Adults Counselling in Stevenage

I am a warm, friendly person and a good listener. I have a very empathic understanding and vast experiences from my own personal life. This has shaped me to be the person I am today. Things from our childhoods and certain traumas, can have us acting out behaviours that can be damaging to us. I have experience working with relationship breakdowns, alcohol addiction, depression, anxiety and self harm. I have worked with adolescents and adults of all disabilities. I've worked a great deal with confidence building and low self-esteem. I can help you recognise these behaviours and what triggers them.

Adult and Child centred interventions underpinned by trauma informed practice. Hello...My name is Lorraine Diston, I am a post graduate Person-Centred counsellor and Play therapist with a specialism of working with trauma, abuse and bereavement. I work with children and young people through the medium of play and creativity as well as adults and families experiencing difficult feelings and discord. I provide freelance counselling services to schools, colleges and charities.

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.

Hi, I’m Debbie and I have expertise and proven experience of helping clients, from all walks of life and diversity, move forward with their lives. Perhaps your issues come from a difficult past or childhood abuse or trauma? I help with self esteem and identity, stress and sleep issues. Or maybe you are struggling with your relationship or the aftermath of COVID 19? I provide a calm and safe environment in which to explore what is important to you and at your own pace.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. I work in an NHS Specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. I have 10 years’ experience of working in mental health (clinical, research and teaching experience) after being based in therapeutic services within the community and hospital settings in and around London as well as abroad. I have experience offering therapeutic support to people across the lifespan (children, adolescents and adults ) for a range of difficulties from mild to severe.

I am qualified to work with people with anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression; identity confusion and change; coming out; self-esteem and shame, trauma and post-traumatic stress and also survivors of sexual abuse. I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced in working with young people and adults and with people in a range of relationship styles including monogamous, polyamorous and open relationships. I work with all members of LGBT+ and those who do not identify as such but are questioning or exploring this aspect of their sexuality, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Deciding to see a counsellor and making that first contact can be a huge step. It is okay to feel nervous about it. Maybe this is the first time and you don't know what to expect or how things work. Stepping into an unknown situation can be really uncomfortable. I will do everything I can to address your worries and concerns, I will explain what you can expect from me and how the process works. During the counselling session, I  provide a safe place where you can share your thoughts, feelings and concerns in as much detail as you wish. You will neither be judged nor have ideas or opinions imposed upon you.

When was the last time someone gave you permission to just play? I'm an Art Therapist who is passionate about exploring difficult feelings and emotions through the use of the art medium in a creative and trusting environment. Working with adults , young people and children, I go with the pace of the client and encourage the use of playing with the art materials to explore a range of issues a person may be experiencing. I work with people so they may explore themselves on a deeper level to overcome challenges, whether those are problems in relationships, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement or fears and worries about the future.

In life we can become stuck, lost or we might just want to change something because it isn’t working anymore. I offer therapy as a safe space for you to come and talk to me about whatever it is you need to, without being judged or criticised. I am trained as an integrative therapist and draw from a range of different therapeutic theories, from attachment theory to trauma work and the affects trauma can have on the body. I’m aware that, sometimes, we can’t find the words to explain or express our feelings and so, if this happens, I will also offer you the option to work creatively, with art materials or sand trays.

Hello and welcome to my page My name is Eileen Whaymand And I  am an experienced Person Centred counsellor offering confidential counselling for individuals and couples in Stevenage and surrounding areas.

Established in 2014, 5th Avenue Counselling is the practice of Marianne Mikhail Msc, offering an accessible option when you need therapeutic support, or just a space to talk and be heard.

I am a qualified Person centred therapist and I work in the Oakscross area of Stevenage. I understand that counselling may feel daunting at first but I will provide you with a non-judgemental, compassionate, calm and understanding environment, so you can talk through any issues you have and together we can find solutions. I will facilitate an environment where you feel safe to open up to the issues you may be experiencing. Talking enables you to improve your relationship with self and others, increased self-knowledge, self-esteem and coping strategies, along with better communication and to feel happier with life again.

My ethos, a commitment to create a confidential, safe space, making room for painful feelings where you can be heard and understood. It is by exploring the depths of your thoughts and feelings and allowing you to speak the unspoken, without being judged. Whilst therapeutic approaches vary, the relationship between us, is ultimately the key to therapeutic change. I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

If you are looking for a therapist to help and support you, then look no further! Hi my name is Kellie and I am an accredited therapist. I specialise in anxiety and can help you to free yourself from this prison! we can explore issues you are experiencing and how we will work together, so you get the best therapy and the best outcome. I work as a CBT therapist so together you can learn to think and feel in a different way, I also you the person- centred approach where we look at past issues and bring them into the here and now. Both theories work great together. We can work on-line or face to face the choice is up to you.

Are you struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, important and/or difficult decisions, relationship issues, any other issue/issues? I am a BACP registered integrative therapist who is passionate about people's well-being. I believe we all have the capability and drive within us to live our best lives, however, due to various circumstances this can become diminished. I believe our past affects our present and can affect our future, in addition to often being a contributory factor to our diminished drive and capabilities.

I love to work with people who are trying to find their way: especially in young adulthood, after a major life change, or looking both backwards and forwards in mid-life. I am also very interested in working with people who want to make a social or environmental impact in their life. I think we're all trying to move forward in life: to do that it can help to think about where you are right now, to understand yourself and what you have to give the world.
