Sexual Abuse Counselling in Blaydon

Hi my name is Jackie, welcome to my page. Have you had a recent difficult experience? Maybe you would like to reflect on past experiences? Perhaps you are feeling lost, depressed, scared, anxious, confused or stuck? I understand how life experiences can leave us feeling, having had lived experience of the following issues and their impacts, childhood trauma, sexual abuse , rape, domestic violence and loss. My Personal experiences helps me to deeply empathise with you and understand how you may be feeling. I understand how difficult it is to reach out for help and to trust.

Life is a series of changes, often bringing loss and pain but also the seeds of a positive transformation. Even if you're unsure how to move forward, a theme can emerge. Counselling can facilitate a new understanding of ourselves, our different relationships, our place in the world. By reassessing hopes and fears, we can work towards the difference we want to experience. Alongside general counselling, I have specialist experience in post-natal depression and traumatic emotional and sexual abuse . My approach, however, is to treat every person without presumptions, trusting the space that opens up and finding the best way for you.

I understand that everyone can go through difficult times and we all can benefit from support in handling these challenges. I can help by offering you a relaxed, safe and confidential therapeutic space to explore issues troubling you in a caring, accepting and non-judgemental way. People I have worked with tell me their therapeutic experience with me has increased their confidence, self-awareness, personal growth and they have gained a deeper sense of meaning, purpose and contentment.

I am experienced at working with a broad range of clients and psychological conditions.

Counselling gives you an opportunity to talk in confidence, with a skilled practitioner who will help you explore any issue or decision which is necessary to improve quality of life. Issues may include bereavement, loss, stress, anxiety, carer issues, abuse, relationship difficulties, sexuality, work related situations, depression, eating distress, trauma or lack of self-confidence. I believe we all internalise emotions at times, if we can remind ourselves to talk about our feelings with a professional, the rewards may prove to be enormous, helping you to find your sense of self and discover the quality of life you deserve.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Struggling to cope with difficult feelings and emotions? Whatever it is that is troubling you, feeling this way can be a very lonely experience.
