Welcome to A. Bassett Counselling

A journey to thriving in life

Do you feel held back by anxiety or depression?

Are you wondering how to make sense of your situation and find a path towards a better life? Perhaps you’ve reached the point where you know things have to change, and you’re ready to explore the underlying cause of your distress and make changes. It might be that the relationships in your life are causing you great pain or maybe to the outside world you look like you’re living your best life but internally you’re overwhelmed and struggling.

In a space where you’re supported, seen and heard you can start to gain clarity and awareness over the complexities of your current problems, while also understanding how your earlier life experiences have influenced where you are today.

Once we’ve untangled the patterns of the past and present, I can support and coach you in your journey toward gaining the life you truly want and need.

TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS

Training, qualifications & experience


Let's face it – life can be tough and even harder if you've had a less-than-ideal start. I'd like to help you overcome whatever is holding you back.


It might be that you're suffering from crippling anxiety. Or maybe depression has settled in and you need someone who can understand and sit with you in the dark times before helping you move towards the light.

I believe you’re the expert in your own life, and I’m here to support you in connecting with your inner knowing to help you achieve the life you hope and dream of.


My decision to train as an integrative counsellor was inspired by my own personal therapy several years ago, which combined person-centred, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches. These are the three main modalities I use in my counselling practice.

I'm constantly developing my knowledge, most recently in understanding and working with autism and ADHD. As a therapist based in Cambridge, I work with a diverse range of individuals and issues.


I also have an interest in supporting individuals struggling with relationships be that dysfunctional family, divorce separation or work colleagues.
