Counselling in North Waltham

The thought of seeking counselling or psychotherapy can feel like a daunting prospect. However sometimes we can face struggles in life that seem too difficult to cope with alone. It takes courage in taking the first steps to seek help and support. My personal philosophy is that we are all complex unique individuals with our own needs, but sometimes these needs get distorted as we try to fit in and be accepted by others, or we simply become lost in the "busy-ness" of our lives.

It's a natural part of life that at times we experience some challenges, disruptions, stressors or significant life changes. When this happens it can feel overwhelming. Returning to an even keel can be supported with the help of a tried, tested and trusted integrative counsellor. With over 20 years of full time experience plus providing supervision to other therapists, I can offer you an unbiased, experienced and confidential space for you to work through and get back on track using any of Counselling, NLP, Hypnotherapy, EMDR helping you to return to a more balanced, calmer life. Feel free to call me anytime.

Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you carry too much burden from you past? Do you feel alone and dissatisfied even in your relationships? Are you feeling anxious all the time and overthinking every decision you make? Counselling is about getting to know yourself better. It’s not about getting advice, it is about finding your own answers. No one knows better what you need than yourself. We will work side by side to explore your past and present for you to see where you have come from and where you are going.

I am a qualified therapist with many years of experience in different mental health roles. As a therapist, my aim is to support you in understanding what might be the cause of the issues you are experiencing. Together, we can understand your challenges and quickly improve your wellbeing using a range of therapeutic interventions. I am committed to creating a safe, steady presence within a supportive environment.

I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist, providing single-session therapy, open-ended psychotherapy, and brief counselling sessions to individuals, couples, and other relationships. I offer a free consultation and discounted rates. I can arrange weekly, fortnightly or ad-hoc sessions to suit your needs. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, domestic abuse, life transitions or facing difficult parenting dilemmas or relationship and attachment issues? Please reach out. You don't have to face these challenges alone.

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a place where we 'can't see the wood for the trees'. We feel as if we have little or no control over ours or others behaviour. That the direction your life is taking, is going the wrong way. Accompanying this here can often be a sense of loss or injustice, of not being able to imagine a better future. With up to date psychological understanding there is a better future. Building on your own knowledge and resources we can identify your personal goals and what you want out of your appointments. This tailored approach will work with you to resolve your barriers to achieving success.

When was the last time you were able to give an honest answer to the question 'how are you'? Most of us say 'fine thank you' but what if you aren't feeling fine? What if you know something isn't as it should be but don't know what it is? If you are feeling anxious, angry, 'stuck', facing changes that you find unsettling and challenging and the future looks scary, we can work together to understand those feelings and try to resolve them. If you are feeling invisible, misunderstood or you are not getting what you need from your relationships and want something different, I can you the time and space to change what makes you unhappy.

In my experience, people make the decision to come to counselling for many reasons, and I understand that it can feel very daunting to embark on a journey of this kind. I have a number of years experience of working with individuals with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, loss and bereavement, addictive behaviours, as well as family/work/relationship issues. I believe that just being able to talk about your thoughts and feelings can often bring great relief, and this experience can be life changing.

Choosing a therapist can raise lots of questions and concerns. This is why I offer a free half hour online introductory session so that we can discuss your needs further and you can decide whether you think you would like to work with me. I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist and counsellor who's committed to helping my clients make the changes they want to see in their life and relationships. I do this by paying attention to you as an individual and using the theories and interventions that I believe will best support you in where you want to be.

Are you looking for a compassionate therapist who provides a safe place for you or your child to be listened to and also equips you with lifelong knowledge and skills to take care of your emotional and mental health? I have 30 years experience working with adults, children and young people in a variety of NHS settings. This has included providing cognitive behaviour therapy for adults and young people overcoming addiction, providing specialist assessment and therapy programmes for children and families in an NHS CAMHS team and more recently providing psychological therapy for people with depression and anxiety problems.

Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I believe it is paramount for you to feel safe, heard and understood. You may know what you need or you may be more uncertain. No matter, it is your unique perspective and experience which is important. Having the space to explore this, free of judgement, can build self-awareness and bring clarity.

Counselling can help you work through troubling emotions, thoughts or behaviour. This might include recurring thoughts, anxiety, depression and compulsive or unwanted behaviour. Counselling can also provide a space for those who wish to explore issues from their past including childhood and how these may be impacting them today. Sometimes clients find a few sessions just having the space and time to voice their concerns helps them to clarify things and make connections. Other clients will want to look more deeply into their past and current issues and may require more sessions. I work with individual adults (aged 18+).

Do you struggle with anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or other emotional issues? Do you sometimes find it difficult to articulate what the problem is or feel that words are just not enough to express it? It might be that Dramatherapy is right for you. Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy/psychotherapy (BADth), which makes use of a variety of creative-expressive techniques to help you explore your feelings. It is particularly helpful when you struggle to articulate what the problem is or when words are just not enough to express it.
