Self Esteem Counselling in Salisbury

In therapy we work out what needs to change so you can feel happier in yourself and in your relationships . We find the tools you need to deal with what's happening now and the space to explore your past and what you want for your future. When we don't change what feels wrong it doesn't just go away. Sometimes it feels so difficult or confusing we don't even know where to start. Getting some help is a start.

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.

We all experience struggles in our lives, and counselling offers a safe and confidential space in which we can feel fully supported and valued as we navigate through these challenges. As an Integrative Counsellor, I work with many different clients with various difficulties. I have a particular interest in working with clients struggling with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I also have experience and interest in working with clients who are coping with significant change in their lives such as loss, bereavement, relationship endings and changes in family or employment circumstances.

As a qualified counsellor, I offer a place where you can share the things that you’re struggling with at the moment, where you'll be really heard and where you can feel at ease to be your true self. Talking about your problems can help you find ways to manage what’s going on for you right now and help you to feel better.  It gives you the chance to explore your feelings, understand yourself more and overcome difficulties.   I offer tailored therapy which is as individual as you are and my focus will always be on you and your needs and your wants in each session.

I have experience of working with clients with a wide variety of issues including depression, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, loss, stress, low self esteem , self-harm, suicidal ideation and relationship issues. We all deal with emotional issues in our lives from time to time and it is when those issues become overwhelming and begin to get in the way of us living a fulfilling life, that it might be the right time to seek counselling. In my practice I offer a genuine, friendly and non-judgmental relationship with my clients.

There is a lot of mystery surrounding therapy. I strive to be clear, open and real with my clients so, whilst the work may sometimes be challenging, it is always collaborative and they feel safe and respected as they come to better understand their deepest needs.

I aim to provide a non-judgemental space where you can explore what's going on for you, and what influences your feelings around it. I believe that understanding our experience is the key to feeling like we're in control of our own lives. We can work together to establish what you want to work on, and potentially a time frame to work within - your choice!

"There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in" (Leonard Cohen). I love this. We all have problems, things we don't like about ourselves, things we struggle with over and over. It's part of being human, none of us are completely 'sorted'. But sometimes we feel overwhelmed, desperate, alone.... the cracks are too big, the light isn't getting in. Or we feel stuck, frustrated, exhausted, going round in circles, nothing will ever change. Perhaps you feel you can't be the real you. Maybe you feel like this a lot, or maybe it's new for you and your usual coping/support isn't working. Maybe you don't know what's wrong.

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.

When life presents challenges, we often have to face fear, deal with crisis and difficult issues. If our normal coping mechanisms are not enough, this is when we can seek additional support and counselling is often the next step. I trained to become a counsellor as I realised how much I appreciate learning about and listening to the unique life stories of each individual. To be able to sit with clients and work collaboratively to help initiate change, is often a humbling experience and a position in which I feel privileged to be in.

Life can be overwhelming at times, and we don’t have the head space to process what has gone on or is going on. Sometimes leading to anxieties, worries, depression, self-harm, unhelpful habits, disordered eating, stress and so on. Counselling creates the time and head space to explore and process where and why these issues have arisen. Reducing these unwanted aspects, creates space for balance and better mental wellbeing in life.
