Welcome to The Eden Practice Counselling and Psychotherapy

David and Sinead work independently, whist sharing the same values. “We believe that effective change is a personal choice, therefore therapy must be relatable to you – personally”.

“The course of our own lives reminds us of how difficult the first steps might be for you – we respect your courage in choosing to talk to us”.

We unreservedly relate to you, and what you feel you need to bring to us – anxiousness; extreme and persistent low moods; feeling overwhelmed by unexpected emotional responses; maybe a sense that you’ve lost connection with who you are – or were. Substance, or alcohol misuse. Struggling with relationships, finding it difficult to trust, feeling constantly on edge, or alternatively, emotionally numb – wondering why life is just so hard!

Often these feelings are connected to psychological trauma, loss, and grief – life changing events.

Sometimes there isn’t a singularly obvious reason.

We now understand that adverse life experiences influence our whole belief system; how we think and feel; relate to others and society as a whole, long after the event itself has passed.

Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with you?”, we’re interested in understanding “What has happened to you?” and how adverse life experiences might continue to influence your life today.

We know that finding the right counsellor matters a great deal. We therefore encourage you to seriously consider our individual profiles, and choose the therapist you feel most comfortable with. Please keep in mind, a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in successful counselling.

Based in Burton upon Trent, we offer counselling online and in the comfort of a private garden room; a purpose-built sanctuary from the demands of everyday life, a space to simply be yourself.  We also have access to additional counselling rooms, offering flexibility to meet individual needs.
