Hi I’m Kirsty I have been a qualified counsellor for over 7 years and specialise in working with Young People. My approach is to co create a relationship with you that enables you to speak about whatever you choose. I am able to offer a non judgemental, welcoming presence so you are able to explore any thoughts, feelings and experiences that you wish too. I believe that as individuals we are all unique and hold the capacity to gain new insights. This can encourage personal growth and development within us that can lead to change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is there to facilitate such experiences.

Are you experiencing an issue that is having an effect on your mood or day to day life, and feel unsure about how to resolve this alone? If so I may be able to help. Are you feeling depressed, anxious or having family and relationship issues? Are you a new parent struggling emotionally? Have you been affected by emotional or sexual abuse ? These are all very common difficulties that many of us experience at some point in our lives, you are not alone. As your counsellor I will pride myself on working in a way to suit your needs and go at your pace. This is your therapeutic space and you can use it to talk about what you want.

Have you ever heard; I know what you're feeling! You're doing things wrong! You're making a fuss of nothing! You should try this! Someone else is worse off......sound familiar? With the growing stresses of modern life it's often difficult to know who you can turn to in a time of self need, without any judgement. That is where I come in. I provide a safe and secure environment for you to discuss your thoughts and feelings whilst reflecting upon where you are and where you want to be. I work integratively, meaning I take a number of different counselling theories and practices and combine them into the best therapy plan for you.

Maybe you are struggling at present to understand why things are the way they are? Sometimes we can all get stuck in patterns of relating, both with ourselves and others, that are not the most helpful or productive. Sometimes this means our relationships might suffer, or our life, career and family choices. Having therapy with an experienced practitioner can help you. Therapy is about building a shared understanding of what you are facing. If you are struggling with trauma, family issues, career issues, relationships, abuse , coping difficulties, I can help. I am also happy working with children and adolescents

I’m an experienced Counselling Professional who can help shape your perspective into a healthy and productive one. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, or anything else that’s important to you, I’ll help you develop the habits and skills to effectively deal with the challenges and emotional moments you may encounter in life. To learn how to manage and overcome certain aspects of your life is to become your own therapist.

I believe experiencing difficulties is part of being human and something we all encounter at various points during our lifetime. What gets in the way of living life more fully - relationships with friends/family/partner becoming strained; experiencing a traumatic incident; growing up in an environment which didn’t feel nurturing and supportive or which hurt you physically or sexually; someone you loved or cared for has died; living with chronic illness; feeling stressed at work or as parent; reaching a pivotal age and being unsure about the future; needing to make a decision but finding it hard; feeling ‘off’ and not being sure why.

Hi, I'm Michelle, I am an Integrative psychotherapist currently working online. Working online allows clients from all areas access to therapy without limitation. My aim is to build a solid therapeutic relationship with you, which involves building trust and securing a safe space for you as an individual, to feel comfortable to discuss whatever you wish, without judgement. You can move at your own pace, and discuss any feelings and experiences which may be uncomfortable to discuss with others, when you are ready.

Do you have emotional or psychological issues that have been holding you back, maybe for longer than you care to remember? Do you wish to take back control of your life? If the answer is 'yes' this can be your future. I offer a non invasive solution based modality in a calm, safe and secure environment. I also offer a more conventional integrative counselling too, having been very fortunate to learn from someone with 25 years experience in the field, of what works and what doesn't. My own work and personal experience have confirmed this and I wish to share my knowledge and success with you. Feel free to call and find out more.

My name is Adama and I am a Person-Centred Integrative Counsellor. Sometimes in life, we hit a crisis point and it can be a scary experience. We find ourselves dealing with issues that can cause extreme emotional pain or issues that makes us feel uncomfortable. We feel lost, trapped and we feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. However, going through these experiences also shows that we are human beings, that sometimes we need help. Sometimes, all that we need is someone who supports us and respects our views. Unsurprisingly, the idea of counselling can be quite daunting, especially when we don’t know what to expect.

