Tiziana Barton, BACP

Tiziana Barton brings nearly two decades of therapeutic experience and a compassionate, integrative approach to supporting people through personal difficulties. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Her integrative method draws on many theoretical models, enabling her to tailor interventions to each person rather than relying on a single technique.

Her work is grounded in a holistic view that considers mind, body, and spirit. She believes that a core loving and creative self exists in everyone, and that this essential self can become obscured by parenting experiences or traumatic events in childhood. As a result, adults may present with conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addictions, or relationship difficulties, all of which can be understood as signs of disconnection from that inner self. Life losses including bereavement, divorce, redundancy, or illness can also deepen these struggles.

Counselling and psychotherapy with Tiziana are presented as pathways to reconnect with inner resources and to work through painful experiences. She emphasizes creating a personal, safe, and empowering relationship based on mutual trust and respect, and she sees the ongoing therapeutic relationship itself as central to healing. In practice she offers an unconditional presence - being fully with what is - as a foundation for awareness, growth, and change.

Tiziana aims to help clients gain insight and new perspectives in a non-judgemental manner. She outlines the potential benefits of counselling as increased authenticity and fulfilment, renewed creativity, clearer understanding of life circumstances, reduction of unhelpful behavioural patterns, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of dreams and inspiration. She also notes the distinction between counselling, which is often shorter-term and problem-focused, and psychotherapy, which may involve deeper, longer-term exploration of meaning and important emotional experiences. Tiziana welcomes contact from those who would like to learn more about her approach and whether her style might be a good fit.
