Counselling in CT6

Hi my name is Dawn. I have been a Counselling Professional since 2005 but more importantly a human being. I have a lived experience of depression and life and how we build building blocks, one upon the other, carrying all these blocks within us. I have a depth of experience both professionally and personally especially with mental health issues with children and adults. I am also an empath and often see links between empaths and depression. I am very creative and grounded. I feel truly listening is important.

Hello and welcome to my profile! Let me first answer a question which most people ask, which is about how to pronounce my name, I’m Keila - think Sheila with a K. I am a qualified and experienced ‘integrative’ therapist and clinical supervisor. The ‘integrative’ bit means that that I am trained in, and can draw on, a range of skills aiming to find the way of working which suits you best. Therapy with me is a collaborative experience where we work together to look at the source of the problem and find ways of enabling you to move forward in an authentic way. Sessions can be on a short or long term basis.

Hello my names Vivienne I am passionate in helping individuals to feel heard and understood. I want to my client to be able to open up and feel safe to explore thoughts and feelings that have been painful to visit . I want my clients to be able to express themselves in ways they may not be able to outside of the counselling environment, I want clients to leave feeling empowered to come back and unpack the things that have been holding them back in life to make decisions that benefit them and not to please others . Ultimately I want my clients to feel empowered and comfortable to be themselves in a society that demands conformity.

Do you feel you are merely surviving rather than thriving? Life can be challenging and whatever you are struggling with, you do not need to manage it alone. Hi, my name is Laura and I can help you with many issues which may affect your life in a negative way such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, bereavement, self-harm, trauma, sexual abuse and/or suicidal ideation. I can help you to understand and manage your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences so that you can improve your own well-being and your life.

For 20 years I have trained in and practiced several effective self development and psychotherapeutic approaches, all of which support healing and change. I have worked within the NHS with adults with high levels of mental and emotional difficulties as well as more recently with families, children and adolescents with low to moderate difficulties in anxiety, low mood and behaviour difficulties. My work ranges from a long term psychodynamic approach to short term trauma based EMDR. Both will increase your awareness of how past experience can create unhelpful patterns in our present. Both can transform in a gentle and safe way.

You may be struggling with unwanted thoughts, emotions and behaviours which are just not working for you. I offer you a non-judgemental space to talk through your issues to make sense of them so you can move forward.

With 20 years experience as a Counsellor & 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist within various NHS, Education and Community-based services, I've since specialised in EMDR therapy and am now an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK & Ireland. Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can effectively treat a broad range of issues, often in a relatively short-term time-frame. EMDR helps process intense emotions, self-limiting beliefs & behavioural patterns in the present which seem stuck on repeat, as they often track back to distressing or overwhelming relational-issues or life events in the past.

How long have you felt anxious? Or sad? Or like your feelings do not matter? Or misunderstood? Often my clients have been feeling anxious, low, unhappy, fearful or out of control for a long time, until they discover that they hold the power to change their lives through therapeutic support. Therapy is an opportunity for you to be heard and really listened to. Some people are going through a time of low mood or life issues when they search for help, and others just feel they need space for them to work through their feelings and emotions. Feeling heard and supported may help you to feel happier and more in control of your life.

If you've got problems, I can help.. As a therapist I am happiest when I am genuinely able to make a difference to someone and help them feel better. I have had a great deal of experience of working with many different people, each one of them with their own unique story, and their own way of seeing the world, each one of them also with the problems that sometimes arise for all of us as human beings trying to live the best we can. Maybe you feel anxious and don't know why? Perhaps you've had things happen that are still affecting you?

I am a psychologist with over 10 years’ experience working within NHS and Social Care settings having worked in both the NHS and Private Practice. I am experienced in providing a safe and supportive environment for people experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety and low mood. Traumatic experiences, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement are key triggers that can bring people to treatment and I work extensively with people around these areas. I offer short and longer term therapy for individuals and couples. I have NHS experience working with children and families and can offer therapy and family consultation

I am Ann McCarthy and I am a UKCP registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I am also a member of CPJA (Council for Psychoanalytic and Jungian Analysts). I provide Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period. Our work together will focus on identifying, better understanding and working through the issues that are impacting negatively on your life so you are able to develop positive changes within yourself and in your ways of relating with others.

Too many people still think they need to "suffer in silence". There's a strongly-held belief, especially among men, that it's not OK to talk about emotions, about problems in relationships, or about those moments when we feel overwhelmed. I've worked with many clients who come to counselling as a last resort, not really believing it can help them. But thousands of people out there have found that talking does make a difference. If you've been wondering whether it could make a difference for you, contact me for an introductory appointment, to see whether counselling is right for you.

I have worked with a range of ages and diverse backgrounds and my work outside of private practice is currently trauma focused.

Great, you have already taken the first steps for you. I am not the expert on you, you are. I am here to support and explore with you what you maybe finding difficult or just not feeling Ok. This may be in your relationships, in your physical body or you are finding both these things are overwhelming sometimes. Together we can wonder, ponder and educate ourselves and understand, why? Then we can make a strategy and build on your already available resilience (you are here remember), and improve this together. This maybe just a few sessions, sometimes just one or a little longer if you need this.
