Counselling in Malmesbury

I am a Havening Technique practitioner and qualified counsellor (www.havening.org), a quick and highly effective neuroscience technique. The Havening Techniques is a method, proven through science, which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. I have a long history of working with children/families/parents and carers. I believe that our relationship is key and my focus is based around understanding your needs and that I am led by your pace fuelled with passion, caring and empathy.

Coach + Mediator + Therapist "I am a passionate creative, and have committed a decade working therapeutically in private residential trauma clinics, the NHS, secondary schools and my own business Resonate Therapy LTD. I bring all the skills of a specialist trauma therapist, that has worked extensively with neurodiversity and complex needs. By harmonising together a robust psychologically informed somatic based therapy programme. I specialise in supporting building meta-perspective of individual and collective systems. Are you ready to shift your life on a cellular, neuroplastic dimension?"

I have more than 25 years' experience of working as a Clinical Psychologist and I have worked in both NHS and private practice settings. My work is with adults with a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss, as well as with individuals who want to make changes to the way they deal with their lives in order to improve their overall sense of well-being.

I offer a determination to understand and work through whatever is holding you back. I specialise in providing a steady, careful relationship where clients can be themselves.

You may be finding it difficult to cope, and feel alone? You may be struggling after a trauma or bereavement, separation, or with ill-health? Or maybe feel that your life is stuck, or lacking purpose? At times like these, counselling offers a space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, with someone who will strive to understand without judgement, & help you make sense of your feelings, find clarity, or make decisions. I offer all my clients Empathy, Congruence, and Unconditional Positive Regard. I also offer play, sand-tray, art and creative therapies to my younger clients. Home visits are available.

I am a fully qualified Humanistic & Integrative Counsellor able to help you through any of lifes difficulties. Life is all about 'Relationships'. How we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world around us. In our modern fast paced and demanding world we can lose touch with who we are as an individual. We can get pulled in different directions for varying reasons, either in our personal relationships or professional. Stress, Anxiety and Depression along with life events can prevent us from realising our full potential and drag and hold us back. Trauma's at anytime in life can feel overwhelming and all consuming.

If now is the right time to talk about something that is troubling you, please contact me. It may be that you are struggling with feelings of anxiety and low mood. Perhaps you have experienced loss or trauma and need to talk about this or maybe you just need to make some changes in your life. I understand that this step is not always an easy one, but I will listen without judgement and offer a safe, supportive environment to enable you to talk freely. Talking together can help to clarify things and find a way through. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and life stages, from young adulthood through to later life.

I offer Counselling and Supervision. My background is in education, providing support for students from Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form/College, and University. While working with a diverse range of people, I have received specialist training for working with students and adults with Autism, ADHD, Asperger's and challenging behaviour. I have also previously worked in a Specialist Autistic (SRP) unit. I also work with adults and those that have received a late diagnosis to help accept, adjust and make sense of this impact on their lives and that of their family.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Most people have experienced anxiety, stress or low moods at some point and often try to struggle through alone. Seeking professional help can feel daunting and takes courage to make that first call. I work with genuine care and empathy and offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental environment for you to explore what's troubling you with complete confidentiality.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or on edge? Do you criticise yourself or feel like you don't have the motivation to do the things you usually enjoy? Then Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT for short) might be the type of therapy for you. When we're experiencing anxiety or low mood people often describe feeling stuck in a vicious cycle. Using CBT we work together to understand what your cycle looks like and how we can break that cycle and create healthier habits and patterns of thinking. I am also qualified in delivering the Flash technique (an offshoot of EMDR) to work on and process traumatic or distressing memories.

Are you feeling overwhelmed not sure about your sense of self or direction? You might feel emotional and uncertain about a situation or person. It may be that you feel lost, have low self esteem or depressed and are struggling to understand how or why you feel this way. You may be experiencing distress, anxiety and emotion about a situation or managing a crisis or life changing event. Talking about these situations might seem daunting, however reaching out to talk could be what it takes to stop suppressing these concerns, which can help your well-being.
