Counselling in Eastleigh

I've worked for several years as a therapist, having trained after leaving university in counselling and youth work. I have worked with children, young people and adults & can adapt my working style to the needs of each age group. I offer therapy from the age of 10. I strongly believe in the relationship between client and therapist as well as working hard to ensure that the therapy you receive is according to your needs and the way you feel comfortable working. I can offer a flexible service, offering appointments during the day and evenings. I offer both long and short term therapy.

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I specialise in the combination and application of Clinical, Positive, Coaching and Applied Psychology to improve mental health difficulties. Working with adults, children and adolescents, I am trained and qualified to work with a range of mental health experiences across the life span. As well as being a trustee and Clinical Director for a veteran's mental health charity, I also provide expert witness reports, have appeared on local radio stations and written articles for magazines.

Community Counselling is built on foundations of humanistic therapy. We offer counsellors from different counties and varied modalities within the humanistic approaches. Our ethos is to provide high quality service to our clients and operate on a social enterprise system, which applies a strategy to maximise improvements in the well-being of disadvantaged client groups. ​CC aims to provide a non-judgemental, confidential and supportive environment to promote an atmosphere of trust, enabling clients to bring to the session what is important for them.

Does life sometimes feel like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces not slotting together? I am a great believer that we need to invest in ourselves. When life becomes difficult and those pieces are just not fitting, counselling gives you the opportunity to focus on yourself, make you the priority in an otherwise busy life. I have been through such times and it encouraged me to train as a counsellor to help clients with general mental health issues and other life difficulties, such as grief, addiction, sexuality, domestic abuse and anger issues.

I am a qualified Humanistic Gestalt counsellor; I am based in Eastleigh, where I see clients at my home. I also travel across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and parts of Dorset to peoples homes. I see myself as a multi-skilled counsellor with further training in different types of counselling, including CBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and TA counselling. I create a strong therapeutic relationship and use my knowledge to tailor the sessions to meet your needs.

I have been working since 2006 with adults suffering from anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship issues, bereavement, eating disorders, and minority stress (migratory, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+). I have a particular interest in working with clients with physical or medical conditions, and learning differences alongside their families, whilst focusing on helping them live their lives to their full potential. I am totally committed to supporting the values that promote diversity in all its dimensions.

Hello and a warm welcome to you… How are you feeling right now? Perhaps a little anxious at taking your first steps to finding a counsellor. That’s completely normal. Well done for getting this far! Life can feel difficult at times but if you are struggling, you don’t have to face your worries alone. I believe that people have the ability to solve their own problems, but can sometimes feel stuck and need some help. My role is not to advise but to help you to see your own situation more clearly. We will work together to find the solutions that are right for you. Counselling could be the best gift you ever give yourself.

If you are reading this it is likely that you are considering counselling. Seeking support when life is presenting challenges can be quite daunting and you may have some worries about sharing your feelings. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for you to be heard, where I believe the relationship between us is the key to supporting you in your journey. Perhaps experiences from your past or in the present are impacting how you live your daily life or maybe your feeling anxious, stressed or generally unhappy and would like to make some changes.

I have been providing goal focussed therapy for over 25 years for a whole range of problems; privately and within the NHS - people really do experience change! I work with children, adults and families and it can be effective to include them at some point during treatment.

When we are experiencing difficulties and our usual means of coping aren’t enough, it can be difficult to know where or who to turn to. Therapy can provide a non-judgemental and expectation free space to reflect on what is going on for us, what changes we might want to make and how we might go about this. My core approach to therapy is based in Transactional Analysis however I am also trained in integrative therapy and draw on contemporary relational Psychodynamic therapy as well, but my approach with each client is different, reflecting the uniqueness of each client’s needs.

My aim as a CBT therapist is to help clients who may be struggling with life challenges and develop a shared formulation that is individualised, that brings awareness to and understanding how your difficulties may have developed and are being maintained. This acts as a “roadmap” for our therapeutic understanding and intervention and will be covered in the initial assessment session(s). We will agree on how many sessions to meet for (usually six to 24, depending on the duration and complexity/severity) and help you work towards your set goals and values.

Welcome. Counselling can make a big difference in how you feel and how you approach personal difficulties. You are only one step away from finding the help you are seeking. Together, we can decide what would be the most beneficial use of our sessions. Talking freely about what is really on your mind, even if you feel ashamed or are afraid that anyone would laugh at your struggles and diminish them can bring great relief. You do not have to cope on your own. You are not alone. Clients say about me that I am warm, authentic, and empathic. I believe that humour has its place in therapy. While it is hard work, therapy can be fun too.

My name is Angeline, I am friendly, warm and approachable. I have been told I have a calm nature and I bring this to my approach in therapy. I believe that in the right environment it is possible to make positive changes in life. My own life experiences have prepared me for many of the issues that people bring to therapy. I have supported adults and young people with Post traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. I have many years experience in private practice with adults and adolescents. I have worked alongside children services as a trauma therapist and alongside Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for a youth service.

Hi! My name is Claudia (she/her). I'm a counsellor, therapist, mother, wife, daughter, dog lover, friend among many other roles! The challenges of having all these roles made me reflect on the importance of taking care of our mental health which led to my training in Gestalt Therapy. My profession is my passion and I feel privileged to help transform lives for the better. Many times, the way we deal with our problems and needs ends up keeping us stuck, generating more and more suffering like anxiety, depression and stress.

Do you struggle with anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or other emotional issues? Do you sometimes find it difficult to articulate what the problem is or feel that words are just not enough to express it? It might be that Dramatherapy is right for you. Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy/psychotherapy in which all of the performing arts are utilised within the therapeutic relationship (BADth). It is particularly helpful when you struggle to articulate what the problem is or when words are just not enough to express it. Clients do not need to have previous experience or skills in acting, theatre or drama, it is not about performing well or being good at acting, rather it is about making use of dramatic tools to explore, address and make sense of troubling issues. I am Marta Paglioni, a Dramatherapist clinical practitioner registered with HCPC and full member of BADth (British Association of Dramatherapists). - Cover image from: <a href="http://www.freepik.com">Designed by Freepik</a>)-

We all get stuck, from time to time. Sometimes it feels like we cannot move forward. It can be frustrating, constraining and painful. Yet there is energy behind every blockage, and looking at it from above – as if from a bridge – can be the first step to unlocking our potential. This is what I aim to offer to my clients. My approach is creative, in that it adapts to individual needs, and culturally sensitive, as it draws on my experience of transit and change. I practise in English and Italian. Face to face and online.
