Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
You've done real therapeutic work. You understand your patterns with a clarity that took years to build: why your nervous system braces before a difficult conversation, why certain relationships seem to confirm your oldest fears, why the same emotional weather keeps returning no matter how much you've examined it.
That understanding is not the problem. There is simply a neurobiological ceiling to what verbal processing can reach. Some people hit it - and when they do, the patterns that remain aren't stored as thoughts to be reframed. They live in the nervous system, in the body's tissues, in responses that were encoded long before language was available to organise them.
I work at that ceiling. Not because what came before was wrong - but because the next layer of work requires a different kind of access.
With over 20 years of experience and a deep specialisation in body-based trauma release, I work with self-aware individuals who are ready to move from understanding their patterns to releasing them. If that's where you are, I'd like to hear from you.

Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
If you are feeling overwhelmed because of illness, relationships, or other challenges in your life, therapy can help break things down into manageable pieces. When you work with me we will not only talk things through, but I will help you listen to the messages that your body is sending, and we can tackle your issues in an intentional and appropriate way. If you want to change harmful behaviours like smoking, drinking, or binge eating, I have well-tested programs that help with those issues. If you are prone to anxiety or depression, I can help you tap into your own inbuilt resources to get your emotional needs met and things will look very different. If you have unwanted habits like nail biting or doom scrolling, or just want to develop new healthy behaviours like exercising and eating right, I can help!
I treat you as the individual that you are, with your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, physical symptoms, hopes and dreams. I also look at the relationships, families and communities you belong to, and how these contribute to your daily wellbeing or affect your struggles.
I offer the Human Givens approach (the nine emotional needs), hypnotherapy (I have 18 years' experience), and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) which is an energy psychology. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, self-confidence, and encourage clear thinking. I provide materials, like mp3 recordings and handouts, to support you and reinforce the therapeutic work between sessions.

Lavinia May
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCPS (Acc.)
Hi, I'm Lavinia.
If you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or find yourselves walking on eggshells - you're not alone, and things can change.
I specialise in couples therapy, and also work with individuals. My approach is warm, honest and practical: we'll make sense of what's going on between you, and build small, realistic steps that help your relationship feel easier, closer and more like you again.
I use proven tools and techniques - without the jargon. Sessions feel like real conversations with direction: we set goals together, track what's working, and adapt as we go.
work with couples and individuals navigating: recurring arguments & communication breakdowns · trust & repair after conflict · intimacy & emotional disconnection · anxiety creeping into the relationship · family & in-law boundaries · life transitions & burnout · reconnecting after a rough patch
Practicalities: 50-minute sessions • Online or in person in my Sandbach office • Individual & Couples. 🎁 20% Off All Therapy Sessions: Spring is here - and so is 20% off all therapy sessions. Let's make it count!
Next step: Introductory Session
50 minutes | Individuals & Couples
The first step is an initial session together - a relaxed conversation to get to know each other, hear a little about what's been going on, and explore how I may be able to support you. There's no pressure or commitment at this stage. Prefer to skip the Introductory Session? You're welcome to book your first therapy session directly.
Available in-person in Sandbach, Cheshire, or online from anywhere.
