Counselling in Warrington

You are important. Are you feeling the pressures of life? Perhaps you need support and understanding with the anxieties life often brings. It can be incredibly tough; feeling as though you're on your own, or that those around you don't understand. Maybe you don't want to share your thoughts and feelings with those closest to you... During our session, you will find a relaxed, safe and confidential environment. We can explore together; where you are, discover the changes you would like to make and look at how you can put the foundations into place, to make those changes real. You may have already gone through some significant changes and could be feeling overwhelmed. I can help and encourage you to discover a better sense of well-being. You will be heard, without being judged.

Do you feel you are being bullied and don’t know where to turn? Are you feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, guilty or embarrassed? I can help you. I offer you a safe, warm, non-judgemental space where you can be heard. By sharing your story, together, we can explore and understand your feelings, and learn to overcome the barriers which are limiting your happiness. My name is Elaine and I am an Integrative Counsellor.

If you are stressed, anxious, depressed or maybe you have a sense of wanting something better, I can help. In counselling, I will work closely with you to explore any issues you bring and help you to identify any barriers to your happiness. I will help you to recognise your own strengths and resources and find new coping strategies to make choices to create the life you desire.

I have over 18 years experience of working in the area of Adult Mental Health, working with males and females across the entire life span cycle (teenagers to older adults) treating a variety of mental health difficulties, ranging from common mental health problems (depression, anxiety disorders) to severe and enduring mental health difficulties (psychosis, personality disorders). I currently work as a Chartered Consultant Clinical Psychologist and run a private therapy practice out of my office in Warrington (Cheshire) where I provide a range of services to the public. Please have a look at my clinic pictures.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I have worked in mental health services for over 18 years. I enjoy working with clients to help them understand the development and maintenance of their current difficulties, so that it is possible to make meaningful changes using evidence based CBT strategies or EMDR. I incorporate mindfulness and compassionate approaches into my clinical work. I aim to provide a compassionate, non judgmental, therapeutic environment to clients and understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support. I will do my best to help you feel comfortable and at ease whilst helping you to achieve your goals.

Taking the first step to meet a therapist may feel daunting, yet it can be so rewarding by helping you learn about yourself and what has brought you here. Therapy is a vital component in an individual’s growth and self-awareness. Many people seek therapy for several reasons, whether its anxiety, bereavement, trauma, stress and many other reasons that can be explored and worked through, with someone beside you, supporting you. It is your space and time, that can be used exploring whatever you wish to bring. My hope is to be someone you can reveal your true self to, without feeling judged, but to feel heard, understood and accepted.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This is a quote by Anaïs Nin, one in which I firmly believe. It is always helpful to talk to someone, especially when that someone is trained to listen and help in a specialised and interactive way. A counsellor is not there to judge you, nor are they there to tell you what to do. Instead, counselling provides a safe and respectful environment to express and explore your feelings and troubles. Together, we can create a path of acceptance and work together to heal and change.

If you are anxious in any form - stress, PTSD, OCD, worrying, phobias and fears, agoraphobia, panic I can help. If your mood is low, or feeling tired and demotivated, unable to enjoy anything I can help. If your relationship is in trouble, or ending or single and unsure about what you want or maybe lacking confidence in yourself I can help. I'm very experienced and effective. It takes only a few sessions in many cases to start feeling much better regain your confidence and energy and feel hopeful about your future again.

Is it time to invest in yourself?. Whether you are here due to mental health concerns such as depression or anxiety; personal development goals, such as increasing self-esteem or developing assertiveness; or you are experiencing relationship problems or grief and loss, the good news is counselling will help!

I aim to support any adult, child, young person, family or organisation to maximise their potential and effectively manage the difficulties that life often brings. I believe that by building an understanding of your social, emotional, psychological and physical needs, you can be supported to feel safe, ready to cope and able to achieve the goals that matter to you. My aim will be to help you to explore your needs, to better understand the difficulties you face and to provide tailored psychological support, based on a wide range of evidence based interventions to help develop solutions that work for you.

There is a broad spectrum of reasons why people seek and can benefit from counselling. The reasons may seem clear, or may feel somewhat out of reach, yet there is a sense that talking to someone may help? Counselling can help us to better understand the source of our distress, find resolutions and move forward in ways that serve us better as individuals. I consider it a privilege to work with people in this endeavour and recognise that it is important that you find the right person to talk to.

Sometimes it all just feels too much. Maybe you are overwhelmed with anxiety and exhausted with trying to be someone you are not. You might be a parent, struggling to help your child through mental health issues and seek a different way of being, in order to feel more calm and focused. You might be looking to learn more about what being autistic means for you, or be wanting to heal from a painful past that did not celebrate who you are. If so, counselling may be a path to help empower you, to make the changes you need and rediscover your sense of self.

You may feel you manage well in most areas of your life but you experience stress in one particular life domain - maybe work, something from your past or your sense of achievement. I have 11 years post qualifying experience supporting clients with issues including trauma, mental health difficulties and challenging life circumstances in the social care, mental health fields and private practice, with adults, children/young people and groups. I work in collaboration with you to address issues which might be causing disruption to your sense of identity, control and achievement, your self-esteem, quality of life or relationships.

I am here to help you, and you will be in control. I am a CBT and EMDR Therapist with years of experience working within mental health and suicide prevention. If OCD, postnatal mental health, or low self-esteem are affecting your life and you need support then I can help with this and more. Think about what you are finding tough right now, because we will make this our priority. We can explore any thoughts and emotions contributing to your difficulties and focus on reaching the goals you have. We will work with openness and honesty, gaining insight and making lasting positive changes to your emotional wellbeing together.

Feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed by life’s events can happen to any of us and usually occurs at the most inappropriate time. Do you feel unable to make sense of how you feel? Do you have difficulties in relationships? Have you noticed the same patterns of behaviour happening repetitively in your life? Do you have low self-confidence/self-esteem? Do you suffer with anxiety and/or depression? If you have answered yes to any of the above, then I may be able to help you.

My specialities are; Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma (PTSD/adjustment disorder), depression triggered by bereavement, life changes, relationship changes or ongoing/repeated relationship problems/patterns, mixed anxiety and depression, and low self-esteem. I'm knowledgeable in a wide range of psychological/mental and physical health problems.

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor based in Warrington who specialises in working with individuals who are perhaps struggling with confidence, anxiety, lost identity and the emotional and physical aspects of menopause. I use a blended approach where I will give you the space to talk and share your experience, alongside working together to equip you with the tools and strategies to help you manage day-to-day. Using Psychodynamic therapy, coupled with Compassion Focused Therapy, we will work to understand how the past may be influencing your present situation and take on those negative thoughts that intrude on our daily life.
