In Person Counselling in Kings Langley

Life is complicated, sometimes full of challenges which can become easier to cope with when someone non-judgemental really listens to you, enabling you to navigate a way forward. I am able to offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore whatever difficulties you may be facing. I offer both short term therapy and longer open-ended work, the choice is yours. Each client is unique and I work according to your needs. I specialise in young people and adults, coping with the complexities life can throw, often causing anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Have you experienced distress and upset or loss ? Unresolved issues that trouble you ? Do you suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, PTS or depression ? Do you want to feel differently about the life you live or the person that you are. Perhaps you want to change aspects of you life for it to be more rewarding. Maybe you know that things are unlikely to change. Do you require a safe space where you can be heard, a place to share your thoughts and be understood. A place where being you is good enough. If you are 16 years old or heading into your 99th year, wanting to explore your world then it would be a privilege to support you.

Asking for help is not an easy step to take. The prospect of sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone else is quite a leap of faith and if you have not experienced counselling before you may be wondering what to expect. I would like to offer you a comfortable space where we can talk and get to know each other; and when you are ready, we can start to explore and make sense of your thoughts and personal difficulties, working entirely at your own pace. By exploring our past experiences and relationships we can often gain a new and fresh perspective on our issues which can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Whatever you are struggling with just now, you are not alone. Taking the first step towards finding help can be daunting but I am here to listen to your concerns and to provide a free initial conversation to help decide if I am the right person for you.  I offer a calm and confidential space where you can feel safe to explore your feelings and make sense of any issues that are troubling you or causing you pain.

Life and relationships can sometimes have us feel like we are being tossed around in a stormy sea. How to cope, wondering who I am or why does this keep happening to me can often be questions we ask ourselves. Sometimes it’s not appropriate or possible to talk with those close to you, and so having someone like a counsellor may be of help at this time. You may not know why you feel this way, and that’s ok too, we can work this out together. My own personal journey, I feel, has provided me the compassion and understanding of what it can be like when faced with times of despair, seemingly impossible situations, and self-doubt.

Hello and thanks for looking at my profile. I am a qualified counsellor and have worked from my private practice based on the outskirts of Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley since I qualified in 2009. During this time I have worked with many hundreds of clients offering long and short term counselling. I have gained wide experience working with many presenting issues including but not limited to : anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss or bereavement, anger or difficult relationships. Feelings of disconnection from self and others, or feeling disillusioned with life; lacking purpose and meaning.

As an experienced Psychotherapist & Supervisor, I work with warmth, sensitivity and compassion, fully accepting and being present to your unique situation. I realise beginning therapy can feel daunting, but finding someone you feel able to talk to and share your thoughts and feelings with, can bring immense relief; offering you a pathway towards being able to cope better and lead a more contented life. Perhaps you're struggling with depression or anxiety related disorders, experiencing relationship difficulties or have memories of past trauma or a difficult childhood which are impacting on your ability to cope with day to day life?

I am a person-centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). There are times in life when people can experience unmanageable or emotionally overwhelming feelings and behaviours or maybe a trauma that may persist even if there is support from friends and loved ones. I encourage my clients to fully explore their experiences and help them accept who they are and what is out of their personal control, so they can better understand their current situation and improve their lives.

Difficult feelings can be hard to manage on your own, maybe this is due to a recent event or a feeling you have been struggling with for some time. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, addictions, relationship problems and low self-esteem.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to who is detached from the people we interact with on a daily basis. If you are looking for a safe space to reflect on the issues that you currently face and need a professional to help you to make sense of your experience and find a way forward, then therapy might help. I offer one-to-one therapy online or face-to-face (office in Bushey), depending on your needs and have experience working with a range of issues including: relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, bereavement, working with past trauma/abuse, as well as end of life counselling.

Hello I'm Emma, an Integrative therapeutic counsellor who has experienced myself how therapy can support the most difficult times we experience in life. I will come alongside you and together we can take the steps which are important to you. Whether it's the pain of grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression or you just feel lost or in a rut. Stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, or patterns of behaviour that you want to change. I believe there are times we all need support to understand ourselves and look at how we perceive a changing world and where we fit into it.

I am a qualified adult psychotherapeutic counsellor working in counselling services, healthcare settings, and private practice, in London and Hertfordshire. I aim to support my clients with their emotional and psychological health using a select combination of talking and body-based (somatic) approaches and techniques. Through support and guidance you will be invited in the sessions, at a pace which feels right and appropriate for you, to explore and process your thoughts, feelings and emotions. This exploration can take place through talking and through other body-based (somatic) and mindfulness-based activities and interventions.

You may be going through a time of difficulty or distress. Or perhaps there is some dissatisfaction in your life and you have lost a sense of purpose or direction. My aim is to help you reflect on what is troubling you, help you to seek an understanding of what you are experiencing and work with you to explore what options there are at this difficult time. I offer both short-term work (based on 12 sessions) or where appropriate sessions based on an open-ended long-term basis

I am an experienced advanced qualified psychodynamic counsellor. My client base ranges from adolescents through to the older adult. I offer a safe, ethical and professional environment whereby present day life situations can be thought about in relation to felt anxieties. I draw upon my professional expertise to help explore what as yet may not be understood or known, but may be experienced personally as confusing and overwhelming. With exploration, patterns are understood and a new sense self awareness develops. With care, guidance, time, patience and practice a mental thinking space can start to be experienced.

As parents when our children are struggling we just want to help but often don’t know how. What they are facing can feel overwhelming but there is hope. Counselling provides children and young people with a safe space where they can explore, work things out, heal and move on from difficulties that they experience. Working with someone who is not a family member or friend, but who is supportive, non-judgmental and accepting, who helps us make sense of what we are going through and move forward, can be really beneficial. I aim to help young people accept and value themselves, raise their resilience, gain coping skills and thrive.

People often seek psychotherapy because they are feeling overwhelmed or are experiencing some kind of emotional pain. Issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self esteem, low self confidence or anger are often the symptoms of past traumas and experiences. I offer an opportunity to identify and overcome these, or other difficult feelings you may be experiencing. During a free initial 30 minute consultation we can establish if we are able to work together and whether counselling feels right for you. We can explore the reasons you have decided to seek support at this time and agree the focus of our sessions.

I'm here to support your personal growth and well-being journey. From self-esteem to relationships, family dynamics to life transitions, body image to loss, work stress, and existential concerns, I help adults develop healthier relationships with themselves and others who matter most.

You may be looking for a counsellor / psychotherapist because you feel low, unmotivated, stuck, confused or anxious. You may be grappling with a difficult situation in your life currently, or with something that has happened to you in the past. Perhaps you struggle with the dynamics in a close relationship or at work.
