Chronic Illness Counselling in Loughborough

Perhaps you are currently dealing with sadness in your life, challenging ongoing feelings or experiences; maybe feeling overwhelmed? You might have a new personal issue or difficulty that has occurred for you, or you could be battling historical events and may have consequently been feeling this way for a very long time. The decision to make contact with a counsellor or psychotherapist can be a very challenging one, and takes great courage, especially if it's the first time.

I’m Dr. Bavister (call me Catherine), a Clinical Psychologist with the HCPC. If you’re looking for some help with your mood, behaviours, relationships, then psychological therapy may be a good fit for you. In therapy, I aim to offer a friendly, nonjudgemental space, where we can get stuck in to understanding how you tick, to work through the problems you bring. You might have a clear idea of what you want, but I otherwise draw on various therapy approaches to personalise strategies so you can do what works for you, to make the changes you need.

Are you experiencing difficult thoughts and feelings such as anxiety, depression, anger and/or sadness? Do you perhaps find it hard to talk about what is going on for you with people around you including your loved ones? You may be noticing that the way you are coping is not helping you to feel better in the long term. I strongly believe that everyone deserves a chance to learn how to manage difficult things that are going on for them, and to move forward to a place where they can feel positive and their mind is at ease. I can work with you collaboratively, and help you to achieve your goals.

I will endeavour to help you with the difficulties you experience. Whether you are experiencing alcohol and/or drugs becoming problematic, or the impact of surviving adult/child abuse, or living with depression and anxiety or, as a veteran, endeavouring to cope with bad memories, or perhaps just feeling lost and aimless after children leave home or reaching a crossroads in your home or working life. I will support your personal journey towards exploring and discovering inner strengths and abilities, so you feel more confident, empowered and able to move forward.

Finding a therapist starts with you and your needs. You may arrive with a sense of overwhelm, loss or anxiety, perhaps desiring change but without knowing how or believing you can. We can work together to explore how you feel, think and behave, and find a way to bring you back to your authentic self. I am able to work with adults and older teenagers (16+), as well as those training to be Psychotherapists themselves, and have a broad experience of short and long term work, presenting issues and ages, diagnoses and personalities.

Hello, my name is Victoria. It can be difficult to take the first brave step towards seeking counselling, especially when confronted with frightening and overwhelming feelings from the past or present. Do you feel as if no one sees or hears you, or are you overwhelmed by experiences and emotions you don't understand? Is the critical inner voice overly loud at times? This may be a difficult place to be, especially if you feel alone. You do not have to feel isolated and lost; it is more comfortable to be beside someone when things are challenging.

Deciding to come for counselling can be a hard decision to make however, it can be very beneficial in improving how you think and feel about the difficulty that you are experiencing enabling you to find a solution that best suits your needs. My aim is to offer a service that is unique to you by actively listening to your concerns in a safe environment that is genuine, understanding and accepting: I acknowledge that it takes courage to ask for this support. I have worked with a variety of different clients, all in different ways, where I endeavour to meet their needs just as I would endeavour to meet yours.

People seek therapy for many different reasons and at different times in their lives. I am keen to discuss your individual needs with you. I invite you to explore with me in a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental space, your current difficulties. I have experience of working with people attending counselling for many different reasons including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, issues in the workplace, trauma, ASD and ADHD.

I offer counselling to individuals (plus Young People age 14-18 years) and am open to exploring together your issues.

I work with individuals 18 & over and am a fully trained couples counsellor. I have helped many clients in getting back to work on the EAP (employee assistance programme) and with privately funded sessions.

Many of my clients have previously seen a lot of mental health professionals and are still struggling to cope with their ongoing psychologically symptoms. They have never dared hope that a “normal” life is possible without having to be constrained by the constant chatter in their head. They have put up with many toxic relationships work issues and family issues all in the belief that this is as good as it gets for them. To be able to be in control and manage their psychological symptoms in all situations is the goal of most of my patients which enables them to lead their best life.

I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help. This is why I offer a no cost first session to see if you can feel comfortable with me. I am very experienced and approachable and I have helped many people get through difficult times. Anxiety can feel overwhelming. It can lead to physical symptoms of panic, nervous tension, sweating and breathlessness and it can be difficult to think clearly. "What-if" thinking takes over and negativity sets in. I can help you break out of this cycle of doubt by working on restoring your coping skills.

Hello and welcome to Here counselling. It’s not easy choosing a therapist to help. I understand this step can be daunting but it is a positive sign that you are ready to think about the issues that you are battling with. People seek therapy for many different reasons. There is no problem too big or too small. Every worry and concern is valued and treated with confidentiality and respect. Whatever the problem, I am committed to providing you with emotional support when you need it the most. Importantly it’s a time for you. A chance to be heard and understood.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am a Health Psychologist and Co-Director of Concussion Rebalanced; a private neurorehabilitation provider offering comprehensive assessment and treatment of ongoing symptoms following a head injury. I specialise in working with clients who have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and who may be struggling with a combination of physical, cognitive, and emotional difficulties as a result.

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy or distressed. Due to stigma; people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access counselling whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors; adults and children; and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

As an integrative counsellor I take a flexible approach to your therapy needs; be they goal-led, strategic, meditative, creative - or all of these. I work one-to-one and with small groups - at your home, work or social setting - and by telephone.
