Domestic Abuse Counselling in Rainhill

Welcome to this page, I am Virginia, an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I have a profound passion for working with clients who have experienced Narcisisstic abuse, either romantic or parental, and loss. Recognizing the presence of a narcissistic individual can be subtle yet deeply impactful. In the case of a parent, telltale signs include enduring harsh criticism, feeling perpetually inadequate no matter your efforts, and facing attempts at control through guilt-tripping or excessive demands for attention. Their lack of empathy leaves you feeling unheard and invalidated, and their mood swings keep you un edge and unsure

I am a fully qualified, person-centred counsellor and a clinical hypnotherapist, registered with the BACP. I always work with my clients in a way that allows them to feel safe, valued and respected. I facilitate spaces that allow my clients to lead sessions and explore their feelings in a non judgemental and confidential environment. Together we work to reach their best self, both psychologically and physiologically, no matter what their concerns are.

Hi, my name is Gerri and I am an experienced relationship counsellor. In these worrying days of Coronavirus, our mental health and well-being is being put under greater strain. The impact of this may be affecting your relationships and family life, you may be feeling anxious, worried about your finances, work or your business. Getting support at this time can make a huge difference to how we cope. I offer counselling to individuals and couples.

Are you feeling the impact of life's difficult issues right now? Struggles with finances, work, relationships etc can intensify previous issues, or cause new issues that have a real effect on us every day; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, insecurity, loneliness, grief, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is not easy and yet completely normal to be feeling that way given life's challenges. Its often a relief just to talk and offload about what is happening. I offer a safe non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours to do just that and to help you figure out what's best for you moving forwards.

I am here for you to provide you with a safe, confidential space as we work together to help you gain insight, self-awareness, clarity, confidence and positive growth towards greater fulfilment.

Whatever the issue we can explore them in-person or online or by telephone.

Hi, my name is Debbie. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you are reading you have already taken the first step...I provide counselling for children, young people, adults.

I work mainly from a Cognitive Behavioural Approach and also have trained and gained experience utilising hypnotherapy, person centred, transactional analysis, solution focused and NLP approaches. Initial experience working in the field of domestic abuse included working with complex co-existing issues. I have also gained experience with dependency issues and duel diagnosis. I volunteered with the Liverpool Hearing Voices Group for three years, this has allowed me to gain invaluable experience working with more challenging Mental Health and Emotional issues.

Hi I am Clare, thank you for visiting my profile. I am a person centred integrative counsellor and hypnotherapist based in Liverpool, UK. I have lived experience of mental health difficulties and I am passionate about helping others to understand their experiences of life's ups and downs. Life is hard and for some of us, it is harder still. Relationship difficulties, adverse childhood experiences, abuse (past or present), addiction, displacement, poor mental or physical health, feeling burnt out, being bullied or exhausted by the many demands of family and modern life. If you have felt such issues I can help you.

With an extensive background of working in mental health I have worked with issues such as depression and anxiety, and personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and abuse. Ive worked with those who have had circumstantial problems such as loss, relationship issues/breakdowns, historical and current relationship breakdowns, adverse childhood experiences, isolation and complex mental health needs. No issue is too much or too overwhelming, as I believe with the right support, patience and care, we can both find the solution and the unravelling of the meaning of the problem to know how to take one step forward.

Deciding to start therapy is a big step for many people and it is important to feel safe and in good hands. Acknowledging this, I have undergone several years of rigorous training at accredited institutes, and have spent over ten years working in clinical, charity and educational settings. Before opening this practice, a large portion of my work took place in schools, including managing several school based therapy services, and providing supervision to trained and trainee therapists. Most recently, I have worked in a specialist NHS service, supporting survivors of acute and historic sexual abuse.

I believe each of us have the capacity to grow to reach our true potential. What can influence or inhibit our positive growth? Our life experiences are affected by childhood events, our relationships with parents. siblings, other family members, friendships, work etc, Our soil can be contaminated by others in our lives when we experience childhood trauma, grief, loss, shame and witnessing violence. being in abusive relationships, life and death situations. These experiences influence us as we grow up, our emotions, our beliefs, our thoughts and our behaviours. This can make us feel depressed, anxious, derailed and scared.

Gillian’s approach is extremely client focused whilst promoting integrative counselling including CBT, tailored to suit the individual needs of her clients. She offers a professional and confidential space where clients can explore and understand their experiences and the root to their problems, helping them to process difficult and strong emotions whilst assisting them to break the cycle of negative thinking and subsequent behaviors. Gillian collaboratively works with her clients to facilitate personal growth which encourages her clients to feel more positive about themselves enabling them to live a fuller and happier life.

We all experience difficult times in our lives, suffering anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship issues, grief, bereavement, physical illness, emotional/physical abuse, low mood, and low motivation, to name just a few of the reasons people come to therapy. At times we will feel like we don’t want to ‘burden’ people with how we feel so we try to push through and carry on, we try to pretend all is ok, we try and cope by putting on a smile and a brave face, often we simply find we are unable to move forward and feel stuck.

fight or flight? I am offering you (youth and adults) no judgement and assumption, if you need to talk of anxiety, abuse, lose of self, lowself-esteem or you dont know of your character, there are times in our life that we need to confined-in because we are human being, so using life experiences and knowledges of sophisticated people whom they spent their life to take the knowledge and give it to others for a better life, and what ever is concerning you or to whom it may concern.

As an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP I understand that not one therapeutic approach fits all. Instead I take into account, you as an individual and your circumstances, and use elements of different approaches to support in your journey. I will provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment to help you explore any topic you wish. Unsure how to move forward, apprehensive about counselling, not sure what to expect from counselling then I am here for you. I have supported people with trauma, ACEs, bereavement/loss, domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self worth and general wellbeing
