Alcohol Use Counselling in Newark-on-Trent

Hello my name is James and I work as a counsellor and a Jungian Sandplay therapist. I have a practice based in Lincoln and work with children, teenagers and adults. Jungian Sandplay is a form of therapy where you are invited to work in a tray of either wet or dry sand to make pictures and scenes that reflect what is happening in your world. Through the use of miniatures and various objects you can express your feelings, reconnect with your inner self and move forward in areas where you feel stuck. My room is equipped with shelves that provide hundreds of miniatures, ornaments and natural objects.

You are the only person who knows exactly how you feel, which means, you are the only one who knows when something is wrong. When something has happened, big or small, but enough to create feelings of anxiety, stress and depression, it can lead us to feeling isolated and alone. There is a human need to want to get back to that balance of a happy life and that change can only happen when you know and understand what is wrong and why. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by a situation, current or historical, we cant seem to find a way out. But balance is achievable again, but sometimes we just need a little support to help us get there.

I understand how hard it can be to choose the right therapist for you. The decision to reach out for help and seek therapy can be tough enough alone. Sometimes we face struggles in life leaving us feeling stuck or overwhelmed and need help in finding our way. My aim is to offer you a confidential, warm, and safe space to explore your reasons for seeking therapy. I have experience working in different settings including a college and a sexual abuse charity. Gaining particular experience working with neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD and LGBTQIA+ related issues. Along also sexual assault, rape, shame and complex trauma.

With over 20 years of experience, I have worked 8 years as a counsellor in primary care NHS and 12 years in private practice. Everybody I work with is a unique human being with a personality and life experience like no other. I work eclectically with a wide range of disciplines to achieve the best combination of therapeutic tools to help the client. Our relationship is the most important part of the work we are doing together. My attention and focus is about making you feel safe and cared for so you feel empowered and equipped to engage in the therapeutic process

It is my aim to create a compassionate & safe space where you feel truly listened to & heard. Here we can explore thoughts, feelings & behaviours that may be making life harder with the aim to bring acceptance and then change. I have worked extensively with heightened levels of anxiety, anger issues, depression, patterns of unhelpful behaviours & helped clients to develop & maintain healthier relationships. As an experienced Humanistic therapist I believe that traumatic memories & painful relationships can block our self worth and lead us to take in & believe unhelpful & inaccurate self narratives.

Hello my name is Dawn, I understand that first contact and arranging a session and coming, takes a lot of strength, Many I have found is concerned about having to go into details of the concern they coming with or having to relive maybe a trauma. See therapy as painful. Therapy does not have to be painful, you do not have to go into details if did not wish to. Goals maybe to be able to look ahead to see there is a light, to feel heard, listened to, to be acknowledged. A place to feel safe and to look at all tools resources abilities already within to come away the the past and look to future which is preferred in a healthy way.

Hi my name is Lizzie, How are you feeling? unhappy, anxious, stressed, angry or depressed, or is there something specific you feel you would like to talk about. Life can be difficult and overwhelming, we sometimes struggle to make sense of our feelings and what is going on for us. We can get stuck and not know how to make life more comfortable. Although that first step can be nerve wracking and sometimes difficult, Counselling can be that first step to making that positive change. This is your time for you, to be listened to and understood and have the the world seen from your perspective, at a pace that is comfortable for you.

I began as an anthropologist, seeking to understand other people's cultures from their own perspectives. Then my desire changed to facilitating direct positive shifts in other people's lives; lives spoilt by trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, persecuted sexuality and lack of life direction. My work is now with private clients across anxiety and mood problems - generalized anxiety, OCD, PTSD, psychosexual problems and depression. I also work in depth on relationship problems which often link with anxiety. In Islington Mind I worked with LGBT clients including asylum seekers persecuted for their sexuality.

Hello, I'm Louise and I'm a consultant clinical psychologist and family therapist with 20 years of experience helping adults and young people with emotional and mental health difficulties. I specialise in working with problem drug and alcohol use, but also work with all kinds of emotional and relationship distress, including managing life with a chronic health problem eg chronic pain, endocrine conditions, DSD (different / disorders of sex development). Many people I see experience anxiety, low mood, chronic feelings of emptiness, disconnection or shame, often as a result of life experiences involving adversity, trauma and loss.

Does it feel like life is getting on top of you? Can things sometimes feel overwhelming? Perhaps you can’t actually name what you’re feeling, but just feel low without really understanding why. I am here to help you process these thoughts and feelings to enable you to work towards a better understanding of yourself. This increased self- awareness will help you on the road to managing your life more effectively. I work with adults (any age, gender or sexual orientation) experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief or bereavement, addiction issues or relationship problems.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and have the skills to work either with a non-directive approach or I can be solution focused and offer insight. I am also a qualified addiction therapist and recovery coach and I am able to work with broad range of people who may have experienced abuse, trauma self-esteem issues, domestic abuse and all levels of anxiety or depression. I believe wholeheartedly that we all have within us the tools we need to move forward in life given the right environment, support and relationship. I believe that together and with a tailored approach to suit you we can work through what it is you need to work through.

Hello and Welcome to my profile. I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and believe in people as individuals. Whatever your endeavours, your challenges, your turmoils and your stories I believe that being heard with genuine care and compassion can help us to recover from ongoing distress and help us to move forward. Additionally, learning about and drawing upon strategies to help alleviate stress & anxiety can be both empowering and transformative. I offer counselling from a person centred core, integrating other counselling theories and resources depending on the needs of my clients.

Have you lived with anxiety or depression, and need someone to help you unravel what keeps you in distress? Perhaps you feel behind in life, and struggle to know what stops you from moving forward. I am here to help you to live more authentically, to explore your relationship with different parts of yourself, and to help you move from being stuck to a more flexible way of experiencing. I help my clients to build a compassionate relationship with themselves. The goal is that clients begin to feel able to cope with difficult feelings and situations, make decisions that align with their values, and strengthen their relationships.
