Tina Syme

I currently have spaces available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I am a pluralistic therapist with a Masters in Developmental Psychology. For the last few years I have been working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I have experience in the areas of autism, trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual and physical abuse, to name but a few.

As a pluralistic therapist I can draw on different modalities to create a personal therapeutic experience to fit the individual needs of each person. This can then be adapted as your needs and wants changes over time.

I am here to listen, support and believe in you, until you are ready to do that for yourself.

As a pluralistic counsellor, I embrace a diverse array of tools and skills from various therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. This flexibility allows me to integrate techniques from cognitive-behavioural therapy, humanistic approaches, and psychodynamic methods, creating a customised experience that resonates with individuals at different points in their personal journeys.

This integrative stance not only enhances the therapeutic relationship but also empowers clients by offering them a choice in how they engage with the counselling process. By drawing on multiple perspectives, I aim to facilitate a deeper understanding of their challenges and to foster meaningful growth and change.

The first session is a 15 min free getting to know each other session. This will allow us a chance to meet and decide if we are a good fit for working together. I feel it is important for clients to feel comfortable with me to allow for the best therapeutic alliance to be achieved.
