Hoarding Counselling in Bath

If you are like most people, you are probably considering therapy because you want to change something. This might be the way you feel or behave; it might be how you believe other people see you, or how you see yourself. It might be things you think about or dwell upon, or the way you get on (or don’t) with others. Whatever it is, individual therapy provides a space to talk about what it is you want to change and to learn how to bring that change about. A space that is safe, confidential and non-judgemental. As your therapist I see myself as someone who can support you on all aspects of your life journey.

Are you having relationships issues or family issues? Are you struggling with anxiety, or are you feeling depressed at times? Have you had a life transition such as redundancy, illness or bereavement, or been affected by an affair or betrayal? It may be that life is getting on top of you, and it may feel that there is no one to turn to help sort things out.

I can work with you around family issues, teen problems, child behaviour, ASC issues, illness and disability. I will support, collaborate and try to make sense of what is going on. All things eventually pass - I will offer to weather the storm with you. I won’t be judging you or not taking you seriously. We will work together - and it will be work - but we will also aim to have fun and be creative in our work.

I have practised as a Chartered Clinical Psychologist since 2002 in different clinical NHS settings (GP surgeries and hospitals), private healthcare (outpatient clinics and residential placements) and universities (therapist on randomised controlled trials). I have a wealth of knowledge, experience and specialist skills in psychological assessment, formulation, treatment and consultation. I am an accredited Cognitive-Behavioural Therapist (CBT). I am also experienced in using evidence-based techniques from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Family Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic approaches.

Wondering what to do, unsure what or who can help. And how? Whatever is troubling you, whatever is getting you down you don't have to struggle alone. Talking to someone outside your circle of family, friends or even colleagues at work can be the start of a new path. A path where you can discover how you got to this place in your life. And perhaps more importantly what it is you are seeking.

Hi, my name is Sanna and I am qualified integrative counsellor and member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Have you experienced trauma and finding it difficult to move on with your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, anxious, scared, struggling with a sense of loss in your life or uncertain which direction to take. I offer warm, non-judgemental and confidential safe space where together we can explore what is worrying you at your pace. I can support individuals coping with significant life changing events such as serious illness, redundancy, divorce or bereavement, or any transition that feels challenging.

Whether you have recently experienced a crisis in life, or have a more enduring sense of something feeling wrong, I offer a compassionate space for you to explore whatever issue brings you to therapy. Beginning to talk about yourself and what you are dealing with may feel new or even unnerving, so I am always mindful to work with you at your own pace. In the process of therapy many different issues may come up for you, and the space provided by therapy allows us to work through these issues together. I also offer outdoor sessions, please let me know if this would be of interest to you.

I am a qualified counsellor and teacher, I have studied Counselling and Substance Misuse at FdSc level and have a Diploma in Social Work, as well as having a wide range of work and life experience. My down to earth nature empowers me to be accessible, approachable and non-judgmental which is an essential part of a successful working therapeutic relationship. Aiding people to work through their own life challenges is my absolute passion and driving force behind Brighter Pathways Counselling.

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2004 and have worked in NHS adult psychological therapies services since that time. I have worked as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Lead Clinician for an NHS service in West London before re-locating to the South-West and working in private practice.

I am an autistic/ADHD Psychotherapist. Here to listen to your experiences and support you. Are you experiencing burnouts, sensory difficulties, shutdowns or meltdowns? Have you thought you might be different but don't know why? I work with clients who think they may be Neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and Tourettes) or know that they are. Diagnosed and self diagnosed perfectly fine. Adults only. I offer a safe space for you to share your story and talk to someone with lived experience. Please get in touch. I look forward to having a FREE 20 minute consult on the phone first.

I have experience in many different client issues, to name some- self harm, relationship difficulties, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, neuro diversity, relationship difficulties, bereavement, miscarriage, infertility, addiction and trauma. I have a strong grounding in eating disorders, LGBTQ issues and sexual abuse. You may use the space how you wish to and I will be alongside you, supporting you along the way to find your own answers and come to your own solutions, conclusions and understandings. I wouldn't offer you advice but would facilitate what you would like to work on and what you wish to explore.

I specialise with the LGBT+ community, including their family and friends. I can offer a non-judgemental, gentle, accepting confidential space for you to share your issues and concerns, knowing you will not be rejected or discriminated against. I have lived experience of transgender identities, as my son is transgender. I have witnessed the high mental health conditions, suicidal ideation, including self-harm, and loss faced by LGBT+ individuals that I have counselled, along with the hurdles my son has encountered during his transition. I would like to walk with you along your pathway, and consider myself privileged to do so.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it can be a struggle to cope with life’s challenges…you’re not alone. I am Lindsay, a psychotherapeutic counsellor, working in Bristol, Bath and online. You may have experienced a traumatic event or experienced many years of trauma and struggling to understand your emotions. You maybe trying to manage anxiety, depression or addiction. I will listen and you will feel heard. I am a warm, down to earth and empathic counsellor, offering a safe space for you to explore whatever it is that is causing you distress. I will work with you to explore you’re feelings, heal and move forward.

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 a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.

I provide counselling from my private practice at my home in Melksham, Wiltshire. This is a private room providing a safe and confidential space for our work together. I can offer various daytime and evening appointments throughout the week. My training helps me to provide you with a reliable, regular, non-judgmental space where you can begin to talk about whatever is on your mind. I work in what is called an integrative way, using a wide range of therapeutic models, but primarily focusing on humanistic counselling.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 19 years’ experience in the NHS in secondary care adult mental health services in Wiltshire. I am experienced in providing psychological therapy to individuals, couples and families presenting with a wide range of distressing feelings, including mood problems and the impact of childhood trauma. I have a particular interest in anxiety disorder, perinatal difficulties, relationship difficulties and the impact of trauma and feelings of shame. I have professional registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the regulatory body for Practitioner Psychologists.
