Bisexual Counselling in Bournemouth

I am a trauma-informed and experienced (12yrs) Humanistic Integrative LGBTQ affirmative counsellor. I was based at Over the Rainbow Sexual Health Clinic in Bournemouth until 2017. I've facilitated LGBTQ+ and wellbeing groups for Dorset Mind prior to starting my full time private practice.
Due to cis, hetero and mono normativity, many LGBTQ+ people haven't felt safe enough to connect with their deepest thoughts, feelings and needs. I provide a safe, informed and affirmative space. I integrate Mindfulness, CBT, CPT, DBT Skills Training, IFS and Emotional Freedom Techniques to address the impact of trauma on the brain and body.

Hi, I'm Saffron. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, struggling with self esteem, relationship difficulties, addiction, symptoms of past trauma or other issues? Counselling can offer a great source of comfort and relief and help us through difficult times in our lives. I will help you to identify your patterns of behaviour and to understand the reasons why you think about yourself or behave in the way that you do. Gaining an understanding of these issues will provide you with more self awareness, self esteem, confidence and can give you a more balanced outlook which can lead to a more rewarding life and improved relationships.

I get it, life can get overwhelming sometimes. You feel unwell and don't know where to start. You can't put your finger on anything because everything seems like a lot right now: Family, relationships, self-esteem, worry, insecurities, work... nothing feels good anymore. You feel lost and sometimes don't really know what to do. You might struggle to enjoy the things you used to or simply have a good time with friends. Sometimes you might feel ridden by anxiety, worry and overthinking, which makes you question literally everything and you feel exhausted!

I enjoy working with young people and adults alike. I have been told by past clients that I am open, honest and friendly, which are qualities that all clients have valued. I like to problem solve and am a very logical and practical person. Having lived in several different countries, I have developed a good understanding of a range of issues for people from different cultures and backgrounds. I like to ask questions and truly get to know someone and never assume to know better. My clients are always the experts in their lives and I see myself as a guide to help them navigate to a calmer place.

Many people struggle in silence with sexual concerns—whether it's loss of desire, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual compulsivity, or shame around sexuality.

Do you feel that you have a certain way of understanding yourself and fitting into the world? It could be to work very hard or to make sure everyone else is okay before yourself.

Hello, I am a BACP qualified therapist and registered mental health nurse. I provide talking therapies in a safe, confidential, and accepting way.

Empathic and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, based in the Bournemouth/Poole area. I work with individual adults of all ages and also within the LGBTQ+ community. My clients experience and bring a broad range of issues to therapy such as anxiety, identity issues, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. Trauma from our past often impacts our lives in the present and prevents us from moving forward or from being our authentic selves. Therapy cannot change the past, but it can enable us to move forward with increased resilience and can provide us with a solid foundation for lasting changes.

I imagine you find yourself here because you are struggling with something and it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage this alone. Perhaps anxiety is ruling your life or relationships are strained. Sometimes a traumatic event or painful past experiences bring everything into sharp focus. In reaching out you are listening to that voice within that is telling you all is not well. The therapy I offer will attend to this. Together we will explore your challenges and what might be realised within your struggle as potential and possibility.
