Toddler Counselling in Canterbury

Overwhelming Mum guilt? not feeling the joy in parenting? Perhaps you’re wondering why you’re finding certain parts of parenting difficult. Perhaps you had a challenging childhood yourself and you’d like things to be different for your child, but you don’t know how. Many aspects of your identity and things that have happened in your life impact on your mental health. Developing an understanding about how your background and experiences influence who you are can guide you to make changes in your life, for both you and your family.

Hi my name is Dawn. I have been a Counselling Professional since 2005 but more importantly a human being. I have a lived experience of depression and life and how we build building blocks, one upon the other, carrying all these blocks within us. I have a depth of experience both professionally and personally especially with mental health issues with children and adults. I am also an empath and often see links between empaths and depression. I am very creative and grounded. I feel truly listening is important.

Finding help for your child can be a tricky road to navigate, and it can be difficult to know what support is most suitable for them. Therapy sessions create a regular and safe space in which young people can express themselves without fear of judgement. Each of our sessions are child-led, and together we explore their emotions and experiences in a safe and healthy way. Through the therapeutic journey your child can work towards feeling happier, more confident, and able to engage in healthy relationships. I work in collaboration with parents and offer regular reviews to think about your child's progress together.

I have been working supporting people for 22 years. I have worked in a variety of settings supporting adults and children at their time of need. I am a compassionate good listener, and make people feel at ease, when working with them through difficult time. So, if you, we can find ways to help understand and develop skills. We take small steps one at a time, together. My aim is to enable you to find the tools within yourself to tackle difficult emotional situations. When you need things to change and need support to enable you to, I am there for you. I will work collaboratively meaning that we make decisions together.

Dr Bernard Horsford, PhD, D Occ Psych, MBA, M.Sc, LLB, BA, DipAdEd, DipM, FCIPD, MAPM, MIoD, FIC, MAE, C Psychol, AFBPsS I have worked as a psychologist in a variety of clinical settings dealing with occupational, clinical and forensic issues. In these settings, I have provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention and psychological assessment services. I have an extensive background in working with culturally diverse populations. My practice is geared towards adolescents and adults grappling employment, personal, family work, educational or health issues.

I feel clients want a place that they can be their authentic selves. They wish to be free to express themselves without a fear of being judgement. They need to feel that they are heard and what they say matters. They wish to be met at the point of their needs.

Are you feeling helpless, hopeless, frustrated with life, others or your self? Does life feel like too much at times? Do you find yourself wondering what is the point? Are you anxious? worrying about things that have yet to happen. Dealing with difficult feelings can feel overwhelming and may seem as if you have nowhere to turn or no way out. Deciding to see a counsellor can be a scary thought, thinking about discussing, with a stranger, private and sensitive subjects or even things that may feel shaming. However, making the decision to start therapy can be the first step to empowering yourself to make changes in your life.

Hello I am Paula and my aim is to make professional counselling accessible, affordable and convenient - so anyone who struggles with life's challenges can get help. Depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelmed are words we all hear on a daily basis when generally chatting to family, friends or work colleagues . Counselling can help us cope with those over consuming feelings. Sadly we cannot avoid trauma happening but seeking help during the trauma or even months, years later may reduce risk to further illnesses that have been linked to psychological trauma. Are you in an abusive relationship or having issues as a couple?
