Counselling in Horspath

Hello and welcome to my profile page. I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to talk to friends and relatives about how you're feeling; I offer a non-judgmental, confidential, safe space in which you can explore your experiences and discuss problems and difficulties. Let's find a way forward together.

Hello, I'm Jenny and I have over 12 years’ experience supporting clients through life's challenges. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family problems, early years trauma, exploring your identity or a whole host of other issues and I am here to listen and support you with an open mind. Through counselling you will have space to process your feelings, find restoration and healing, and be empowered to be resilient. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds with all kinds of different experiences.

I'm a psychotherapist (MSc), Somatic trauma therapist and EMDR therapist working with depression, anxiety, loss, sexual identity, self-esteem & relationship difficulties, abuse, trauma, PTSD. Through therapy, I can help you restore your strength and build up your resilience so that you can face life’s challenges with greater ease. I’ll support you in learning how to make empowering choices, regain control over your feelings, actions and relationships, as well as finding resolution to painful past events so you can achieve positive changes in life.

I offer a non-judgemental, safe environment to help you understand yourself and your life. Counselling can support you to find your own insights, new ways of being with yourself and others, and work towards healing and freedom. It can be a space to get things off your chest, rest or reset, find perspective and understanding in life and relationships, as well as having someone to really hear and be with you as you share and explore what is difficult. My practice is informed by Buddhist philosophy and meditation, which I have been exploring and supporting others with for over 15 years, emphasising embodied awareness and compassion.

If you would like someone to listen to you and help you find ways to manage your emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma or difficult life events then counselling can help. I work with young people and adults in private practise situated in Aylesbury and Thame. I offer a confidential non-judgemental safe and comfortable environment, allowing my client's to express and explore themselves, their feelings, thoughts and concerns.

I see clients from across all ages, ethnicities and with an extremely wide range of issues. I help clients to come to grips with substance abuse, depression, all forms of anxiety and much more besides. I help my clients to summon the strength to put their issues behind them. I help them to find new ways of feeling, thinking and behaving. Whatever their goals might be, I help them to realise that they're strong enough, good enough and able to achieve them. I particularly specialise in working with clients on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum.

Trauma-focused therapy helps to address the underlying traumatic memories and triggers that contribute to anxiety. CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. However, a combination of trauma-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can offer effective strategies for managing anxiety and reclaiming a sense of calm. I provide a safe and supportive environment for processing and healing trauma, and all anxiety-based issues. I offer therapy sessions over the phone and video link.

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist that creates a space where you, my client, can express everything; freely, safely, confidentially and without judgement. Together we will explore your dreams, what brings you joy, aspirations, struggles and your deepest fears. You will come to a deeper understanding of how past experiences have shaped your feelings about life today. Psychotherapy helps us welcome in and integrate all aspects of ourselves, with conscious awareness. With work, you will experience an authentic acceptance of your whole Self, and the myriad possibilities that this brings.

Hello my name is Shelley and I am a qualified adult and child Therapeutic Counsellor. I have a vast amount of experience as a pastoral worker working in schools and as a counsellor working for a charity. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offer face to face or online sessions . These sessions provide a confidential, supportive environment where clients can feel safe and explore the work through any emotional or life difficulties. I believe by offering online counselling this gives each individual the ability to reach their true potential within the safety of their chosen space.

I offer assessment and treatment of children and adults for the purposes of understanding difficulties and developing a treatment plan. I work with a range of difficulties including, challenging behaviour, depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, bipolar disorder, trauma, emotional regulation and self-esteem. I offer functional assessments of behaviour in children, to facilitate understanding and management of this. I also offer modified therapeutic interventions to support clients to understand their diagnosis of autism and related emotional well-being.

I work with a range of clients who are exploring questions of meaning and identity and seeking ways to live a more fulfilling life. Many of the clients who come to me are feeling overwhelmed and are looking to make changes in their lives, but do not know where to start and often have never had enough emotional support or space in which to explore their process and the recurring patterns in their life. Together, we work to understand issues such as anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, authenticity, loss, or low self-esteem and look for a path to healing and growth.

I have been working for over 20 years with people who have a wide range of issues including, relationship and work problems, low self esteem, addictions and other forms of self harm, abuse, eating disorders, bereavement as well as people who suffer from stress and anxiety or feel low, depressed and suicidal. I am also qualified to work with couples and groups about relationships. Most of my training and work as a counsellor has been about really learning to listen to people, hearing the ‘music’ behind their words and sensing their deepest feelings, hurts, joys and fears as it is then that therapeutic healing can occur.

Hello and welcome. Making the decision to begin therapy or counselling can be anxiety provoking. It is important, therefore, to find the right therapist or counsellor for you, as this is a vital element of the psychotherapeutic process. Finding a therapist or counsellor you feel safe with and with whom you have a sense of connection will enable you to explore the issues. People of all ethnicities and social backgrounds seek therapy for a plethora of reasons, and I welcome patients whatever their culture, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender.

Each of us face times in life when we experience difficulties which can lead us to feel anxious, stuck, or depressed. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to share thoughts, emotions and life experiences. I aim to always create a warm and collaborative environment going at your pace in which you can express yourself without fear of judgement. I have a gentle yet sincere approach which has the ultimate aim of unlocking your own resources to help you to achieve your potential and lead a more fulfilling, healthy, and satisfying life.

I am guessing that you are here because some aspect of your life is not working for you, or you are hoping for a change - maybe big, maybe small. Perhaps you are not seeking change at all, but find your world has changed, leaving you feeling like the rug has been pulled from under your feet. ​ Perhaps you are struggling with depression and /or anxiety, the legacy of traumatic experience, or the pain of bereavement. Maybe you are struggling in your relationships. Perhaps you do not identify with having mental health struggles, but feel a bit ‘stuck’, unhappy at work or unsure about the direction of your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unhappy, stuck or confused? Therapy can help. Whether you need short-term or long-term support, I can offer you the time and space to explore what’s going on and how your experiences are affecting you. Building a trusting relationship together, in which you can talk openly and honestly, can help deepen understanding about yourself, your emotions, your experiences and your relationships; develop your confidence and resilience and help you find more positive ways of dealing with your issues.

Individual and Couple's Counsellor. Are you feeling anxious, depressed or stressed? Do you have low self esteem? Do you have communication problems in your marriage/other relationships? Is your head full of negative or unhelpful thoughts? Do you need help in making adjustments? These are things I can help you with.. Taking the first step in reaching out for help is often daunting, but I will be there to support you. Counselling can lead to exploring other options and choices in your life, whilst rediscovering your unique qualities, and who you really are. I find my clients notice improvements in their lives after a few sessions.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, down, unmotivated? I understand that it can be difficult to know what to do next. I have experience of helping people make sense of these feelings, and find a path to improve their lives. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with traumatic events, it can sometimes feel like nobody understands, and there is no clear path forward. This can impact your life, and those you care about. I have worked with many people who feel like this, and there is a way forward. I offer online sessions wherever you're based, and in-person sessions in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire area.

Tailored to each individual I use varieties of therapeutic treatments including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analyses, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), also relaxation techniques.
