We all have times in our life where we may need the support of our family and friends to help us get through. Sometimes though seeking professional support of a counsellor is beneficial to enable you to discuss and work through things you may feel unable to discuss with friends and family. I can work with you on a number of life problems in a way that suits your needs. I will help you become more in touch and aware of feelings, thoughts and barriers in your life. I believe that the counselling relationship is important and work in a way that is beneficial to helping you become more self-aware, authentic and able to move forward.

My work with young people is often child/teen led with sessions adapted to suit, for example
play therapy
/ creative exploration for younger children/teens.
Young people: Are you experiencing feelings of lowness, anxiety, worry but often not knowing or understanding where those feelings are coming from. Being able to think/talk about these difficulties in a safe confidential space can be helpful. Alternatively it may be an issue that is known/ difficult experiences in your life in the present or past. Sometimes we can be stuck with moving past these issues or difficulties. Counselling can help you move forward in thinking about useful strategies to help.

Approach Counselling & Coaching
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP Accred
Verified
After completion of my MA in Transpersonal /Integrative Child, Adolescents and Family Therapy in 2018, I now also take on children and adolescents, using
play
and art therapy as well as sand tray therapy to help to resolve trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and self harm.
My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

Sometimes coping with life can become problematic because situations may lead us along a difficult pathway.

I regard each person as an individual in their own right, so my practice aims to suit diverse clients' needs. I bring together a variety of techniques to support people with a range of issues.

Hi, I'm Tanya, I work with children aged 4 - 18 and their parents. I use arts and
play
as a vehicle for change. As a mother of 3, I understand first hand how challenging being a parent can be. I like to work with children and their families so their relationships can flourish. "We wouldn’t be where we are now if it wasn’t for you. You lit up my life and brought back my smile (Age 14)" "Thank you for all the support you have given us all. Thank you seems so insignificant compared to what you have done, but it is felt from the bottom of our hearts. — Parent".

Welcome. I know life can be overwhelming at times, and cause a great deal of distress. This presents in a multitude of ways, sometimes as unhelpful behaviours, or destructive patterns in relationships to others and with ourselves. Maybe you are searching for renewed purpose, depth, and meaning to your life, or trying to make sense of things after a profound loss that has ripped the ground from under you. Therapy can offer the space for growth and exploration, a shift in perspective, more clarity and a better more fulfilling relationship with yourself.

Many people think Counselling is something we need when we experience problems like anxiety, depression or overwhelming feelings of sadness, that challenge our coping mechanisms. However, in my view, Counselling should be seen in the same way as going to the hairdresser to get your emotional well-being shipshape. It is almost like trimming the dry split ends, to help you get emotionally healthy and ready for real-life again. Trimming the anxiety to a manageable length. Just like some people need a short back and sides haircut others might need a new hair colour. Whatever your needs, you will be allowed to share your feelings.

Counsellor, MBACP

Life can present us with many challenges. Sometimes, the thought of facing our difficulties alone can be overwhelming, but it may be hard to know where to turn for support. My aim as an Integrative Counsellor is to work collaboratively with you, drawing from a wide range of resources and therapeutic disciplines, to find the approach that feels right for you. Working together in this tailored way, we will be able to recognise your issues, identify your goals, and explore ways in which you may start moving towards a happier, peaceful and more fulfilled way of living.

Hi, my name is Helena and I am a person-centred counsellor. The basis of my work is that everyone has their own individual experience of their life events making each person unique. I have worked with people from all walks of life, some people had particular goals they had formed and wanted help achieving them. For others that I have worked with, they were people struggling because of early experiences, traumatic events and were trying to make sense of their world on a day-to-day basis.

Play Therapy Counsellors
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counselling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behaviour and identify issues.
