Counselling in CM11

You are brave and have identified that you need some support at this very turbulent time. When a crisis hits, a future that was once clear can become confusing and scary. Life is now very complicated and can leave us with feelings of anxiety, stress and depression. These negative feelings can make life overwhelming. Sometimes it is helpful to talk to a person not directly involved in order to gain clarity and insight.

I am a BACP registered counsellor, deeply passionate about helping people. Through my own personal life experience and mental health challenges, counselling and psychotherapy has given a life perspective I would have never imagined before. I truly believe we each have our own answers, sometimes buried deep within us. Therapy is a process to unearth them - perhaps when they are needed most.

Maybe you experience a specific issue you would like to discuss, dealing with difficulties alone and maybe finding it hard to cope or need to share something in confidence. Sometimes our life can take different direction and we feel lost. I have more than 10 years experience in mental health, trained as counselling psychologist, currently working as psychological therapist with across various issues in the areas of personal growth, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, substance use as a coping mechanism, personality disorder, trauma, suicidal ideation, bereavement, PTSD. I am a member of BACP and MBPsS

Are you feeling anxious, depressed and helpless? Putting on a brave face, I want I help you to change. I will facilitate and support you in a safe, confidential, and compassionate environment; whatever you decide to bring to counselling it will be at your pace. I aim to build a working relationship with you, enabling you to feel comfortable to explore and understand your experiences, thoughts, emotions, and how they can be connected to events in the past or the present. Through this exploration, we can work towards positive change. It may be that you're uncertain of what needs to change or where to begin and that’s okay too.

Hello my name is Stephanie, I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor. Day to day life can be hard and exhausting.

It may be something in your past that might be stopping you from moving on We can experience periods of feeling low, we may not understand why but it can happen .The therapy I offer can help discover issues and patterns in our behaviour that might be causing distress & anxiety.

After many years of my own struggles and trying to navigate the emotional turmoil of my chaotic life I made the decision to start therapy. This journey allowed me to unravel the complex emotions that kept me a prisoner in my own head for many years. Therapy set me free and allowed me to explore and understand the trauma of my childhood and the damaged inner child living inside of me as an adult. I was able to let go of my past and live a more fulfilling life. As I healed I decided to become a therapist and help people just like you. If you feel stuck and want to move forward please get in touch.

Are you struggling with high anxiety, repetitive themes and the need to relieve your anxiety with repetitive actions/thoughts? You may feel worried that you are a paedophile? You may be concerned that you will cause harm to a family member, friend or stranger? Do you spend much time ruminating about being gay/straight/transgender despite your own certainty that you are not? Perhaps you're worried that you don't love your partner, even though you know you do? All of these themes are extremely common with OCD. You are not alone. They, and many other themes, can induce a fear of losing control and concerns around being judged.

Are you looking for a younger person to work with in therapy? Or you may be a young person yourself. I am a trained counsellor and coach - a qualification gained after a degree in Psychology.

All of our lives are complex, and all of them have challenges. However, we don’t always have a space to process these challenges. We can find, together, what changes and resolutions might help.

I have listed my areas of expertise and experience as a guide for you.

It's OK to not be OK. Whatever you're going through, counselling can help. We all have a past, a present, and a future. Our past can affect our present and our present can affect our future.
