Counselling in Warwick

Heard bad things about CBT? It's mechanistic? It's 'one-size fits all'? Not necessarily! My goal, in using CBT, is firstly to listen and then to use CBT, underpinned by my belief in person-centred therapy. I will aim to make practical suggestions to change and these will often include experiments to try between sessions. These may well be informed by other approaches to counselling. My strapline is 'If change is going to happen, something has to change!' I will work hard to help you on your transformational journey. I work with individual adults, teenagers and couples.

Welcome, I'm Zoe. Understanding you and your experiences is an important part of my therapeutic approach. I'm here to listen and offer a warm, empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental, safe space for you. Perhaps there is something specific you would like to explore in therapy, or you could be trying to make sense of what is causing you to feel the way you do. Maybe you are feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, and your mind is occupied with worries and unhelpful thoughts. Collaboratively, we can discover the patterns that maybe maintaining your difficulties, and support you to move towards living the life you would like to.

I am Di Pulley and have been a (BACP) Accredited therapist since 2004, having graduated from Warwick University. I am also a Master Life Coach and a member of the Association for Coaching, and a BUPA affiliated practitioner, registered number 30037598.

Here you are—your first bold step! Have you had life events that you are finding difficult to handle and that have caused you to lose your identity? I think we should all enjoy our lives to the fullest because we are innocent beings from birth. We can work through your experiences to help you let go and grow if you want to make changes in your life. Addiction, The 12 steps, abuse, trauma, codependency, COPD, bronchiectasis, depression, and self-harm are all part of my life experience and they have all greatly contributed to my knowledge and understanding. I have also worked in a supported accommodation charity with vulnerable adults

As an Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I have undergone extensive training which brings together effective contemporary approaches to therapy, drawing from a variety of models to suit your individual needs. I have over sixteen years experience supporting adults and young people to address a range of issues, including: anxiety/panic, depression, stress, loss and bereavement, identity issues, sexuality, trauma/abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions and careers and life direction. I also offer the comprehensive 'INSIGHT self-discovery programmes' (visit darylnicholas.com for more details).

It can be hard to make contact with someone new and find courage to seek therapy. I always arrange an initial session where we can explore what you need, your expectations and if you have any particular concerns about counselling .This can help you work out if I am right for you and indeed for me to see if I feel I can help. I offer regular 50 minute counselling sessions to give you space to understand why you might feel the way you do and how you may begin to feel better. I can help you develop awareness of patterns from the past that may be effecting your life today so you can find ways to feel more in control of your present life

Hello and welcome. Sometimes life just doesn't go the way we would like it to go, with the everyday struggles that can sometimes just feel too much. At times the challenges of life can make us feel out of control, leaving us feeling lost, anxious, scared, depressed or even angry. At Footsteps counselling, I offer a safe and confidential space that will allow you to work through your struggles and explore your thoughts and feelings in a calm, confidential and supportive setting. I can help you to gain insight and understanding on what it is that may be making you feel the way you do, and help you through those difficult times.

Hello, my name is Brontë. I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor who has a degree from Coventry University in Integrative Counselling, and a fully registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy who works with Adults aged 18+. Being an Integrative Counsellor simply means that I draw on different theories and interventions that best suit the clients needs.

I provide therapeutic space for you to reflect, think about and explore difficulties without judgement. Sometimes we can have an idea about what we are struggling with, sometimes we are less sure. Accessing therapy can help us to understand ourselves and give meaning to that which leaves us feeling stuck. Sometimes things that are happening in the here and now can bring up feelings that we have experienced in the past that we may or may not be aware of. This may create discomfort, pain, distress, anxiety, depression and overwhelm. People often describe feeling empty, in darkness, alone, lacking energy and feeling frightened.

I am a chartered psychologist with over 15 years’ experience of working with people with a history of mental illness, emotional disturbance, personality disorder, cognitive impairment, offending behaviour, and other psychological difficulties. I have trained and supervised a range of healthcare professionals across the UK. Working with both male, female and non-binary clients, my aim is to personalise therapy to individual client needs, having a proven track record in positive outcomes for people experiencing trauma symptoms. I understand how important it is for clients to feel safe, to connect with their values, and others.

Even the strongest of us need help and support, and therapy is not meant to “fix” someone but to help them discover their full potential, this is my philosophy. Therapy is like a journey that the therapist and the client undertake together to explore the best options, with the client being the expert in their lives. Nobody knows better our life and what does it mean to be us than ourselves. Therapy is there to act as a guide for these explorations. And it is a privilege for the therapist to be part of this very personal journey and to share her knowledge and expertise, enabling in this way the change for a better life.

Hi, my name is Rimpy Sandhu. I have been working as a volunteer as well as in my private practice as a counsellor and psychotherapist for 10 years . I know it can be very scary and difficult to talk about your issues, revisit those painful memories. Sometimes it’s hard to recognise and express your own feelings. I offer a professional, supportive, confidential, nonjudgmental and ethical therapy in order to help with your presenting issues. Counselling helps you to understand yourself and to find coping strategies to deal with the day to day difficulties you might be facing.

Sarah Steventon is a Psychotherapist and the founder of Warwickshire Specialist Anxiety Centre. Sarah is a specialist in psychopathology, and is one of the UK's leading experts in anxiety disorders. This style of working isn’t about giving advice or talking things through – this is about creating fast and effective change, utilising the brain's ability to rewire itself, known at neuroplasticity, to achieve the desired change.

I offer online & outdoor counselling to help people who are struggling at work and in their relationships find different ways of dealing with their internal and external challenges. It can be difficult to authentically navigate life sometimes. It can be even more difficult after experiencing trauma, or having lived our lives through someone else’s lens. We may experience internal conflicts, which may cause us to feel overwhelmed by certain situations or emotions. You may want to visit my website to get a better sense of who I am, and if I may be the person to support you through your journey.

Each morning feels like a battle to go to work, to put on a happy face, when you want to stay at home in bed, or on the sofa because everything feels too much. Socialising is feeling draining and overwhelming rather than fun and something to look forward to. The laundry is piling up and you can’t find the energy to do it. You want to look after yourself more but caring about things like what to have for dinner feels overwhelming. Take a second to imagine mornings without battling with yourself to face the day, without faking smiles with everyone you know.

I am passionate about offering therapeutic support to anyone who finds themselves feeling stuck, confused, conflicted, whereby extra support feels helpful. We all deserve the opportunity for additional support - even more so in the tricky times we find ourselves in. I will provide you with a non-judgemental, trusting and compassionate space to explore difficulties and the options that might be available to you, alongside helping you gain a better understanding of yourself.

Are you frequently feeling low, fed up, empty, tearful and/or numb? Are you experiencing feelings of guilt, shame, inadequacy and/or worthlessness? Are you struggling to concentrate or make decisions? Have you lost interest in activities you once enjoyed? Are you feeling that aspects of your life are hopeless and will never improve? Are you frequently feeling tense, on edge and/or irritable? Are you regularly feeling overwhelmed, worried, or anxious? Are your thoughts constantly racing and you feel unable to switch them off?

Are you feeling "how do I deal with this" or "how can I change things" and you just don't know where to start.........then I can help. Counselling can make a huge difference to how you live your life. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons and you're certainly not alone if you are finding making the first move quite daunting. I provide a quiet, safe space where you can freely discuss your fears, worries, hopes and dreams without judgement. This will allow you to gain a greater understanding of where you are now, where you want to be and how to get there.
