Counselling in Southampton

I offer confidential, client focused psychotherapy, Face-Face & Zoom worldwide . Through dialogue and the shared exploration of your life, you may find relief from recurring problems, live your life more fully and realise your full potential. Therapy is a personal and individual process of change, as well as understanding. This is an opportunity to take time and space to think about yourself and the problems you may be facing. By talking to a trained psychotherapist you may find it easier to understand how past experiences, thought patterns and behaviour, or anxieties about the future are causing difficulties in your daily life.

Das Wichtigste zuerst: Ich wünsche Dir und allen die Dir nahestehen während dieser außergewöhnlichen Zeit von Herzen alles Gute. Ich wünsche es jedem Menschen. Als ausgebildete Diplom-Psychologin (Universität Hamburg) hatte ich das Glück unter Professor Dr. Reinhard Tausch zu studieren. Ergebnisse meiner Diplom-Arbeit zum Thema 'Lebenssinn' zitierte er z.B. in seinem Buch: 'Hilfen bei Stress und Belastung'. Ich biete Gesprächspsychotherapie an, wobei ich mitunter hilfreiche Ansätze von anderen Therapien integriere. Ziel ist für mich Dich derart zu begleiten, daß Du Dir klarer bist über das was für Dich am Besten ist.

Knowing how to communicate your needs, desires and concerns is essential to grow personally and to live a satisfying life. Anxiety invoking circumstances, traumatic experiences and new challenging situations may, however, make it difficult to connect to yourself and/or to others.  As an integrative counsellor who works with young people and adults, I provide a warm, empathic and non-judgemental environment inviting you to work with me in a collaborative way. While it can be unnerving to seek counselling, it is about your desire to want to change things for the better and your courage to engage on a deeper emotional level.

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and have a number of years experience working in the NHS with people dealing with trauma, anxiety and perinatal difficulties. I want to offer you a therapy experience that is centred around you and your needs. You might be struggling with relationships in your life, dealing with worries and anxiety or unresolved traumatic experiences from your past - or you might not know exactly what is wrong but are just looking for a place to talk and understand yourself better. I can offer a safe and calm space to explore what is going on for you and think together about ways we can help you.

I also completed a psychotherapy course at PCI College in Dublin. I am a certified CBT Psychotherapist with a Professional Certificate CBT Therapy.

Welcome! I am an experienced Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Art psychotherapist. You may suffer from anxiety or depression or feel unsure about how to deal with relationship difficulties, separation , identity issues, bereavement ,mental health or addiction problems. You may feel stuck in certain patterns that you may wish to change and need support with. Making contact with people may feel difficult or you have low self confidence; the pandemic may have contributed to feelings of isolation and questioning one's future and purpose in life. In these situations it helps to express either verbally or through doing art your feelings.

Trauma can have a negative impact on your life, even if it is long past. It can lead to anxieties, toxic relationships, addiction and/or self-harm. It can leave you unable to draw boundaries or feeling worthless and ashamed.

I provide focused therapy that will help you to see your patterns and emotions as well as moral and ethical challenges arising from interpersonal and social contexts better, to then allow you to change them. Obstacles to change are very subtle, often almost invisible. Self-awareness can redirect your energies to creating more positive states of mind. We will work on how ethical and moral dilemmas arise between people, how this interacts with different life experiences that impact your personality and how that then affects your psychological well being.

Hi and Welcome. I am an empathic, energetic and highly motivated individual who loves motivating others and helping them to work towards realising their true potential. Therapy is an option you might like to consider if you are experiencing difficulties in your life. It can help you think and feel through difficult personal questions, take stock of your life and address the issues that are making life difficult. Gaining a clearer appreciation and understanding of a problem is the first step on the road to making changes. Adapting the way I work to your specific needs, we will explore and discover, what might best assist you.

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space in which you can explore whatever is troubling you. Our first meeting will help me to make an initial assessment of your situation and will also give you an opportunity to gain a sense of whether you feel comfortable with me in order for us to work together. This session will additionally give you an opportunity to explore what you would like to gain from counselling and give us a chance to establish whether you would like to commit to a short-term or potentially an open-ended basis. This will ultimately be your decision and can naturally change over the course of therapy.

I believe the most important thing in counselling is to develop a relationship of trust and confidence between therapist and client. I provide clients with a safe, confidential and warm space for them to reflect on the challenges they bring. Coming to counselling can be a daunting step; as a result it is that much more important to come into an accepting, empathic, non-judgemental environment. I take the view that there is no single approach that can be helpful to you in all situations. This gives more choice of how you want to look at your issues and creates flexibility to tailor therapy to your individual needs and aspirations.

Welcome to my profile page. I am specialized in treating problems such as Stress,Worry, Anxiety, Psychosis, Depression and OCD. I emphasise the use of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapies as these offer a wealth of scientific evidence backing their effectiveness. When getting to know you, I very much emphasize getting an individual picture of your concerns in order to tailor a treatment program towards you. This entails that you will get to know psychotherapeutic principles and techniques that are adapted specifically towards you. The gained knowledge will aid in helping you address your problems in a direct and pragmatic manner.

My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Kerstin, and I am Counselling Psychologist. I specialise in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, addiction, work-related stress, childhood trauma as well as relationship issues. I'm especially passionate about helping you work through the relationships in your life by making sense of how you relate to yourself and others, supporting you to live a more fulfilled and content life.

In today's fast-paced world, people experience many challenges and complex pressures. As a psychotherapist, I offer clients a secure and confidential space to explore their situation and examine the obstacles affecting their happiness and health. I strive to support clients’ emotional and personal growth by creating an open dialogue which encourages curiosity and reflexivity to help them confront their challenges, gain insight into their lives, and move closer to what they hope to achieve through therapy.

I use a person-centered approach because it fits very well with my own philosophy for life. This approach is based on the belief that we are all individual experts on our true selves. It follows that each of us has the ability to live our life to our full potential. In a sincere, trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic partnership, we can apply our own strength and imagination to overcome obstacles. As a person-centered therapist, my aim is to provide a compassionate and confidential environment, to help you unlock your capacity and inner resourcefulness.
