Asperger's Syndrome Counselling in Salisbury

Hello, I am Laura and welcome to my profile. I do not underestimate the internal challenges you have encountered to start a therapy journey, nor how overwhelming it is to choose the ‘right’ therapist. Especially when identifying your needs and articulating them, can feel at times frustrating or impossible. I would like to reassure you that you are not alone, and I invite you to notice how far you have already come. You may have specific goals in mind, or for now you just know you’re struggling, and things seem more difficult for you than it appears for others, and you would value support. Because very often, life feels hard.

My work is with children, young people and young adults who are finding it difficult to manage difficulties relating to mood, anxiety, educational challenges, exam anxiety, transitions between school and university, and both expected and unexpected life changes. In addition to this, I have specialist skills and experience in working with children, young people and adults on the autism spectrum (some of whom may also have associated learning disabilities). I also have significant experience working with looked after children, both within fostering and residential care settings.

Hi….I am Heidi. I have over 13 years experience providing direct therapy for many different concerns including anxiety/panic, depression, loss, stress, low self esteem, self harm, trauma, eating disorders and more. I also have additional training in neuropsychology and support clients in understanding the mind and body connection. I can help you build a life that is meaningful and fulfilling despite all the challenges and stresses that life can bring. Together we can work towards your own personal goals … for therapy and beyond!

Our early life experiences may impact on the way we form relationships as adults; struggling to connect with others, and we may even struggle to feel a connection with ourselves. Any kind of trauma at a young age, may be the cause of that disconnect. Sometimes leading to the same issues or patterns of behaviour coming up over and over again. Our work will involve engaging with your experiences in a compassionate and curious way. Giving you the space you need to make sense of/begin to understand your lived experience.

I work predominantly with clients with complex PTSD, PTSd or PTS and/or neuro-diversity/ADHD/Childhood-Adolescent Developmental Trauma/Military Service or life in general. We can feel psychologically and emotionally dysregulated, unable to control our emotional response / triggers, leaving us feeling angry/anxious/depressed/overwhelmed or shutdown. By helping you to regulate your nervous system, chronic stress activation can be reduced, allowing the mind and the body to think and perceive situations and events differently, which helps us to feel safe and secure. Less reactivity, leads to improved mental health.

Beginning therapy is a brave and sometimes difficult decision. My approach is to build a trusting relationship where we can work in collaboration with one another. If you're struggling, the most important thing I hope you to feel in my practice is safe, safe to explore your feelings and experiences so that together we can help establish a way forward. Please note that occasional responses to enquiries can land in your email's "junk" or "spam" folder. If you are waiting for a reply, please check there. I aim to respond to all enquiries within three working days.

My CBT, Psychology and Psychiatry colleagues and I work together, supporting each other in providing a tailored, timely service, with warmth, confidentiality, and professionalism at it's heart. We now offer this service on-line as well as face to face within our small team at our two practices in Salisbury and Stockbridge UK . You can arrange a telephone discussion with one of our senior Practitioners, free of charge, giving you the opportunity to explore your specific needs and wishes and allowing us to suggest recommendations from within or outside our team.

I am a fully qualified person centred therapist with over 15 years experience. I specialise in working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression and stress and take great pleasure in seeing clients make progress. In each session, I apply the core conditions of the person centred approach; empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. Sessions with me are non-directive and non-judgmental, helping to create a supportive environment where you can share your journey freely. Together, we will work through the challenges you're facing and work towards a place where you can feel at ease with yourself.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years post qualified experience in the NHS. I am experienced in using psychological therapies to help individuals, couples, families and older people presenting with a wide range of mental health distress. I am interested in issues around self esteem/identity/culture, childhood neglect, trauma, difficult relationships, mood problems and managing long term health conditions. I also work with adults with ASD/ADHD. In addition to working with distress I offer ‘life reflection’ sessions for individuals who just need a space to ‘pause’ and think about their wellbeing, and for self development.

Firstly I would like to commend you for finding the courage to reach out. My name is Nichola and I am a qualified Humanistic Gestalt Counsellor. I am a very easy person to talk to with a down to earth approach . As a counsellor realise that life brings with it for a lot of past and present problems which can have a knock on effect on your mental health and on the relationships around you. It may be that your the person with a partner who is dealing with a mental health issue and you feel you need someone to talk to. Whatever it is that has brought you here I will work with you side by side on your journey.

Are you feeling lost, confused, not sure who to turn to? I have over 10 years as a psychiatric nurse before becoming a trained counselor which allows me to bring a wide variety of experience and skills to my work. I will help you to navigate through the difficulties you are experiencing and help you to discover any underlying issues that may be contributing to current feelings. Therapy will give you the opportunity to regain control in your life and feel empowered, identify new ways of coping and strategies going forwards as well as greater understanding of yourself and your needs.

I strongly believe that in order to provide the best possible psychological help there is a need to build tailored, high-quality programmes for each and every client. I offer a bespoke approach with a strong focus on discretion, privacy and confidentiality.
