Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Buckhurst Hill
I've completed additional CPD in bereavement, online counselling and suicide awareness.
If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, feeling burnt out, overlooked or stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re the one who holds everything together, the reliable one who keeps going even when something inside feels tired or overwhelmed.
You might find yourself saying “yes” when you want to say “no”, replaying conversations, feeling guilty for resting, or sensing that something in you is asking for more space, clarity or ease.

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.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
