Counselling in BH18

I work with adult men and women of all ages anywhere in the UK offering online video and telephone counselling. Quite a lot of us, at some stage in our lives, have been in a situation where we have nobody around us we can talk to. Even though you may have family and friends who care about you, you can still feel alone and isolated or feel that you do not want to ‘bother’ or ‘burden’ them with your feelings.

Hi I'm Julie and I offer adults and young people (13+) the opportunity to discuss their anxieties with someone who cares and respects their feelings. I can offer you a confidential, calm and accepting space in which to explore what is troubling you. I will support and work with you - enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of current circumstances or past experiences, which feel unresolved and impact emotionally and physically on your day-to-day life. My hope is that you will feel listened to and understood, empowering you to make healthy changes in your life and enabling you to move forward and thrive.

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I use a flexible, interactive approach that can be adapted to individual needs. I believe we are all unique individuals and as such different therapeutic approaches or techniques may be helpful.

I am Dr Elena Chtereva, a Chartered Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Division of Counselling Psychology of the British Psychological Society. My work is informed by evidence-based practice and research, and I participate in regular supervision to keep up to date with new developments. I adopt an integrative and flexible approach in my clinical practice, considering clients’ specific needs and therapy goals. During my training and post-qualifying, I received extensive training in applying Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Approach, CBT, CFT, EFT, and EMDR more recently.

Hello and welcome, my name is Lynda I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and CBT therapist. I am a calm, warm and understanding person. I work in private practice from safe and comfortable rooms in Verwood and Broadstone. During my years of working as a counsellor I have helped many adults and young people aged 16 and over work through emotional and life issues to assist them with making positive changes. Do you suffer from Anxiety or Depression? Do you have low self esteem? Are you experiencing relationship difficulties? Have you had a Bereavement you are struggling with? Because if so, I can help.

Are you struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues or just feeling overwhelmed? Or do you feel stuck in a rut and that life is passing you by or finding it difficult to see a hopeful future? I can help you to move forward and get the most out of life. I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor. I provide a friendly, safe and confidential space, where you will not be judged, allowing you the freedom to talk freely and make sense of whatever is troubling you.

I am very passionate about my work and what I love most is seeing my clients progress. Observing their changes and seeing how good they feel within themselves is a wonderful journey to share. I offer support with all kinds of issues. You may be suffering with an anxiety disorder, depression perhaps, an issue within a relationship, an addiction or something else. Whatever your issue is, my aim is to spend time getting to know you, finding the root cause to your problem and any other factors that may have to be taken into consideration. Then, together we can work towards a solid plan for you to more you forward as an individual.

I have over 9 years of experience in face-to-face client work, and I have specialist training in working with sexual trauma, historical sexual abuse and adverse childhood experiences. I also support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship and attachment issues, and self-harming behaviours. Alongside my private client work, I am an affiliate counsellor for numerous Employee Assistance Programmes offering solution focused time limited work, and provide support for unpaid carers via The Leonardo Trust.

It may be that you are experiencing deep feelings of sadness, hopelessness with no motivation for the future. You may be increasingly stressed and anxious, feeling that you are isolated and separate from all that is happening around you. You may be struggling with irritability and anger, finding yourself being overly defensive or being hurtful towards others. I can help with all of these experiences, helping you to identify the causes and support you in overcoming them. Counselling can make a real difference to your life.

I am a relational integrative therapist. This means that you and I work in partnership to navigate a way to support you to face whichever challenges you would like to overcome. Sometimes this can be achieved through short-term work (up to 12 weeks) and sometimes a contract for much longer work will be what you need. The development of relationship between me (the therapist), and you (the client) is the driving force of how I work. Through the development of a trusted alliance we can begin to explore any vulnerabilities you bring safely in order to make sense of them together.

I am a qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor and Family/Systemic Practitioner and I have been qualified for over twenty years. I offer a talking therapy and/or creative therapy to children, adults and young people. My approach to counselling is ‘Client-Centred’ having been trained in a number of modalities; Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Existential, CBT and as a Family Systemic Practitioner. I believe it is firstly the relationship between counsellor and client(s) which provides the foundation to explore, understand, challenge and change patterns of behaviour which are causing relationship difficulties and personal distress.

I am a Dr of Clinical Psychology and EMDR therapist with over twenty years qualified experience working in the NHS. I can offer tailored assessment and formulation to understand your difficulty and consider what type of support will help you. I am particularly passionate about offering therapeutic support to adults and adolescents experiencing distress from trauma and stress. If you have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or you are feeling stuck re-experiencing your difficult experiences, struggling with sleep or struggling with anxiety/low mood/ irritability following trauma then I can offer help with these difficulties.

As a psychotherapist, I prioritise getting to know the whole person and deeply value the unique relationship that grows within the therapeutic relationship. I have a special interest in compassion focused therapy and have extensive experience in working with families who have experienced separation, divorce, domestic abuse, anxiety related to exam stress or career changes. My practice lends to a combination of trauma informed models, CBT, mindfulness and relaxation techniques which are tailored to the client’s specific needs. I have extensive training in the treatment of sexual abuse, domestic abuse and teenage anxiety.

Known as Jane Peacock, my trauma informed practice is rooted in the person centred approach, it is non-pathologising and non-judgemental with a belief that it is not what is wrong with a person, it is about what has happened to a person. The sense of connection from human to human is fundamental to all our needs and I endeavour to provide a therapeutic relationship in this space with you, where you are able to feel therapeutically held, heard and validated. Such a relationship would provide a space of compassionate acceptance and allow us to explore those feelings in you which are so hard to access or experience in everyday life.

It can be a great relief to be able to share your worries and stress with someone. We all struggle at times and as much as we would like to talk to our friends or family we feel unable to let them in. Sometimes we feel stuck, alone and not able to find the solution to the problem that's making us unhappy. Being able to talk openly with someone who can support you, without judgement, as you explore your feelings and the circumstances that are causing you stress can make a big difference. You will start to feel in control, see things more clearly and feel more confident to make the changes you want to in your life.
