Counselling in BA1

I am a trained, accredited and registered (UKCP and UKAHPP) Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, with over 15 years’ experience. Apart from six years’ training (humanistic, UKCP accredited) as a Psychotherapist, I have also done further courses in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Sex Therapy, Addictions counselling, Couples’ counselling and have specialised in working with domestic abuse survivors. Before training as a Psychotherapist, I worked in Higher education Administration. I am experienced in working with individuals bringing a whole range of issues from anxiety and depression to bullying and other abuse.

Hi, my name is Sanna and I am qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the National Counselling Society. Have you experienced trauma and finding it difficult to move on with your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, anxious, scared, struggling with a sense of loss in your life or uncertain which direction to take. I offer warm, non-judgemental and confidential safe space where together we can explore what is worrying you at your pace. I can support individuals coping with significant life changing events such as serious illness, redundancy, divorce or bereavement, or any transition that feels challenging.

I am a relationship and psychosexual therapist, helping individuals and intimate partners with sex and relationship issues. I offer an empathic and non-shaming environment to explore issues, such as betrayals, mismatched desire or enhancing sexual intimacy. I can help to find ways to hear each other and restore connection. I know how important it is to work at your pace. I am kink and poly informed and friendly. Whilst these can be a part of a client's life, I know it is often not the reason clients come to therapy, and sometimes it is.

Hello. If something isn't right in your life, get in touch and together we can see how that can change. Asking for help is a brave first step. My initial session is 90 minutes so we can really explore your situation. I look forward to hearing from you.

If you are struggling with depression, difficulties in relationships, grief, anxiety or trauma, then the process of counselling can be deeply transformative. I offer a human-to-human therapeutic relationship. I'm non-judgmental, deeply empathic and compassionate; with years of experience as a humanistic therapist, I walk alongside my clients accompanying them on their journey of healing, awareness and change. I do this by deep active listening and bring anything on the edge of awareness into the light, through a client-led approach.

I believe my strongest quality as a therapist is to make you feel accepted, understood, and most of all safe. I believe that only when we feel truly safe, free of judgment and condemnation can we trust, and trust is the most prized of all human emotions. My approach will enable you to be fully involved in every step of the therapy process and to feel truly engaged in every step you take towards your happiness. I am very clear in explaining to my clients what I offer and how I work.

I’m an experienced and fully-qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist, working with individuals aged 18 years and over offering a safe and supportive place in which to talk about your difficulties and concerns. We can begin to explore what might be troubling you, or causing you distress and suffering, or preventing you from experiencing life to the full. Together we can take time to focus on what’s important for you, to try and make sense and understand what may be happening to you and think about changes you want to make. I offer open-ended therapy with sessions once a week beginning with with an initial session or sometimes two.

Wondering what to do, unsure what or who can help. And how? Whatever is troubling you, whatever is getting you down you don't have to struggle alone. Talking to someone outside your circle of family, friends or even colleagues at work can be the start of a new path. A path where you can discover how you got to this place in your life. And perhaps more importantly what it is you are seeking.

I put you, the client, at the centre of my work, ensuring you have a relaxed, supportive and confidential environment in which to explore your thoughts, your feelings and how you make sense of the world. My practice engages with a full range of client issues from those that constellate around crisis to those that represent an awakening - particularly since these are often interrelated. A personal crisis may signal that you are “standing on the threshold” between a habitual way of being and a new way forward.

If you are looking for a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who specialises in women's therapy, I have had many years of experience offering psychotherapy to women of all ages and with all emotional difficulties. I have written on body image and provided organisations with presentations on eating disorders: Eating disorders: how to understand, how to help. For over 30 years I have worked with these problems, emotional trauma and personality disorder. I can also help you with a process that can enable you to move forward with life transitions and how you may be able to negotiate change.

I am a health psychologist working as a CBT therapist. Please see my website resolvingpain.co.uk for more information. Or you can email me: jacqueline@resolvingpain.co.uk During these times I can offer therapy via Skype and Zoom too if necessary.

You will find me a very practical therapist. If you are having problems at work, I have been there; if you have relationship problems, money problems or just worry what is going on and have lost your self-esteem, I have been there too. I have worked around the world, recruited, trained and motivated staff and got rid of a few as well. Met business targets and left companies that did not fit in with my ethics. I have a degree in Sociology, a Diploma in Business Studies, a Certificate in Teaching Adults and a Masters in Information Systems.

I understand everyone is going through something different. Whether it’s anxious thoughts spoiling your day-to-day, a traumatic event, confusing thoughts, or worries about your child's mental health. I draw from various theories and my 22 years of experience to find techniques that would suit you or your loved one at a specific time in any area of mental health. I can support you with anxiety, stress, trauma, and personal growth. I mainly focus on the mind-body connection to address these issues holistically.

I am a specialist child and adolescent psychotherapist, trained to work with under 5s, children, adolescents, young adults and their families. I have 20+ years of experience (CAMHS/private) treating a range of difficulties including but not limited to: emotional dysregulation, self harm, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, gender dysphoria, aggressive behaviour, personality disorders and can support neuro-diverse young people with the challenges they face. I help my clients discover, understand and overcome the underlying causes of emotional distress that hinder their ability to face challenges and enjoy life.

If you're reading this, then you're most likely struggling right now. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or low. You may be angry, sad or stressed by a certain situation in your life. Maybe you've lost direction and meaning, and feel stuck as a result. Or lost someone important to you, either through a bereavement or relationship breakdown. Feelings of despair, fear or hurt can be overwhelming. But...you've started the process of addressing these issues by looking for a counsellor. You've taken the first step. Together, in a collaborative effort, we can look at what is bothering you and attempt to find a way through.

Are you struggling with difficult emotions or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Talking about our life honestly and openly, with an empathic and non-judgemental therapist can be a deeply healing process. I offer a safe space to work things through, to make sense of what you are experiencing and explore options for moving forward.
