I am a member of the Insternational Institute of Style Coaches and an eleite associate member of the International Style Me DivineStylist Academy.

Louise Hadfeild
Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
- 07814492113

I work both in the NHS and privately, providing assessment and treatment using cognitive Behavioural methods with clients experiencing moderate to severe psychological distress.
I have several years of experience helping people with eating disorders to regain control over their lives. From increasing self-esteem and assertiveness to more practical measures such as regular eating and goal setting, clients have been able to overcome their issues around food to enjoy a greater sense of physical and mental wellbeing.
I help people overcome their addictive behaviours including drugs and alcohol using a variety of methods including psychotherapy, CBT and EMDR. I also help the families and partners who are often affected by addiction.
I work as a consultant for businesses, counselling their staff and coaching their management teams and top executives, to ensure they are able to maximise the return on their investment in staff. This avoids absenteeism due to stress, reducing the burden on the business and creates an environment that attracts and retains talent. I have 30+ years in the business world and I am experienced in General Management, Training Managemet, Sales Management and I have an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. My experience enables me to get the best out of employees, that are already functioning to an acceptable standard, as well as identifying long term sickness potential and avoiding it through timely intervention.

Marty Chandler
Humanistc Therapist
- marty@selfhorizons.com
I work with clients across a range of mental health issues. I am passionate about my work and I believe that clients are their own best expert. With the right conditions being provided by the therapist, clients are able to explore patterns of behaviour that may be detrimental to their well-being and find new ways of self-regulating.
My role, as a Counsellor within Therapy Partners allows me to work collaboratively with young people that have developed an eating disorder and also offer support to their families. I am passionate about raising awareness of all elements of eating disorders. I believe it is my job to ‘re-introduce’ young people to themselves in a safe and positive environment, one step at a time, allowing the young person to "take control" of their journey.
Sharon Couzens
Counsellor
- sharon.j.couzens@gmail.com
I have always had a strong interest in people and how thought patterns can change behaviour, so I decided to embark on the counselling journey to deepen my knowledge. My counselling training approach is integrative, which means I draw upon different counselling styles to meet the needs of the clients. I have a client centred approach, meaning the client takes an active role in their treatment, whilst increasing resilience and increasing self-awareness.
Sophie Preswell
Humanistic Therapist
- sophie@selfhorizons.com
I use an Integrative approach within my work with clients, tailoring my approach to the needs of the individual. I can offer clients a safe space in which they can untangle thoughts and feelings and have the space to reflect, without feeling judged. My belief is that, given the right conditions everybody has the potential to grow.
I work with children, young people and adults for a variety of organisations. I am passionate about supporting people to make positive changes in their lives to improve their wellbeing.

Michelle Swann
Counsellor
I work as a humanistic / person-centred counsellor and use aspects of other psychological approaches such as CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I am aware that we are all different, so I adapt my approach to best suit you, my client.
