Atlas Counselling does not "treat" experience, here we work towards goals primarily through acceptance and management.
Sometimes life feels like it is getting out of hand. You are transitioning through different phases of life and your expectations are changing as you do. You are frustrated that things are not going the way you had hoped or planned, and you aren't sure why? You may not be connected in the ways you'd like with your family or friends, so you don't have the personal support network that people are designed to rely upon. You wonder how other people manage and you feel like you should be, too...but you don't feel like you have any control and you aren't sure how to create meaningful change. You just need some help without judgement.

In addition to providing comprehensive psychotherapy, adapted for alcohol recovery (CBT, EMDR, Schema, ACT, DBT) I also work with your GP (optional) to help guide appropriate medication decisions.
Are you looking for support to reduce your drinking or stop drinking? Are you interested in recovery medication (e.g. The Sinclair Method)? Starting your recovery or recently relapsed? Do you drink to enhance positive mood, to feel more comfortable fitting in, for social bonding or to avoid negative feelings? Is your drinking motivated by current or past unresolved stressors/trauma? Or has drinking just simply become a habit? Overdrinking for whatever reason can affect your psychological and physical health, your relationships with friends/family and work. I understand that the initial step in asking for help is very challenging.

Relational Coaching is my personalised approach to helping people get on with one another and with life. I like coaching as a metaphor because it is positive, outcome orientated and has an everyday feel to it. One way of looking at counselling is to see it as a safe place to say what you need to say, to discover ways of saying what you need to say, to have someone hear (really hear) what you need to say, and to help you say it well!

I'm a Mental Health Social Worker offering online support for adults and 'walk-and-talk' sessions in Newcastle. You might feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism - constantly doing, but rarely feeling settled or enough.

Together, we’ll work toward more clarity, confidence, and peace in both body and mind - so you can feel like yourself again, or maybe for the first time.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
