Bisexual Counselling in Plymouth

Clients access therapy for a multitude of reasons; there may be difficulties at work, challenges in a relationship or a client may have been abused spanning a number of years. My hope with therapy is to explore the roots of issues, to rediscover our innate resilience, to build self-esteem and to help you meet your goals, your hopes, your wishes. Many people access therapy because they want to feel different, to change the emotions they are experiencing, or for others it may be learning to access those feelings that have perhaps been locked away through trauma.

Hello :) I’m a neurodiverse, queer counsellor offering down to earth support to people feeling lost, alone, powerless, and unsure how to cope. Working together effectively cuts through the noise of everyday life, allowing you to hear yourself and your needs more clearly. My approach is integrative, drawing predominantly from person centred counselling (we are equal), Gestalt (working towards wholeness) and existential counselling (what is this life all about?). By creating and offering a curious and hopeful space, I hope to help you to listen and respond to your emotions with love, understanding and empowerment.

I have worked primarily with clients who have experienced or are experiencing some kind of domestic abuse. As people of all ages and genders can encounter this I have worked with a broad range of clients with other issues as well, plus clients with ASD and ADHD, and clients looking for a body-positive, health-at-every-size counsellor.

People generally look for a counsellor because they feel stuck or unable to move forward from unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. You could struggle to connect with others and maintain healthy relationships. You may also feel like you can’t keep up with the people around you; as though everyone is doing better than you are. Self-acceptance and self-worth may be a problem, especially if you are suffering from anxiety and depression. Do you want to move forward and build yourself a sustainable future?

We are all unique and walk our own paths through the beauty and difficulties of life. We all see and experience things through a unique lens and all emotions within that are important and valid. I welcome all emotions and will hold space for you to explore them safely. It is brave to look inwards and I feel passionately about providing a safe, empathetic space for you to do so.

Hello and welcome, I am qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and registered member of the BACP as well as being an Accredited Member of the NCS. I am also a hypnotherapist, life coach and offer meditation and mindfulness as a part of my work. I am currently undertaking a MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy and work with clients with sexual dysfunction and issues. Currently I offer these sessions at a reduced rate whilst I am completing my MSc. In addition I am undertaking a CPCAB approved Level 5 in Sex Addiction or complusive sexual behaviours, focusing on sex, porn and love addition.

At times we can find ourselves stuck in our own emotions, with thoughts that go around and around, and in patterns that we know are unhelpful. We might have been told that we’re ‘too sensitive’ and learned how to keep parts of us to ourselves. Similarly, specialising in working with women impacted by sexual violence, I understand the difficulty in allowing some parts to the surface. What feels familiar can also be exhausting, but change is uncomfortable and often scary. We need the support of someone who can help us untangle the stories of our lives and move forward with compassion and vitality.

Clients come to me for help with a range of issues including improving their relationships, navigating or creating change and gaining confidence in themselves. Maybe difficult experiences from your past have become obstacles to you being who you want to be now. Perhaps you're feeling stuck and want help getting unstuck. I can offer you a safe, accepting space in which to explore and grow. I have particular experience with ADHD, gender diversity and consensual nonmonogamy (e.g. polyamory, swingers, ENM) and I am sex and kink-positive. My approach is affirming whether or not these factors relate directly to our work together.

What do you need to get your life on track, to feel fulfilled, relevant, in control and in the drivers seat? Sometimes we just need a bit of support to get there, an outside eye, a gentle challenge. We always need, and deserve to be treated with sensitivity, respect and dignity. Life is full of challenges, but you don't need to face them alone. Letting someone in can be scary, but you really do deserve to be supported, and you have every right to live a fulfilling, rich and creative life.

With over ten years experience, I work with people to navigate a wide range of life issues, developing long lasting coping mechanisms for overcoming challenging times. I specialise in relationship issues, family conflict, domestic abuse, child sexual abuse and adult sexual abuse. I incorporate mindfulness, guided meditation, and inner child work to support the exploration, understanding and release of deep-rooted emotions and patterns. My practice is socially conscious, and I am experienced working within diversity.

Are you so focused on worrying about what could happen that you're not making anything happen? Is this stopping you from achieving your goals? This negative cycle is exhausting and can leave you feeling trapped and alone. The good news is that the ability to change is in your hands; imagine waking up every day and not feeling like this. I've helped lots of people suffering from anxiety take control and live the life they want to live. Let me help you to live yours. If you'd like to find out more I offer a free phone or Zoom consultation.

Website www.brainmindpsychotherapy.com I specialise in working with clients with PTSD and trauma based symptoms. I also work with OCD and other mental health problem, through the use of CBT & EMDR. CBT works by the theory that we can manage and modulate our emotions through evaluating/changing our cognitions & behaviours accordingly. EMDR utilises bilateral stimulation (eye movements) to aid the reprocessing of symptoms of Trauma and PTSD, focusing on trauma memories whilst integrating and updating these with Adaptive Information Processing, aiding resolution of symptoms in the present
