Aviva Counselling in Bury Saint Edmunds
Often, life is full of ordinary trickiness that can be difficult to manage. It can be helpful to have a warm, compassionate and external mind alongside you to think about you, your needs, your current situation and what next steps for change might be possible.

Taking that first step to starting therapy can be overwhelming. That's why talking with a supportive, non-judgemental, experienced Clinical Psychologist, who believes in the importance of people feeling safe and heard can be incredibly beneficial. My sessions are collaborative and use an integrative approach, drawing on a range of psychological models that prioritises peoples strengths and values to help individuals make sense of their past and present experiences. The sessions aim to help people feel happier, calmer and develop their own resources to manage emotions, relationships and difficult life events that may occur.

If you find asking yourself far too often "what is wrong with me", feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and low mood, avoiding things, or lacking motivation and energy, maybe it is time to seek help. We tend to feel ashamed when we struggle and avoid seeking help. Unfortunately, as time goes by, our problems grow bigger.
Learning to team up with your mind and your emotions transforms your quality of life and your relationship with self and others.

With several years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I’m passionate about helping people from all walks of life navigate their unique challenges and rediscover their sense of wellbeing. I have experience working with people who've experienced depression, trauma/PTSD, attachment difficulties, anxiety, OCD, phobia's, panic, low self-esteem and challenging behaviour. I currently work in an Autism and ADHD assessment service where I am the lead for attachment and trauma. Previously I have supported individuals adjust to living with chronic health conditions (e.g., chronic pain, epilepsy, psychogenic seizures, brain injury).

I offer EMDR and EMDR Intensives, CBT and Couples Counselling therapy and the aim is to help you to regain a sense of wellbeing and enjoyment in your life. During the initial assessment we will work together to understand your main problems, what is keeping you 'stuck' and then agree on an individualised treatment plan to help you move forward with clear treatment goals. CBT is an effective treatment that can help you in the here and now and EMDR is useful for getting to the roots of the problem. I find that both work well, in different ways to bring about an improvement in emotional and physical health.

I try to make therapy as available to as many people as I possible can. The cost of therapy can be quite steep so I keep my prices as low as I can so that more can access it.

I'm an Addiction Psychologist by trade, with 18 years of private practise behind me, but a lot of my work is helping many different age groups with problems such as OCD and PTSD etc. Please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat to see if i can be any help to you.

Many people go through periods of times when they feel vulnerable, anxious, stressed, depressed or just unhappy. Sometimes these are triggered by obvious causes, like a breakup in a relationship, job loss or a bereavement, while at other times the underlying causes seem opaque, especially when life appears to be fulfilling and good.We carry around sadness, guilt, shame, pain, darkness, anger, despair and in some cases a sense of desperation. It is possible to feel relief, to let some of the pain go, to gain strength and confidence, have the ability to heal and grow so you can live a life without anxiety worry and horrible thoughts.
