of the ASD/ADHD community.

My working hours are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm.

I am a newly qualified clinical supervisor and an accredited integrative psychotherapist with both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Online Supervision through Counselling Tutor and offer supervision across online, telephone, and face-to-face settings.

I am currently a self-employed practitioner working with children, young people, and adults, both in person and online. Prior to this, I worked as a Lead Psychotherapist within an SEMH school and have over five years’ experience across a range of educational settings. This has given me a strong foundation in working with complexity, risk, and systemic dynamics.

I specialise in supporting individuals with ASD and ADHD, parents of neurodiverse children, and those who have experienced trauma. As a member of the neurodivergent community myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to my work.

My integrative approach draws on Person-Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Solution-Focused models. I also work creatively, particularly with children and young people, using a range of engaging and developmentally appropriate resources.

In supervision, I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, holding clinical safety as central to the supervisory relationship. I use the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision to support reflective, ethical, and effective practice. Alongside oversight of client work, I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space where supervisees can develop confidence, deepen their thinking, and feel appropriately challenged and contained.
