I offer one to one talking therapy – in person as well as online. It can be a great relief to share your worries and stress with someone who isn’t your friend or family member and can therefore listen and understand without expectations or judgement. You might feel stuck with painful and difficult emotions, find yourself repeating destructive patterns or have recently experienced a loss... I won’t be able to “fix” your situation or tell you what to do but I can give you a confidential space and support you, as you explore your feelings and circumstances. I am a strong believer in the power and magic of the counselling relationship.

About me I am an experienced Therapeutic Counsellor and Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Life can sometimes be difficult. Everyone experiences times in their lives when they need a little extra support. I understand how daunting it can be to even think about talking to a stranger, so I can offer an empathic, confidential space if you have an issue you are finding hard to deal with on your own. I recommend an introductory session in which we can discuss whatever is troubling you and see if you would feel comfortable talking to me. If so, we can work together to find a way to deal with it.

Hello Change Seekers, I'm Tina & I've been working with people therapeutically since 1995; both as a psychotherapist and as a clinical supervisior. Following my early qualifications, I continued on with academic studies because I came to realise that the nature of the therapeutic relationship was crucial. Within that Real and Authentic relationship we can hold space for so many difficulties and reach new insights and depths of understanding about ourselves and how to integrate that knowledge to live our best lives. Ideally you will be open to explore, integrate, share, be vulnerable, want to develop and grow & reclaim yourself fully

When starting therapy you will be able to explore current and past relationships, experiences and feelings, in a safe and containing environment. Therapy is an opportunity to speak about painful experiences and feelings, to make sense of them and be able to look at them in a different light. The unconscious material, memories and traumas, will be able to emerge in a setting where they can be processed safely. The first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy and to establish goals for our sessions. Therapy can be challenging and difficult at times, but I will be there to support you all the way through it.

Are you coping well with your life? … Just about managing? … Feeling overwhelmed / struggling? Do you notice that you keep repeating the same patterns and don't know how to change? Stress, anxiety and depression can all affect your quality of life and counselling can help identify negative thoughts and behaviours and empower you to make small changes to break those patterns. Maybe you have major life changes - bereavement, redundancy, retirement, being a carer? Wherever you are on your personal journey counselling provides a non-judgemental, confidential space to support you and help you explore your thoughts and feelings.

We all go through life experiencing good and bad moments, but sometimes the bad experiences can become too overwhelming to manage them on our own. Sometimes they may be a result of sudden changes which life throws at us unexpectedly leaving us vulnerable and lost in a new reality and sometimes it may be that we want to change something in our lives, but don’t really know how, which leaves us feeling stuck and helpless. If this sounds familiar to how you feel why not try counselling? Talking to someone you can trust who can listen without any judgement can be very helpful especially in these challenging times.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, maybe you can hire...me? I'm Rich, a counsellor based in the Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole area, working face to face, online and outdoors, with expertise in men's mental health issues.
