Online Counselling for Norwich

I work in collaboration with my clients, using a solution focussed approach. The aim is to identify the problem along with causal factors and to develop a unique, person centred treatment plan. I have many years experience and very good outcome rates - many of my clients come from personal recommendation. I have worked in both the NHS and private settings since 2000 and am also a registered mental health nurse. I have worked with people from all backgrounds. My approach is open, non-judgemental and and down-to-earth.

Hi! I’m Jinnie and I’m a chartered clinical psychologist. It is a privilege to be allowed into a client’s personal world and to join them on their journey to wellbeing or recovery. My priority at the start of therapy is to provide a compassionate, warm and non-judgemental space, so that together we can build a trusting therapeutic relationship and work on overcoming the client’s difficulties together. I currently work as a clinical psychologist in the NHS, working with children and adults living with long-term health conditions.

We all go through difficulties at times and sometimes can feel out of our depth and in need of a helping hand. I believe our past experiences can shape how we feel and respond in any given situation and can keep us trapped in negative cycles and unsure of a way out. I want to help you overcome these difficulties and find a way forward to start reaching your goals. Please do not feel you have to go through this alone or that things can’t change. Let’s work together to see how we can understand things and make things better for the future. I have worked in a variety of settings including NHS, private and hospitals for over 10 years.

Some people find it helpful to talk through their difficulties with someone who is outside of their situation. As a counsellor it is my role to be that person. I won’t tell you what to do, diagnose you, give advice or set homework. What I will do is - without judgement - help you: explore and clarify your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours; gain an understanding of yourself and your unique circumstances; and consider how all this may be affecting you and the choices available to you.

You are now entering a time of increased uncertainty for yourselves and your loved ones. Your working, personal and social lives have changed overnight, which understandably will have a significant impact on your life, increasing anxiety and any other underlying issues you may have been struggling with. What ever your needs are, I can help you understand what's going on and offer some effective coping strategies to help you manage the current situation. Once you feel more in control of your anxiety, we can then look to work on any other underlying issues which will help you manage through these extra-ordinary times.

My name is Sylvia Barnes and I am a health psychologist with over 10 years experience working in public health and the private sector. I provide individually tailored therapy for all my clients to help them make meaningful, lasting changes. I work with adults with a range of challenges including stress, anxiety and panic, distress from living with long term health problems (including health worries and chronic pain), trouble sleeping as well as finding more meaning and fulfilment in life.

Are you noticing challenges in your relationships, or navigating a period with lots of change? Maybe you’re finding it hard to make sense of things that have happened in the past, or that struggling with your mental health is making each day difficult? Perhaps you are experiencing a lot of anxiety, or struggling with low self-esteem and confidence? Counselling can give you the space, support and guidance to explore and better understand yourself; offer insight to help you manage in the here-and-now; as well as make sense of how your past affects your present.

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.

I regularly see clients who are suffering from anxiety, sleep problems, chronic pain, weight issues, stress & worries, IBS, fears & phobias, low mood, emotional issues or PTSD/traumatic memories. People work with me when they haven't been able to free themselves of these issues completely, or at least regain the quality of life they want, through their own efforts or with the assistance of other therapies. Often they feel that they are battling with themselves - and what they want is to find a caring & knowledgeable guide who will help them draw on their own inner resources to experience life differently.

Sometimes when we struggle to cope with life events, however big or small, we try to hide away but often the problems can resurface or end up taking over our everyday thoughts and lifestyles. You may even be thinking that your problems or worries are not as bad as other people’s issues and that you should just be OK. Perhaps you're used to giving the ‘I’m OK’ image but really struggling to carry on that person. The most important thing to say is that if the problem is important to you, it is important to me and I provide counselling for and with YOU.

While other relationships, such as friends & family, may be partly based on assumptions of who you are and what is best for you, my practice is guided by the firm belief that no one is capable of understanding you better than yourself. I am therefore committed to facilitating an exploration of self that is free from assumptions, agendas, and judgements - my sole goal is to understand you, and in doing so help you to better understand yourself and your right to be accurately understood by others.

There are times in our lives, whatever our circumstances, when we can feel stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, out of control, confused or simply can not cope. We may want to make changes in our lives or cope with unexpected and/or unwanted situations. At times like this talking to an appropriately qualified and experienced professional can help. Someone who can support you in making decisions and/or changes, and who can help you to explore your situation.

Hi, whatever has brought you to this point and why you’re considering therapy will be unique to you. Our struggles are no more or less than the person who stands next to us they are just different but how we manage those struggles is ultimately defining. Do you have goals, aspirations, are you anxious stressed or depressed or perhaps feeling isolated alone and find yourself retreating from life? Talking things through can be the first small steps to long term changes. My work will always be centred around you and the space will be safe, empathic and non-judgemental.

I have 22 years experience as a therapist working with people experiencing a variety of concerns including personal, work or in relationship issues, anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of meaninglessness, grief, anger, low self-esteem, lack of confidence or life-changing illness. I tend to attract people interested in meditation and spirituality or who are seeking greater meaning and purpose. I specialise in supporting clients to increase self-compassion through psychological understanding, mindfulness and personal practices designed to support your personal and spiritual growth. Those with alternative lifestyles are welcome.

I have studied focusing, CBT, mindfulness, couples and group facilitation, coaching and creative thinking. At Emotionalskills we offer a straightforward therapeutic skills course designed specifically to help each unique client individually. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work with: adults, young people (15 plus), older people who thought they were too old to change, couples who want to stop arguing, struggling family units and people who want to realise a fulfilling life.

I am an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist and coach working in Central Norwich where I help clients, both individuals and couples, with a wide range of issues. I offer therapy and coaching both on a time limited basis, for a fixed number of sessions, as well as on an open ended basis. I have also managed a counselling service in North London, have worked as a therapist in agency setting as well as in higher education at the Royal College of Art. Prior to qualification as a therapist, I worked at director level in Human Resources for a number of global organisations.

I take a psychodynamic approach to my client work exploring present problems in the context of life history and past experiences. As a practitioner I help clients learn and change so that they can improve the quality of their own lives and the lives of those around them.

Whether you’re struggling with your mental health like anxiety, depression or feeling sad, or you’re working on an aspect of personal or professional development, whatever it is I’ll be guided by you as I support you through this process; I’m a firm believer that you are the expert on yourself. I work in a person-centred way, which is all about helping you to feel comfortable and safe enough to connect with your inner workings and to share and explore together to make some sense of them. I have availability on Wednesdays, and on Thursday afternoons.

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.
