Counselling in Bushey

You're probably wondering how you got here, searching through profiles to find the right person who can help you. Maybe you're feeling low, maybe life just feels all too difficult now. I can help you see a way through. We can work together, discovering what brought you here, at a pace that feels right for you.

My young clients suffer with depression, anxiety & PTSD, they tend to have a sense of not belonging. Through the build up of the therapeutic relationship, they will need empathic understanding from me & perhaps come CBT coping strategies depending on their presenting issues & most importantly, a sense of feeling heard. The goal is to work together to alleviate their suffering & aim towards making some sort of change in their lives to move past their issues.

When we experience difficulties in our life that are getting in the way, or if we are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected, counselling offers a quiet, non-judgemental safe space for us to work through painful thoughts, feelings and emotions. Embarking on counselling can allow us the opportunity to begin to explore the issues and concerns that are important to us, and begin to gain a better understanding so we can move forward.

Counselling is a confidential, safe space where the client is encouraged to think and talk about their inner most feelings without feeling judged. My role as your counsellor would be to help you manage these feelings and explore them to a much deeper level whilst giving you the autonomy to help you find your own personal solutions. An initial meeting/conversation will give us both an opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together. Counselling can sometimes be a long and painful process, but with my help and experience I hope to help you process your thoughts and feelings in a safe space that is just for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of your day-to-day life? Are you beginning to recognise patterns that may be holding you back from reaching your potential? Are you unsure how to change these patterns and concerned about the impacts they have, not only on yourself but also on the relationships in your life? A space outside of your current support network, to explore these challenges can not only be beneficial, but also a transformative experience. Counselling can offer a deeper understanding of yourself as well as an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration.

My name is Dr Carly Keyes and I am a compassionate Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Fully BABCP accredited CBT Therapist. Life is a journey full of ups and downs. I am here to understand your current difficulties, to work with you and help you get equipped with strategies to help you cope during the down times in order for you to enjoy the ups. I offer psychological therapy that is personalised to you to help you blossom. I believe the therapeutic relationship is fundamental and for you to build trust in me and feel relaxed in the sessions and to start living a richer and more fulfilling life.

Hello. I am a friendly, experienced clinical psychologist / family therapist. I have been working with people with a range of psychological difficulties for over twenty years. I see adults, children and couples. My therapeutic approach is based on a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Systemic Therapy, If you are experiencing intense distress our work may either take the form of a more intensive, time-limited therapy to help you regain a sense of emotional balance. Equally we may work in a more explorative manner better suited to understanding more deep seated emotional difficulties.

Hello. I am aware that life can be hard sometimes, especially when we feel alone and confused with our thoughts and feelings – at times, we all need space to make sense of what is going on for us. I can offer you the time and space to be listened to and heard, to talk about your feelings and work through difficulties. Anxiety, stress and overthinking can all get in our way. Giving yourself the time you deserve to talk it through in a trusting, non-judgemental and confidential space is a good place to start.

If you are worried about your child or adolescent, as a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor for young people, I can help, so please do not feel alone. I offer a safe setting for therapy, where I work one on one in a warm and creative environment in areas such as the following: Trauma, Relationships, Transitions, Abuse, Sexuality, Self-esteem, Loss and Bereavement . Seeing a counsellor can help a young individual cope with difficult emotions and challenging behaviours. Over time they will understand and make sense of their feelings and experiences and build resilience and confidence.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to who is detached from the people we interact with on a daily basis. If you are looking for a safe space to reflect on the issues that you currently face and need a professional to help you to make sense of your experience and find a way forward, then therapy might help. I offer one-to-one therapy online or face-to-face (office in Bushey), depending on your needs and have experience working with a range of issues including: relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, bereavement, working with past trauma/abuse, as well as end of life counselling.

Are you consumed by thoughts about food and weight? Maybe the more you control your eating, the more you binge? You know dieting doesn't work, but you don't know what to do? Maybe you overeat in secret or alone and feel guilty about it? Perhaps you feel like you've tried everything to no avail? Maybe you feel like you're continually sabotaging yourself? I understand how you feel. I struggled with disordered eating for years and at the time didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. I help women overcome their unhealthy relationships with food by addressing the root causes of emotional eating and binge eating.

I have worked as a Counsellor for over 30 years and can help you if you are struggling with Relationship issues, Bereavement, Anxiety and Depression. I treat both adults and adolescents and am also interested in helping people who are generally struggling with their identity and finding meaning in life. I am a warm and approachable person and am happy to offer therapy via FaceTime, What’s App or Skype

Very often life involves losses, challenges and the inevitable changes that come alongside. Your psychological well being can be tried and tested at such times: Hence an understanding, warm and supportive non judgmental personable professional can make all the difference. Yes life will not be the same again, but it can be good again!

Life is complicated, sometimes full of challenges which can become easier to cope with when someone non-judgemental really listens to you, enabling you to navigate a way forward. I am able to offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore whatever difficulties you may be facing. I offer both short term therapy and longer open-ended work, the choice is yours. Each client is unique and I work according to your needs. I specialise in young people and adults, coping with the complexities life can throw, often causing anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Asking for help is not an easy step to take. The prospect of sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone else is quite a leap of faith and if you have not experienced counselling before you may be wondering what to expect. I would like to offer you a comfortable space where we can talk and get to know each other; and when you are ready, we can start to explore and make sense of your thoughts and personal difficulties, working entirely at your own pace. By exploring our past experiences and relationships we can often gain a new and fresh perspective on our issues which can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

I can offer you one-to-one personal therapy or couples work. You may have personal issues relating to your self esteem, relationship, problems with anxiety, stress and depression, or you may just feel that your current situation is limiting you. I am an experienced therapist and you won't know if therapy can help you unless you try. It can be difficult though to reach out. You can work with me and I will offer you a safe, supportive space. We can talk things through together. Sometimes we all need to turn to someone who isn't a family member or a friend and who may be able to offer something different.
