Parenting Counselling in Penrith

I will provide you with the space to explore complex difficulties that life can throw at us. Sometimes life events can affect us deeply and it can be difficult to reach out for help. I hope to be able to make this path easier for you and between us we can move you forward to that contented, peaceful and happy place you are wanting to get to. I use a variety of methods to address issues to help create meaningful discussions that promote healing and self-reflection.

In private practice, I work with individuals, groups and organisations. My therapeutic style is embedded in relationship and engagement. Therefore if you experience challenges with relationship or communication, this is my strength. Following 20 years of experience within NHS, private practice and educational organisations I utilize somatic psychology, human development and potential along with creative methodologies. Ultimately, uncovering potential, dealing with unhelpful behaviours.

Are you struggling right now? Maybe with panic, fear, general anxiety? Maybe your teenager is having difficulties. Are you struggling with Domestic Abuse? Would you like to explore the root of your problems and be in a better place? If so, I may be the counsellor you are looking for. Sometimes in life we all struggle, and it is important to recognise this and seek some self-care. Life for a teenager can be particularly difficult but an area I have worked in for 35 years. Counselling can seem like a very daunting experience and leave you wondering what to expect, what counselling could do for you or whether this will help you.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to any work we do together. I will not judge you and will offer you the respect you deserve while we explore the reasons you are seeking therapy at this time. I work in a private, calm, relaxed and confidential space in the centre of Darlington. I am a qualified experienced Integrative Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering both long and short term therapy, dependent upon what you want at this time. Having someone to talk to in confidence can in itself be a healing experience. I am able to work using many different theories and methods depending on your needs.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. My specialism is in the area of relationships and how they affect us. So many of our problems originate as a result of our key relationships in some way, whether it be partner, parent , child, sibling, friend, colleague or someone else we have an important relationship with, including our self. My aim is simple: to help you as an individual or as a couple, to understand your current problems and to quickly find the solutions you need. Please note I now work exclusively using online video sessions where we can meet from the comfort of your own space.

Choosing the right counsellor for you can be hard. What has led you to consider counselling at this point in your life? Do you wish you had a better understanding of yourself and how your background or current situation may be holding you back? Do you want to find ways to cope with the challenges in your life right now? Would you like to explore the possibility of change – in your career, your relationships or how you see yourself? Do you need a space to be heard, where you can be accepted just as you are? I have helped hundreds of people to achieve their goals for counselling. Allow me to help you find what you're looking for too.

We all have times when we find it hard to cope. Counselling can help you understand why you think, feel and act like you do. It can help you develop positive strategies to get what you want out of life. How we think, feel and behave is part of being human. Problems can arise when we get 'stuck' in negative thought patterns; when our feelings are persistently overwhelming; when our behaviour is self-destructive and doesn't result in us getting what we need; when we worry about the future, dwell on the past and find it hard to live in the present. I believe the most important relationship we have is the relationship with ourself.

Relationships are at the core of what it means to be human. If your relationship with your partner or your family is not working , then this can affect so many parts of your life. Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

Working as a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and your guide; I am experienced in approaching each client individually, this includes drawing on CBT, Gestalt, Solution Focused, Creativity and Imagery techniques with which I am able to create a flexible and individually blended therapy plan. Struggling with unhelpful behaviours or thinking patterns that are holding you back? Anxious, depressed, missing a loved one, feeling low or like you just can't think straight? I can help. I appreciate that we can all experience difficulties in our lives, and I believe that we can all benefit from counselling and therapy.

Hello, my name is Cornetta and I am the mother of an adult child. I grew up in a difficult home environment and experienced ACE. I am often asked why have I been able to stay centred and grounded. I laugh and say “I have made lots of mistakes and I am human!’ Reflecting on this, I feel it’s my ability to listen, learn, and reflect but most of all to look at my life with compassion, acceptance, openness, and love.
