Tiziana Barton, BACP

Tiziana Barton is an experienced therapist who encourages people to take the first step toward support, acknowledging how difficult that decision can feel for individuals and for those seeking help on behalf of a loved one. She is a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) - a professional UK body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and brings an integrative, holistic perspective that attends to mind, body and spirit.

Tiziana works from the view that everyone is born with a core self that is loving and creative, and that life experiences - including the ways we are parented and traumatic events - can obscure that core. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, addictions and relationship problems are often understood as signs of disconnection from that inner self. She supports clients to explore losses and life changes such as bereavement, divorce, redundancy and illness, helping them rediscover strengths and personal resources.

Her approach emphasises a healing relationship grounded in mutual trust and respect, where presence and non-judgemental awareness create space for new self-understanding. Tiziana describes counselling as a way to reconnect with creativity, break unhelpful patterns, and improve relationships with family, friends and colleagues. She distinguishes shorter-term, problem-focused counselling from deeper psychotherapeutic work for those wishing to explore life meaning and important emotional patterns over a longer period.

Tiziana makes herself available to answer questions and believes that feeling a connection with a therapist from the outset is important for effective therapeutic work.
