Counselling in Thame

We can all probably recognise times in our lives where we feel 'stuck', tired of feeling anxious or helpless, aware maybe of repeating the same patterns of behaviour but unable to get out of it. Or perhaps a big life event or sudden news has left us feeling lost or bewildered. We may know that we are possibly catastrophizing or prone to taking things personally, but it isn't always easy to know how to be any different. My clients come to me for a safe, confidential space to understand themselves better and learn to manage difficult emotions.

I have a keen interest in working with individuals who are seeking self-awareness. Art Therapy allows expression that is not based on spoken language only. You don't need any artistic skills or any previous experience in creative expression. I hope for clients to learn their own skills and tools to heal and transform and be their best possible self. I know how hard life can be due to situations from past and present that affect us.

Do you feel anxious, depressed or ‘stuck’? Perhaps you are struggling to move on from difficult experiences, feel overwhelmed or in constant physical pain. Or maybe you'd just like to find a calm space to untangle your thoughts. I use a wide range of tried and tested counselling and meditative techniques to help you feel more hopeful and optimistic right from the first session...

If you always seem to be in unhappy relationships; suffer from anxiety or depression; feel angry all the time; are struggling with addictive behaviors; feel in constant emotional pain; or feel like no-one really listens to you properly or notices what you are going through; then I can offer you the time and space to be seen and heard, and start to work through what you are facing.

I am a SPECIALIST RELATIONSHIP THERAPIST - working with COUPLES, FAMILIES and INDIVIDUALS who are seeking help on working with all aspects of relationship difficulties. Are you in a cycle of arguments that you cannot escape? Or faced with issues that are making you feel anxious or depressed? If so communication is often at the heart of the problem and talking with an experienced therapist in a calm and non-judgemental environment can allow for a different way to communicate leading to a more effective way to understand and be understood.

Do you feel lost or overwhelmed sometimes? Feel like you have nobody to talk to? You may feel unloved, unheard and ignored. It may feel like you are not good enough. We all deserve somebody to talk to in our darker days and I can offer you a safe, confidential and nurturing space to help you with this journey. Together we can explore any challenges you may be facing, to allow you to make positive changes in your life. Check out my testimonials on my website to see how I have helped others and how I may be able to help you too. I have helped clients work on their grief, work on their anxiety, depression and also just for them to chat

I have over 20 years experience of working with children and young people with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties. CBT has been shown to be particularly helpful for those with all types of anxiety and depression. Working together, we would explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in order to develop different ways of managing emotions and strategies for coping. I work closely with parents and carers wherever possible in order to provide the best support for the child or young person but I’m guided by the individual needs of the young person.

Are you in pain or struggling within your body such as experiencing stiffness? Has a medical professional ever made you feel like it's all in your head? I know and understand your suffering.

When you find yourself dealing with an unexpected life event or feelings that are overwhelming and hard to cope with, I feel it is the power of connection in relationship that can be the greatest source of support. This emphasis on connection allows us to create a therapeutic relationship where focussing on your needs is at the heart of the work together. I can offer support with coping strategies, understanding emotions and behaviours, to try to make sense of what may be going on for you underneath the surface.

I am a Person Centred Therapist by training, I also managed a Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme, addressing Anxiety Stress and Depression, delivered training on the Solution Focussed approach and promote healthy living. I provide support to clients in relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, grief and loss, emotional distress and helping clients to deal with change, transition and trauma. Working globally has given me a very broad experience of working with a wide range of issues across the world and in the UK, and I am passionate about providing confidential client centred help and support.

I believe that at times, we all struggle with life difficulties and need someone who understand and sees us. There can be huge barriers to fairness in our society and this, along with the pressures of relationships, social media, work and expectations of others, can reduce our ability to cope alone. I believe that counselling can play a key role in helping us navigate these difficulties and face the future with a little more optimism.

If you would like someone to listen to you and help you find ways to manage your emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma or difficult life events then counselling can help. I work with young people and adults in private practise situated in Aylesbury and Thame. I offer a confidential non-judgemental safe and comfortable environment, allowing my client's to express and explore themselves, their feelings, thoughts and concerns.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unhappy, stuck or confused? Therapy can help. Whether you need short-term or long-term support, I can offer you the time and space to explore what’s going on and how your experiences are affecting you. Building a trusting relationship together, in which you can talk openly and honestly, can help deepen understanding about yourself, your emotions, your experiences and your relationships; develop your confidence and resilience and help you find more positive ways of dealing with your issues.

Is it time your life changed? Worried about the future, or troubled by the past? Considering and accessing counselling is not the easiest decision to make. I am an experienced relational counsellor that has a genuine care for others and their overall wellbeing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationships, stress, depression, I will work at your pace, to find the right answers for you, tailoring sessions around the issues that you are encountering. I do this by aiming to create a safe space for you to explore those areas of your life, that you feel are difficult or challenging.

For most of us, therapy/coaching/counselling is a unique experience, it's like speaking to someone who has no skin in the game. It means you can say whatever and you are not going to get judged or told to do something. It might be unlocking within you some blocks to having a fulfilled connection with someone, or it might be being heard just how sad you feel, it could be being able to finally say out loud what's on your mind. Why not give it a go?

I have been a therapist for many years covering the Buckinghamshire and Middlesex areas. It is important when looking for a therapist to find someone sufficiently qualified, that you feel comfortable with. I offer one to one therapy to adults in a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space enabling you to work through the issues that impact on your everyday life. Therapy can be short or long term depending on your needs and what presents in the sessions. I have worked with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, sexuality, anger, bereavement - to name a few. Using complimenting element

Life can be challenging and at times we may not have the capacity to deal with everything going on. I have created the garden room in Launton, the village I live in, where the outdoors comes in to promote healing. Private and overlooking its own garden, it’s a peaceful space within which to work through what is troubling you at this time.

Trauma can become locked inside both our mind and body. Past traumatic events can be triggered by many different situations and people that you may encounter. These experiences, if not processed properly in our brains can make living day to day unpleasant, with negative feelings about ourselves, difficulties with anxiety, unexplained fears, avoidance, dissociation and many more distressing experiences. EMDR works to help the brain naturally process the trauma so that it can be left in the past. Please see my website for more details- www.Lucy ginger.co.uk

Because you're here, I imagine that things are feeling difficult. Something specific may be on your mind or it might be something more general; you may be overwhelmed with anxious thoughts, depression or a sense that something just isn't quite right. Perhaps you're struggling with relationships, or trying to deal with a loss or a trauma in your life. Patterns may keep repeating and you don't know how to change them. At times, we all need extra support; there are lots of reasons why people come in to counselling. I work in an Integrative way, to help you to unpick complex feelings you may have about yourself and the way you live now.
