and build the life you want
Hello, I'm Dr Bethany Stroyde.
Being human can be a tricky business; but you are not alone.
I specialise in integrating clinical psychology with somatic approaches (including therapeutic yoga) and neuroscience – and help you to understand yourself on a deeper level, make sense of your struggles, and support you to make the changes you seek in your life.
Services Offered
Therapy
Looking for regular therapy sessions? I work flexibly, offering short-term, focused therapy or longer-term exploratory therapy, based on your needs and preferences.
Consultation & Coaching
Looking for some advice or guidance with a wellness MOT? Good for when you feel able to put things into action on your own following a little check-in and guidance.
Yoga
Looking for mindful yoga classes or beginner's yoga? Or perhaps you want to explore yoga's therapeutic benefits? Explore private individual sessions, or group classes.
