Couples Counselling in Southampton

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I can support adolescents, adults and older adults, my main areas of expertise are; generalised anxiety, stress, depression and bereavement. I can support people to understand how it can affect their relationship difficulties, low confidence and self-esteem.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of human connection and the potential for growth and healing. I'm dedicated to helping you navigate life's ups and downs with empathy and understanding. My core training is in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy, trusting in you to lead the therapeutic relationship . My further training and experience has allowed me to approach therapy from a holistic perspective, recognising that mental, emotional, and physical well-being are interconnected. Together, we'll explore all aspects of your life to promote healing and growth.

Hello and welcome. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time at the moment. Each of us can go through times when we find it difficult to cope. We can feel stressed, and alone. Exploring your thoughts and feelings in a confidential space where you won’t feel judged can be a step towards clarity and change. You may feel anxious, depressed or suffer from low self-esteem. I believe each person can help themselves find the way forward towards achieving their full potential and leading happier lives. I can help you to understand yourself and to recognise changes that you can make to ease discomfort that you may be experiencing.

I am a fully qualified Relationship Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapist in private practice, I trained with Relate (also work for them) and a member of the BACP, NCPS and am a Professional Associate of COSRT (Regulatory body for sex therapists). At my Private Practice in Hampshire, LinkedUp Counselling (Please see website), I help individual and couple clients with relationship challenges, including communication and intimacy. I also offer therapy called "Single Session Therapy" where it is possible to come along for a slightly longer session and discuss one issue with more help available if this is not enough.

We need therapy at certain stages in our life to help us process feelings and thoughts - it can provide a way to manage difficult emotions and talk about ourselves in a confidential space away from loved ones and friends. My background is in Person-Centred and Existential Counselling, and I’ve been helping people since 2004. Over the years, I’ve incorporated various theories and practices into my approach, allowing me to offer a personalised, humanistic therapeutic experience. I work with individuals and couples online using Teams or Zoom and have a room in Central Southampton for face to face work.

Seeking therapy takes courage and finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. Perhaps you would like to make changes to your life but are unsure of where to begin? We can work together to help identify patterns and themes of your view of the world and yourself in it. We can think about how past experiences may have impacted on your ability to cope and function. With acquiring greater insight, awareness and meaning, we can work towards breaking destructive patterns and gain resources which will help you cope with difficulties and make profound changes to your life and relationships.

Hi. I'm Bernadette, a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor in Southampton and the New Forest area.

Do you believe you are doing the best you can but unfortunately often end up experiencing repetitive cycles of hurt and misunderstanding? When couples enter my counselling room, they are often filled with pain and despair. They look to me, to address their conflicts, help them recover from distress and repair their relationships.

Hi, I'm a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Marchwood, near Southampton but also offer online/ telephone and couple therapy sessions.

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.

I offer confidential, face to face psychotherapy to individuals (adults), couples and groups covering a wide range of issues, both long and short term. I work with a person-centred approach developed by Carl Rogers. Person-centred counselling is relationship based and its core principles are authenticity, acceptance and empathy. It is non-directive in the sense that you, as the client, decide what you want to discuss, and I will move at your own pace. You are the expert in what feels the most troubling and I, as your therapist, provide an emphatic, accepting, genuine space for you to be fully heard

Life can sometimes feel confusing, you may feel overwhelmed or stuck. Perhaps, you have recently experienced change or loss that impacted you in an unexpected way. Life events such as these can be difficult to make sense of and leave you feeling unsure or unsettled. Counselling offers a unique opportunity to explore concerns, challenges, or anxieties. I aim to provide a non-judgemental space in which you feel safe to express your thoughts and feelings and to work with you to explore whatever arises. Having someone to talk with in confidence can help identify obstacles, facilitate growth and a new awareness of yourself in the world.

Hello there and welcome. Sometimes life can be overwhelming for all sorts of reasons and we may need a little help to try and work our way through it. Counselling can give us the help we need, by offering a safe place to sit with someone who is there to help you through those tough times. I understand that the decision to have counselling can perhaps be a difficult one, but I believe that together we can ease those fears and anxieties. Then, as we begin to develop a therapeutic and healing relationship , you will hopefully begin to feel more able to share all that is on your mind.
