Elders (65+) Counselling in St Albans

Hello, my name is Michelle Harris (previously Bennett); I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, accredited with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP).

I understand it can be hard to approach therapy for the first time, or maybe you are currently in need of support during an uncertain time or are feeling distressed. It can feel difficult knowing where to start. We would work together to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours so you can better understand yourself and others. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can support you and give you understanding about your emotional responses to life events and skills to cope in times of stress. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can begin to make sense of your feelings and to identify how you would like to move forward.

I am a psychotherapist, family practitioner and Arts Psychotherapist. I work with Individuals, family’s and groups as a qualified HCPC therapist with experience in the NHS, offering therapy for people who are experiencing all types of distress. I am person centred and facilitate a safe space for you to explore what is going on for you.In Music Therapy I offer developmental learning as well as free improvisation in the 'here and now'. I focus on clients having a strong sense of identity within the creativity in the client/therapist relationship.

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.

Are you upset and overwhelmed by relationships, work situations, family issues? That sense of panic and over thinking where your body feels stressed & the anxiety rockets? Did something happen that you have not shared with anyone, or feel nobody ‘gets it’? Has it felt too big & yet needs sorting and resolving? It’s understandable to feel frustrated, anxious or angry. Dealing with those feelings while maintaining a family, job & ‘a busy life’ can feel like hard work. “There needs to be more to life” & “It needs to be better than this “ are often said. To feel free from the past, to build a confidence in yourself.

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples. Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, EMDR (Adult, Adolescent & Child) Therapist and Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) with experience working within Adult & Child and Adolescent Mental Health settings. I aim to offer a compassionate and person-centred approach to support people to understand how their problems have come to be and work together to resolve the issues that bring them to therapy.

I'm Annie, MBACP registered and highly experienced having spent years in law, industry and media as well as psychotherapy. I use a mixture of tradition and modern therapeutic techniques. My background means I work with professionals who may have anxiety and stress at work or experiencing life's transitions including navigating divorce, relationships or issues with addiction. It might be you feel anxious, overwhelmed or something just feels not right at work or home. Many of my clients find that working with me is often the bridge they need between where they are now and where they want to be and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor offering individual or couples therapy face to face or online, I am also a counselling supervisor. Taking the first steps to access counselling may feel a little overwhelming but this can lead to increased self esteem and knowledge, better relationships with loved ones and a greater quality of life. I offer a safe, warm and comfortable environment to work together to explore what may be going on for you and discover opportunities for change.

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.

I wish you during these extraordinary times of world changes - and any other challenges - the very best for yourself and those close to you. My practice is open for in person & video sessions. I am here for you to talk about your emotional, psychological and spiritual/transpersonal and mindfulness issues. I taught at Universities and present at conferences. With 25+ years of practice I offer you a confidential space to explore your feelings and thoughts e.g. about anxiety, depression, suicide, relationships, death and dying, spiritual journey, meaning in life. I am here for you for any other issue you wish to talk about.

Often people just feel like something is not quite right but are unable to articulate what it may be until they have counselling. I'll provide the space for you to be able to make sense of things. I have worked with people that have felt stuck in their lives or need support around making a life changing decision. I have experience working with anxiety, depresssion, trauma, loss of identity, childhood neglect, workplace stress, self-esteem and more. Although I see clients from a range of backgrounds, I have a specialism in offering culturally sensitive counselling.

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.
