Somatic Counselling in Nottingham

I know all too well (believe me!) that there’s often no ‘quick fix’ to some of life’s curveballs, but with patience and regular therapy sessions I can help you reach a place of emotional regulation, to learn about and meet your ‘wants and needs’ in order to feel a sense of meaningful connection both with yourself, and others.

I understand that life can be overwhelming, but I’m here to guide you through those obstacles. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply through your journey with me, and get you back on track. My sessions are designed to unravel painful issues and provide you with effective tools to be able to heal. Taking action creates a sense of liberation and a feeling of letting go of the despair associated with insignificance and meaningless. It creates a feeling of growth and promotes the embracing of life and to exist with wonder and curiosity. I've been honoured to be endorsed by Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland and Source.

Choosing the right counsellor or psychotherapist can be difficult. You may not even know where to start or how you feel. These difficulties and challenges can become overwhelming. Perhaps you feel stuck, helpless, anxious, confused or unfulfilled? Are the challenges you’re faced with impacting your self-esteem, relationships and general health?

Welcome. I have over 20 years’ experience counselling people in crisis. Now, in my private practice, I use connection, empathy and psychotherapy to help you with your personal development and relationships. We can address anxiety disorders, toxic stress, addictions, low mood, your identity, your confidence and your spiritual life. For too long, you have put your quality of life on hold for other people or your working life. For too long you have tried to stay strong. But the body and mind can only take so much! It's time to improve your overall health, build resilience and set healthy boundaries.

My aim as a therapist is to focus on finding a flexible way for everyone to access therapy. Having previously worked shifts I am aware of the difficulties of having a busy life that does not fit into the average 9-5 template and how this can make accessing weekly appointments difficult. I struggled to find my therapist when I was working shifts and I would like to offer my clients a different way of working, booking sessions week by week. This takes away the commitment of attending at the same time and date.

Hi, I’m Chloe. I’m an experienced women’s Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with over 10+ years of experience in the NHS and charity sector. I offer tailored support that acknowledges and honours the complexity of women's experiences, fostering an environment of trust, healing, and empowerment. I specialise in birth trauma, perinatal issues, complex trauma, abuse, neglect, anxiety and ‘treatment resistant’ depression. I am passionate about working with women to enable them to tap into their strengths so that they can leave my clinic feeling empowered.

Do you feel like every day is a struggle and you're finding it difficult to enjoy life? Do you feel that you've lost a sense of yourself as a result of the things you've been through? Trauma-informed psychological therapy can help you to heal. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist and an EMDR Practitioner and I specialise in working with adults who have experienced trauma and adversity. I have several years of experience of helping individuals to overcome mental health difficulties and the impact of trauma. I believe in working together with you, with the aim of reducing your distress and increasing your quality of life.

I am a relational, developmental integrative psychotherapist. My therapeutic approach reflects my humanistic philosophy, acknowledging the autonomy and uniqueness of the individual. At any time in our lives, we may encounter issues or events we find difficult to cope with. Finding our way can be lonely, frightening and deeply challenging. Working collaboratively, my aim is to provide a safe, warm, accepting environment for you to explore your experiences, concerns and needs, offering an empathic, compassionate, non-judgemental and genuine relational experience to help facilitate greater self-awareness, healing and growth.

My ideal client is deeply affected by past experiences that influence their current relationships and sense of self. They yearn for lasting healing, seeking to break free from self-sabotaging patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and cultivate genuine self-acceptance. While the journey towards healing isn't always easy, it's incredibly rewarding. I'm committed to walking alongside you, offering a safe, compassionate space for exploration and growth. With a trauma-informed approach, we'll work to understand how the past shapes the present, developing tools for emotional resilience and fostering a deeper sense of self. Healing tak

Finding the right therapist can be daunting – let’s start with what’s going on for you: Maybe you're having difficulties with your relationships or health? Feeling distressed by past experiences, or finding it hard to deal with current challenges? Perhaps you’re navigating a life transition, or you just feel stuck, stressed, anxious or unhappy? As a qualified, experienced psychotherapist, I work with a range of issues. I am here to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, the difficulties you’re facing, and how you can move forward with your life in the way that is right for you.

Integrative theory, practice principles & research evidence inform & underpin my personal approach to understanding clients presenting issues and deeper-rooted problems. These are utilised to educate, inform & support clients to make links to reoccurring themes in their lives whilst the therapeutic relationship supports progress towards identified goals.

Life can be difficult and sometimes we need support to help us navigate through the challenges we face. Sometimes we can feel stuck or like something is missing in our lives. You may be experiencing significant life events such as bereavement, redundancy or divorce. Whatever it is I offer a space where you can feel safe and supported to explore what you are finding difficult. Your experience is unique to you and together we will increase awareness of your feelings and understanding of what your needs are. To encourage and promote healing, change and growth for you.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

Do you feel like past events are affecting how you cope with life today? Do you feel anger easily and sometimes feel guilty about it afterwards? Do you wish you'd stop the anxiety? Do you feel like everyone is looking at you? Some nights you might feel like you're not enough... Some nights you might feel like you don't know what enough is... Sometimes you just want to put yourself first but the guilt just hits you...

We are all unique and present different ranges of issues requiring highly tailored therapy. As a UKCP accredited, Clinical Integrative Psychotherapist, qualified (with Distinction), at MSc level. I work in a relational/humanistic way, offering myself, my knowledge, and life experience to an extensive range of clients, to encourage growth and healing. Commissioned to work with the Nottinghamshire Police, BAME Crown Prosecution Service, NHS, whilst supporting Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and private patients with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and grief, childhood trauma and relationship issues.

Life often throws many ups and downs our way. Sometimes we cope and sometimes it feels just too much. Therapy can help you regain your equilibrium, providing a safe space for you to share your concerns with somebody who will really listen. I know it can be difficult to ask for help, “I have no right to feel like this because ...” is a common sentiment - but you do have that right. Counselling can help you to understand yourself and build your own resilience and long term mental well-being. Whether you wish to tackle a particular dilemma or explore underlying issues, it is important you allow yourself the time and space you need.

Hi my name is Adam. I am qualified and registered with the BACP. Sometimes life can get overwhelming or we may experience things that can impact negatively on our general way of being. I want you to know that it is really OK not to be OK and that it is OK to ask for help. If you find yourself struggling with your own sense of self or others around you, then please do reach out, I would like to help you. We can discover the light from within, when we explore and navigate the darkness.
