Starting therapy is an important step. It is an opportunity to tackle your immediate concerns but also to understand them in the context of your life in general. It provides a space to creatively shape your life but also take your pain and struggle seriously. Therapy provides an opportunity to strengthen a sense of your own identity and worth and to experiment with how to take that into your relationships, career and life in general.

Hi and welcome, I am an experienced psychotherapist and coach. I work with young adults, adults & elders. Our initial session is to make sure that you are confident with me to continue (there is no obligation to do so) & also for me to understand a little about what brings you to therapy. I have had the privilege to work with many clients with complex issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship is very important. I also invite you to review the therapy regularly to ensure you are getting the most out of the sessions. When appropriate, I work creatively & with humour. If you have any questions please do contact me.

Counselling can be really helpful when you just need someone to talk to and it can offer so much more. When you are feeling like something is just not right or life seems so challenging, talking to a Counsellor can make the difference. Many people just want to feel better and get a sense of relief from the turmoil of life. It may be that a life event has really impacted on you, such as a bereavement, trauma or loss of a job. You may feel like the world just does not understand you or perhaps you are struggling to come to terms with your sexuality. There are many many different reasons why people choose counselling. We're all unique.
Matthew Gettins
Counsellor, MBACP

Hello, my name is Matthew and I am a counsellor based in the Havant area working from the Leigh Park Community Centre. I realise that counselling is a brave step to take with initially making the enquiry and then having the courage to attend the first session. I have had counselling in my life and being listened to seemed surreal at first. Friends and family had always given their opinions and reassurances, with the best of intentions at heart, yet being really listened to was ground-breaking for me. I aim to ease any anxiety by arranging an appointment as soon as possible so therapy can begin.

Are you or a child you care for going through a tough time? Maybe your child’s behaviour or feelings of overwhelm are causing real difficulties at home or at school? You might be feeling unsupported? If you feel you’ve reached the point where having someone to listen would help you or your teen then I provide a safe confidential space in which behaviours, feelings and relationships can be explored. You will experience the freedom to talk about and make sense of what is making you feel sad, mad, frustrated or anxious!

People come to counselling when their life is not going as they want it to be. With sensitive listening, empathy and gentle observation I can help you to become aware of what is troubling you and why. You may be having difficulties in one or more of a wide range of difficulties including anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, divorce and separation, family issues, guilt, loneliness, injury, loss and grief, low self esteem, relationship issues or stress. I can help you by really listening in a non-judgemental way and supporting you as you listen to yourself, which will lead to greater self-acceptance, understanding and resilience.

Walk-Talk Therapy: Do you want to re-connect with nature? To feel more grounded, mindful & to just slow down? We will walk in the beautiful woods and fields near my counselling room in the South Downs. Walking & being in nature releases endorphins which in turn reduces depression and anxiety. Life is often so busy that nature becomes removed - this will give you time to reconnect. For some people face to face traditional counselling is too anxiety provoking, so walking in parallel can feel more comfortable.

Counsellor, MBACP

Hi, I'm Pauline, a counsellor supporting people with a range of issues, from low self esteem, anxiety and stress , to people experiencing loss from a bereavement of a loved person or pet, or many of the other losses that life throws at us. Are you struggling to concentrate, to sleep? Worried how you will cope? Angry and or tearful? Do you feel anxious and don't know what the next step is? Have you lost your confidence, your identity? You may be feeling empty or sad, have feelings of denial or guilt or maybe relief. Being able to talk to someone outside your circle of family and friends can help.

Family and Systemic Psychotherapy can help individuals, couples and families. Helping people talk together about their relationships is what a Family Therapist does best. There are many factors that shape our thoughts, actions and beliefs about what we would like from our close relationships. Are you struggling to have a relationship with your teenager? As parents are you stuck with how to help your child with their worries or behaviour? Are you a couple who are feeling distant from one another and not having your needs met? Come talk AND listen together, to help find different ways to make changes in your relationships.

Are you feeling stuck? Your experience of life will be heard, understood and explored. We will work together to enable your needs to be met; for you to feel good about yourself and your life. We will work through any difficult emotions, including dread, fear, anger, anxiety, loss, guilt and shame, so that the 'real you' is able to live and enjoy your life.

My name is Marie Watkins. I am a counselling psychotherapist with 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings. I work with individuals offering short term, solution focused and longer term open ended therapy. In my own life I have experienced life events and challenges that have left me feeling overwhelmed, confused, lost and defeated. To have a sense of the way forward has felt, at these times, almost impossible. Modern day life can leave us all struggling to balance work, family and relationships resulting in us experiencing feelings of failure, self doubt and lack of confidence.
