Divorce Counselling in St Albans

Hello, I'm Lee and thanks for visiting my profile. I work with a range of differing clients from age 18 to older-age adult. I have a special interest in anxiety and related issues, such as panic attacks and stress. My training in counselling and psychotherapy is available to help you understand what is taking place when experiencing strong feelings and emotions, whether they be due to anxiety, stress, panic attacks, low mood, self-harm or a range of many other areas I can help with. An initial phone chat or Zoom costs you nothing: I'm always happy to chat through where I can help you.

Are you feeling anxious, sad or struggling to cope? Perhaps you are going through life-changing events such as bereavement, divorce , long-term illness or feelings of being stuck and not knowing how to move forwards? Whatever is troubling you, I am here to listen and would like to help you find a positive way forward. I work with adults and adolescents, providing a safe and compassionate environment where you feel comfortable to talk about any aspect of yourself or your life that is troubling you. I work in Herts, Beds and Bucks and offer on-line therapy (Zoom/Skype/video WhatsAPP), evening and weekend apps. available.

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 anxious or low in mood for whatever reason, I can help and support you through this. A light house offers hope to those travelling on turbulent seas, I see myself as that guiding light to those that find me and travel in my direction.

I work with people who are navigating life’s ups and downs. Perhaps you’re managing change or feeling stuck, finding relationships difficult and wondering why, or you may be struggling with loss. It could be you’re finding the Covid-19 crisis has changed things and you want to explore what that means for you. Or maybe you don’t know what you’re feeling but you know something isn’t quite right.

My name is Karine Flynn (MSc, MBPsS, Spc.ABA) and for the past 20 years I have been helping people understand, accept and love themselves better. My clients come to me because they do not want to spend years in therapy; instead, they wish to spend more time loving and living the lives they have. By replacing old patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you, my job is to guide you into making that a reality! Together we will find the wounds that need healing, identify the changes that could that place, and start building a life that feels more aligned, helping you regain power and take ownership of your own life.

As a professionally qualified, Relate-trained relationship specialist, I help couples; families and individuals manage and enhance their relationships by improving communication and by helping them develop a better appreciation of their own and others’ relationship needs. When facing relationship issues and crises, I work with my clients to resolve ongoing conflict, reach important decisions, and importantly; make desired changes.

I understand that contemplating counselling can be a daunting experience, but I want to reassure you I am able to offer a safe non-judgemental space for you to explore your emotions and feeling. You may wish to explore issues that have been present in your life for a long time; in your home, childhood, relationships, work, family, or it may be a recent event or trauma. Whatever the reason you are seeking counselling I can guide you to build greater trust in yourself, build self-esteem, raise your self-awareness, and increase motivation to take back control of your life. I work at your pace in a confidential supportive setting.

Therapy is a time for you. Perhaps you’re struggling with difficult feelings, stuck in old patterns of behaviour unable to see the way out, or want some ‘me' time, I can offer you a safe and confidential space in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences together, at the pace you wish. I'll listen in a warm and thoughtful way, without judgement, and we'll work together to help you process the difficulties you're facing and gain an understanding. One size doesn't fit all, so I'll support you on your own personal journey, providing you with the opportunity to be listened to, to feel understood and be thought about.

I offer a safe and confidential space for you to talk openly about any issues which may be causing you distress or concern in your life. It is not unusual for people to feel depressed or anxious at some stage in their life. Sometimes this can be related to a particular life event, other times these feelings can seem to come from nowhere. These periods can feel never ending and intense and often result in leaving you feeling isolated, confused stuck and struggling. Working with individuals, young people and couples, I provide short term solution focused therapy as well as long term therapy for issues needing more exploration.

Sometimes in life we are faced with tough emotional challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed. This could be a situation you are currently facing that has changed how you thought your life was going to look and you are struggling to come to terms with this change and what this might mean for your life now. It can be hard to feel that life will be alright again. Perhaps you are feeling frustrated and disappointed for repeating patterns of behaviour that feel impossible to change, despite desperately wanting that change. Maybe you are struggling with feelings of low self-worth and self doubt that is limiting your potential.

As a therapist for both adults & adolescents I understand the impact of today's ever changing world can have on us at any age. I will offer you the opportunity to talk through your worries and feel more emotionally tolerant for the future ahead; whichever path you choose to take. I can help you build your self-esteem and promote confidence in your own ability; using the tools you already have and new ones you'll develop. Anxiety, anger, depression & shame are words we're hearing more frequently but have we become intolerant to experiencing them? I offer you an opportunity to talk through your issues in an emotionally healthy way.

Most of us want a sense of purpose, need meaning, and strive for balance and peace in our lives. My clients are often working through difficult and knotty issues which can evoke confusion, sadness and shame. If you are thinking about therapy you may be feeling sad, lost, confused, anxious, angry, depressed or overwhelmed. Or you may want to take a step back, reassess your life and start to live it differently. Whatever your situation I will work with you to help you reach an accommodation and understanding which helps you to move forwards with your life in a positive way.

In the 30 years since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist, I have worked with people in both physical and mental health services I have substantial experience in helping and supporting children, young people, parents, adults, couples, families who are experiencing difficulties in life. I have a strong belief that people are inherently resilient and resourceful, and that with the right help and support people can overcome their problems and lead a happy and fulfilling life. In all my work I aim to help people to develop, restore or strengthen connections with those who are important in their lives.

Taking the step to ask for help is often the hardest thing we do. I think as adults we feel as if we "should be able to cope" or "others have it harder" and that in some way needing help or someone to talk to in difficult times is showing a weakness. We invest time and money in keeping our bodies in shape and while that is the vehicle that gets us through our life we need to care for our other parts too. Our emotions and our relationships constantly need recognition and yet we only seek help when we reach a crisis point. So whether you are at a crisis point or struggling with anxiety, depression or a bereavement I am here to help.
