Aviva Counselling in Grantham

If you are a trauma survivor, I see you. I’m here for you. I provide a safe space to explore what happened to you. Together, we’ll find ways to manage the psychological and physiological distress that is a result of trauma. You are not alone. My collaborative process creates a safe space for you to work through your traumatic experience(s) and come out stronger on the other side. I will empower you to make choices to live your life in accordance with your values and beliefs. I am an inclusive therapist and work with everyone who has experienced trauma, including marginalized and under-represented groups of people.

I am a Clinical Psychologist (HCPC) and Accredited CBT Therapist (BABCP). I currently offer online psychological therapy to adults over the age of 18. I am able to work with individuals with a broad spectrum of psychological issues including anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, trauma, and relationship issues. My work emphasises a holistic approach to well-being, recognising the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. I can work with people struggling with living with a health condition such as chronic pain, women’s health, long-term health conditions, and difficulties with sexual function.

Psychological therapy involves exploring one’s life story, the current difficulties and their contexts, making sense of the difficulties together, identifying what you would like help and support with, defining individualised goals, applying specialist therapeutic interventions to help transform, heal and make change, with regular review of progress. Yoga Therapy is the science of applying yoga to overcome health difficulties, integrating mind, body, emotional and spiritual influences through breathing techniques, embodied movement, yoga postures, meditation, mindfulness-based approaches and lifestyle guidance.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, internal conflict, overwhelmed with life challenges, feel stuck, etc, you are in the right place. I am passionate about helping people explore these feelings and emotions in a safe and confidential space, look for ways to cope, feel better and move forward. I work with a wide rage of issues, including, anger management, self-esteem, stress, relationship breakdown, PTSD, bereavement/grief, domestic violence and many others. I also offer Christian Counselling, a form of spiritual counselling to individuals that would like counselling tailored to their Christian perspective.

You may experience unexpected disruption, chronic conditions, major life upheaval, triggering of past experiences, bereavement, and any of these could create anxiety, trauma or depression. Understanding could fall away, your support system could become unhelpful, anti-depressants may not be effective and your coping mechanisms may not work. You may feel overpowered by your circumstances and perhaps seek support and reinforcement as you experience distress. You may want your complex issues to be contained and get some tools and techniques to cope. Perhaps you may just like to confide in someone and share your experience.

I am an accredited Clinical Psychologist working in private practice and the NHS. I support clients seeking help with a range of difficulties. I believe that therapy is often about helping people to re-integrate parts of themselves that have become alienated, overwhelming or maligned. A state of ‘wellbeing’ is not an absence of pain or difficulty, but a state in which all of our experience can be held and understood. This is both an internal but also a deeply social process, as humans make meaning in relationship with others and their community.

As a registered counselling psychologist with the HCPC as well as a chartered member of the BPS, I’m here to help. I have an open and honest style and take an optimistic approach to tailor our work to your specific requirements. I’m experienced in getting into the weeds of people’s problems and working to untangle these struggles. I’m professionally trained to work across the main psychological approaches of therapy and I always start by understanding where we can create a bespoke approach that is going to specifically benefit you.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience. Individuals coming to see me may be considering therapy for a specific concern or difficulty (e.g. anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties) or have a specific question, event or life transition that needs attention.

The constant nagging of “what if”, “why?” or “if only”; knots in your stomach, breath catching in the throat, unable to focus, unable to sleep, feeling like something bad is going to happen any time? Anxiety and depression limit and impact every aspect of your life, leaving you constantly scared and tired. Even when you know that there is nothing to fear, or that the trauma is in the past, this knowledge does not help. This is because our brains have evolved for survival, not for happiness. This means that our brain does not discriminate between real and imaginary dangers; habitually overreacting and overwhelming, stealing hope.

People often come to see me at a time of change, life transition or when there is a difficult decision to be made in their lives. Alternatively, people might reach out when feeling stuck.
