Tricia Slater Counselling

Hello and a warm welcome to my website. I'm Tricia and I'm an experienced Psychotherapist with a degree in Applied Psychology with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. I work with individuals and couples.

 

Are you struggling with romantic relationships, friendships, family members and even work colleagues? Do you find it difficult to set clear boundaries with others, often saying yes to things when you mean no? Do you find the thought of displeasing others unbearable? Perhaps you are constantly worrying about what others think of you, wondering if they like you or not, overthinking about if you said the 'right' thing earlier that day, or if what you said annoyed someone.

​

Have you noticed that you have certain triggers that cause unhelpful behaviours but you don't know how to stop repeating the same patterns?

 

You may be struggling with an inner critical voice who keeps telling you things like "who do you think you are?" or "you will never pull that off" an inner critic that keeps pushing you down and making you feel small.

​

​

You may benefit from working with me if you:

 

• Struggle with anxiety, low confidence or self-criticism.

 

• Feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing to avoid conflict.

​

• Find it difficult to set boundaries.

​

• Want to understand your triggers.

 

• Are experiencing a bereavement and need some support.

​​

• Struggle with autism related anxiety and/or low mood.

​​

• Want to develop better ways to communicate your needs.

​

 

My approach combines different psychological theories, including CBT, person-centred and Inner Child work. My practice is ethical and trauma-informed. I tailor each session to you and to your specific issues and struggles, and I will listen to you in a way that makes you feel seen and validated. My aim is always to help you feel safe, grounded, and empowered. Sessions are paced carefully and gently so that you remain in control of your own healing journey.

 

In Couples Therapy I offer a safe, non-judgemental space, where both partners can learn to improve their communication, enhance understanding of each other's needs and learn how to resolve conflict in a kinder and more effective way.​​​

​​​

​​I offer both online and in-person sessions, providing a supportive environment where you can explore your story at your own pace. I’d be honoured to support you on your journey towards healing, resilience, and self-understanding.

​

I am a Commissioned Counsellor for Victim Support’s Bereavement by Homicide Department.
