Marriage Counselling in Norwich

Clients often tell me I'm easy to speak to and very understanding. They feel comfortable in my presence and I often find they value my kind, sensitive but easy going nature. I have over 12 years of experience of counselling working with clients from all walks of life. I have worked with some high profile people who have put their trust in me. I help people find achievable goals encompassing psychotherapeutic tools such as speech analysis and problem solving, allowing for better ways of relating to family and friends.

I offer a space where old ways of thinking and feeling can be examined, challenged and understood, perhaps old patterns of behaviour no longer serve you? Are relationships becoming destructive? Does your current lifestyle need consideration? Are your boundaries constantly being broken? You may have suffered a loss or a life changing event and need support and space to unpick and understand. Whatever your therapeutic needs, even if we don't yet know what change might look like, I know it can feel scary. Counselling is a fluid and ever evolving process of internal learning, but always focused on what you bring to therapy.

Are you struggling and looking for an experienced therapist who will listen to you in a comfortable and safe space, and help guide you through a difficult time? If so, I can help. MBACP registered and a fully qualified counsellor, I’ve been a therapist for over 10 years. In that time, I've helped clients work through numerous concerns, from addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to attachment issues and relationships problems.

Clients, both men and women, come to me for many reasons, but it’s usually when they have tried hard on their own to cope with past or present situations, and things are just not working for them. Men can be less likely to seek therapy than women, but it’s just as important for men to take care of their mental health too. Therapy can help anyone achieve better mental health, improve relationships and address work issues, such as anxiety and dealing with pressure. Perhaps all that’s needed is a space to talk. With counselling, we can build a relationship together and work through these issues in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Hello, and welcome to my page. Life can be difficult at times and we may need someone to talk to about our overwhelming feelings, or help us with logical thinking. We can get stuck in a negative cycle, or have a deep sense of being lost, alone, different or unsure of who we are. There maybe something current that you are struggling with and need space to talk about, or there might be something historical you would like help to understand. As a relational practitioner I believe that a safe and supportive environment is an important part of the healing process and will form the foundations of our work together.

Making the decision to be in therapy can be life-changing. It is important to be able to express ourselves in a non-judgmental, safe, open, and confidential environment. I have been working for many years with people who come to me to talk about a variety of issues. All of these conversations highlight people's desire to improve their quality of life, whether by becoming more confident, finding direction or purpose in life, improving relationships, changing unhelpful behaviours, feeling happier, or developing new skills in life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years’ experience working in mental health services with adults, young people, children, and families. Over that time, I have gained experience of working effectively and collaboratively with people with a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges, and I have a specialism in all types of trauma. I am an integrative therapist, drawing upon principles from a range of models including EMDR, CBT, DBT, systemic and behaviourist approaches, and attachment theory. I have experience and knowledge of working alongside people who are also neurodiverse (specifically, ADHD and ASD).

I offer face to face sessions in addition to telephone or online. I practice in the NR6 area of Norwich easily accessed from the NDR. This may be a time in your life when you feel an overwhelming anxiety, low self esteem, depression or sadness. It may be evoked from a current or historic experience. I believe that recognising you are struggling and making the choice to seek help may be your first step towards finding some resolution. I work to assist and support you in exploring your issues and will always allow you direction in the sessions.

I have many years experience working in public and private sectors with a wide range of people. I am trained in a variety of approaches, for instance CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Psychosynthesis, Compassion-Focused Therapy for Trauma, and Systemic Therapy for couples and families. My aim is to identify what will make your therapy most worthwhile whether short or longer term, how to reach for desired goals, improve your relationships and build self-esteem and confidence. My PhD is Critical and Creative Writing (UEA, 1997) and I am a published author. Website: lyndamiathompsonwriting.com

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.

I offer a safe space where they can share their problems and receive support. Clients are met with warmth, acceptance and positivity, and their challenges are listened to and properly understood. I'm an integrative counsellor, which means I tailor my approach according to my client’s individual needs. I acknowledge that early experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others later in life.

Coming to counselling is often the first step in your journey for positive change. There are different ways we can approach sessions; from different approaches to therapy and finding a way that is right for you. Everyone is different and therefore, with my pluralistic approach, we can explore different ways that are right by you, guided by how you are each session.

Are you fed up of waking up in the morning with a feeling of dread, a churning in your stomach or a tightness in your chest? Are you frustrated from having thoughts going around in your mind, feeling like you're out of control? Are you finding yourself feeling sad and crying more than usual? Do you feel confused and often find yourself asking "what's wrong with me?" Maybe you are experiencing anxiety when faced with challenging situations and people? Counselling can help you to figure things out.

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.
