Counselling in Bordon

Hi, thanks for viewing my profile and considering therapy together. I have worked in the therapeutic field full-time for eight years primarily with anxiety and depression difficulties in the NHS. I have also gained additional training and experience in working with PTSD as part of a trauma team. . My main therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I am also qualified in EMDR and have three years of counselling training.

Counselling can be really helpful when you just need someone to talk to and it can offer so much more. When you are feeling like something is just not right or life seems so challenging, talking to a Counsellor can make the difference. Many people just want to feel better and get a sense of relief from the turmoil of life. It may be that a life event has really impacted on you, such as a bereavement, trauma or loss of a job. You may feel like the world just does not understand you or perhaps you are struggling to come to terms with your sexuality. There are many many different reasons why people choose counselling. We're all unique.

Would you like to talk about what goes on in your life and in your head? Want to be sure that you will not be judged and that you feel safe whilst exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours? Maybe you are wondering which event or events in your life have most affected how you feel. There could be relationships, past, present, and future which play on your mind. Do you want healthier relationships? Do you wonder if the way you feel gets in the way of you getting what you want out of life or living the life you want? You may have feelings you do not understand or believe you have lost yourself and no longer know how you feel.

The thought of seeking counselling or psychotherapy can feel like a daunting prospect. However sometimes we can face struggles in life that seem too difficult to cope with alone. It takes courage in taking the first steps to seek help and support. My personal philosophy is that we are all complex unique individuals with our own needs, but sometimes these needs get distorted as we try to fit in and be accepted by others, or we simply become lost in the "busy-ness" of our lives.

As a Clinical Psychologist I offer treatment for a range of presenting difficulties including anxiety, depression and trauma. I specialise in working with parents, parents-to-be and those trying to conceive. I also have further training and experience in working with conception and pregnancy after loss. I work closely with my clients to build a true understanding of their story and what has brought them to therapy. This enables me to develop individualised treatment plans grounded in the evidence base.

I work with adults and adolescents and my aim is to provide a warm safe space to help and empower you to find solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways to cope with your problems. I work with young people and adults to help you to navigate life’s challenges, we all have moments where we need additional support, I can offer a warm, compassionate and empathetic understanding of the distress you may be experiencing, I can help you with depression, anxiety, anger, social anxiety, ODC symptoms, low self-esteem or just support you through a challenging time.

Most people through life encounter difficulties that they have to deal with. For some the difficulties can all become too much and they feel they need support. As a counsellor and psychotherapist I offer a safe confidential space where you can explore and work through whatever issues you are struggling with and wish to bring to counselling. It is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship between us so you feel comfortable and supported as you will be dealing with difficult and sometimes very personal thoughts and feelings.

Welcome to Heartlands. If you are tired of coping and would like to achieve a feeling of joy Heartlands provides a safe space to explore and unravel what may be blocking this in your life. Anxiety and depression can be symptoms of old trauma that we store somatically. Insomnia and obsession can be a way of coping with difficult feelings. Learning to gain a sense of self can be a very important first step on a healing journey. I am interested in whole hearted wellness- begin to learn how to take care of yourself undoing attachment issues and relational problems. Address low energy and self esteem.

Many people come to therapy needing support but not being sure how therapy can help. Life may have become difficult to cope with or feel unhappily limited. You may be seeking to understand why things are the way they are; you may be uncertain about what changes are needed, or your capacity to make them; perhaps you just need to talk to someone not directly involved in your situation. My approach is designed to meet all of these concerns, beginning with supportive listening, facilitating insight into your situation, and ultimately supporting you to grow and nurture your inner resources to meet the challenges you face.

When you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, abused, stressed, angry, lost confidence or at crisis point and you know things can't go on as they are, I am trained to help. Calling me could be the starting point to make positive changes in your life. I can help you overcome difficult experiences and move forward in your life. I will listen to what you have been through and offer guidance and tools to develop resilience and personal growth so you can live to your full potential.
