Counselling in Hammerwich

Life can be hard right? Ever feel like your struggling to cope with the day to day, like you don't feel like yourself. Or maybe you've experienced trauma and need a safe place to work through that. Maybe your experiencing mental health difficulties for the first time such as anxiety or depression. Well these are some of the many things that therapy can help with.

Deciding upon counselling-or even asking for help is not an easy step to take. When you feel strong enough to take that first step, I will help you take time out, by creating a safe space where you will be seen, heard and can talk things through at your own pace. This really can make all the difference.

I understand that the decision to enter counselling is not easy but sometimes we need to help ourselves, speak with someone and find a way to improve our quality of life. I believe that counselling is often the most effective way for you to solve problems or issues in your life. I am a fully qualified Person Centered Counsellor and I believe we are all human beings of equal value. We all deserve somebody who will hear us and understand what that means on our deepest level, and who will accept us without judgement

Hi, I'm Fran and I am an integrative psychotherapist who is registered with the BACP. ​I believe that the relationship that you have with yourself is extremely important and my practice consists of helping you to implement self-compassion, self-love and self-care into your daily life. I use a range of approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Systemic Therapy, CBT, Attachment Therapy, Psychotherapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy and children’s therapy aged 6+.

The counselling process supports you looking at and focusing on your issues; this way can lead to viewing things differently or changes in behaviour. Depression, anxiety, relationship issues and bereavement are few of the problems Person-Centred therapy can help with, to find ways to progress and find balance in such difficult times. If unresolved trauma is what has brought you to seek counselling, know that counselling will help you get to the resolution you need.

Therapy is a journey. We can choose to ignore that part of us that hopes for more in life and in many ways that's the easier option. The therapeutic journey is not easy. It can be extremely painful at times, but it can also help us to live again. Since you are reading this there is part of you that wants change, that wants to live in the way you once imagined. It's not too late. I can't give you the answers you are looking for, you have those. I can help you to connect more to yourself, which might mean working through some painful parts of your story. It won't be easy, but I will stay with you, as long as it takes.

Hello, my name is Dr Joanna Saddington. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2006. Before setting up in private practice I worked in the NHS for 18 years. I am passionate about helping adults, young people, children and families overcome their difficulties. We all know life can be challenging, so it doesn't matter whether a problem is longstanding or is more recent. What is important, is that we work together to try to solve it. I always aim to work in a way that suits the individual and their needs, as well as aiming to deliver therapy empathetically and without judgment.

I believe that all therapy is very personal and has to fit with you, therefore my main focus is always you and your journey. This means that I want to provide a safe and accepting environment where we can work together to bring about the changes you want to make. I have had my own counselling journey through the years and know how the counselling experience supported me. So, some years ago I decided to pay it forward. I bring knowledge, expertise and experience from holding a BA Honours degree in Psychology and a Professional diploma in Psychotherapeutic counselling practice, all I ask is you bring the person you know best. You.

Whether you know what problems you want to address or if things just don’t feel right, talking to someone can help. Together we can identify and work to overcome the issues that are creating difficulties or distress. As an integrative therapist I use a variety of trusted therapeutic modalities, which are tailored to your personal needs, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment theory and person centred therapy. I provide a safe environment where you can talk openly without judgement, with a friendly down to earth therapist to achieve emotional and psychological wellbeing.

Anyone can access counselling for any reason, there is no ideal client, someone who is willing to explore their inner world and is committed to making positive changes in their life, might get the most out of working with me. If you struggle with issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or self-doubt, feel stuck or overwhelmed and may not know how to move forward or might just be looking to develop as a person.

In my therapeutic practice, I combine person-centred approaches with developmental and attachment theories. I specialise in working with children who have limited verbal communication skills and in some cases therapy for non-verbal children. I integrate art, play, movement, role play, and storytelling into my work with young people and children. By employing a wide range of creative techniques, I aim to engage and connect with each child individually, fostering their personal growth and self-expression. My passion lies in helping and supporting children in their journey to become the best versions of themselves. .

Hi, I’m Siobhan the counsellor here at Helping Hands Therapy which was created with you in mind. Every person who is struggling with their mental health, has maybe had a challenging life experience, a bereavement or past trauma that has left them in pain and hurting. Overwhelming feelings happen to us all at some point and they can be extremely hard to cope with especially when left unaddressed. Facing these feelings and seeking therapy can feel like a really big step however it can also be the start of the healing process needed and i would love to walk alongside you on that path.

Are you exhausted and overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of emotions you’re experiencing? Whether it's difficult family relationships or painful romantic relationships, I understand the shame and exhaustion that comes with never quite feeling good enough. If you have struggled with your mental and emotional wellbeing for a while and are losing that little spark of hope, I can support you to feel more in control and help you begin to develop healthy ways of managing situations that you find overwhelming.

Hi I have been working with clients for over 12 years, offering confidential counselling sessions (face to face/on-line) for a range of issues. I aim to provide a ‘safe space’ to talk about life challenges and goals. I believe very much in the importance of offering warmth and understanding and place a great deal of emphasis on developing a trusting therapeutic relationship with all my clients. If you need to explore new perspectives, options or coping strategies then please contact me to discuss your needs. I am here to help when life gets tough. I can also offer clinical supervision to qualified/trainee counsellors.

My way of working is somewhat dependent on you and your wants from a therapy space. I am trained to work with CBT, person-centred and attachment based therapy. I have done additional training in: Somatic Abolitionism, Emotional Regulation Skills and CBT adapted to work with those that self-define as autistic. I have worked with many clients and believe therapy works best by meeting the client where they are and towards what they identify they need. I work openly with race and other forms of systemic oppression in therapy and support clients from minoritised identities to explore this in therapy.
