Counselling in AL5

Want to explore what's brought you to therapy in a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental setting? I'm an Integrative psychotherapist - the essence of my practice is to work with you transparently and with warmth, empathy, humour and gentle challenge.  Perhaps you’re struggling - feeling alone and isolated.  Maybe you’re overwhelmed, depressed, burnt out or anxious.  It could be that what you’re experiencing isn’t any of these - maybe you don't feel yourself and you don’t know why.  If you’re experiencing any of these feelings, sharing your burden through counselling can help. 

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience working with children, adults and families. I have worked in the NHS at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Nottingham Children’s Hospital, and Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

At some point in our lives we all need helping hand. Struggling with emotional issues can impact on the way we move forward which can cause us to feel frustrated, frightened and apprehensive. Working together, we can explore both past and present experiences that may be impacting on your life now. With understanding and empathy we can discover and develop more benefical coping strategies which may also help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression and help you feel calmer about managing your situation.

Problems are personal, bereavement, depression, stress, relationship breakdowns and anxiety can all feel unbearable and isolating. The reasons for seeking counselling or psychotherapy are as unique and varied as we are. Sometimes we have an idea of what is annoying or upsetting us. Sometimes we struggle to understand issues that darken our days. We might enter a cycle of blame or self-loathing in which we get lost, finding it difficult to move forwards in our lives.

I am an experienced and warm counsellor and care deeply about what I do. You may be depressed, anxious, stressed, angry or have relationship problems or work-related difficulties. I will listen to you with empathy and without judgement so that can I see your world through your eyes and so that you feel heard. If your thoughts and feelings are confusing, conflicted or unclear, I will work with you collaboratively to unravel and make sense of them.

On our journey through life, we can become lost and caught up in negative thoughts and feelings. This can change our perception and take us out of balance. It may also affect our well-being by creating problems in our relationships which may lead to anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. Counselling can help us to understand patterns in our life that cause distress and helps to facilitate insights into the core of our thinking, our self belief, our behaviour and the imposed limitations to bring about change. I have experience in working with teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement and low self esteem.

Sometimes there are things happening in our lives, or things from the past that can overwhelm and affect us in many different ways. You may feel like there is no-one you can turn to or maybe don't want to share with your family and friends. I offer a warm welcome in a kind and friendly environment, where I will listen without judgement in a confidential space, to help you make sense of what you are experiencing. We can work together in your own time to help you move forward with more understanding and strength.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, registered with The Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC).

Are you looking for a warm, experienced, well-trained professional psychotherapist / counsellor to help you understand and work through your difficulties? I offer a safe space to help you talk through, understand and make the changes you want to see to lead a more fulfilling life.

I have been a qualified Clinical Psychologist since 2015 and have over 14 years experience working in mental health with children, adults and families. I have worked mainly in the NHS within Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) post qualification and more recently within a higher education setting. I have an interest in working with young people; supporting with the transition to adulthood and helping to navigate the complex journey of identity formation. I offer assessment and intervention to people aged 16 and above and offer parent support too. I am keen to improve accessibility amongst ethnic minority groups.

My name's Stephanie, I'm a psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and nutritionist. I use Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), which is a form of CBT. I work with couples as well as individuals, and integrate various types of therapy alongside REBT. I work with an array of issues, with particular emphasis on working with anxiety and shame. I do a lot of work on improving self-esteem, though this often runs alongside another priority problem. I work with phobias, loss of direction, trauma and depression, as well as couples therapy. Some work involves promoting a healthy relationship with food to achieve weight control.

Are you feeling anxious, sad or struggling to cope? Perhaps you are going through life-changing events such as bereavement, divorce, long-term illness or feelings of being stuck and not knowing how to move forwards? Whatever is troubling you, I am here to listen and would like to help you find a positive way forward. I work with adults and adolescents, providing a safe and compassionate environment where you feel comfortable to talk about any aspect of yourself or your life that is troubling you.

You may have arrived here because you’re feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with your thoughts and feelings. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or depression, possibly brought on by difficult relationships, a loss, or a trauma. Perhaps you're not really sure what’s troubling you. Whatever it is you don’t have to manage on your own. If anything from your past or present is interfering with your self-worth or peace of mind, I can help. I offer a friendly and confidential space where you can talk about your difficulties without the fear of being judged, helping you move forward with a better quality of life.

Are you experiencing a challenge that feels too difficult to cope with? Or maybe you are dealing with overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement and are feeling sad? Are you managing these emotional challenges with unhelpful patterns of behaviour? Having experienced some difficulties in my own life, I understand how hard it can be to take the first step towards therapy. I offer a safe and confidential space where, together, we can work with the issues that are unique to you. I work holistically by using a variety of therapy approaches that will help support you in finding a way forward.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.
