Anxiety Counselling in Kempston

I am a qualified Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor. I work in a person centred way offering support and understanding, without judgement. I find that clients value a safe place to tell their story, knowing that their thoughts and feelings will be accepted and their confidences kept.

I work with children and adults who experience a range of mild to severe difficulties including: Anxiety | Panic attacks | Generalised Anxiety disorder | Social anxiety | Phobias | Obsessive compulsive disorder | Depression | Low self-esteem | Tics | Pain Management | Headaches | Stress | Adjustment to health diagnosis |

I have been working within the field of mental health for almost 30 years, predominantly within the NHS, and have a wealth of training and experience. I provide both long and short term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and work to an exceptional standard of confidentiality. I work with a variety of problems and issues such as anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties. However, if you'd like to discuss what is troubling you, you are very welcome to call or e-mail me before committing to making an appointment.

Welcome to my therapy space where I am here to help you. There are many reasons why you have arrived here. Fundamentally you are seeking change ..something needs to be different. An issue or issues need airing and sharing to understand or transform. I may be overwhelmed by depression and/or anxiety and need a supportive space to work it out. Who am I you may be asking yourself....we can find out together therapy . I may be in relationships where there are some difficulties and challenges that need some understanding As a client in therapy I will bring openness and honesty at all times to my sessions.

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with the BABCP.My skills, interests and experience are primarily in eating disorders, depression and anxiety disorders. It is not unusual to feel lost and stuck in your illness, and it can feel anxiety provoking and frightening when initially asking for help. You may feel conflicted about letting go of your illness as you may find it helps and protects you at times - this is not uncommon - and we will spend some time at the start of therapy understanding what is keeping you stuck and working through some of these conflicting feelings in order to decide together the best ways to move

I never set out to work with a specific kind of person, however, around 70% of my clients tend to be women aged between 30 and 45. They worry, feel stressed and not good enough. They often find themselves saying 'what if' all the time having lost their zest for life without any knowledge of why! It might be triggered by past traumatic events, the challenges of juggling life, family or work. These feelings might be a new, unexplained experience or they may have been around for decades. Does this sound like you? Even if this doesn't, you may be like the other 30% of people I work with, and you matter too!

I am an integrative trauma informed Psychotherapist who, for the past 20 years, have been learning, applying and adapting different approaches to get to the bottom of the issues that keep us stuck in life. I offer a fresh targeted approach to Counselling, helping my clients with issues that vary from lack of motivation, low mood to depression, anxiety and its disorders (panic attacks, phobias…), low self-esteem, addictive behaviours etc. Using a blend of Compassionate Inquiry and Internal Family Systems, whilst using tools from Behaviour Analysis to aid Neuroplasticity, I can help you get to the root of your subconscious beliefs.

Hello, have you been wondering what it might be like to talk to a counsellor? To be really listened to? How might I help you? Everybody has problems, but for some working through them is more challenging than for others; perhaps because of an early childhood experience, trauma, a relationship problem, or a feeling of sadness that might feel too hard or frightening to unpack alone. I can help. It’s ok not to be ok, but you don’t have to be alone with your struggle. Counselling will help you make meaning of how and why you are feeling the way you do and enable you to move forward with resilience and confidence, please get in touch.

Life can throw us challenges at times where perhaps an outside perspective can help. I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist and CAT therapist working with adults. I also work in the NHS. I specialise in physical health conditions (e.g. oncology, palliative care, pain, digestive diseases), alongside issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship/interpersonal difficulties, loss, adjustment, trauma, life crisis, body image and identity. I'm also interested in issues of diversity and cultural conflict. I work in a collaborative and integrative way to help understand your difficulties and to move towards the change you seek.

I will support you when life is feeling tough, even overwhelming, especially when you are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, grief, bereavement, feeling lost or empty or having negative thoughts and feelings or perhaps there are changes you want to make in your life and would benefit from being in a calm and nurturing space. We can work together in a compassionate environment by exploring what is happening for you at the moment and perhaps looking at your past, such as your childhood or relationships, how it affects you now whilst helping you to move forward to live the life you want to experience.

Hello there and welcome. I am an experienced, BACP accredited counsellor. I qualified over ten years ago and currently run a private practice for individuals online anywhere in the UK. I also see clients face to face in the Bedford area. I offer a space for you to be heard in a warm, accepting and non-judgemental environment. It's a space where you can explore the issues - old or new - that have brought you to seek some support. The therapeutic relationship is an alliance that can help you towards a greater understanding of yourself, others and the world.

*Online and phone sessions available* I offer a caring and non-judgmental relationship in which you can explore the issues, experiences, thoughts and feelings that have brought you to seek help. We will explore the situations and challenges you are facing in your life. Speaking about what is difficult is the beginning of feeling better. Core Process Psychotherapy combines the wisdom and compassion of Buddhism with western approaches to psychology. This compassionate and relational approach emphasises our wholeness, and our inherent resilience and balance - however hidden these qualities may sometimes seem.
