Tiffany Pagett

Vegan Therapist in UK

Hello there, and welcome. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re thinking about asking for some help, and that takes courage. You’re safe here. Let me put your mind at ease, and tell you a bit about how therapy with me could help you.

​Therapy is for you, and about you. What if there was a place where you could be yourself? Where you could bring whatever it is that is troubling you, no matter how big or small you may think it is, and share it with someone safe, who won’t judge you?

What would it be like to have someone listen, really listen to you, strive to understand what it’s like for you, and work together with you to find a way forward?

This is what counselling with me could be like – a relationship where you feel safe, accepted, and secure enough to work through what’s going on for you, past, present, and future.

Fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, the past, – all invisible, right? But inside, they are very real and powerful. Holding you back, holding you prisoner, even. Keeping you small, fearful, unheard, stuck, distressed and unsure.

We’ll work together to sort through things and move towards healing, growing, leaving unhelpful patterns, habits and experiences in the past and moving towards the future you want.

To take the first step, I welcome you to get in touch with me, to see if we might work well together.

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Tiffany (she/her), and my passion is empowering people who may be feeling overwhelmed, hurt, confused or stuck to navigate their way through whatever is troubling them to find the purpose, meaning, joy and worth in themselves and their lives.

​I’m a BACP registered counsellor/psychotherapist as well as an occupational therapist. I’ve worked in mental health with people of all ages for many years. I’m experienced, skilled and trained in a wide variety of approaches which I’ll draw from to support you.

Most importantly, I’m able to offer you a warm, accepting, non-judgemental space to explore what’s happening for you.

​I’ve experienced counselling myself of course, so I know what it’s like to be ‘in the other chair’ (as well as how important it is to find someone you ‘click’ and feel safe with)!

I began Peridot Counselling to create a space where you can feel safe, welcomed, accepted, valued and truly heard. There are not enough spaces in the world for this, and they are important! A space just for you, where you are able to share without fear of judgment, and I can bring in my wide variety of experience and training to provide therapy tailored to YOU and your unique needs. We’ll build a way forward together.

You may have something specific you need support with. You may just have the sense that things aren’t quite right, and you could be feeling a lot better than you do now.​

​Being heard and understood by a safe person can be incredibly healing, and can be the first step towards a happier, healthier future. I’ll walk with you.
