Counselling in Cheltenham

Hi , I'm Emma. I'm an integrative counsellor with extensive experience of working with young people 16+ with a range of presentations such as self harm , body image, gender identity , relationship problems, suicidal ideation and adults experiencing complex grief/ trauma. I am able to offer short term and long term online counselling. My core qualifications are FdA (hons) Therapeutic Counselling with Distinction and BSc (hons) Applied social sciences. I understand that people are wondefully unique , therefore over the years I've developed a toolbox of techniques to use when necessary. I am a registered member of the BACP. LGBT+ ALLY

Hello, my name is Emma and I have over ten years experience as a counsellor. Contact me if you are looking for a safe person with whom you can explore matters that are important to you, this may include relationships, emotions, thoughts that concern you, or blocks you feel. The focus of our work would be you and your life. You may have goals you wish to achieve or feel hopeless and stuck. Whatever your concerns our work may entail looking at the past or take a solution focused approach.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or worried? Perhaps your mood has been low for a while and you can't shift that feeling. Has something happened recently, or in the past that's affecting how things are for you today? Sometimes there may be a sense that life is lacking in meaning and direction. Maybe you want to make some changes but feel stuck in negative and destructive patterns of behaviour?

I am an experienced counsellor PROVIDING THERAPY IN THE OUTDOORS. Sometimes we want to talk but sitting in a counselling room might not feel like the right space for you. WALKING WHILST TALKING might just give you the space and freedom to begin to understand some uncomfortable feelings and past experiences in the safe hands of myself within nature. Being in nature will help you to learn how to resource yourself whilst processing the past giving you a clearer feel of the future. You may feel anxious or depressed, struggling with relationships. I work from Pittville Park, The Cotswolds and Crickley Hill. I also do home visits.

I hope to offer a safe space, warm and trusting environment and non-judgemental relationship, where we can discuss the difficult and uncomfortable elements of your life. Be those early life experiences and relationships, significant life events (pregnancy/birth/death/marriage/divorce), anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, identity, sense of self, loss.

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

Hello, and welcome. I provide a safe, warm, non-judgemental space, where we can work together to explore, with gentle curiosity, what is going on for you, and how to find your own way forward.  I have experience working within a wide range of areas, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, low self esteem, difficult family relationships, self harm and suicidal thoughts.

I work with adults and children and young people who want to be able to explore their feelings and their thoughts in a safe place. Have you been struggling with feelings that are overwhelming? Maybe you know what is bothering you and you would like to explore the past and how it is affecting your present situation? Sometimes we just don’t know why we are experiencing anxiety and depression or why each day is such a struggle. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships? I am here to offer you a guiding hand to enable you to explore in a space that is full of love and understanding and not judgemental.

As a counsellor working with Adults, Teenagers and Children, I offer a safe, confidential space where I listen without judgement. We will work together at your pace. I offer an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of life's difficulties and the emotions that are being experienced. We will explore what is important to you, what you need to address and where you are needing help, understanding and support. Our work together moves towards making positive changes within yourself, your life and your relationships. ​

Taking the first steps to seek out a counsellor can be a fearful time and we as therapists will not be the correct match for every individual. My aim would be to offer you counselling and support in a safe place, where we can work together and give you the opportunity to speak freely without fear of what others might think? When someone looks for a counsellor it is often because there is something happening in life they want to explore, this maybe: low self-worth, lacking in confidence, generally feeling of unhappiness, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, or other mental health concerns. We can work together at your pace.

Sometimes life can feel tough. Whether you are feeling anxious, alone, disempowered or vulnerable, finding it hard to manage or come to terms with something in your life, or struggling with a past trauma – I am committed to helping you explore and make sense of your experiences with the aim of finding a way to experience life differently. Whatever you are struggling with, I provide a safe, confidential, therapeutic space where you will be listened to with compassion, empathy and without judgement. Trusting someone new can be hard - I make every effort to help you feel cared for so that you can get the most of out therapy.

I can help you manage current life challenges like: sudden changes or losses brought about by coronavirus; anxiety; relationship issues; bereavement; loneliness and parenthood. I can also help if you struggle with past experiences intruding on your present or want to know yourself better. Online therapy offers vital connection, support and opportunity to work things through with an empathic, trained professional totally unconnected to your life. I'll resume also offering face to face therapy when possible. Whether we meet in person or remoteIy, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to share your load, rather than carrying it alone.

Hi I'm Anna, being understood and cared for are deeply important to me, I listen attentively with acceptance and compassion. Would you like to understand yourself more? Maybe you feel anxious about work or school, talking it through can help you make sense of things. Sometimes past experiences can cause distress, having a space to share with a counsellor can help you process your feelings. Working together, we can look at choices available to you, helping you find hope again.

Here you are...on your life's adventure. Waking up?..! As a long-experienced transpersonal (psychospiritual) psychotherapist, my focus is profound, potentially freeing, process work - working with the presence of your constant companion (your inner being) at the core...placed within the immense spiritual context, or underlying reality, of oneness. Now, if you are anxious, depressed, sad, angry, confused, stuck, disconnected, lost... please assess your readiness (or otherwise!) for our work to include grounded spiritual self-development - through the deep, often playful, work of conscious awareness and transformative experiencing.

When anxious thoughts and depressive feelings get too much, we can lose sight of ourselves. I aim to meet you where you are and look together at what’s happening for you, and perhaps make changes based on what you find.

I am here to help you help yourself. I work with a range of counselling techniques to enable me to help a board range of people. We all have times in our lives where we may struggle and find things difficult. If you feel distressed, counselling can provide vital relief. I am here to provide the compassionate support you need to help you find effective solutions to help with your distress. ​ I am able to provide support with anxiety, depression, bereavement, crisis, anger, stress, trauma and relationship issues and a lot more.
