Domestic Abuse Counselling in Shrewsbury

I understand how daunting it can be seeking counselling and finding a counsellor who you can trust and be honest and open with. I aim to provide a professional, safe, confidential and non judgmental space in which you will be able to explore recent and long standing personal issues and to gain a greater understanding of your unhappiness and distress and find a way to manage this. My main priority is to make this a positive experience for you, and for the changes to be long standing.

Anxiety, depression, social anxiety, health anxiety, habits, addictions, abuse , relationship problems, and work-related stress are just some of the mental health distresses that lead us to counselling. It is important for you to feel safe and listened to throughout our therapeutic relationship in a private confidential setting. Let me help you find the answers without judgment. I offer one-to-one sessions face to face in Church Stretton or Shrewsbury. I also provide telephone counselling ideal if you feel more comfortable in your own setting.

Do you feel stuck? Are you having panic attacks or feeling numb and detached? Are you avoiding places and people, short tempered and on edge all the time? Do you feel overwhelmed by intense feelings that remind you of something that happened a long time ago? Are you struggling to sleep, having dreams and nightmares? Maybe you are experiencing what is often described as trauma or PTSD. Events such as childhood abuse , bullying, assaults in adulthood, car accidents, domestic violence - all can lead to symptoms and responses that result in you being stuck in the past.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor/psychotherapist with over 16 years experience of counselling adults with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, workplace issues, substance misuse, domestic abuse , sexual trauma. I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I use a variety of approaches and will tailor the support to meet your needs. I offer both short-term counselling as well as longer-term counselling/psychotherapy, depending on your needs.

I specialise in supporting people who are finding life difficult or finding it hard to find a way forward; people with difficulties around sadness, depression, fear or anxiety, PTSD, trauma, recovering from abuse , or feeling stuck in their lives. Trauma and abuse can leave people with feelings of being alone, worthless, broken, or hopeless and helpless. People however, absolutely hold the seeds of their recovery within themselves, and with the right support and encouragement, they can start to build a better life with meaning and value. I aim to use my training, and knowledge and experience, to support people in their journey.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burnt out, ill? Maybe your needs always go to the bottom of the pile. Or maybe you're exhausted from putting so much effort into fitting in and taking care of everyone else. •You might not know who you are because how can you be you when you have to be who everyone else wants you to be? •You might accept all sorts of crap for fear of being rejected or not liked. •You might feel lost and dissatisfied with life, friendships, relationships, work. •You might be exhausted, anxious, burnt out from prioritizing other people’s happiness over your own comfort.

I am an Integrative Relational Psychologist, which means that I am trained in a range of different approaches and adapt my approach based upon your therapeutic needs. I can provide both long and short term interventions for adults, children or parents and consultation and training to organisations and schools.

I provide a space that is free of judgement, in which you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, options and healing at your own pace. I have a masters degree in trauma and PTSD and I am also trained in the Rewind Technique, which means you do not have to tell me about the traumatic event if you don't want to, but you do have to think about it. My way of working is person-centred-based, but I do bring in other interventions like CBT, mindfulness, trauma-interventions and creative therapy. To see a list of other training I have done, please visit the About Me section on my website.

I work with couples, individuals and students from yr6 upwards. My training allows me to support clients to change, by raising their awareness of what they're doing and the effect of their choices on them and others. The main areas I look at are communication, how they listen and respond to others and why they respond in that way. Once the client is aware of where the response is coming from they can begin to adjust it, to fit the situation in front of them. I work with couples and children experiencing separation and loss either now or in the past, and help them to understand and regulate their feelings.

I practice in a non-judgemental way which is individual to each client. My aim is to empower you and help you to live your most fulfilling life by encouraging you to recognise your inner resources and strength and to support your emotional wellbeing. I will work with you to help you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain valuable new perspectives about yourself and your situation and to give you a greater sense of control and choice in your life. I can offer weekly or twice monthly counselling sessions on a long, medium, or short-term basis. We can often make a difference in just a few sessions.

I am passionate about offering support to you during this challenging time. I provide a safe and confidential space. A non judgemental environment will allow you to tell your story and feel heard. Together we can discuss what has brought you to therapy, discover coping strategies and explore future goals. Counselling can help you to understand yourself and others better.

It is possible to explore in-depth what stops us from being our true or best selves, to rediscover and reconnect with what’s alive in us, and to allow us the possibility of changing unhelpful patterns. I believe that every individual is unique and I will tailor the therapeutic process to what suits you, working collaboratively, with a naturally developing process according to what is important and of value to you.
