Alicia Tromp

I am a warm, caring humanistic therapist, registered with the Â鶹ԭ´´. I welcome people of all ages (16+) and identities. I am LGBT QIA+ affirmative and part of the community myself.

I can support you with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse.

Perhaps you are looking for a therapist because you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or low. Perhaps you are here because you would like to find support on your journey recovering from abuse, or you are currently struggling with a relationship in your life. Or you may be here because you have noticed a tendency to people-please in yourself that is getting in the way of your well-being, and you would like to be able to set clearer boundaries and listen to your own needs more.

I strongly believe that within the safety of a trusting counselling relationship, we can find clarity and a way to move forward, towards healing and growth. I am here to support you on your journey.

What to expect:

My approach is rooted in person-centred humanistic counselling. This means that as a therapist, I work with what you bring to the sessions, and you decide what you want to talk about. You are the expert on yourself and your life. I won’t give you advice, but I will bring an empathic, engaged and authentic presence to our interactions.

I work in a trauma-informed way: creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship in which you feel able to share things you may not have spoken about before takes time, and I commit to sitting with you in that space. This also means exploring things at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I will regularly invite you to review our work together, to ensure the counselling is meeting your needs.

My approach also includes relational work: when it feels useful, I explore the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship with you in a supportive, collaborative way, to help you further explore the issues you bring to counselling. 

Qualifications:

• Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from York St John University
• AQA Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills

Experience:

• Samaritans volunteer
  
• Before training as a counsellor, I taught languages and literature at university level
  
• I have extensive experience of university settings and counselling young people and students
  
• I have experience of living and working in different cultures, what it feels like to adapt to a new culture, and being both French and Dutch, what it feels like to have a mixed cultural identity or not quite be able to pin down one’s identity
  

Further details:

Please note I currently only have availability for online and telephone sessions.

Session fee is 55£ (duration 50 minutes). Concessions (50£) available for those on low incomes and student counsellors.

I speak English, French and Dutch and can offer therapy in any of these languages.
