Attachment-based Counselling in Haywards Heath

You might be feeling anxious and stressed at the moment or looking for support for something that has been an issue for a long time. I will create a space for you to explore things you might not have been able to speak about before. I have a wide experience base as the foundation to my private practice. This includes Psychiatric rehabilitation, drug and alcohol treatment services, eating disorders, acute adolescent psychiatric inpatient settings and work with children and young people in the care system. I work integratively which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models to create a care plan that best fits your needs.

Personal crisis and suffering provide opportunities for self-awareness and for supporting you in discovering patterns of behaviour and their underlying causes. Regardless of the intensity of your dilemma or the depth of your distress, I help you to stand back and explore your inner world. Gaining greater insight, discovering new perspectives, finding acceptance and emotional resolution from your suffering. I specialise in anxiety, abuse, trauma and addiction, areas that are so often interlinked. If you would just like to ask a question in confidence or make an arrangement to meet in person or online, please make contact.

Hello, I am Jo and I am a child-centred play therapist. I offer a playful and safe environment with the relationship at the heart of the therapeutic process. Through this nurturing and dynamic relationship, I work with children to understand and make sense of their experiences, feelings, thoughts and behaviours. I come from a background of over 20 years of teaching and working in schools and with families. I am now passionate about building a trusting therapeutic alliance and safe space for children to explore and process feelings and experiences.

Hello and welcome to my personal page. I understand that, at times, life can be tough. We can all feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Life events or circumstances may have caused you to feel lost, sad, frightened, angry or panicky. You may be having negative thoughts. Are you experiencing work-related stress, medical/health issues or having difficulty with communication or relationships? Do you think you may have dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or possibly autism/Asperger's? Everyone's story and reason for seeking therapy is different and it can take courage to ask for help.

Could counselling be the support you need at the moment to improve some of the issues you are experiencing? If you are feeling alone, overwhelmed or confused about the pandemic, parenthood, work, a bereavement or other life experiences or relationships, I can offer Face to Face, zoom or phone counselling to explore this.

Thanks for stopping at my profile. I'm a qualified Psychotherapist & member of the BACP, UKCP & EMDR Association UK, based in Hove, Worthing & Haywards Heath (and online). I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental & empathic stance, and challenge where appropriate. My role is to help you understand the issues you bring to therapy, including your past experiences, determining patterns that haven't served you well & the reasons behind your distress. I assist you in altering unhelpful patterns to alleviate your emotional pain & work towards making the life changes that you want, while gaining more positive experiences of the world.

My approach is to offer a safe and non-judgemental space in which you can explore the experiences in your life that are causing you difficulty, or those areas that you wish to take a deeper look at in order to understand more fully. There are no areas or issues that are excluded from our therapy sessions and I will meet you with compassion and curiosity, inviting a present moment exploration of your feelings, thoughts and experiences.

I specialise in working with women with issues such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, work-related stress, fertility, menopause, bereavement, divorce, anxiety, depression or simply a deep sense that something isn't quite right. Are you feeling adrift, frustrated, or misunderstood? Do you feel your needs, desires, or personal boundaries are less important than those of others? Do you struggle to feel pleasure or personal pride, ending up feeling hurt without really knowing why? If so, I understand you and I can help you to feel safe, heard, grounded, insightful and equipped - not just to manage in life, but to thrive.

I am a qualified experienced counsellor working with Adults and Children on a wide range of presenting issues.

I provide a safe and secure place to discuss issues and look for long-term solutions to increase your mental wellbeing. Whether you are stressed, anxious or depressed and for whatever reason, you are looking for help now, finding an accredited therapist is the first step to feeling better.

Life's ebbs and flows can bring up a mixture of emotions, experiences and sensations. Sometimes we know what is going on and our coping strategies work well. And sometimes we feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed with no clear path in front of us. I offer a compassionate and respectful space where we can work together to explore where you find yourself in life right now, identify the patterns that you might want to shift, bring some attention and care to the issues that are important to you, and identify the goals you'd like to reach at the pace that feels right for you.

Hello and a warm welcome. Making the decision to see a therapist is a big step, but it can be a positive one. As an experienced, Humanistic Integrative Therapist registered with the BACP, my aim is to be alongside you and listen without judgement, whilst helping you explore at your own pace, whatever difficulties you maybe facing. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Or perhaps you are experiencing low self esteem, stress or burnout because your work/life balance isn’t what you’d like it to be? Equally, you may want to work through some important life changes and evaluate your next steps.

Hi, I am Lindsey, a BABCP accredited CBT therapist based in Uckfield, East Sussex and online. Experiencing times when we feel low or anxious is normal. In fact it’s a great sign that we’re human! There are times in our lives though when how we are feeling gets in the way of living the life we want. This may be in response to challenging or traumatic events that we’ve experienced in life but not always. Even some of the best moments in life can give rise to anxiety.

As I work relationally and with unconscious processes I work well with any presenting issues that are related to attachment. These may be experienced as anxiety, depression, OCD, bereavement issues, substance use etc. You may have difficulties forming meaningful lasting relationships or have recognised a pattern in things going wrong in your life which make you unhappy. You may have current issues with your children that are echoing past hurts of your own that need attending to. I can help you to explore these issues within the safe and holding relationship that we can create together.
