Pressured by work or life? Struggling to cope? I’ve been there—I know change is possible with the right support. For years, I battled the same pressures, turning to alcohol to cope, until I realised I had the power to make different choices—ones that worked for me. I know firsthand the toll that self-doubt, pressure, and unhealthy coping mechanisms can take on your mental health and relationships.

Sally Bamford (previously Royds) – Derbyshire Psychotherapist

(No Current Availability)

Hello, I’m Sally, welcome.

I have experience of helping people with many different personal problems-anxiety, depression, feelings of helplessness, abuse of different kinds, physical and emotional. My past clients have included people who couldn’t make sense of their lives, some who have found it hard to step outside of their front door feeling like they had lost control of their lives. I have helped adults of all ages who suffered from difficult or abusive families.

How I work

To begin with I will listen to you. As I get to know you and the difficulties you face, I will help you to feel that you have a safe place to say anything, without being judged in any way. As you learn to trust me, together we can find ways to deal with the causes of those difficulties and how to cope. I will help you to make the most of your own potential to deal with life, even if you don’t think you can. I will help you to believe and trust in yourself.
