Welcome to my profile. I'm delighted that you've chosen to explore the possibility of cultivating more fulfilling and meaningful relationships, both with yourself and others. My name is Corinne, and I have been practicing as a clinical psychologist for the past 25 years. I live in the Southwest of England, near Dorchester. I work with clients face to face and remotely with Zoom.

They say you have to "kiss a few frogs" before you find one that works for you.
I'd tried a few therapists over a period of two years, and never managed to find one that clicked. Corinne came as a reccomendation from a friend which is always a good sign.
I'm six months in to my therapy journey and the experience really has been life changing. I feel a deep care from Corinne and she is always very honest with how she communicates.
My sessions regularly run over the prescribed time, but they're always allowed to end naturally instead of a "time is up" approach that I've had before.
Why seek counselling or therapy ? You might be going through changes in your home life, work life, relationships or health. You might be living with uncomfortable feelings like stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger, or loneliness. Or struggling with processing trauma or abuse (which includes gaslighting) and unable to talk about this in every day life. Talking to a trained therapist at times like this can help put your life back on track.

Christine has been a great therapist. I have never done therapy before and she is so understanding made me feel safe to talk about any issues I have. The tools given are so useful and I am using them everyday to subdue/feel my anxiety. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is struggling on where to start.
Counselling and therapy offered in a safe and confidential environment. I offer a free initial 15 minute phone call to answer any questions you may have about starting sessions.

The time I have spent in sessions with Jo has been absolutely invaluable. I was feeling incredibly overwhelmed with life, work, motherhood and also struggling to come to terms with the breakdown of a close family relationship. Jo created a calm, unprejudiced and open space for me each week where I became increasingly comfortable sharing what I needed to in order to work through and try to make some sense of how I was feeling and how to help myself. The homework Jo gave me was really helpful in bridging the gap between sessions, and has also taught me some great coping mechanisms. I especially loved journalling and will continue to do this for myself. If you are looking for a therapist, I would highly recommend engaging Jo. I would definitely go back to her in the future if things were getting on top of me again.

I started working with Lori as I was really broken, I couldn’t cope anymore and I felt I’d be better off not here. It took quite sometime to unravel my troubled brain and get to the bottom of my damage.
I am so happy now that I have so many tools and strategies to keep myself mentally healthy and content with my lot.
As soon as I sat down with Lori she made me feel at ease with her, I really was a big ball of anger when I first started going and now I am not. I will continue my journey with Lori on a maintenance basis as I love to have that safe space where I can discuss personal matters and worries.
I am an impactful coach that helps people build confidence through self-rediscovery and unlocking the freedom to achieve their goals. If you feel lost, know you are much more than what you are, and have so much more to offer but you don’t know how, then I am your coach. I am a breaker of barriers, with the skills and experience to identify barriers and obstacles, providing you the freedom and strength to break free from them.

I experienced the very quick onset of panic attacks & anxiety issues, something I never thought would happen to me. I really was at a crisis point & a colleague suggested Sue Lane.
As a sceptical person I wasn't sure how much, if any, this could help me. I had it in my mind I was only going for one session as I was convinced I would feel like this forever & nobody could help me. When I meet Sue she was extremely professional but offering me much compassion, she could see I was at boiling point. I was overthinking & worrying about everything. Sue taught me that I couldn't control everyone and their actions being there responsibility, not mine. At the height of my panic she gave me super advice on coping mechanisms & breathing patterns. I had sessions over a period of 6 months.
I went through a lot of life changing events in my early twenties continuing into my early thirties including near death experiences, bullying in the workplace & bereavement. These events started to bite back approaching my forties. I never thought after this long period of time that was the root cause of my panic & anxiety and surely counselling would be of no use to me. I only tried it as a last resort but I should of done it so much sooner.
After the counselling finished I could refer back & use the techniques. I am now in a much better place & so much more like my old self. I do owe a huge thank you to Sue.

Sarah Howell
Kruti is a dynamic young counsellor who instantly makes you feel at ease and remarkably she can ascertain, after just one session, what all your problems are. I didn’t realise why I was angry, irritable and the real reason I lacked self confidence. She is helping me reverse all the harm that has been done. Outstanding counselling. I would challenge anyone to find a more worthy psychologist. Sarah
I am warm, friendly and can adapt to meet your needs whether it be a different slot each week or a hybrid way of working. Maybe you want a short amount of sessions or would like to take it slow and go at your pace for no set number of sessions, I can accomodate both.
I am passionate about empowerment. I help female empaths who are exhausted by people-pleasing, learn to set healthy boundaries and enjoy more authentic and rewarding relationships. I am accredited through the International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring so you can be sure of a quality service. I also have foundation certificates in holistic and NLP coaching.

Having worked in Human Resources in Financial Services for 17 years, I thought it was time for a change! With a growing family and a desire to learn some new skills, starting up my own business working as a therapist seemed like the perfect solution! I was able to combine all the skills I had learned working with people over the years, with the new skills I acquired through my training. I am so lucky to have a great job, where I spend every day helping people have a better life!
Because I have been in practice for 13 years, I am well qualified with diplomas in counselling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy and a certificate in life coaching. I have specialised training in working with children and work in a local school every week, helping children overcome all sorts of issues. I am a hypnotherapy supervisor supporting newly qualified therapists. I regularly appear on both local and national radio and write articles for various different publications.
