Imogen Haley

I work in a person centred way which means that you are at the heart of the work we do together. Coming to therapy for the first time is a brave first step and I'm here to sit alongside you as we explore together what it is that is troubling you. I am an integrative therapist which means I am trained in a variety of skills that can be tailored to suit your individual goals. You might want to explore your past or focus on the future, or perhaps you're just feeling stuck in the here and now - wherever you are at the moment, that's okay and I am here to support you.

I also provide animal assisted therapy with my certified therapy dog Albert, a gentle French Bulldog who can offer comfort during in-person sessions. If you have your own dog whom you would like to train as a therapy dog, I am also a professional therapy dog trainer and can assist with training and certification. 

Things we can try include talking therapy, creative ways of expressing emotions such as art therapy or sand tray work, mindfulness exercises for stress regulation and confidence coaching for low self-esteem. I work in a relaxed and fluid way and from your perspective, there is no right nor wrong way to "do" therapy - together we will find a way which works best for you. 

We can work together remotely via my online counselling service so you can fit your therapy around your day or I can also provide an in-person service at my warm and inviting therapy room based in Tynemouth in Tyne and Wear. If you like the idea of being in nature then I also offer a walk & talk service.

I offer an initial one-off online session so you can see how you feel about things before committing to ongoing therapy together. In this session you will have the opportunity to tell me what it is that brings you to therapy so we can explore together how I might be able to support you. You will also have the opportunity to ask me any questions about therapy which you would like answering.
