Counselling in Thame

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.

I can support you with issues which are having a negative impact on your mental health, including, helping you to overcome trauma, manage anxiety and stress or relationship difficulties, change unhelpful or unwanted habits and gain increased confidence and self-esteem. I am motivated by a deep desire to empower you to overcome challenges, find purpose, make positive changes and achieve greater well-being.

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

Therapy can help when life is tough. In these strange and difficult times you may be feeling anxious, troubled, sad, depressed, overwhelmed, stuck or unfulfilled. I offer a supportive, confidential and open-minded space to explore life's difficulties, confusions and uncertainties. A space to be heard, to speak, feel and think freely, perhaps for the first time. Existential therapy can help you face your struggles and understand the choices open to you. Working together our purpose is to realise new understandings and ways of being so you can live a richer more fulfilling life. No subject is off limits.

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.

Understanding your child's feelings and how to respond to them can be challenging, especially if you were not parented that way. Your child might be experiencing bullying, a lack of confidence, exam stress or social anxiety. As an empathetic, experienced child emotion specialist and author, I provide online emotion coaching and teach effective coping strategies. I help build your child's resilience, learn important social skills, and boost their self-esteem. Through my sessions, your child will gain valuable emotional intelligence knowledge and emotion management techniques that have a positive, lasting impact on their future.

Hello, I'm Dee Maddox-Hinton, an accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I support individuals, couples, groups and families with their mental and emotional health. With over 15 years experience in assisting a wide range of clients with issues varying from addictions, abuse, anxiety, stress, relationship issues and much more, I can offer CBT alongside a person centred approach. Together we will explore your feelings and identify ways to let go of those that are holding you back, change the way you feel and take back control of your life to realise your full potential as an individual and within relationships.

Do you want to feel happier? Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, feeling sad or low self esteem? Maybe you feel stuck and have lost yourself? Sometimes there is a specific reason and we know what is making us feel that way, other times it appears there is no reason at all. Counselling can help unpick whats going on, identify those thoughts and for it to feel less overwhelming in a safe and non judgmental way.

CBT, EMDR, DBT, Schema Therapy Are you struggling with your mental health? Are you feeling low in mood or anxious perhaps? You might be struggling with panic attacks or obsessional thoughts. Did you have a difficult childhood and you recognise that may have an impact on you now? Are you worrying and this is impacting your life? Are you very anxious about your health? Have you experienced traumas? These are a few of the concerns that people come to have help with. We will work together to help you achieve your goals in a kind caring and efficient manner. I have 38 years of experience, helping people with their mental health.

Therapy can be different things to different people; it can be about focusing on changing a specific behaviour, learning to manage emotions or wanting a space to explore experiences, get understanding and make meaning. It can be all of these things or something completely different. My strength is in the less directive, exploration work; helping clients to understand their world and why they feel, think, behave the ways that they do. With this insight, I can help you to find ways to change old patterns and move forwards in a direction towards the life you want to live.
