We will work collaboratively within a
relationship
of equals power dynamics to explore the issues you bring, as we move towards improving your wellbeing, self esteem and relationships.
I believe we all hold the power to heal ourselves. It takes courage to face our discomfort & uncertainties from our past that may leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Therapy can support a variety of issues you may be struggling with alone. Sometimes we could all use a little support to get through and make some changes. Identifying & releasing your worries, emotional blocks & unhelpful patterns can help you to move forward in a positive direction. My role is to work with your unique process & guide you to reconnect with your own healing energy to achieve your goals from a place of calm and clarity with more self confidence.

Sometimes painful memories, strong feelings and intrusive thoughts become too overwhelming to manage. When this happens, it's not unusual to feel anxious, low in mood or just aware of feeling "stuck". You might be thinking "what's happening to me", and with no apparent answer, this can make things can feel unpleasant, destabilised or even frightening. Or you might feel that something more specific, like a bereavement,
relationship
breakdown or traumatic experience have made life seem more of a struggle and less of a pleasure. This is often the point when we seek help from someone.

Mostly though I work with building a mutual trust based
relationship
to give a foundation to our journey together.
I have been practising as a Counsellor for 15 years, qualifying with a MSc (Hons). I am registered with BACP. I developed my practice whilst working in Inner City London, for the NHS in a large health centre alongside the mental health team. I am now in private practice. I have developed a creative approach to my work over the years, as I have a Jungian approach with a broad knowledge of integrated counselling styles. I see clients as people with problems and not just the labels. I am aware that the first step in seeking counselling can seem daunting. If you wish to talk, I am here.

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space in which we can develop a therapeutic
relationship
based on trust and safety, where you can feel truly seen and heard.
Deciding to seek therapy can seem like a daunting process. Not only are you bravely taking steps to face the challenges in your life, you are choosing to share your unique story, perhaps for the first time, with a complete stranger. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety,
relationship
difficulties, life transitions, or another form of distress in the complex spectrum of human suffering, or maybe you want to discover more of who you are. Whilst not aiming to solve your problems, I hope to help you develop greater self-awareness, understanding and acceptance, developing resilience, uncovering new meaning and potential for change.

It could be you have recently hit a tough time in your life and need a space to make sense of it. It might be that a
relationship
has become difficult; with your
partner
, at work with colleagues, with your children or close family members. You may be suffering symptoms of anxiety and depression and you are finding it harder to function in daily life. It may be that you are transitioning from one stage to another in your life; leaving home, starting a family or approaching retirement and you need somewhere to work through some of the feelings of anxiety, fear and uncertainty that such a change can bring.

Hello I am an experienced and fully registered Psychotherapist. I will work with you to help you to work through and aleviate the difficulties you are facing. I work to support positive mental health by engaging clients in a thorough process where together we can come to understand and deal with the often very painful and distressing symptoms you may be experiencing. Often these come in the form of depressions, anxieties, anger, addictions and
relationship
difficulties. For more information on the Psychotherapeutic process and how it works and helps please see my website.

I work psychodynamically, where the therapeutic
relationship
is at the core, allowing for a supportive space in which change can take place.
At different stages in our lives, we encounter difficulties that prevent us from fully enjoying life. It can be anything from anxiety and depression, to the loss of a person (through death or
relationship
breakdown), to deeply rooted emotional issues (such as low self-esteem or inability to form relationships). Other times, we are unable to fully explain what is troubling us - we just know that something is. Asking for help can be difficult - finding the right kind of help and support can be more challenging. With each person and difficulty being unique, I tailor my approach to suit each client's needs and communication style.

Challenging feelings such as anxiety or depression can be completely natural responses to life's difficulties. But sometimes these feelings can overwhelm us, and take a huge toll on our quality of life. I support people to work through difficult times and find new ways of living. Many people who contact me are struggling with a particular issue, such as
relationship
problems, work stress, addiction, bereavement, low self-esteem or trauma. Others report a general feeling of being lost, stuck, a dissatisfaction with life or a lack of direction. Therapy can be the perfect place to process and work through these difficulties.

You may want to talk about anxiety, addiction or depression; you may be looking to cope with some life event such as a bereavement, divorce, redundancy or a
relationship
problem; or you might be feeling stuck in a rut and that you want more out of life. You will be able to explore what might lie behind the feelings you're experiencing, or what might lie behind certain thoughts or behaviours that you're not finding helpful. All these things can be helped and supported by talking confidentially.

Hi, I am Julie and been practising with people from all over the world since 2013, working in English or French. I offer a non-judgemental, warm and reflective space in which to build emotional and psychological resilience. Are you suffering from anxiety or depression? Feeling 'different' from others, due to your hypersensitivity? Have you been diagnosed with, or worry about, ADHD or bipolar disorder? Are you in a toxic
relationship
? Extremely lonely? Are you struggling professionally or socially? Therapy will help you understand yourself better and find the inner resources to heal and develop from wherever you are today.

I’m a counselling therapist based in Hove, Brighton & Maidstone, Kent. I specialise in addiction but work with many other issues too including
couples counselling
. I firmly believe clients should be encouraged to shop around which is why I offer a 50% discount on the first session. We will explore & endeavour to shed new light on your way of being in the world, thus far, & how your past has informed your sense of self in the present & how you might want to enhance your life still further by bringing yourself out of the shadows & into the light? We don’t see the world as it is but as we; so who are we, really?

Using the body and discreet interoception - the sense that helps us understand and feel what's going on inside our bodies attuning to your needs in our therapeutic
relationship
.
Life presents a multitude of events, challenges and obstacles, that at times can be difficult to surmount. Each person meets these with different perspectives and emotions; these differences are part of what makes us human. Another vital part of being human is the need for connection and to share what we are experiencing, to help make sense of our existence. But if you're feeling overwhelmed and resources are depleted, it can be hard to find space to reflect and find a way through.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
