Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Counselling in Oswestry

My name is Austen and I provide online psychotherapy to men and women experiencing sexuality related difficulties. You might be struggling with the consequences of sex or porn addiction or with the impact of childhood sexual abuse. Alternatively, you may be striving to make sense of your sexual orientation or your attraction to kink . I offer a therapeutic relationship that is strictly confidential and supportive where you can talk openly about your experiences and feelings without being judged. I have experience of working for counselling services within the NHS, Terrence Higgins Trust, Yorkshire MESMAC and Leeds Beckett University.

I am a highly experienced relationship counsellor who works with couples, individuals and polyamorous/open relationships across a range of issues. I work effectively and non-judgementally with affairs and betrayal, communication issues, family and work pressures, anxiety and depression etc. I work in a positive way with sexual issues as part of relationship therapy but also more serious issues in psychosexual therapy. In addition to my general counselling I work extensively with clients with diverse sexualities, genders and relationship styles.

I work predominantly with adults who have experienced trauma or negative life experiences which have impacted on their sexual functioning, mental health, emotional well-being and relationships. I offer both short and long term therapy for clients wishing to gain a better understanding of their lives and experiences and provide strategies and interventions to enable my clients to live the lives they want to live. I work with people who have sexual problems and who wish to achieve a happy and healthy sexual identity.

I offer online counselling through video calls where you can access therapy from the comfort of your home, or from a place where you feel safe. I offer a safe place where you can express what is going on for YOU in your life. I wonder if you are feeling emotionally drained, exhausted, and just not sure how to stop the thinking that you have? I wonder do you find yourself putting other people first and having little time for yourself? or perhaps you have always felt like this and don't know how to change? I am here to help YOU put the pieces together!

Welcome to my therapy practice. I like to think of my way of working with individuals or couples as creating a unique space that is facilitating for recovery or growth. I draw on a wide range of techniques and approaches to fulfil this way of working (including the use of CBT tools). Psychotherapy and counselling with me is a confidential and non-judgemental process. I won’t tell you what to do but we will talk about whatever you need to talk about and we will work on ways of developing a useful route through your issues, however difficult. (My practice is neurodiverse informed and kink friendly).

Hi I'm May, I offer person centred counselling sessions in the Manchester area and online. I offer a counselling service that is safe, empowering and human - connection with a real person. Over the years I've worked with people experiencing emotional distress as a counsellor, support worker and aromatherapist. I try to be aware of my privilege and how this might affect our counselling relationship.

I'm a sex and relationship therapist with over 5 years experience in empowering people through sex education. I work with a wide range of issues including understanding your gender, sexuality and identities (inc. LGBTQIA+), finding the right relationship style for you (non-monogamy, monogamy, polyamory etc), negotiating safer BDSM and kink practices, exploring consent, issues with sexual functioning (genital pain, erection issues, inability to orgasm etc), navigating relationship conflicts and improving sexual intimacy. I also work with people who have experienced sexual trauma and abuse and work in a trauma-informed way.

Life can involve upsetting, stressful, or traumatic events that can negatively impact how we think, feel, and behave. You may have anxiety and depression, struggle with low self esteem or have suicidal/intrusive thoughts. You may have problems controlling anger or impulsiveness. Maybe your thoughts or feelings are impacting relationships around you, or vice versa.Whatever the circumstance, I can help you understand yourself and others in a safe and non-judgmental space, for new or long term troubles. I also offer coping techniques to reduce intensity/frequency of negative thoughts, images, and physical sensations (panic attacks etc)

Talking about personal issues can be difficult but I am here to support your individual needs. I work with children up to 17 years old, young people, adults and couples. Contacting a counsellor can scary if you have never done it before, but please be assured we will move at your own speed in your own time. You can contact me via email or phone, then decide after the free initial consultation if you want to continue. Concessions for up to and including 17 years old & students until 31.12.22. (Student I.D required). Couples Face to Face only. Individuals face to face, zoom or phone.

Welcome to my profile. My number one aim, passion and priority is to make a positive difference to your life. For me, counselling is a process that supports, empowers and facilitates well-being. A space that you can trust with no judgement or criticism for you to feel free to express and explore what’s important to you. I offer an empathic nurturing relationship so that you are supported to achieve your goals, whether it would be personal development and self-actualisation or to overcome distressing/traumatic events, thoughts or feelings. Attentively, I actively listen to you so I understand deeply, you and your lived experiences.

Hey There, Trauma can present as symptoms connected to nervous system disregulation, such as anxiety, depression, low mood, negative thinking, destructive behaviour, difficulty in experiencing emotion, lack of drive and enthusiasm, isolation, a lack of trust in others and a fear of connection or poor relationships, dissociative tendencies and hyper sensitivities. I work with cutting edge methods including Brainspotting and the SSP (safe sound protocol) (polyvagal theory) that are grounded in the most recent developments in neuro science and how we understand the impact of our early environment on our here and now adult experiences.

Do you feel like you have a certain way of understanding yourself and fitting into the world? It could be to work very hard or to make sure everyone else is okay before yourself. Has that way of understanding yourself stopped working? You may be experiencing anxiety, depression or feeling stuck? If so, then talking therapy could help you to make sense of the world and your place in it. I am passionate in my belief that people have an amazing capacity for change and growth. I work by providing an environment that helps people flourish and find their authentic and vital self.

I imagine it's overwhelming reading all these blurbs and trying to figure out which one stands out for you, so I'm not going to add to the noise. Qualified therapist and supervisor, 10 years' full time experience, bloke, getting on a bit these days, sense of humour, personable and down to earth, approachable and friendly, I will do my best to understand you and support you but I will also challenge you to get out of whatever is keeping you stuck when appropriate! I generally work with individuals but also offer LGBTQIA+ friendly couples/relationship counselling as this can be a difficult to access service.

I believe that human wellness is multidimensional. No singular event, element or experience of living can truly cause wellness or suffering. It’s a complex interplay between various factors which make up our experience of life. With this in mind, there can be no singular therapy and counselling service that can heal all. There can be no singular psychological approach which is capable of explaining the complexity of the human experience. This is why my approach is integrative and holistic, with a collaborative style that pulls in ideas from various models and ideologies.

Perhaps you have been thinking for a little while that it would be good to talk to someone in a confidential and safe space. We can all have times when we struggle - counselling does not need to be a last resort. If you’d like to understand yourself better, make a change, feel more at ease with yourself or get support through a transition, I can help. I support people with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, loneliness, work challenges, stress, life transitions (such as children leaving home, retirement, post-divorce or break-up, coming out, changing career).

I am Marco, a fully qualified counsellor who works in an integrative way with a range of therapeutic theories including Person Centred, EFT and Mindfulness, to find the best approach for you.
