Tiziana Barton, BACP

Tiziana Barton invites people who are taking the difficult step of seeking help to begin a compassionate, carefully held therapeutic process. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and that the first contact is often the most important in finding a constructive fit with a therapist. Tiziana is a registered member of the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Her practice is integrative, drawing on a wide range of resources and interventions from different theoretical traditions to meet each client’s needs.

Working from a holistic perspective, she views clients as whole people - encompassing mind, body and spirit - and seeks to help them reconnect with an innate core self that can be diminished by difficult childhood experiences or later life events. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addictions and relationship difficulties are often understood as signs of that disconnection. Losses like bereavement, divorce, redundancy or illness can add further strain to a person’s wellbeing.

Tiziana offers supportive therapy that aims to increase self-awareness, shift unhelpful patterns and restore creativity and purpose. She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the primary vehicle for change, providing a non-judgemental, empowering space in which clients can explore feelings and experiences. She is available to answer questions and believes that a strong early connection with a therapist helps make the work more effective. Tiziana welcomes people seeking short-term, problem-focused work as well as those interested in more in-depth psychotherapy.