Being able to talk to a non-judgemental counsellor in a safe confidential environment can be a very therapeutic experience, allowing difficulties to be unpacked, worked through and resolved. I have over 11 years experienced as BACP registered counsellor who works with adults, couples and young people. I have developed an integrative skills set which includes transpersonal psychotherapy, nature based eco-psychology & creative art & play therapy, attachment focused therapy, relationship counselling, mindfulness-based stress reduction.

Sometimes the world sometimes throws up huge challenges just as we're really struggling inside too, from debilitating conditions such as anxiety or depression. At times like this, our normal coping strategies may fail, dragging in heavy self-criticism and/or destructive behaviours. Some of us find ourselves moving from high anxiety by reaching for something big - food/drink/gambling/shopping//sex/porn/obsessive tidying etc - to get rid of it. The shame of the fix can quickly restart the anxiety and so the cycle starts again. But there is another way.

Are you feeling anxious or suffering from a low mood? Perhaps you are experiencing relationship problems or struggling to find your own identity? Having a safe, supportive space where you can explore these issues can be a useful way of finding closure and developing self-awareness. I work with individuals who are over 18 and who wish to explore their challenging emotions. For an informal chat about counselling and what it can offer, please give me a call. There is no obligation to continue and I am happy to help. My private practice is based in Ipswich and off-road parking is available.

I believe our childhood experiences form who we are in our adult relationships, we carry with us the traumas we experience in our lives, these can manifest themselves as psychological and physiological problems, we have to survive so we bury the unpleasant feelings, they are buried alive and want to get out, we suffer, experiencing anxiety, depression, mental and physical illness, the internal and external voices are overwhelming. Counselling is an opportunity to address these feelings, to sit with emotions that may be unfamiliar. I know counselling can help because I have seen many individuals break the cycle.

Are you struggling with self harm? Do you feel you have problems relating to depression or low self esteem? My name is Leanne Scott and my main field of specialties are mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and all levels of depression as well as self harm, including (but not exclusive too) cutting, burning, breaking bones, object insertion and partial and or actual removal of limbs or body part. I feel my uniqueness in this field lies not only in my knowledge of these mental health problems and self harming behaviours but that I work with clients to help them recover in ways that are tailor made for them.

Life can be extremely challenging, particularly in these current strange times! Anxiety and depression are more prevalent than ever at the moment. As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon a number of theories and styles to support you in therapy enabling me to work in the best possible way to suit your needs. However, despite these different approaches, it is the relationship which has been found to be the most important factor in facilitating change. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and empathic relationship, which is based upon trust and sensitivity, to enable you to explore concerns from the past, present or future.

I am an Integrative counsellor, Life Coach and NLP practitioner. I believe every client is unique and I like to work together with my clients to help them untangle their pasts and look forward to a brighter future. I will never judge you or your decisions, I understand life is never black and white and most of us do the best we can with the resources available to us. I have a fully accessible counselling room and toilet. I understand the importance of feeling safe and so I will work with you to make the room comfortable for you.

Asking for help can be hard. You want someone to listen to you, but find the vast listings of counsellors available can make your head spin! My approach is simple. I have a passion for helping individuals and couples reach their full potential. My aim is to help you find a positive outcome no matter what the problem is. No matter how deep you feel you have sunk, there is always a way back up. I use common sense in my approach and trust that it is the counselling relationship, not ‘psychobabble’ that will prove fundamental to the counselling process. It is completely possible for you to feel so much better than you do right now!

There are so many different reasons for starting to seek help. Whatever the challenge or reason for seeking counselling we can talk about it. Counselling is a confidential space where anything can be explored. I am there to listen, not to judge or offer solutions. I can draw on my training in the broad range of psychological approaches to aid the exploration of the challenge. You are the expert. We will work together to explore what’s going on for you, it will give you new perspective. A perspective which will enable you to make choices which fit you.

Life can sometimes be difficult and we may find ourselves struggling and feeling anxious, depressed and unconfident. We may find ourselves battling with the feelings evoked by loss, due to bereavement, relationship breakdown or even the children leaving home. Counselling is not a magic cure, but talking to an empathic, skilled therapist can help; fostering both the processing of difficult feelings and resilience to better deal with what life throws at us, enabling us to move forward. The effect of just being listened to by those who have hitherto struggled to be heard can be both powerful and empowering.
