Personality Disorders Counselling in Lincoln
Welcome to my profile - My name is Cat and I'm an expert in developmental trauma and personality difficulties. These can lead to a range of mental health needs that I can support you with (like anxiety, anger, risky behaviours, psychosis...) and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use, relationship struggles, and on. My approach is to understand the 'why', to get the root cause of difficult experiences so that we know how to improve it. We will work on identifying unhelpful coping strategies and replace these with healthy ones so we can work on developing the life that you want.

Hi. I am qualified in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy and Clinical Supervision.
Whether your feelings are connected to a recent loss, breakdown in a relationship, anxiety related to work/studies, trauma, abuse or addiction – psychotherapy has the potential to help you. As a qualified psychotherapist, I provide a safe space where you can explore your feelings, memories and experiences, understanding the unconscious defences you’ve used to protect yourself in your everyday life. Together, we will make sense of them and work towards helping you find new and alternative ways of coping in the future.

Hello, my name is Lisa . I am an experienced Private Psychotherapist who has previously practiced in the NHS. Many of the clients I see are not able to pinpoint what is wrong but know they feel confused and unhappy without understanding why. However you are feeling just now, things can change in time with the right support. Talking to a psychotherapist who is trained to help you make some sense of what is concerning you is the first step towards feeling better. The most important thing is for you to feel safe and comfortable with whoever you choose. This trust will encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings more freely.

I believe listening empathetically to your specific individual experiences and thoughts, enables a deeper understanding of why you may be feeling depressed, anxious, lonely and lack direction or purpose in your life. If you have experienced the trauma of abuse or neglect, you may be feeling isolated from others and carry a sense of shame about who you are. I have fifteen years of experience creating individualised approaches centred around the individual needs of people who are experiencing psychological difficulties.

Have you ever felt like your mind is a ball of string, tangled and in need of gentle untangling?
Maybe you’re at a point in your life where you’d benefit from a pause button, or just a quiet moment to simply be. If that resonates, then you’re in the right place.
I understand that taking the first step towards seeing a therapist can be one of the hardest and most vulnerable moments, and my aim is to make that step feel safe, supported, and met with warmth and trust.
I also work with the Connections Model, seeing each individual as a whole, mind, body, emotion, and soul by exploring how different parts of ourselves connect.

Most people come to me when they have reached a point where insight alone is not enough. They are successful, capable and often appear very composed whilst privately they are overwhelmed with anxiety (often with a financial aspect), relational conflict, burnout, identity shifts, or long standing patterns they cannot seem to change. They have tried managing, coping and pushing through but something deeper needs to be understood.
If this is where you find yourself, you are not alone and we can navigate this together.
I work well with adults who are reflective and ready to understand themselves at depth.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. Many clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, stressed, or frustrated with patterns they can’t seem to change.

People often want a safe, down-to-earth space where they can talk openly and make sense of what’s going on. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understand their emotions, and build practical tools they can use in everyday life. I work collaboratively, at your pace.

I'm an AuDHD counsellor specialising in neurodivergence and trauma. I understand how being ND can present challenges that are often unseen, stigmatised, or internalised, causing emotional harm. I see you. I can help you with self-exploration and processing the painful experiences you no doubt have had - especially for those who are identified/diagnosed later in life. I also specialise in trauma, in particular, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect in childhood. I recognise the complex deep-rooted trauma this causes. Together, we can gently explore & process the impact of abuse across the lifespan.

What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
