Does life feel overwhelming, stressful and challenging? You may be finding yourself getting distracted worrying about your relationship, battling anxiety and depression, experiencing a bereavement , or struggling with your self-worth and confidence. You are here, taking that brave first step in looking for a counsellor, showing strength and determination to create positive change. My choice to become a counsellor came from my own personal experience of struggle. After attending therapy and working with a counsellor to understand my own experiences, I recognised the power of talk therapy in helping people heal.

Hi, I'm Jon, a person-centred therapist. I can offer a safe, accepting, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship in which I will walk alongside you as you explore and make sense of what you need to. I believe each person experiences life events in their own unique way. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers; our therapeutic relationship can facilitate you to find them. My approach is non-directive; the sessions will be yours own to go in the direction that you choose.

I offer Integrative counselling in Melton Mowbray this could be face to face in my room at the Melton Wellness Centre or Walk and Talk therapy for those who feel they would benefit from therapy outdoors. I also offer video and telephone counselling for anyone who is unable to travel to Melton Mowbray. Counselling offers you the time and safe space where you can be truly heard without judgement. I work with you to help you understand whatever it is you bring to therapy and how this is impacting you and your life. I have been working a counsellor and Mental health support worker since 2009, in varying supportive roles.

Therapy can be a great tool for restoring life balance and bringing about positive change. It can help you to understand more about yourself, your thoughts, and your emotions. Therapy could be beneficial if day to day life feels overwhelming or if you have difficult life experiences that you feel ready to explore. Perhaps you can be highly critical of yourself. You might regularly experience emotions that feel unmanageable and overpowering OR you may often find yourself entirely disconnected from how you’re feeling. You might want to learn more about yourself and your relationships with others.

I am one of the few Psychodynamic counsellor's practicing in the area which means among other things I work with past relationships and how they impact an individuals current life. We all need emotional support from time to time, many of us find parts of our lives difficult and we can't always turn to family and friends. It can be helpful to talk to someone in confidence who is impartial and non-judgemental. Some of the issues people come to counselling for include feelings of loss, low mood or worry, others may be having difficulty handling bereavement, separation and relationships at home and work.

I don’t believe there is a hierarchy of problems and you should only talk or get help for those regarded to be really bad such as abuse or a life changing event. To me anything that impacts your life and is important to you is worth talking about. If it takes away your peace or makes you feel confused, distracted, anxious or sad I feel you have the right to receive support to change things and so feel good about yourself. I strongly believe that there is support somewhere for everyone that needs it.

You’re here. That’s the first step. Maybe you’ve lost yourself within a current relationship or family role and need space to explore who you are and how you communicate that to those around you. Perhaps you have lost your confidence or self-esteem and need to find your way back to yourself. It could be that you have something specific you’d like to talk about, such as a bereavement or loss, or an event from the past you’d like to explore in more depth. Or maybe you don’t know what it is, but you know you just don’t feel right. And that’s ok too. You’re here now. And I’m here for you.

I understand that life can be overwhelming, but I’m here to guide you through those obstacles. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply through your journey with me, and get you back on track. My sessions are designed to unravel painful issues and provide you with effective tools to be able to heal. Taking action creates a sense of liberation and a feeling of letting go of the despair associated with insignificance and meaningless. It creates a feeling of growth and promotes the embracing of life and to exist with wonder and curiosity. I've been honoured to be endorsed by Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland and Source.

Welcome to my practice, where I bring together the precision of science and the warmth of compassion to facilitate profound self-exploration and enhance our understanding of relationships. I am an Integrative Therapist and Evolutionary Psychologist, dedicated to guiding individuals, families, and young minds on a journey of personal growth and connection. In my therapeutic approach, I firmly believe in the transformative power of blending scientific insights with empathetic understanding. By creatively combining these elements, we embark on a unique exploration into the intricacies of ourselves and the dynamics of our relationships.

I am an experienced Registered and Senior Accredited counsellor/psychotherapist I have 25 years experience and over 20,000 hours client sessions. I offer individual and couples counselling. I have extensive experience working for the NHS, heading up a therapy service in one of the largest GP Medical Practices in the UK. I now work from my home near OAKHAM. The first step is to meet me for an initial assessment session so that you ca decide if I am the right therapist for you and if so, we can consider how best to address the issues you are facing. I believe that the relationship is central to our work together.

I have over 35 years experience in school settings, as an educator and a counsellor, and I have volunteered in bereavement support for many years as well as having worked with male survivors of sexual abuse. I am a Person Centred therapist, so your needs and goals are placed at the heart of our work together. I have experience of working with teenagers and adults covering a wide range of topics and can support you with issues such anxiety, stress, loss, low mood, self- esteem and relationships. You will be accepted as you are, without judgment, and given a safe space where you will be listened to and heard.

Hello there. Well done for taking a brave, first step in considering counselling. I believe mental health is as important as physical health, and the two go hand in hand. I offer a welcoming, confidential, non-judgmental, quiet and safe space to help you make sense of what's troubling you. By offering emotional support and through exploring potentially overwhelming thoughts and feelings, you will gain perspective, build self-awareness, and find your own answers and solutions. This helps build confidence and resilience in the future. I do hope I will have the privilege in sharing in your life story during our time together.

There are always valid reasons for our difficulties: e.g. anxiety, despair, addiction, isolation, life transitions, anger, grief, trauma, worthlessness, domination, etc,. The counselling process enables us to meet, understand and repair these. It helps us to reclaim and strengthen our true authentic self, perhaps for the first time in a long time or ever. Working in this way with a counsellor allows you to heal in ways that are life enhancing and endure. Whatever causes you fear, harm and/or damage historically and/or now, can actually be harvested to transform your life.

Life can be challenging. It can be difficult opening up to someone about the worst that's happened to us, about the parts of ourselves we struggle with. For some dealing with trauma can impact how we treat others, having negative impacts on relationships & life. I’ve worked for over 25 years with those who’ve experienced complex trauma: who’ve lived/worked in conflict zones; been abused by family; struggle to emotionally regulate; have been abusive & with relationship breakdown. As a couple it’s important to feel the therapist you choose is able to work with you around your relationship.

Person-Centred Counselling can help you work through your emotions and the areas of your life that are causing you concerns in the here and now.  I am trained to work in a trauma informed way. I believe that it is what has happened to you that creates the way you view the world, the way you view yourself and ultimately the way that you behave and feel. This can impact all parts of your life, from your sense of self, to your relationships and your self esteem.

Are you struggling to cope, have you recently experienced a traumatic event, are you in need of emotional support or are you simply looking to make some significant life changes? Life can throw unexpected challenges at you; short term or long term difficulties and experiences can have an adverse impact on your well-being causing any number of emotional disruptions. Asking for help is the first big step towards recovering and finding the right support for your individual needs is instrumental in working through and alleviating these challenges.

I am a registered humanistic integrative psychotherapist/counsellor who looks to promote self-discovery in my clients to help them to move towards reaching their potential. I focus on self-development and growth to help individuals heal and recognise their strengths, creativity and choices in life. I see my clients as unique and work with issues such as anxiety, grief, depression and self esteem. I offer a safe, supportive space either in my clinic in the heart of Oakham or online via zoom or What’s app sessions. Clients can explore their presenting issues ultimately working towards developing their own personal growth

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.
