Elders (65+) Counselling in Emersons Green

In life, we all experience loss and major changes; we face difficult choices and overwhelming feelings. As a counsellor I know support and self-understanding are key in moving forward positively, but as a human I know this is easier said than done. Finding the right therapist and the consequent process is deeply personal and should be rooted in trust, empathy and an accepting environment. With experience in trauma, addiction and mental health, my focus is you, and the respect and understanding of your unique story and context. Whatever is going on, together we can explore your past, make sense of the present and plan for the future.

There can come a time in anybody’s life when they feel that some support is required. Sometimes it feels difficult to know who to turn to. Do you feel challenged by life? Are you feeling bewildered about where your current path is taking you? Are you suffering following the loss of a relationship, be it through bereavement or relationship breakdown. Maybe you are struggling at work, home or university? Is life too confusing? Do you want to realise the power of your potential? I am here to offer support while you are working through life’s challenges - support which is confidential, open-minded, non-judgemental and consistent.

Change is hard. Whether you are an individual or a couple, I offer a warm, empathic and creative counselling relationship where we can work on the the process of understanding, acceptance and change. Together, we will illuminate your inner world, understand repeating patterns, and find new ways to relate to yourself and others. The relationship we develop will support you to explore and understand difficult issues; increase self awareness; and improve connection. Alongside acceptance, compassion and authenticity, I'll bring humour and curiosity to our work.

Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Kizzy and I am an integrative Counsellor, which means I have been trained in Person-Centred, Psychotherapy, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, CBT and Existential therapies. I draw upon these theories to suit each individual and their needs when coming to sessions. You are the master of your life and I am here to help you along your way. I have been working as a qualified counsellor for the last 6 years with people of varying ages, I have a background in supporting with learning difficulties in schools and universities which guided me into a more adaptive approach.

Humanistically recognising the needs of an individual ,we see how trauma can be held at a very deep level. Working from the story of an individuals early negative & positive childhood experiences and using Integrative therapy in a number of ways to help the process of getting to one's core beliefs, helps to create a safe space for them to explore and release old patterns. This happens by building a trust with the client to allow their vulnerability to come through. Then, looking at the blocks or defences, via counselling and body Psychotherapy, a unique holistic approach to wellbeing, allows the journey back to health.

I am an on-line counsellor. I see people who tell me that it works well for them. You are welcome to bring a wide variety of life stories and events into our time together . I hear and work with adults who have difficult childhood experiences, complex issues, traumas, and behaviours which cause them distress. I have worked with addictions, eating disorders and OCD. I work with couples and relationships. It is a supportive space which helps to clarify the problems and reduces the anxiety and depression. . I work via a Cliniko video system for medical and counselling services, Whatsapp video, Skype, telephone and via text or e-mails

I am currently offering in person, online video and telephone counselling by appointment. If you are currently looking for a counsellor it may well be that you have reached a point of change. You can no longer put up with the current situation you feel you are in. You may be suffering anxious feelings or low mood, or be struggling with anger and frustration, or any number of other concerns. These are feelings that we all experience from time to time, but they can be limiting and have an effect on our general happiness and satisfaction with life.

Welcome. I believe that every person is unique, and I help you face your challenges in the way that is right for you. I invite you to meet me for a FREE first session, explore your goals and talk about expectations.

I’m a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy to adults in Bristol and online. I believe that whatever the problems are you are facing, it is possible to make sense of them; to understand why they came to exist, and what has kept them in place or perhaps 'stuck' so far. From this place of greater understanding; healing, personal growth, and new ideas can emerge. I am trained to Doctoral Degree level in several evidence-based psychological therapies, all of which aim to support and empower people to overcome a wide-range of difficulties, and bring about meaningful and lasting changes to their lives.

Where are you headed? Do you need to make some changes in your life? Within yourself? What do you want out of life? I offer confidential online talking therapy to people with a wide range of psychological issues and 'living' problems. People come to therapy to get help with many different issues. These may include different forms of anxiety and/or depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship issues, abuse, anger, panic, guilt and shame, trauma, phobias, post-traumatic stress, OCD, impact of illness, mental health issues and more... - or they come for much-needed personal exploration and understanding.

Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.

I specialise in working with trauma and the impacts of trauma. Whether you have a diagnosis of (c)PTSD or you're working through traumatic memories, I can help you rebuild your life and reclaim your identity. The impacts of trauma can vary widely and you may experience difficulties with anxiety/depression, relationships, at work, in friendships, in your health, your quality of sleep, and general day-to-day life. You're not alone and we can work through this together. Visit my website to find out more: www.therapy-with-jessica.com. I offer sessions online or from the idyllic Sycamore House in Kingswood, Bristol.

Has your drink or drug use started to get on top of you? Are you experiencing difficulties in relationships with those around you? Have you turned to self-destructive patterns of behaviour in an attempt to cope with low mood, difficult experiences or traumatic events? If this sounds like you then my years of experience as a Counsellor in the fields of substance misuse and in healing trauma may help to heal your fragmented parts and build your own motivation to make the behavioural changes you desire.
