About Me.

I’m Auberon Hedgecoe, a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Huntingdon, near Cambridge, offering sessions both face to face and online. Clients often tell me they value a calm, steady and genuine presence, someone they can talk to openly without feeling judged or rushed. This shapes the way I work, listening closely, staying present, and helping you make sense of what lies beneath the surface of your experience.

I came to counselling later in life, drawing on decades of lived experience around resilience, change and honest rebuilding. My background in the creative industries, as an art director, designer, and artist also helps inform my therapeutic style. This world helped to teach me how to support others to reach their potential and understand the creative mind, notice subtle details and approach challenges from many perspectives. This often resonates with clients who bring diverse ways of thinking, feeling and processing , including those who identify as neurodivergent, or who simply experience the world in their own distinctive way. My ongoing creative practice continues to inspire and ground me, keeping me connected, humble and grateful.

Over time, I’ve gained experience working with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, self-worth, eating disorders, addiction and recovery, confidence struggles, personality-related patterns, relationship issues, important boundaries and mindfulness. I also recognise the wider spiritual dimension of human experience. These influences shape a way of working that is grounded, focused, straightforward and empathetic.

Through Start Therapy, I offer a calm, steady space where you can be heard, understood holistically and supported. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, relationship difficulties or simply a sense that something isn’t sitting quite right, we can explore it together, safely, and at a pace that works for you.

I am fully qualified and insured, an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS and an Individual Member of the BACP, working in line with both organisations’ ethical frameworks. I hold an enhanced DBS, keep my safeguarding training current, and engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure my work remains current, ethically informed and responsive to the people I support.
