Feel Real Counselling/Psychotherapy

Hello, my name is Noreen. When you are feeling low, sad or lost this just might be the time to seek some professional help where you will be heard, truly listened to and respected. Especially when constantly trying to meet the expectations, needs and wants of others you may have lost sight or yourself and what it means to be you and to feel "real" and you may be struggling with your emotional wellness. Increasingly people are choosing to seek counselling to improve their quality of life and as 1 in 4 of us will experience some sort of mental health difficulty, valuing your emotional health is as important as your physical health.

If you’re struggling or finding things difficult, you’re not alone. Maybe you feel stuck, confused or overwhelmed. Maybe you feel lost, alone or disconnected from life, yourself or the people around you. Maybe you lack purpose or meaning in your life. Maybe you don't really know what the problem is but would like some support. I am here to listen, support and encourage you as you explore the issues you face, help you understand yourself better and see things more clearly. I can help you work through difficult thoughts and feelings, and find ways to manage them so they have less impact on your life and wellbeing.

I'm an experienced, integrative counsellor offering care, reflection and support in a wide range of issues and concerns.

Talya Griffith
Psychotherapist, MNCS Accred
Verified
My name is Talya. At the heart of how I work is the belief that everyone's choices and experiences are understandable if we give the time and attention to understanding them. When we are supported it becomes more possible to gain insight into the ways we feel limited, to acknowledge and release the feelings that can keep us stuck and to find new ways of being. Therapy can provide a chance to heal from the hurts that accumulate within us and help us find the resources to meet life fully. Through our time together, you may find that new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you become possible.

If you struggle with being in the world, with accepting yourself, or with a particular historical issue, I am here to support you journey towards recovery. I am especially interested in gender work - I particularly welcome men who wish to explore masculinity, and women who want to explore their relationship with men. Healthier relationship with ourselves, and others, is an achievable goal, and relies on empathy, compassion and challenge - I notice, and encourage attention on what is revealed in the moment. I understand struggle - I experienced, and have healed from mental health issues in my past, following an unsettled childhood.

Do you feel disempowered and unable to move forward? Sometimes, life's difficulties can prevent us from forming healthy relationships with ourselves and others, and prevent us thriving.

Kate Hatchett Counsellor & Psychotherapist, MBACP
Psychotherapist, MBABCP
Verified
I work with adults and young people and offer both short and long term therapy. Sometimes life’s challenges may feel overwhelming, emotionally exhausting or relentless and we may seek professional support to help us find our way through. Anxiety, depression, feeling lost, lonely, confused or traumatised are just some of the many issues people bring. Whilst our personal stories and the reasons for our distress are ultimately as unique as we are, I have found that clients of all ages share a common goal; the desire to gain new perspectives and deeper understandings of themselves and to explore the possibilities and means of change.

Tensions, patterns and blocks.. how do we effectively change ? Talking is a start,but we need to balance it with action. I provide tools, years of experience and caring support to guide this. Talking and witnessing help to identify and become conscious of what drives our worries, reactions and hurts. Then we begin the process of healing, moving forward. I identify what's appropriate for you, sometimes it's a practical new plan, creating new approaches to communication, setting boundaries or challenging outdated belief systems, sometimes it's a process for healing old emotions, or showing self-healing tools to practice.

With the support of counselling, you can return to feeling and experiencing a sense of peace and well-being in your life, and be resourced to meet any challenges in the future.

Anxiety is normal. Yes, I just said that! Yet many of us grow up with the idea that anxious feelings are negative and to be avoided at all costs. I spent years trying to escape my anxiety, which only made it worse. The more I pushed, the more it pushed back, until I spent all my time pushing. It was exhausting, resulting in OCD behaviours and panic attacks. Then I learnt to change my relationship with anxiety. I realised that to be anxious is to be human. I stopped struggling and instead began to work with my anxiety in new ways that gave me more options, both in the moment and in the long term.

If you have experienced something very upsetting or traumatic, your mind/body might still be reeling in the aftermath. Your wonderfully clever autonomic nervous system works hard to keep you safe: to fight, or to flee, or to numb everything out, before your conscious brain has even noticed what’s happening. These unconscious responses may not always serve you, however. When traumatic charge is held in our bodies long after the threat has passed, we can experience all sorts of debilitating symptoms, from anxiety, to depression, insomnia, self-hatred, comfort eating, self-harming, or relating to others in ways that we later regret.

Hello and welcome, I am here to offer you a safe space allowing you the time to pause and explore what is troubling you. Together we can try and make sense of it. My approach combines talking therapies with creative interventions adapted to your needs. Your might have a clear idea what you want to work through in counselling or it might be a jumble of feelings and thoughts. We all get lost in the chaos of our thoughts and feelings. Counselling helps us tune into and listening to our inner wisdom to help us move forwards with clarity to a more settled and empowered place. Whatever challenges you are facing, my hope is that I can help

I have been working with children, young people and their families all my professional life, and have 30 years experience. I work collaboratively with my clients to build a safe and trusting relationship, with which we can explore the range of difficulties we experience in life. Distress can take many forms and children and young people often express this in their behaviour. Many of us can experience different types of trauma, from the road traffic accidents, bullying at school, divorce and separation, non typical development to more complex traumas such as abuse, bereavement and going into care.
