Sandbach, England therapist: Lavinia May, counselor/therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Lavinia May

Counsellor/Therapist, MNCPS (Acc.)
Hi, I’m Lavinia, If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel stuck in old patterns, or notice anxiety creeping into your relationship, you're not alone. I work with both couples and individuals, with a particular focus on relationship work. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical: we'll make sense of what's happening between you and build small, realistic changes that help your relationship feel easier and more connected. I draw on evidence-based tools (CBT/ACT, attachment informed work, emotion-focused & systemic ideas for couples) without the jargon. Sessions feel like real conversations with structure: we set goals together, track what’s helping, and adapt as we go. I work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, trust repairs, intimacy struggles, anxiety affecting the relationship, family and in-law boundaries, life transitions, stress and burnout, and reconnecting after rupture. Practicalities: 50-minute sessions • Online or in person in my Sandbach office • Individual & Couples. 🎁 20% Off All Therapy Sessions - Until May 2026 Next step: I offer a brief 10–15 minute introductory call (not a therapy session) where you can ask questions and we can see if we’re a good fit. If you prefer, you’re welcome to skip the call and book a first therapy session straight away. Available in-person in Sandbach, Cheshire, or online from anywhere.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Ulrike Nau-Debor

Psychologist, CPsychol, AFBPsS, HCPC registered
I love working with people who have a yearning to become unapologetically themselves, want to listen to their inner voice and be able to let go of the trauma that seems to keep them stuck in the past. There is nothing better than seeing my clients create the lives they want to live and be who they really are. If you are curious to find out, if we are a good fit or if you have any questions about how I work, contact me for a complimentary conversation. I like to take some time first for both of us to get to know each other a bit so we can freely decide if we want to work together. Just drop me an email and I look forward to meeting you.

London, England therapist: Dr Paul Garden, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Dr Paul Garden

Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years. Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind. Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy, which is always tailored to suit the unique needs of each person. The therapeutic work then adapts as those needs change over time. You will find my approach to be naturally compassionate, and non-judgemental.
