Malise Hartley

I offer a warm and welcoming therapeutic atmosphere, in which we can comfortably discuss any issues you might be facing. My approach is always tailored to your needs, but usually draws from existential, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. I often include work with body symptoms and can help you master any difficult feelings.

Sometimes I might offer some wisdom-based ideas, Eastern philosophy and practices. I also offer an introduction to meditative techniques or guidance in this if you are already have a practice but are facing challenges.

Finally, we can work with any dreams you might bring or even use creative visualisations as a transformational tool, if that sounds of interest to you!

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, we'll approach things with a compassionate spirit and with originality. We'll master any difficult feelings through kind honesty and time-tested guidance. And we'll get the best parts of you to flourish and bloom.

I am happy to work either on a very focussed short term basis (1-6 sessions) with possible extension, or a longer term open-ended arrangement.

Fees start at £65 per hour, though I may be able to offer concessionary rates for those facing genuine financial hardship.

I also offer high-level coaching and mentorship to professional writers and performers, with 20 years of experience in this field.

Our first session is either an opportunity to get straight into the work or for you to decide whether you feel we can work well together. There is no obligation to continue at any time after this. The choice is always yours.
