Noticing that your relationships elicit surprisingly strong feelings? Struggling with low self-esteem or feeling 'not enough? Coping with being overwhelmed by engaging in unhelpful behaviours? Feeling that you've tried everything; worried that nothing will work? You might think that you just have to learn to communicate better or be less 'this way and more that way'. You convince yourself that you should be able to stay connected by sheer will and behavior change. That's not how it Works...

I am a fully qualified Counsellor with a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I have experience of working with both adults, young people and children.

Hello, my name is Bernadette and I’m a trauma informed integrative therapist. I know that it’s sometimes difficult to reach out for help. Counselling is a way to explore things which can be painful or difficult to share and this can help ease their impact and build new understanding and possibilities. My practice is warm and non-judgemental and your trust and sense of safety will be at the heart of our work together, as you better understand recurring behaviours, thoughts and feelings or deal with the challenges that life has thrown at you. I create a space where people feel seen, heard and validated.

Hello, all are welcome. Anxiety, stress, depression and anger can creep up on us or appear quite suddenly. Sometimes life just gets too hard and we cannot cope. You may not even know why you feel the way you do, even so, talking with someone impartial can really help. I believe that mental health is no different to physical health in that systems can become unbalanced and give us problems. Support from a Counsellor can help to rebalance your mind. You may feel unsure but I encourage you to come and meet me, then see how you feel.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
