Blayne Wherrett, BACP

Blayne Wherrett is a registered therapist with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings eight years of professional experience working with people across both primary and private healthcare settings. He provides therapy online and face to face, creating a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and begin to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Blayne specialises in supporting people with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, self-esteem concerns, depression and coping with life changes. He also works with attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, questions about life purpose, men's issues, midlife concerns, self-love and social anxiety. His practice combines client-centered listening with practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and reflective, meaning-focused work from an existential perspective.

He describes the counselling relationship as a collaborative puzzle - together with the client he turns over different pieces to understand how past and present experiences shape feelings and behaviour. That process is intended to open up new ways forward and help clients reach personal goals. He offers questions, reflections and a range of tools and resources to support reflection, growth and change.

Blayne checks messages on the service a few times per day Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm and aims to respond as quickly as possible, usually within 24 business hours. He welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
