Borderline Personality (BPD) Counselling in Norwich

Are you fed up of feeling like you never fit in? Maybe you're tired of masking your true self through fear of other people's judgements, criticisms or rejection? These are experiences I hear from clients so frequently. I work with people that want to find ways to live more authentically, to be more comfortable in expressing their true selves. I support clients to uncover their natural ways of being, to unmask and find ways to express their true emotions. I have a passion and a wealth of knowledge (professionally and personally) of supporting neurodiverse clients (predominantly, though not exclusively clients with autism and ADHD).

I am trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means I draw on a range of theories and concepts in our work together. Underpinning my work is my belief that we have a human desire to feel whole and connected, with ourselves and with others. Part of our work will be to explore those parts of your experience that may prevent you feeling this way. I am open to exploring any issue that you bring to counselling.

Hello, I have enjoyed working as a Clinical Psychologist with adults since 1999 and have gained experience of working effectively with people with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, including anxiety, anger, mood difficulties, difficulties relating to ourselves and other people, trauma of all kinds, chronic illness and eating difficulties. I have specific training and a special interest in working therapeutically with gender diverse (trans), gay and bisexual people or those who belong to the kink or poly community (kink aware).

In these uncertain times we are all feeling anxious and that is completely normal, however if these feelings are overwhelming please contact me. Acceptance and speaking to someone may help to understand how to manage these emotions. Or maybe you need a safe place, space and time to reflect on your life. Counselling and psychotherapy could help you to understand and make sense of the world and also recognize your behavior patterns and let go of the old patterns; ‘If you always do the same things in the same way, you will also get what you have always got!’ I am doing session via Zoom, facetime, skype or what ever is best for you.

We specialise in meeting client need especially clients experiencing mental health problems. We do 1:1 mental health assessments including establishing a working diagnosis for ASC, OCD,EUPD, and their treatment formulation and treatment sessions. The list is inexhaustible in that we also reach out to those having anxiety, depression, self-harm thoughts or urges to, those with suicidal ideation. We understand how hard it is to be in that situation or having to wait for so long on the waiting list and how you long to feel better and get on with your like and not having to feel you are a burden to your family or friends.

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing.

I like to work with clients who are aware that they would like to make changes in their lives: they may not yet know what the change looks like, but are willing to explore options in a compassionate and supportive environment. They are interested to learn more about themselves and others; willing to accept that they many need to let go of some old patterns of thinking, feeling and doing in order to live the life they want for themselves. They are committed to their personal growth and willing to meet regularly over Zoom to achieve their goals. Goals will be agreed each session to ensure focus and sense of achievement for us both

Have you been struggling with low mood, depression, anxiety or difficulties with understanding and responding to your emotions? Do you feel like something is wrong, but are struggling to work out why you feel that way? Have you been through difficult life events that continue to impact on you, even though the situation has now passed? Do you need help accepting significant life changes? If your goal is understand yourself better, learn more about yourself and what barriers to recovery you might face, or to heal from past experiences, I can support you.

I invite you come into my space (in person or online) and hope you will trust me with the things that might feel hard to say to other people, sometimes even to yourself. I encourage keeping a journal whilst in therapy and we can both make notes between sessions, keeping our connection alive.

The reasons we seek counselling are many and varied. Sometimes there is a sudden loss or trauma, but sometimes there are layers of difficult experiences where one more is too many, and we can become overwhelmed. These may be current events or traumatic experiences from long ago that continue to affect life today. We may begin to distance ourselves from friends and family as we try to make sense of difficult feelings and emotions alone. Perhaps because we don't want to burden others or from unresolved or misplaced feelings of guilt or shame. Reaching out for support can be the hardest first step to healing and positive change.

I practice from my own room in NR6, Norwich, with parking available. I offer a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental counselling relationship. I work with clients to explore the issues that bring them to counselling, make them feel unhappy, unsatisfied or overwhelmed; exploring and working towards understanding these issues, and their responses to them. Our unhappiness may be triggered by any number of things beyond our control, but we can change how we think and the views we hold, through increased self-awareness. Couples work looks at exploring issues in a safe and emotionally containing environment to work towards mutual resolution.

Hi my name is Karen. Thank you for looking at my profile. I often find that people who seek Counselling and Psychotherapy do so for many reasons that are common to many. You may be wanting a safe and confidential space to speak about a problem causing difficulties. It might be that you feel unable to speak to those closest to you and you need someone outside of your life, someone separate and non judgemental to talk with to help you make sense of things so that you can start to feel better and indeed make some changes. You might not know what help is out there or where to begin, here is a starting point.

We can all at some time in our lives experience painful and traumatic feelings such as loss, depression, anxiety, and bereavement, which can create confusion surrounding the path you are on. Counselling offers a safe, confidential space. Working together we can bring understanding to how your past may be influencing your present thoughts, feelings and behaviours,enabling you to take charge of your life, alleviate your symptoms, help to find and create meaning in your life and develop more fulfilling relationships. Together we can uncover ways in which you can develop your full potential and manifest a whole new way of being.

EXPLORE ~ EXPERIENCE ~ ENGAGE ~ EMPOWER How we feel can impact on our world significantly. Talking through thoughts and feelings at our own pace can be a helpful way to explore what may lie at the root of pain and difficulty. My endeavour as a PERSON CENTRED NATURE THERAPIST is to work alongside you in finding your way back to a space of balance and wellbeing within. PERSON CENTRED therapy is at the very core of how I work therapeutically and NATURE deepens and inspires that process. Combining these approaches can be a way to explore thoughts and feelings and facilitate healing.

As a counsellor, my utmost priority is understanding and meeting my clients' needs. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals of all ages can openly explore their thoughts and emotions. I am dedicated to tailoring my approach to suit each client's unique circumstances and providing support that is empathetic, genuine, and effective.
