Counselling in Louth

As a psychotherapist and counsellor, I work with people who want to overcome depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, and other types of emotional pain. I am here to help you explore and process your experiences so you can get unstuck, find relief from your painful emotions, and live a happier, more satisfying life. I have experience working with various types of emotional distress and my clients usually find relief after just a few sessions. I have an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy from Manchester Metropolitan University, a BSc in Psychology, and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

I have many years of experience in providing Psychotherapy support and Life Coaching and I offer a wide range of caring, confidential and professional therapies, all of which are implemented with a non-judgmental approach. I am passionate about my work. I believe that Mental Issues can be debilitating and destructive. In many ways mental health issues are more serious than physical illness. My own experience in life has forged me into the person I am today and guided me into this career.

Hi my name is Hannah. My previous background was in business management, having worked in media and television projects in London in my early career. personal experience led me to want to support with this and change my career path I found that counselling was a natural change for me to make. I now hold a level 4 in counselling, with over six years’ experience working in bereavement. this included work with Saint Mary's Hospice and Cruise bereavement care.

My area of expertise is loss, and helping clients deal with it in all its forms, which includes bereavement, job loss, relationship breakdowns, loss of sense of self (which includes depression, anxiety, chronic illness, disability or medical / healthcare diagnosis) and all of the many other life changes that may happen outside of your control.

Each of us deserves a happy life. However, life can be difficult to navigate at times and working with a professional can help you overcome challenges more effectively. Whether you're going through a major life change or are facing a situation that interferes with your sense of security, it's important to know that you don't have to cope alone. Maybe you feel stuck in self-limiting beliefs, feel trapped in a relationship or career that no longer fulfils you or feel low without understanding why. Therapy can help you achieve a greater understanding of yourself and others, boost your resilience and improve your emotional wellbeing.

You might find yourself here because you are dealing with an issue that feels overwhelming or you might want to take some time and space to talk about something that has been bothering you for a while. Counselling offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore things. Counselling works, not by fixing people, but by supporting you through your own truths and aiding you to trust and understand yourself. It is an entirely safe space where you can truly be listened to and understood without any judgement by someone not involved in your every day life.

My counselling approach combines aspects of Person Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic Therapy. As a counsellor my job is to help you to both make sense of what is happening to you and to find a way to live with the challenges you are facing. I strongly believe that the best way to do this is to create a safe relationship where you don’t feel judged and can explore all of your feelings.

Hello, my name is Kerrie Riley. I am a registered counsellor (psychotherapists) working in Leicester, Leicestershire. I am a accredited member of the BACP (British Association For Counselling And Psychotherapy). I started my career in counselling, because I have a passion for supporting the wellbeing of others and  believe anyone can benefit from a supportive and genuine relationship. I am confident in working with a variety of age groups over 16yrs, and from different cultures or ethnicities. I pride myself in working with the LGBTQIA+ and ethnically diverse communities.

We all have times when we feel life is not the way we would like it to be. Relationships, work, big life events like serious illness, losing a loved one, redundancy or retirement; or issues and events like climate change, politics or the general state of the world - all these can get us down, and sometimes make us feel we’ve lost our way. The voice inside us that tells us there’s hope and something to look forward to can become very faint; we may hear it but not know what it’s saying; we may stop hearing it altogether. My approach to counselling starts with a belief that you can get back in touch with that voice.

Hello and welcome. It is normal to experience stages in life where it seems to make no sense, perhaps events feel overwhelming and life seems impossible to navigate. Alternatively relationships may be problematic or recurrent patterns of behaviour are negatively affecting everyday life. People find their way to therapy for many different reasons and it takes courage to make the decision. Coming from an Integrative approach means that I can draw from a range of therapeutic approaches. This enables me to engage with you in a way that will be most effective and tailored to best suit your individual needs.

Hello! - My name is Dr Michael Stephenson-Huxford, and I am a CBT, EMDR and Counselling practitioner. A question for you: have you noticed that we are born without an 'instruction manual' - telling us how to manage everything that gets thrown at us in life? The people, situations and challenges we have to endure can feel overwhelming at times; even unfair. The good news is there are solutions and answers if we just look in the right places. My job is to help you get to those places sooner; fixing matters - in a permanent way - so that you can become familiar with a richer, calmer and more fulfilled way of living.

I am a Child, adolescent & adult psychotherapist. I work with all age groups. We are all expected to make normal life changes that can be difficult for example, a school transition, change of job, relationship changes etc.  These can be quite challenging to manage. Then we have the uncertainties that are happening all around us right now with the pandemic & global change. Life is full of many uncertainties & quite often this can cause us to feel as though we are out of control leading to anxiety & stress.  I can help to manage the anxiety so that you feel back in control again enabling a much happier & fulfilled life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious or low? Life doesn't need to be this way. Do you need someone who will be able to understand your struggles and listen to what you need? I'm a fully qualified Counsellor and member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics. I had a varied career before becoming a Counsellor, working in financial services in The City, other office jobs, factory and warehouse work and have experienced redundancy. I believe this broad range of experience helps me relate to people from every walk of life and understand the pressures we often find ourselves under.

If you are reading these lines, it means you have hope and courage to change. So, well done for this, you have my absolute respect. I can support you therapeutically in many ways, but probably the best help I can give you is in relation to those areas of life where I have been through myself, as I experienced the struggles and the pain of being there. Being far from home, striving for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Studying and building a career in a university environment, with the stress and demands that sometimes can be felt as overwhelming. If this sounds well too familiar to you, I want you to know that I can support you.

Hello. I help people to recognise and understand why they do the things they do and how our life experiences impact relationships, career choices and most importantly how we feel about ourselves. Sometimes I help people grow in confidence and self esteem to change the things that aren't helping them to live the kind of life that's worth living to them and sometimes I help people reach a point of acceptance with the things they can't change. We do this by working together to create a safe, supportive, respectful therapeutic relationship.

I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with career difficulties. I work with my clients to create an open and safe space where feelings and thoughts can be shared, without fear of judgement. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a huge amount of courage.

We are told how important exercise is for our physical well-being, your mental health is no different. Mental health and physical health are interconnected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can manifest as physical symptoms. So, maintaining good mental health can positively influence physical health. Therapy changes lives and for that reason, if you are unhappy, stressed, and not sure what to do, you need to remember that life is short, and you deserve to live the life you want. Put yourself first and do what makes you happy! I will help you become your own therapist, providing you with healthy tools and support tailored for you.

I will offer you the time, privacy and support required to explore aspects of your life you may feel you need to understand better or areas in which you would like to grow. Somewhere impartial and unconnected with your everyday life and as someone with who you can share thoughts and feelings. I work in an Integrative Counselling approach which has the basic assumptions that we are naturally social beings with the ability and wish to relate externally to others and internally to ourselves. Due to the significance of relationships in this approach, the therapeutic relationship between us will be central to the process of Counselling.
