Education and Learning Disabilities Counselling in Newark-on-Trent

Hello my name is James and I work as a counsellor and a Jungian Sandplay therapist. Jungian Sandplay is a form of therapy where you are invited to work in a tray of either wet or dry sand to make pictures and scenes that reflect what is happening in your world. Through the use of miniatures and various objects you can express your feelings, reconnect with your inner self and move forward in areas where you feel stuck. My room is equipped with shelves that provide hundreds of miniatures, ornaments and natural objects.

Life is a journey and you hold the map, but at times it can lead you down a difficult road, with lots of bumps along the way. Life's journey isn't always smooth, we can get lost, take a wrong turning, reach a crossroads and be unable to decide which direction to take, or be unsure of our destination. Through talking and exploring your thoughts and feelings, counselling can help you to smooth these bumps and make your own decisions regarding which direction to take, to help you feel more in control of your own journey, and the destination that you would like to reach.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with difficult feelings? Have you been through a bereavement or loss that you're struggling to come to terms with? Have you experienced painful and traumatic life events that still impact on you today and stop you living the life you want. Would you like to improve your relationships with the people in your life? You may be struggling with issues life anxiety, depression or low self-worth. My focus is to offer a counselling relationship that is supportive, nurturing and empowering. I can offer practical coping strategies, better insight and understanding as well as help you find your own solutions.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor, i am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society, I have always had a passion for helping others, and I have experience working with anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement and domestic abuse. I work with adults (18+) and my aim is to help clients overcome their struggles and develop self-understanding to enjoy a meaningful healthier, and happier future. I endeavour to create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable to be able to share things with me that are preventing them from moving forward.

Do you ever experience feelings of hopelessness, being self critical, or having limiting beliefs and thoughts? Do you experience reduced energy or motivation? Do your worries and panic hold you back or cause crippling spiralling thoughts about the future? Maybe you have a specific phobia or fear, restrictive and controlling patterns of eating, obsessive behaviours or urges you feel compelled to complete? Maybe you have a diagnosed neurodevelopmental condition such as Autism, ADHD, learning needs etc and struggling with the impact of this? These are just some things I can help with and adopt a trauma informed approach to all my work.

Art therapy enabled me to process my own past traumas, it has given me the empathy and determination to help others to see more clearly what is going on for them in the present, often through gaining a better understanding of their past. I work mostly with adolescents (aged 12-25), and primary/junior school children. Helping them to process issues such as anxiety, bullying, stress, identity, behavioural issues, grief and bereavement.

Often, individual difficulties are accompanied by the challenges of daily life, which make each person’s experience different and their therapeutic needs unique. Through short or long term therapy, I aim to support meaningful change in areas you would like to work on, with an understanding of the wider picture of how these issues may feature in daily life.

I offer safe environment for clients from adolescents to adults to explore their feelings at their own pace. I also work with clients who have learning difficulties and mental health issues. I understand how hard it is for a person to come to counselling and will do my best to make it a positive experience.

Welcome to my profile. I'm Katie and I am a humanistic-integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who believes that everybody, regardless of difference, deserves to live an authentic and fulfilling life. I understand however, that life can be very distressing and the challenges we face can often get in the way of living a life we truly want and need. I believe however, that psychological distress is a very normal response to adverse circumstances - past or present - and that everybody has a unique way of experiencing. Therefore, I will help you gain further understanding of these experiences and help you find a way forward.
