Counselling in BT20

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Louise, I am an integrative counsellor based in Bangor, North Down. Together, we can work through the challenges you may be facing at a pace that suits you. The sessions are client led, with you as the most important person in the room. I create an environment that will provide the foundation to support you in becoming the best version of your self. I offer 1 to 1 sessions both in person and online, from age 16 and above. I offer clients sessions online, face to face or on the telephone.

Are you consumed by thoughts about food and weight? Maybe the more you control your eating, the more you binge? Maybe you overeat in secret or alone and feel guilty about it? Perhaps you feel like you've tried every diet? Maybe you've tried weight loss injections or considered bariatric surgery?. Maybe it feels like your on a path of self-sabotage? I understand how you feel. I struggled with disordered eating for years and at the time didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. I work with women to help them overcome their unhealthy relationships with food by addressing the root causes of emotional eating and binge eating.

I work with couples, individuals, older people & young people. You will experience a safe & secure environment in which to explore the areas of your life that are important to you. Irrespective of what has happened to you or when life experiences impacted you I invite you to take time with me to gain a deeper understanding of the events that have taken place & of the relationships that may cause challenges. You may have very clear goals, hopes & expectations in mind & together we will work to find ways of realising them. Or you may not yet know what you hope for & that's fine too - together we will work it out.

Hello my name is Victoria, thank you for connecting with me. I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor based in North Down. My priority is to help you explore and understand whatever is on your mind, within a safe space. I work collaboratively with you, in a client led way. Together, we will explore the past, understand how it impacts the present, in order to achieve your goals for the future.

No matter how robust we are, most of us at one time or another can face difficult times due to family, work or other personal issues. Sharing the impact of these distressing times can help with finding the resources to ease distress and consider which best next steps to take.

I have a particular Interest in anxiety and in trauma work and am trained in EMDR and Trauma- focussed CBT which are the two current gold standard NICE recommended evidence based treatments in this area.

Sometimes, when we’re experiencing difficulties or problems, it’s not easy to acknowledge that we need help. Making the first contact with a counsellor might feel a little daunting, but it can be an important first step. My focus is to create a safe place for you to explore whatever it is that’s on your mind. I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgmental environment to ensure that our working relationship can grow and develop so that we can work together on the difficulties you face, helping you to work towards personal growth.

Hi, my name is David, welcome to my profile. This may be your first time choosing a counsellor, or you may have experienced counselling in the past and wish to engage again. You might be feeling apprehensive and nervous, and have many questions going through your mind such as, what will it be like? Will I be able to talk? What will the counsellor be like? Will I like them? Will they like me? Making a decision on a photo and a piece of text can be difficult. Everyone can feel this way, it is a big step to make, but a positive one.

Through a container of sand we are transported to a world with endless possibilities, a world in which our deepest inner story can be welcomed into the light. Often children and young people find it difficult to express their innermost feelings verbally. In SandStory Therapy, the sand and symbols are the voice of the young person, giving them a safe space to express their feelings. With the help of a supportive therapist sand trays are explored and feelings are processed in a way that is deeply nurturing and healing.

The disabling experiences of ADHD are very real. Living with this distinctive brain can be a real challenge in a world that doesn't suit us very well.

I can help you understand your strengths, to become your own best guide in your own life. If you'd like to arrange a coaching session with me, contact me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
