Counselling in Brookmans Park

I am counsellor/psychotherapist and authorised mindfulness/ teacher. I use in my work therapeutic skills and techniques rutted in modern psychotherapy including Gestalt and EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. Either you are looking to deal with your relationships' patterns, habits or your struggle with your negative thinking, difficult feelings and expressing them in day to day situations I will help you promptly. Do you want to change your daily routine, to deal effectively with your addiction, anxiety, depression, low self esteem? Don't wait longer, build your support network.

The modern pressures of life can take their toll on us – increasing responsibilities and being connected 24/7 can leave us feeling burnt out, anxious, and overwhelmed. Even when we do manage to disconnect, we find it difficult to disconnect from our racing thoughts. If you’re new to therapy it can be daunting, however taking this brave step can be rewarding. It can give you the space to explore what is really going on, process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and restore your mental well-being - so that you aren’t just surviving, but thriving in the world.

At different times in our lives, we all feel overwhelmed emotionally, physically and mentally. At times like this, seeking the right professional support can help bring a sense of clarity and resolution.

Stepping Stones was founded in 2017 by Rebekah, who has over 25 years of experience in working with people experiencing mental health difficulties within the NHS, initially as a Registered Nurse and later as a Psychotherapist, seeing people from a wide variety of contexts and with a mix of different issues and challenges. The team has grown significantly over the years and is now a well renowned service which is a recognised training placement for Counsellors. As a low-cost service, clients are mainly seen by carefully selected Placement Counsellors who are working under the supervision of In-House Supervisors.

We all go through some difficulties in life. Asking for help can be difficult , finding the right support can be even more of a challenge. As an Integrative Therapist, I use different modalities to fit my clients' needs, learning curves and communications styles, personalities and states of mind. I also adapt to fit my clients' physical health, integrating body and mind work within the process of change. I believe we can all benefit from the therapeutic relationship. it can be helpful when dealing with difficulties and as a boost to reach our full potential. I can also be a place and time to manage mental hygiene and general health.

I’m passionate about helping you make more of your life, whether you want to work on personal, psychological, relationship, mental health or spiritual issues or to find more meaning, fulfilment, purpose and happiness in life. I have a Masters degree (with Distinction) in Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice. I offer short and long term counselling and psychotherapy, and counselling supervision. I help men, women and couples of many professions, occupations and nationalities, from 18 upwards in UK and (online) overseas. I provide individual sessions, couples sessions and am a qualified counselling supervisor.

I offer a free initial consultation to see if working together feels right. Building trust is important, and it is my hope that meeting in person will give you the best sense of how we might work together. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, emotional challenges, or find yourself at a crossroads, I’m here to help. As a registered UKCP Psychotherapist in training, I provide Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy—a trauma-informed, awareness-based approach that focuses on the mind-body connection.

You have made it this far because you have realised that this issue is now causing you emotional or psychological pain.  You owe it to yourself to take the next step and go and reach out for help whether it be with myself or another therapist.  Don't let yourself down any longer,  I wish you well and know from my own experience a little more awareness can create in you the healing you ache for. I will provide a unique tailored therapy that is yours alone.

How are you at the moment? Is everything becoming too much ? Do you struggle with everyday life and having difficulty in making sense of what is going on? Stress, anxiety, feeling low, depression, experiencing relationship issues, work burnout or going through life transitions including health concerns can be overwhelming. Through exploring your life challenges together in counselling you can learn a meaningful and different perspective and develop self-awareness. This will enable you to empower yourself and make personal and positive changes in your life.

How are you feeling? Are you having a difficult time at the moment? ​I work with a diverse range of people dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression and low mood, stress and burnout, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, and low self-worth. As a mixed-race therapist who has lived in several countries, I have a particular interest in identity, belonging, feeling 'different', disconnection, cultural differences and migration issues.

Whatever you experience that troubles you or holds you back, or the harm to you that's made life harder, or the challenges you've had to face more recently, finding the way through this and beyond could be what you're hoping for right now - so perhaps now is the time.

Welcome! The decision to start therapy is an important and often life-changing act of self-care. Continually experiencing physical tension or feeling that you are trapped in repetitive thought patterns can inhibit your ability to set priorities and implement change. Taking the first steps toward making personal changes is often the most challenging part of the journey, but I’m here to provide the support you need to ease yourself into the process.

What a world we live in, hey? So much pain. So much drama, and heartache. Yet, also so much beauty, love, and understanding. There's nothing to do except be here now and show up fully, living as best as we can. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work to change your habits, or to stop your thoughts spiralling. However you may find stillness, presence and recovery. No matter what adversity you've been through, I believe that you can grow from it and gain resilience.

Person centred and a Trauma informed practitioner; I use compassionate inquiry to understand the whole person. Through the therapy, we unravel past experiences, to help you find out how to move forward leaving trauma, guilt, shame and other emotions behind. Counselling can be an extremely daunting and anxiety inducing process, especially when you are a private person who powers through; talking about interior thoughts can feel alien and uncomfortable; therefore it is paramount to find a Counsellor who will put you at ease and 'gets you' - especially during a time when you are in need of emotional support.

I am a Person-Centred/humanistic therapist, focus strongly on the emotional and relational, on the validating bond. My therapy space is one of safety and acceptance. No value judgements. No pathologizing. And from you: no more beating up! Indeed, I wholeheartedly will support your right to fuck up. You're a human-being, a Mensch. This is how we learn, by slipping up. I'll then focus on what lead to the slipping and any other obstructions that stand between you and a happier you, will then explore ways to tackle these, through everyday little positive actions. I accept Aviva Health. All das übrigens gerne auch auf deutsch!

The experience of coming for therapy is an opportunity for you to discover for the first (or subsequent) time in life that you can let go of all the judgements, the fear and hesitation, and begin to talk about what is bothering you. We become wounded within a sense of connectedness - in families, relationships, friendships and society - and paradoxically it is within a sense of connectedness that we can begin to heal. Healing the emotional brain takes time, but it is a creative and deeply fulfilling process that brings wonderful gifts with itself. I help my clients to begin to feel more balanced and calm within their mind and body.
