Counselling in Rickmansworth

I support people with anxiety and/or chronic pain to live a more balanced life. Anxiety can be debilitating and overwhelming. I will work with you to understand what life is like for you and to offer new perspective and ways of coping. We often 'block' thoughts as a coping strategy, and whilst this can be very useful, it can increase anxiety. If you experience physical symptoms such as headaches, IBS, joint pain or fibromyalgia, your body may be literally holding the weight of your anxiety. We can consider whether a more holistic approach will help you–exploring the connection between your physical symptoms and your anxiety.

My name is Zoe Chegwidden. I am a Person-centred Counsellor based in Rickmansworth. I work in private practise, I voulanteer with the counselling agency Number 22 and I am a counselling tutor. I love what I do and have a real passion for helping people.

People often seek psychotherapy because they are feeling overwhelmed or are experiencing some kind of emotional pain. Issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self esteem, low self confidence or anger are often the symptoms of past traumas and experiences. I offer an opportunity to identify and overcome these, or other difficult feelings you may be experiencing. During a free initial 30 minute consultation we can establish if we are able to work together and whether counselling feels right for you. We can explore the reasons you have decided to seek support at this time and agree the focus of our sessions.

I am an Integrative therapist and work with both adults and teenagers who feel they have experienced a loss. This loss may have negatively affected your ability to manage your life and impacted on other relationships. You may feel lonely, powerless, or trapped. You may not know what you want but feel that you have reached a crossroads in your life, unsure of the way forward. You may feel that life events have spiralled out of control leaving you feeling overwhelmed. I work in a way which is tailored to your individual needs so it is always you who is at the centre of our work together.

I am an experienced, qualified and approachable psychotherapist working with individual adults. Feelings of depression, anxiety or a lack of direction or meaning in life need to be understood in a broad context. By looking at our whole life we can uncover who we really are and where we wish to go. I offer a safe space where troublesome, dark and difficult feelings can be examined and explored - by bringing them into the light we open up the possibility of facing and understanding them.

Life can throw all kinds of events, expected or unexpected, at us. We experience those changes with a full range of emotions and sometimes it’s difficult to understand and acknowledge these feelings. We can choose to ignore them and gradually they start to affect the way we go about our daily lives. Others may notice the changes that we struggle to accept......With the right conditions and support you have the ability to harness your inner energy to regenerate and find new ways to grow and thrive once again. I offer you the space to explore, walking alongside you, supporting you safely on that journey.

Hi, I am a Certified Play & Creative Arts Therapist. I offer a holistic, integrative approach; developmentally appropriate for children age 4-11yrs in 1:1 or small group sessions. These take place either in school or at my private therapy room in Hertfordshire. In todays society children have so many external pressures and stresses, these can sometimes feel overwhelming. As a former Paediatric Nurse, I am aware of the significant impact this can have on children’s mental health and well-being.

I am a person-centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). There are times in life when people can experience unmanageable or emotionally overwhelming feelings and behaviours or maybe a trauma that may persist even if there is support from friends and loved ones. I encourage my clients to fully explore their experiences and help them accept who they are and what is out of their personal control, so they can better understand their current situation and improve their lives.

Specialising in empowering women of all ages, I can help you with a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, physical & mental health issues, PTSD, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, addiction, loss and bereavement. I offer both short-term counselling and longer, open-ended work.

There is no ideal client. Its not that you need therapy but that everyone needs to try therapy. Why you ask? Something doesn't have to be wrong for you to consider therapy. Its about knowing yourself, why you are the way you are, it's about your story in your own words. It's an exploration of 'you'. Therapy can be a way to understand how and why we relate to ourselves, to parents, partners, children, the social world on a conscious and unconscious level. Counselling and Psychotherapy is a journey that empowers you to find the resources within you to make the transformation you need to make in your life.

There are times in our life where we can feel like we are a little bit stuck in a problem, issue or feeling. Or that we are going round in circles not sure of the best way to move forward. Perhaps something in your past is holding you back from living the life you want. Or maybe it is an issues in your life at the moment that is causing you emotional pain. Whatever difficulty you are experiencing I offer you my help and support to help you move towards the life you want. Anxiety, low mood, low self esteem/confidence, relationship difficulties, life changes and trauma are just some of the things people come to see me for.

I am a qualified and UKCP registered psychotherapist, and I currently practice in Hertfordshire WD3 and WD19.

Welcome to Amber Therapy, I’m Andrea and I have been growing Amber Therapy here in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire since 2015. I like being listened to, I appreciate being heard.

A warm welcome! I understand that starting therapy can be daunting and this is the first step. It is important that you feel safe to share your concerns, that may mean we start our work together slowly; your therapy, your pace. As our relationship builds I will aim to gently bring your awareness to how you connect to others and the world around you, seeing if we can identify any patterns. We can look together at your current coping strategies and if these are still working for you. Your therapeutic journey will be as unique as you are and for that reason I work in a variety of ways all aimed at meeting your goals.

I am a warm, friendly, non-judgemental, professional counsellor who is experienced at helping you achieve your goals for seeking counselling. I am an integrative counsellor, who uses CBT, person centred, psychodynamic, and gestalt counselling, modalities. This allows me to work uniquely inflexibly with you to help resolve any issues or gain perspective. I work in a client centred way, which means that we can explore what you wish to bring to the sessions. I work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework which insures a high standard of quality counselling. You will be listened to and accepted.

When life gets difficult or you are faced with challenges, I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment for you to discuss issues that are impacting your life. Providing a space for you to share and reflect on emotional, mental, and behavioural issues that may be troubling or difficult to work through; I will help you gain an insight in to your unconscious thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Through gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, you can begin to feel more in control of your inner world, develop new perspectives, and acquire more helpful ways of coping and relating to others.

I know that it can be daunting reaching out for help and that many people never do reach out, perhaps because they are the strong ones who are supporting everyone else around them so their needs are at the bottom of the long list of things to do and people to look after. Please know that you are important too. And in helping yourself, you are also helping those around you. If you are feeling troubled, I'm here to listen without judgement and I can help and support you to work towards feeling better. Remember tomorrow is a bright new day and there is always hope.
