Forgiveness
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Forgiveness is a deeply personal process and does not mean excusing harm, condoning or forgetting about what happened, or reconciling if you don't want to. Therapy will allow you to explore and address any anger, grief, guilt, or desire for justice or self-protection that is stopping you from moving forward. Our work focuses on understanding emotional boundaries, and helps you release emotional connection to other people that will continue to cause suffering if you don't. Reclaim your well-being, autonomy, and a sense of peace.

Forgiveness
Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Holding on to hurt and anger is a drain on you, not the person who upset you. Being unable to forgive, maintains a blockage within you for moving forward and this must be cleared to have any chance of a happier future.

Forgiveness
Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
It can be very hard to foregive and often we get 'stuck' in the cycle of anger and regret, often with ourselves. Together we explore how to get 'unstuck'.

Forgiveness
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Have you been carrying hurt, resentment, guilt, or anger from something that happened in your past? Perhaps someone you trusted deeply disappointed you, a family relationship has become strained, or you find yourself struggling to forgive your own mistakes. Holding onto painful experiences can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, and ability to move forward, even when you genuinely want things to feel different.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling to help you explore forgiveness, emotional healing, and self-compassion at your own pace. Drawing from person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles, I provide a supportive space where you can process difficult emotions, understand the impact of past experiences, and discover what healing means to you.
I believe forgiveness is a personal choice, not an obligation. It doesn't mean excusing harmful behaviour, forgetting what happened, or reconnecting with someone who has hurt you. Sometimes, healing involves establishing healthier boundaries, releasing self-blame, rebuilding trust in yourself, or learning to move forward without receiving an apology.
I also recognize that cultural values, family expectations, and personal beliefs can influence how we understand forgiveness. My culturally responsive approach honours your individual experiences while helping you explore what feels right for you.
Whether you're working through betrayal, family conflict, lingering resentment, or difficulties forgiving yourself, you deserve the opportunity to find peace on your own terms. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in moving toward greater emotional freedom, self-understanding, and compassion.

Forgiveness
Leonie M Dippenaar
Life Coach, BWRT® Master Coach | Certified Hypnotherapist (CHT) | Ethno Psychology Practitioner (EPP)
Holding on to anger, hurt, or resentment can feel like holding a burning coal in your hand and expecting someone else to be burned. Forgiveness is not about excusing what happened or saying it was okay. It is about releasing the emotional grip of the past so you can reclaim your peace, your energy, and your power. In our work, we gently uncover what keeps you holding on and create space to let it go.
