Forgiveness
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

Forgiveness
Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
"Myself, or someone else?" Good question. Maybe it's both. How do I know when I forgive...what if I cannot forgive? I'm hear to tell you that it's a process and neither is right or wrong.

Forgiveness
Fallon Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, LPC
"Forgiveness is often misunderstood as forgetting or condoning the past; in reality, it is a powerful act of reclaiming your own peace and emotional freedom. In our sessions, we will explore the weight of past hurts in a safe, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you process these experiences at your own pace, using evidence-based tools to gently untangle the pain, resentment, or guilt that may be holding you back. We will focus on cultivating self-compassion and understanding, empowering you to release what no longer serves your well-being so you can move forward with clarity, balance, and a lighter heart."

Forgiveness
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who are grappling with questions around forgiveness, including whether forgiveness is possible, appropriate, or even wanted. Difficulties around forgiveness often involve complex emotions such as anger, grief, guilt, loyalty, or fear of loss, and can be shaped by long-standing relational patterns.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore what forgiveness means in your specific context, without pressure toward resolution. Rather than assuming forgiveness as a goal, the focus is on understanding what has been held, protected, or avoided, and what feels truthful to you now. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.

Forgiveness
Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting or excusing what happened — it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of pain, resentment, or regret. Whether you're struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, therapy can help you explore what’s holding you back and support you in finding a path toward peace. Forgiveness is a deeply personal process, and you don’t have to go through it alone. If you're ready to release what's been keeping you stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and compassion.
