Each therapist belongs to a registered professional body and keeps up to date training in their modality and specialism.

Sara Taylor Bsc, msc (mbacp) - psychoTherapist & supervisor

I am an experienced pluralistic psychotherapist specialising in addiction. I have been working in the counselling field for ten years for the NHS, residential rehabilitation centres and community charities. For the past six years I have worked as a private counsellor before setting up Springfield Therapy Practice three years ago.

My aim is to provide a counselling service that promotes a warm loving environment by which clients can find themselves, and the joy of life again, by working through a wide range of issues including depression, self esteem, work stress, relationship/family breakdowns, anxiety and lots more.

I am also a fully trained clinical supervisor that offers individual and group supervision to counsellors and other healthcare workers meeting their needs and the standards of their professional body.

I am a psychodynamic counsellor who has been involved in the counselling field for 15 years. I work in both my private practice and for a local hospice. Although I don’t have a specific specialism I do have extensive experience dealing with loss, depression, anxiety and trauma.

I offer a confidential and safe space for you to speak openly and freely without fear or judgement. Together with compassion, respect, and through a mutual working relationship, we will aim to understand how things are for you now and how to move forward into a brighter and more positive future.

Terry Smith (MBACP) - Counsellor

I am a qualified humanistic therapist and a registered member of the BACP. I graduated into counselling in 2011. The majority of my therapeutic career has been working with individuals suffering from one addiction or another in both a rehabilitation setting and private practice. Underneath these addictions are the struggles and issues that affect many people.

I offer a safe and caring space for you to talk without judgment and truly open up with whatever is going on for you, maybe for the first time in your life. My aim is for you to find your truth. To resolve the internal conflicts troubling you mentally, emotionally and spiritually, or any life experiences that you find difficult to deal with.
