Counselling in Brookthorpe
Bonnie Grotjahn
Counsellor
You might be in crisis: a relationship breakdown, sudden news of the death of a loved one or an illness, a work loss, or at an emotional or spiritual crossroads. Or you may generally have the feeling that your life isn't all you'd like it to be - you feel stuck, aren't living up to your potential or feeling as fulfilled or happy as you would like. Either way, you can be supported to navigate successfully through the very choppy waters of crisis - or the fog of confusion or uncertainty. You don't have to go it alone! You may well emerge from the other side a stronger and happier person than you ever thought possible.

The decision to begin therapy is a very individual one that may come about after long and careful consideration, or perhaps be triggered by an event. I appreciate that it is fundamentally a choice for things to change, a bid for greater understanding and a desire for personal growth. I am an accredited adult psychotherapist. I have been attending to mental health and well-being concerns for over 24 years. In this I have accompanied people of different ages and life stages as they address all sorts of issues. These may be specific concerns, demanding circumstances and events, or the desire to be free, more true to themselves.

I work with individuals or couples who are struggling with their lives, who maybe have a history of trauma or family difficulties, and this is still haunting them in their adult roles and relationships. This may manifest in problems online with Internet pornography or inappropriate social media chat. Some may turn to substances as a way of controlling such feelings, like the overuse of alcohol, recreational or prescribed drugs, exercise, or work addictions. I specialise in working with people who are struggling with sexual deviance, sexual offending, and those who have recieved 'the knock' and been charged with a sexual offense.

Firstly I am here for YOU! You may find that you are struggling to believe in yourself? Or that your inner-confidence is on the floor and belief in your own abilities is suffering. You may feel you struggle to see yourself in a positive light, and to value yourself. Are you always putting other people’s feelings and needs before your own? Are your wants and needs at the very bottom of the priority list? Do you find it difficult to try new things or to take risks? You may find you try and hide certain aspects of your personality, so that people don’t see the real you?

I offer a safe nurturing space for you to explore in your own time and to deeply understand what it is like to be you.

Are you looking for support? I know how impossible it may feel to have someone that could just listen. You may be facing a challenge, or purely feeling stuck in your current circumstances, at that point when you just want to be understood. I will provide a safe and confidential space for you to share and feel heard, helping you see things differently, going at your own pace. Whether it is your general experience or a specific issue, our initial conversation will be the opportunity for both of us to see whether we can work together.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

Do you struggle to communicate with your partner. One or both of you end up getting angry and issues don't get resolved. Has one of you has had an affair? You may have erection problems, difficulty orgasming, painful penetration or lack or no desire for sex. Have you found yourself or your partner using more and more pornography or behaving sexually in a way that isn't acceptable or is out of control. You want to creat a better relationship. You want to recover from the pain of betrayal.

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
