Jo Spilling
My ethos is to respond to individual needs, anxieties and distress, providing a safe space in which to work through concerns. It is my hope that through working together, counselling can help bring you relief from emotional distress, improve your relationships and help you to make constructive changes.
Shortland Psychology
Shortland Psychology provide personalised support for adults, children and families who are impacted by trauma. Having a traumatic experience of any kind can be life changing and affects how we feel, think and behave. The effects of trauma are complex and can present as severe withdrawal, extreme anxiety, to having times of not feeling real, or any combination of these.

I am a mother of three boys, a clinical psychologist, and a birth doula – my experience as a doula gives me a unique understanding of what actually happens in the birthing room. I have been treating trauma successfully for over 25 years and have specialised in perinatal mental health for the past 15 years.
Suzi Robinson
I am an experienced, qualified counsellor working out of my private practise in Arlesey, Bedfordshire. I am also a high-risk midwife with over 13 years’ experience based at a busy London hospital.
Heather Rai
The key to my approach is to create a genuine and understanding relationship with you that’s as free of judgement as possible and then to support you to find your own answers to your distress at your own pace.
Dr Katherine Preedy
Every person is different so I work integrating models drawing from CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy as well as others depending on the needs and preferences of the person coming to see me.

Naomi Marston
Your body and your brain have gone through a huge experience. You might be questioning what has happened to you or experience flashbacks, low mood, heightened anxiety, panic attacks and the thought of having another baby might be completely out of the question, but all of these things can be helped with counselling and talking therapies.
Dr Sonia Malik
I use various types of therapy including cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive analytic therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
