Counselling in Haltwhistle

Hi, I'm Wendy. How are you doing? Having taken the courageous step to look for help, I'm guessing the answer to that is: 'Not great'. Are you feeling like your life has lost direction, suffering a loss in your life, or struggling with emotions that the current pandemic situation has brought to the forefront of your mind? I believe that we all have the innate ability to realise our full potential and live our best life. With the right help, you can take back control of your life.

It takes courage to reach out for support. We can find ourselves stuck in unhelpful patterns and longing for change. Maybe you feel lost, stuck, anxious, depressed or have low self-esteem? Our work together will focus on helping you move forward in the ways you wish. I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel seen, heard and valued. Experience has taught me how essential the strength of the therapeutic relationship is in bringing about positive change. I believe it is through an accepting and compassionate connection that we can transform our perspectives and the way we relate to ourselves and others in the world.

In the busy pace of today's world, it can be difficult to find the time to sit with our thoughts and feelings. It can also be challenging to lay them out before someone else or to speak from the heart without fear of judgement.

Hi, I'm Ollie, a CBT/EMDR therapist with 12 years experience. I specialise in working with OCD, Trauma/PTSD, Phobias, Anxiety and Depression. I'm also trained in Tourettes/Tik disorders, Gambling addiction and Perinatal care. My passion is seeing clients regain their joie de vivre, overcome their fears and retake control of their lives. I'm authentic, down to earth, honest and transparent. To be congruent as therapists, we need to own ourselves - It's vital to therapy - Being relatable, being present, being there. Marcus Aurelius once said: “You have power over your mind, not external events - Know this and you will find strength”

Hiya, I’m Lennie. Let me ask you this… how often do you wish your life was different? It’s hard to begin the change, which is why I want to help. I specialise in working with teenagers, but I also love to support their parents and teachers. Your life with family and friends should be enjoyed, not full of worry and uncomfortable feelings. Plus, steering clear of your triggers will only cause more roadblocks. Together, we’ll take the steps you’ve been avoiding to create a happy and healthy social life. We’ll gain back your confidence and control your emotions, so you can move forward with pride and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Therapy can be for anyone, it can be for growth, healing and learning, as much as for working through something. Choosing to set aside a pocket of time and space just for you, can provide relief from stresses of modern-day living, giving you a chance to recognise what is really important to you and working out what steps you want to take towards the life you want for yourself. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to explore things that are troubling you, process past experiences and work towards any goals you might have.

I am a qualified counsellor and Accredited member of the BACP. I use a pluralistic approach to my therapy. This involves working collaboratively with my clients, their individuality thus incorporating shared decision making.  I can work with a wide range of concerns and assist you with issues you may be facing such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, stress, anger, sexual abuse and many others. An example of this approach is discussing with you what you would like to achieve from therapy then working together to achieve the most effective way to get there.

We all experience challenges in life but sometimes these can become overwhelming and we feel unable to work through them alone. Often people don't feel able to, or don't want to discuss their concerns with friends or family as they are afraid to upset or burden them. It is my role to listen to you - I choose to do that.

I offer therapy to individuals and couples facing difficulties with their relationships, life and career choices. I believe communication, or lack of, is often at the root of many problems. It can be difficult to express our feelings and often we don't feel that we are heard or understood by the the important people in our lives. It may be that you have low self esteem and find relationships of all kinds difficult. You may be scared or perhaps you don't feel valued or cherished in your relationship. I will help you to explore the reasons behind this and work with you so that you can become the person you would like to be.
