Counselling in Christchurch

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor offering a confidential and affordable counselling service to individuals, who does not offer advice or tell you what to do but enables a time and space for you to gather your thoughts and gain a greater insight/awareness of yourself leading to change or acceptance of your situation.

HI my name is Natalie and I offer a warm, friendly and confidential Counselling service for Adults and young people (11-18yrs) in Lymington Hampshire. Life can be really hard at times, and sometimes you just need someone to talk to, who will really listen, understand and not judge you. Counselling can really help to empower you, and help you to gain insights and a deeper understanding about yourself. Whether you need help in clarifying your thoughts and feelings, or need help with dealing with issues you may be experiencing, then I'm here to help, and be by your side as we go through your Counselling journey together.

At times life can be tough and we have all needed some support at one time or another. You may be experiencing low mood, stress or anxiety or facing situations your struggling to make sense of. Counselling offers a safe space where you can understand and discover your genuine thoughts and feelings without fear or judgment. We all have a right to be our true selves and to feel heard and understood by someone who genuinely cares and respects us.

Living (or parenting a child) with the effects of trauma and other mental health difficulties can feel impossible. Unfortunately, finding help can be a daunting process with so many solutions being offered and not all of them being evidence based. The next best step is often to get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation to find out if I feel like the right fit for you or your child.

Do you feel you could develop your potential further? Do you feel anxious or depressed or suffer from PTSD? Is your relationship suffering? Are you finding difficult to manage stressors? Is this getting in the way of you achieving your goals and the quality of life and relationship you desire? I can help!

Our mission is to provide counselling services to children, young people and adults, whilst embracing difference and diversity. We have a passion for creating a safe environment within which the client can be truly heard, perhaps for the first time ever and have their own feelings validated. We promote emotional wellbeing through a strong therapeutic connection, supporting our clients with care and compassion.

Hi my names Gen, I specialise in anxiety, relationships and low self esteem counselling. If you feel that you are struggling with any of theses issues or just need someone to talk to, I can help you to explore these things and look at how we can move forward and work through them. We will take the time to explore what you have been dealing with and look at different ways of how therapy can help you. I will listen to your needs and adapt our sessions so that you feel comfortable enough to discuss anything you’d like too.

Do you have problems getting up in the mornings, eating? Do you have issues with your self worth? Does everyone else seem to have a better life than you? Have you got mental health difficulties? Addiction including sexual addiction? Problems with understanding or accepting who you are?

Hello, my name is Kate, I am a fully qualified humanistic and CBT counsellor based in the New Forest. I am a registered member of the BACP, which means I am a member of an association which ensures that I am always working with your best interests at heart. My approach is flexible, I am interested in learning about your unique situation and experience, working together at a pace and in a way that is right for you. I can assist by providing a safe space, where you feel heard and understood, where you are met with compassion and acceptance and are able to make sense of your emotions so that life can begin to feel easier.

There are times when many of us feel we could benefit from emotional support and although making that first step to see a counsellor can seem enormous, it is a really positive step as talking in confidence to a professional counsellor can help bring clarity and healing and give you much needed support during a painful or anxious time. Counselling can help you make sense of your emotions and responses and empower you to make changes in your life. It facilitates the freedom to talk openly and confidentially, in a place where you will be really listened to.

I am a psycho-spiritual therapist with additional training in bereavement and creative expression. My practice allows for the structure of psychoanalysis, whilst welcoming the spiritual and physical way you are in the world. (You do not have to identify as 'spiritual' to enter transpersonal therapy.) It also recognises that we are interconnected. In other words, what is happening to you, involves others too, it is not all of your own creating. I also work with physical symptoms of psychological pain. The way we work with or against our physical-ness has a deep impact on the way we live our lives.

Hello there. I understand it can be hard to take that first step to start counselling, and find a therapist whom you will feel comfortable to talk through what is troubling you. Perhaps you know what it is that you need support with, or to change? Or are you feeling unsettled but not sure why? As a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor helping clients aged 18+, I offer a safe, calm, confidential and non-judgemental space for you. We will work together to help you to gain insight, understanding, and to try to find a way forward. Please contact me for a no obligation, free 20 minute phone call to discuss what support you need.

Hello, I'm Claire. I am an experienced counsellor, working on-line and face to face from my therapy rooms in Southbourne. There are many different reasons why you may be looking for change in your life. For example, you may be suffering from day-to-day anxiety, or perhaps you have experienced traumatic life events leading to depression, addictive behaviours or problems in your relationships. You may not even be sure why you feel this way. At times like these it can help to talk to a professional who can work alongside you to help you achieve understanding and clarity, enabling you to make the changes you want in your life.

I have helped many clients change their thinking and heal emotionally so they can become who they want to be. I offer a compassionate space for clients to work through difficult thoughts and feelings to reclaim their lives and live life to the full. I offer specialist trauma support and work extensively with depression and anxiety.

Seeking support can be daunting -but you have taken the courageous first step! Working with adults & young people aged 11+, I offer an opportunity for you to explore your relationship with yourself, with others & with the wider world, drawing on your own internal strengths & resources to build your self-awareness & self-acceptance to help you make sense of things & feel more clarity. Stepping away from a focus on diagnoses & labels, working together acknowledging you as an individual we can explore the impact that your own unique set of challenges & experiences has had on your ability to engage with & enjoy the world around you.
