Polly Thelwall, BACP

Polly Thelwall is an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom, bringing eight years of practice to work with individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to create a supportive space where change and personal growth can begin. By listening attentively and asking thoughtful questions, Polly seeks to reflect the parts of a person that may struggle to be known and to hold the complexity of what makes life difficult.

Trained in psychodynamic approaches, Polly explores how past experiences shape present patterns and uses that insight to help clients reconnect with themselves. She complements this with relational, transpersonal and somatic perspectives and uses a parts-based model to attend to different aspects of experience across the lifespan. Her work focuses on identifying internal blockages and uncovering resources that emerge in the therapeutic process so clients can find a more grounded sense of balance.

Polly has many years of experience working across mental health and creative contexts. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
