Domestic Abuse Counselling in Derby

My name is Kim Byng, I am a fully qualified counsellor working in Derby. I have a background in working with clients affected by domestic violence (male and female) and also with victims of crime. I work with adult clients around relationship and attachment issues, domestic abuse , sexual abuse , anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, loss, trauma, self harm, identifying patterns of relating to others, new relationships and personal growth. I generally use Transactional Analysis when working with clients, this involves inviting the client to examine their own processes and ways of relating to others so they can make changes in their lives.

Hello, I'm Zareeda and I work with people on issues ranging from rape and sexual abuse to stress, bereavement, anxiety and depression. If you are struggling to find meaning in life you may be feeling disconnected from yourself and/or those around you. This loss of contact with yourself, your needs, values and beliefs may decrease your trust in your ability to form and build meaningful relationships and achieve personal goals.

If you, or someone you care about, is experiencing difficulties in life, it can be helpful to talk with a highly-skilled and experienced professional who can help to navigate through these moments. As a psychotherapist registered with the BACP, I provide a compassionate and safe space for you to explore these issues in a non-judgmental manner.

Hello there, my name is Rob. I am an integrative psychotherapist. I have a number of years experience working with a wide variety of mental health struggles, and am dedicated to providing a supportive and compassionate space. Whether you are struggling with something like anxiety, stress, grief, or just generally feel that you need support in understanding how you feel, I am here to work with and support you. Reaching out can be a challenging thing to do, and I appreciate that for some, coming to meet with a therapist can be a huge step and as such your experience with me will be tailored to your own personal needs.

Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, leaving you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. Most things in your life, your relationships, work or education might be affected and you long to break free from it all.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective, evidence based treatment for anxiety disorders, depression and trauma. Life experiences can impact negatively on current wellbeing and self-esteem. We can use CBT and/or EMDR to explore these experiences and how they have impacted on your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is particularly effective for childhood trauma including child sexual abuse . I have a particular interest in working with trauma and self esteem. I am a collaborative therapist and I will work with you towards the goals you identify as important to you.

Currently I am only accepting clinical supervision referrals for therapist working in education. I feel I can support that development of a person’s therapeutic thinking. I have a great understanding of what it is like to work as a therapist with young people and the systems around them. I value and respect good effective therapeutic interventions and provide honest and supportive guidance. My extensive experience has given me the understanding and compassion when working with young people experiencing dissociation, abuse , domestic violence , depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide ideation.

Have you ever suffered Trauma in your life, which has lead to you feeling unable to cope, feeling suicidal or self harming? Do you feel confused, ashamed, scared, anxiety ridden and depressed, unable to make decisions? Do your relationships suffer as a consequence? Do you wish you could move forward with your life positively and leave the past behind? I use EMDR Therapy to help individuals to deal with a variety of issues, including: PTSD, Depression, Stress, Panic attacks, Anxiety, Sexual and Domestic Abuse , Rape, Pain Management, Social Anxiety, Phobias, Trauma, Personality Disorder, Relationship breakdown and many other issues.

As an integrative therapist, I am relational in my approach, this style places great emphasis on the relationship between the client and the therapist. I believe the most important part of any therapy is to build a trusting relationship, where you can feel safe and secure so you feel able to share your story and experiences in a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore positive and challenging aspects of your life and any change you wish to explore or make. I have personal experience in sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse ; divorce; living with a narcissist; step-parenting; addiction and PTSD.

Counselling changes not just the lives of individuals, but of families, work colleagues and friendships. I will give you the opportunity to promote a greater self-awareness, self-esteem, self-assertiveness and confidence. I will support and help you understand and give you a better perspective on your problems and your issues that can actually help you to deal with them differently and work on them in a different way. I will provide you with a safe, secure and non-judgemental environment where you can actually feel vulnerable and voice your thoughts and feelings to gain a better and different understanding of them.

I work with people who are needing support to navigate the challenges of life. Some common themes are: A desire for greater self-understanding or to find more meaning and purpose in life. A desire to feel more confident, assertive, expressive or creative. Exploring your identity. Finding ways of processing difficult feelings. Making sense of experiences of difficult or abusive relationships. Stressful events at work or home which are affecting your quality of life. Personal difficulties resulting from difficult childhood experiences or abuse . Parenting and family difficulties. Menopause, pregnancy and menstrual cycle awareness.

Have you tried and tried to repair what you feel is broken but still feel stuck and don’t know how to move forward? Maybe you feel that everyone else seems to be coping so there must be something wrong with you? Are you feeling isolated, unable to share your feelings with those closest to you? Sometimes we struggle with sadness, anxiety or self criticism, we can feel like life no longer holds any joy or charm for us. We feel frustrated with ourselves for not being ok - for not just “getting on with it”. We are often so understanding of other people's fallibility but have such high expectations of ourselves that we fall short.
