Substance Use Counselling in Nottingham

I work for the NHS in a service supporting people with developmental trauma and personality difficulties that affect their lives. My expertise is with people who have experienced trauma (long-term or short-term). Events like this can lead to a range of mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, panic and psychosis and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use , relationship struggles, and so on. I aim to help you understand where issues are stemming from, so we can work on developing a healthier life for you. I also work with risk related behaviours - contact for more info.

There may be a specific issue you would like to discuss, you may be dealing with a significant life event, you may be finding it hard to cope with something or need to share something in confidence. I work across a broad range of issues with particular interest in the areas of personal growth; dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm; substance use as a coping mechanism, counselling for men and working with people experiencing issues around their identity and relationships with others. Whatever you need to speak about I offer a safe space for you to discuss and explore your issues at your own pace.

Making the decision about coming to counselling can be quite daunting however more and more people are looking to therapists for support. It is important to choose a therapist that is right for you so I will give you as much information as possible to help you make an informed choice. I believe that when we have a better understanding of who we are/our patterns of behaviour then we can engage in healthier relationships, live autonomous lives and fulfil our potential.

My education and experience help me use various processes and collaborate with each person or couple to create their own unique treatment plan with the aim to cover, as much as possible, their own unique needs. Through these processes (e.g. through Socratic dialogue/questioning, Empathic Responses, and other Systemic and Cognitive-Behavioral techniques), I invite people to develop more self-awareness, to renegotiate key issues of their existence and to approach past traumatic experiences in a more constructive manner.

I am the founder and Director at Therapy Nottingham, a pioneering Integrative psychotherapy service based in Nottingham city centre. Clients often have a strong sense that 'something is wrong' without knowing the exact nature of it. Issues around identity and relationships lead to some common questions that clients are trying to resolve include; how did this happen? what happened to my 'old' self? How do I move on? Who am I?

I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy to individuals who are suffering from many different areas of difficulty. Counselling can help with a variety of issues including but not limited to: Abuse Anger Anxiety Childhood Difficulties Depression Eating disorders Family Problems Grief Self esteem Self harm Stress Trauma. Counselling can be short or long term as agreed between us. It may be easier to have a few sessions and assess whether you think it will be beneficial to you. This may be particulary useful and helpful if you have never accessed therapy before and it may help to calm some nerves.

Therapy can be a tough enough undertaking without sitting across from somebody furiously scribbling in a notebook, poker faced whilst you try your best to open up. So, I run my practice with a few core values: acceptance, kindness, empathy, compassion and a touch of humour and humanity to lighten the load a bit. No chaise longue necessary. The type of therapy I do is called integrative psychotherapy. It means I incorporate a few different types of therapy (person centred, attachment theory and cut) to create a style tailored specifically to you and your needs.

Life is full of experiences which can cause us to struggle, feel unsettled, overwhelmed and at odds with our true self. When we feel like this, taking the time to reflect upon our experiences, feelings and emotional responses in therapy can help understand more about ourselves and then develop a way forward that is true to our own needs, aims and desires for the life we wish to live.

Sometimes it feels like everyone says that men have it easy. If that’s so, then why are three quarters of all suicides men? We've been taught to tough it out and to go it alone, and that it’s weak to ask for help when things get on top of us – even if there is someone we can turn to. I work with the issues around the difficulty of being male in a society that creates unrealistic and often contradictory ideals of masculinity that are impossible to live up to, and stops men connecting meaningfully with themselves and others.

Taking the first step to reach out can be really tough. Whether you'd like day to day life to feel a little easier or heal from a traumatic experience, we'll work together with what you bring to your sessions. I offer a safe confidential environment where you'll feel seen and accepted.
