Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am registered in the UK with the NCPS and bring over 8 years of professional experience. I am a Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Cognitive Hypnotherapist, and NLP Master Practitioner.
My approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing from both a Person-Centred and Solution-Focused perspective. Practising pluralistically allows us to adapt our work together to best suit your needs, ensuring a truly personalised and effective experience.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of symptoms and concerns. My specialisms include stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, low motivation, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, hoarding, career concerns, confidence struggles, and depression.
The therapies I offer aim to help you process difficult experiences that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. Together, we can cultivate greater understanding, self-compassion, and resilience.
**Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)** focuses on identifying and understanding your thought patterns and how they influence your behaviours. It provides practical tools to enable you to manage and reduce these challenges, empowering you to develop greater awareness of your emotions, feelings, and beliefs. The techniques aim to empower you to make positive changes and enhance your overall well-being.
**Person-Centred Therapy** supports you in exploring your beliefs, feelings, and current challenges. It encourages self-awareness and a deeper understanding of why certain feelings and behaviours occur. At the core of this approach is acceptance, genuinely seeing and understanding who you are. I will offer honesty and empathy, always viewing the world from your perspective. This process aims to boost your confidence and independence, helping you navigate your difficulties without feeling judged or directed.
**Psychodynamic Therapy** helps uncover the underlying causes of recurring patterns in your thinking and behaviour, especially those you may not be fully aware of. These patterns often originate from past experiences that can leave you feeling stuck. Exploring how your beliefs originated can provide insight into how they influence your relationships today and help you develop new ways to move forward.
I am committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Each session and treatment plan will be tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a supportive and personalised experience.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

Barbara Cross is registered in the United Kingdom with the NCPS and brings nine years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice. She works as a Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and also holds qualifications as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and an NLP Master Practitioner.
Her approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing on person-centred and solution-focused ideas so that the work can be shaped around each person’s needs. Practising pluralistically means she can combine methods and tailor sessions to create a personalised pathway that aims to be both practical and respectful of individual preferences.
Barbara supports people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, relationship problems, parenting challenges, hoarding, career issues, confidence struggles, and depression. She also offers help with intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, anger, coping with life changes, and related areas noted in her specialisms. She is an older, female, non-religious therapist.
Among the therapies she uses are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which examines thought patterns and the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical tools for change; Person-Centred Therapy, which emphasises empathy, acceptance and exploring personal beliefs and emotions from the client’s perspective; and Psychodynamic Therapy, which looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences can influence current relationships and behaviours.
Barbara aims to help people process difficult experiences that may be limiting them, and to build greater understanding, self-compassion and resilience. She is committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she shapes each session and treatment plan to fit the individual’s needs. Taking the first step can be difficult, and she offers support and encouragement throughout the therapeutic journey.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that fits your routine and comfort level, whether that is by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, and other parts of daily life.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if you ever want a different therapeutic fit you can change to someone else. For many people, virtual therapy is a practical and impactful option that supports consistent engagement and progress.
