Chartered Clinical Psychologist – Dr Petra Carlsson-Mitchell
In my private practice, INPSYCHOLOGY, I specialise in Psychological therapies to people over the age of 18, who experience psychological, emotional and relational difficulties that have a debilitating impact on their quality of life.
I offer individually tailored psychological therapy to work alongside each person to; make sense of what have caused their difficulties, develop a sense of self and identifying personal needs, strengthen resources and skills to cope with the ups and downs of life. The goal of therapy, as I see it, is an overall improvement in the person’s general wellbeing as well as equipping them to continue to grow and thrive.
To carry out these fundamental changes, I implement evidence based psychological therapies that are responsive to difficulties related to: complex trauma, PTSD, loss, grief, lack of sense of self, interpersonal difficulties, low self-worth and self-confidence, shame, guilt, depression and anxiety.
My core service involves offering individual therapy. However, mental health concerns, particularly when they are long term and deep rooted can be very stressful for people who stand close to the individual and my service also extends to offer psychological sessions and consultations for parents, partners carers and couples.
The client is at the heart of therapy. I take an active non-judgemental stance to ensure that their needs are met, they feel safe and listened to. And, I cheerlead clients to stay motivated through therapy by encouraging them to take responsibility and ownership of their work.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation as well as a reduced rate Early Consultation session. This is a pre-therapy session where we would begin to make sense of your difficulties and weigh up the pros and cons for entering into therapy. Or, if you just have a question, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email petra@inpsychology.co.uk or by phone on 07931583115.

Talking Therapy
Psychotherapeutic Counsellor - Adam Eagle MBACP
I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, meaning I can, where needed and in agreement with the client, work at a deeper level than some Counsellors. I was trained at a BACP-accredited institution and am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I see clients at The Bodywork Centre in Hexham on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Centre has comfortable, quiet rooms ideal for therapy. It is centrally located with parking nearby. The initial consultation, which is a chance to talk about what’s been happening and see what work we might do together, and lasts 40 or 50 minutes, is free of charge. Thereafter the session fee is £45.
I work with adults, seeing both men and women, but don’t do couples counselling. The issues that clients and I work on include loss, trauma, relationship problems, control, anger, depression, anxiety and issues from the past. If I was to describe my view of therapy in a few words I would say it is about healing, change and growth.
I am in my 60’s and live in Northumberland. Before training as a counsellor I had careers in publishing and the charity sector, including running my own company. I have also experienced periods of unemployment.

Chartered Counselling Psychologist - Dr Judi Sharifi PsyD
As a person-centred, integrative psychologist, I draw from a number of evidence-based approaches to provide therapy that is tailored to suit your personal needs. With over thirty years of experience working in adult mental health in the NHS and independently, I have come to understand that how we relate to ourselves and others is at the heart of our difficulties. I have specialist experience of issues affecting older people and people facing social injustice.
By providing you with a safe place to share your story, the journey can begin where, together, we will identify those familiar patterns that seem to trap you in unhelpful ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. With warmth, compassion and humour, we will find a way to help you towards recovery and wellbeing. Above all, you will see that you are not the problem, but perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed at the moment by work, family, relationship difficulties, or simply life in general.
I offer assessments and treatment for a range of anxiety, mood and other disorders, as well as general life coaching.
I am registered with the British Association for Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA) and have over ten years of experience teaching courses in mindfulness (stress reduction; mindfulness in the workplace; mindfulness based cognitive therapy) as well as personal meditation coaching.
Do contact me if you wish to discuss this further, or have any questions. I offer a free 15 mins telephone consultation.
Contact Judi through The Bodywork Centre or, via her website.

Counsellor - Nick Tasker
Nick trained as a counsellor after benefiting from counselling himself, in his early twenties. He has 30 years of experience and offers counselling to adults and young adults who are seeking to understand themselves better and make sense of their lives.
Nick is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and works to a professional code of ethics to offer a safe, confidential place for his clients to learn and grow. Most of Nick's experience has been with the NHS working in GP surgeries in the West of Newcastle with a huge variety of people from different backgrounds, cultures and ages. This has shaped his practice to focus on the individual, to listen and build a safe, relaxed working relationship.
Nick's aim is to encourage you to talk, tell your story, hear yourself and understand yourself. This is always a different process with each individual and goes at a pace that you are comfortable with. The frequency and number of sessions is flexible and fits around your needs. Therapy is a developing process.
Nick offers face to face sessions here at The Bodywork Centre but he can also work on the phone or Zoom. In addition, Nick also offers Walking Therapy and may be able to provide home visits in some circumstances. He also offers person-centred supervision to other therapists.
