Elders (65+) Counselling in Aston Clinton

Life can at times seem overwhelming and if that's true for you then meeting with a caring, supportive counsellor can really help. Maybe you've experienced a loss or there's a trauma from your past which is still disturbing you. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, lack of confidence or you just want space to work through your feelings and why you behave in the way you do. You could be someone who doesn’t want to talk in depth about a past event, if so, you could benefit from EMDR therapy where traumatic memories are processed through guided eye movements. Whatever the issue is I am a good listener and want to help if I can.

I offer two types of therapy; talking therapy and EMDR. I work using a mainly psychodynamic approach. An approach to therapy which means that we will explore what lies beneath your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We will think together about your current and past experiences, and how they may have shaped your beliefs and relationships today. My approach is warm and professional. I believe that talking helps and that therapy opens a door to new understanding and possibilities.

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor working in Bristol and Aylesbury I know how hard it is to take those steps when looking for a counsellor, trying to decide which counsellor sounds like they will be right for you while not feeling judged or that your concerns are not worthy of talking about. Through working together I can offer you a safe, confident space to explore your thoughts and feelings and talk through any issues you feel you need some help with. I believe it is important to feel listened to so you feel you are being heard. I can offer you this while relating to you on a human level with warmth and empathy.

Hello and welcome. I'm a qualified counsellor that is passionate about mental health and well-being and I'm committed to making a difference to my clients' lives. Suffering from emotional or psychological difficulties can feel overwhelming and is often debilitating. Life can be complicated and cruel and we can often feel hopeless, confused and out of control. There are times when life can just become too much and the smallest things can get to you. I understand the prospect of counselling can seem daunting, however talking to a counsellor is the first step towards change. You don't have to struggle alone.

I have experience working with individuals experiencing various difficulties such as depression, anxiety disorders (social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD), panic, phobias, trauma symptoms, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship/communication breakdowns, stress or a feeling of disconnect from yourself and others. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore difficult emotions or conflicts you may wish to address. I work using a variety of methods whereby I can support by offering alternative coping strategies and techniques in line with CBT or offer reflection to help you increase your awareness of your needs.

Are you depressed or feel deep sadness? Do you suffer with anxiety, lay awake worrying, feeling hopeless and stuck? Or are you woken by nightmares and flashbacks of past experiences? Perhaps you are holding huge resentment and anger which is all to consuming. Alongside you, I can help you explore and understand whatever is taking over your life and worrying you. Counselling will help you feel and function better, make a difference to your self esteem and confidence, in your everyday life with friends and family as well as in your workplace.

My style of counselling is person-centred and I am a registered member of the BACP. As well as working in my own private practice, I volunteer at my local hospice providing bereavement support and provide counselling to support offenders within the prison service. I am also a counselling tutor at my local college. I offer support with issues including anxiety and low mood as well as providing specialised and specific support for major life experiences such as infertility, relationship breakdown, bereavement, redundancy, changes in life direction, couples counselling, family therapy, becoming a new parent, becoming a step-parent.

Hello I'm Nicola, a qualified counsellor working with both adults and teenagers from all walks of life. My integrative training allows me to tailor my therapeutic approach to suit your needs at the time of contacting me, whether that be to listen to your story and sit with you in your pain or work with you to make positive changes to your life... or something in between. I can offer you a safe and confidential space for you to be heard without judgement or expectation. Your presenting issues might be anxiety, depression, a relationship breakdown, a bereavement, low self-esteem, difficulty coping with change and uncertainty or more.

Hello, I am sure this feels like a daunting prospect finding a counsellor that you can share those feelings that have been troubling you and getting in the way of the life you want to lead. I believe the connection between counsellor and client is at the heart of the process. I can offer a safe space where you can explore difficult, complicated or confusing emotions in a warm, confidential, empathic environment. We can work together to gain a greater understanding of those feelings and move forward towards lasting and positive change for your future.

Do you want to feel happier? Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, feeling sad or low self esteem? Maybe you feel stuck and have lost yourself? Sometimes there is a specific reason and we know what is making us feel that way, other times it appears there is no reason at all. Counselling can help unpick whats going on, identify those thoughts and for it to feel less overwhelming in a safe and non judgmental way.

Do you feel stuck in a difficult relationship? Are childhood experiences affecting your adult life? I understand how it can feel impossible to see a better future. Together we can work towards healing and recovery from abuse/trauma/ PTSD/complexPTSD so you can start to live life fully again. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where we can work at your pace. I too have experienced abuse and so I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. My experience of therapy changed my life and as a result I retrained to become a counsellor.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, low self-esteem, negative thought patterns, trauma, PTSD and everyday life problems. I am an Integrative Therapist which means I use my knowledge and experience of different counselling theories to offer a tailored and holistic approach to your needs. Everyone is unique and experiences life, and its struggles in different ways, therefore it's important to be able to offer different elements of counselling theories to give you the best support to meet your needs.

I believe we all experience occasions in our life where the difficulties and challenges we face feel like too much. At such times it can be helpful to share your feelings and thoughts with others. Whether you're dealing with stress, sadness, grief, relationship issues or seeking personal growth, I'm here to listen.

We enjoy working with all things diversity from neurodiversity to cultural diversity. We work with organisations to ensure psychological safety but we also dedicate work to coach individuals to maximise their neurodiverse strengths for high performance in the workplace. We have developed a programme to treat racial trauma and a programme to help allies to support their colleagues, friends, family and peers. If you are worried about your mood, your relationships or your performance at work and you are neurodiverse or culturally diverse, we can help you....no we can work together.
