I am a dedicated and compassionate psychotherapeutic counsellor with a deep passion for helping individuals overcome life’s challenges and achieve personal growth, I am specifically trained to work with children and young people as well as adults. I have a wealth of experience and expertise in the field of psychotherapeutic counselling, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner selves, heal emotional wounds, and foster positive change.
Professional Background:
I hold a post graduate diploma in psychotherapy and have been practising as a UKCP fully accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor for over 5 years. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations, empowering individuals from all walks of life to navigate their unique journeys towards emotional well-being and fulfilment. I have a profound understanding of human psychology, coupled with an empathic approach, allowing me to establish genuine connections with my clients, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and respect. More recently I have developed my interest in safeguarding and risk issues specifically in relation to our roles as therapist and how we manage those challenges within our code of ethics and roles and responsibilities. In 2023 I will be completing my safeguarding supervision training.
Philosophy and Approach:
With a person-centred and integrative approach, I tailor my psychotherapeutic counselling sessions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. I recognise that every client possesses innate strengths and resilience, and I collaboratively work with them to unlock their full potential. By drawing from various evidence-based modalities, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I provide a comprehensive treatment framework that addresses the multifaceted nature of human experiences.
Areas of Expertise:
I specialise in a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I possess a keen understanding of the complexities surrounding these issues and offer practical strategies to help clients navigate through their difficulties. I foster self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the development of effective coping mechanisms to empower individuals to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
As well as being a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor I am a qualified clinical supervisor offering both individual and group sessions.

A little bit about Best Start Therapy.
Best Start Therapy was established in 2013 by myself Phillip Beisty. My core belief is that all children and young people should have the best start in life in relation to their mental health in order for them to be able to reach their full potential in adult life. It is with this belief I established Best Start Therapy with the aim to ‘Grow from within’.
