Thank you for finding your way here.

Safeplaceuk.com is a small private therapy service established in 2006 catering for those suffering from psychological difficulties and/or the trials of everyday life.

This service places ultimate importance in the idea of Safety, both within the therapeutic relationship and in the client’s mind, body and spirit. We see psychological difficulties as:

‘just defences people use when they feel themselves to be under immense threat and have to do something desperate in order to hold themselves together’.

With this in mind all problems and parts are viewed with compassion rather than with destructive self-criticism. The therapist and the client work together to find an alternative coping strategy built from the foundations of strong inner resources and safety.

Central to our philosophy is that Health and Wellbeing come from Key Factors which run through the work we do together: The importance of Stillness, Taking Responsibility, moving from Mind or Head Consciousness to Heart Consciousness; Alignment, Centredness, Grounding and Safe Protective Boundaries.
