Registered Therapists
This page comprises a list of all the therapists who have registered their details with us. The list is arranged alphabetically by county, starting with England. You can jump quickly to a particular county using the list to the right. If a particular county is not hyperlinked in the list of counties, this indicates that no therapists are registered from that county.
This list will be updated as new therapists join, and will eventually become a searchable database. There are not currently any therapists registered with us from Northern Ireland, but we very much hope this will change in the future
To find out how to register, or to get help finding a suitable therapist, please read the FAQs

Dr Gordon F Gatiss |
Based in: Consett
Qualifications: PhD, MA, PGCE, PGDHP. UKCP
I am an Existential Psychotherapist, that means that I teach people how to release their experiences from the past to discover the magic of the moment then guide them to create their future. I have been trained to use many different processes and techniques because my work has shown me that we are all different and what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. The core of my therapeutic practice is a unique process that I have developed and used since 2003 called Dynamic Thought Transfer Process TM. I teach my clients the DTT process, and from that foundation, the change begins, and all the other healing processes that I teach build the magic that is you. I work with individuals and with couples,as well as families, helping to heal the past, find solutions to personal issues and resolve conflicts. I teach clients how to meditate and then how to hypnotise themselves to change their behaviour; a skill that can be used for life. This is achieved using Brainwave
Entrainment Techniques.

I am an experienced qualified psychotherapist. I work mainly with individuals both long and short term. My clients come from many walks of life and many backgrounds, and I love the richness of the variety. Having said that, we all share so much in what it is to be human and share so many of the same struggles, hopes and dreams. I don't change my clients, though many do choose to change themselves as a result of our work, but seek to help them live with something differently. I work with existential therapy and CBT, both of which focus on how we are living now. My clients come with many issues. Anxiety, depression, relationships, fertility, addiction and phobias are frequent. Some have had accidents at work; are in violent domestic relationships or have been abused as a child or as an adult. Some have been bereaved or are struggling with the end of a key relationship. Some are concerned about the choices they are making from work to relationships. Some find living with an alcoholic partner or an ill child challenging. Some are puzzled why they are angry at work or find it difficult to sleep. It can be tough as well as wonderful, to be human, and I hope to work with my clients in a human way.

Michael Sclater |
Based in: Oswestry
Qualifications: UKCP
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist. For the last ten years I have worked privately and for the NHS in the North Wales/Shrewsbury/Chester area. I have rather a lot of experience of working with people who have been severely traumatized eg ex forces, survivors of rape, survivors of Irish Catholic childrens’ homes, refugees from war zones, people placed in care as children or treated with cruelty. I enjoy the company of people from the forces, perhaps because my own first career in the documentary film business was also a life of frequent danger. My father was in the Royal Marines and both my parents served in the war in SOE. So I'd love to help if I can.

I have completed a short training in CBT and spent 7 years as bereavement counsellor with Cruse Bereavement Care. I would be happy to see ex soldiers their partners and dependants.
