Adults Counselling in Stevenage

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. If you or your child need no make sense of overwhelming feelings, difficult or risky behaviours I can support you to explore and overcome what is going on for you in a confidential, safe environment. I also provide services to schools and colleges

I have worked with people from the age of 12 years old up to older adults . I have worked with people experiencing various problems; depression, anxiety, stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship and peer issues, bereavement and more. I am also an accredited member of The Foundation for Infant Loss which means I can work with parents and family members who are grieving a child. I have completed the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism.

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.

I offer a non-judgmental, accepting, confidential environment where you the client can share your thoughts and feelings. I work with adults , adolescents, children, parents and children together. My space is warm, and welcoming. Using a holistic approach we can work together on whatever you need.

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.

True compassion isn`t trying to get you to get rid of your feelings. True compassion feels your feelings with you. True compassion has a sense of wanting to relieve your suffering, but by sitting with it, not by wiping it away. True compassion validates every ounce of pain you are in and gives you hope that it can be soothed. I want to give you hope. Hope to dream, hope to have a better life. Hope for a new you. Because you deserve it.

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 that will help others to discover their true selves and move beyond their difficulties. This enables you to improve your relationship with self and others, increased self-knowledge, self-esteem and coping strategies, along with better communication and reconnecting with purpose.

My philosophy is that each of us tries to make the best sense we can of our lives, and we do what we think will help protect ourselves. However, we can get stuck in cycles where what we do actually keeps us trapped, and we become ever more distressed. These cycles might involve how we interact with the world around us, or our relationships, or how we cope with the past, but in all cases, they hold us back from the future we want.

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.

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 am a Person-Centred Counsellor who provides a warm and welcoming space to nurture and develop my client’s own inner self and power. I believe throughout life we all face moments of great difficulties; however, we have hidden depths of strength that can be discovered and utilised when given a safe place to explore. Making the decision to seek support from a counsellor can feel daunting. I will work with you to meet your needs supporting you to feel safe in your personal journey. What can initially be perceived as difficult or frightening can actually inspire insight giving the opportunity to thrive, change and move forward.
