Counselling in Wells

Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm a child & adolescent therapist & counsellor who supports children, teens & their families to manage big feelings, stressful situations and other life challenges. I work with children & young people aged 6-18 (as well as some adults) and support them with a huge range of issues from anxiety and worries about school, fostering and adoption, to trauma, bereavement, sexual abuse and domestic violence, covering pretty much everything you can think of in-between. I'm an accredited therapist who offers play & creative arts therapy, TraumaPlay and talking therapy. I have a therapy dog who loves to be involved.

I offer a safe space where you can experience your true feelings, learn to look after them and get to know yourself better. I believe that this is the most important gift we can give ourselves. Perhaps you’re struggling with mental health challenges such as anxiety or depression or simply feel lost or overwhelmed. These experiences are part of being human but giving ourselves the opportunity to sit with them, allow them and truly feel the emotions they bring with compassion is immensely healing. As is learning how to let them go.

Hi, welcome, you may be here because you're struggling at the moment, and maybe you experienced some hardships in the past, but would like to change how things are for you, and build a better life now. Counselling may last 4 - 6 sessions or longer and is helpful for anyone who is suffering with anything from moderate anxiety to severe distress. Whether what you're going through at the moment is a new situation, or you've felt this way for a long time, talking can help you to resolve how you would like to make positive changes so that you can cope better and feel happier overall. Everyone needs extra support sometimes, including you.

Hello, I am Simon, I aim to provide my client’s with a safe, caring and professional atmosphere in which to explore their diverse problems at their own pace and depth. I am a well travelled, life experienced integrative counsellor which means I believe in tapping into various models and approaches to assist my clients with the unique and personal problems they are experiencing founded upon my deep experience of what life expects of us as we journey through it. I am experienced in dealing with depression, anxiety and stress and can assist you to explore deeper experiences that may be contributing to your struggles. I am here to hear.

We all desire meaningfulness in our lives and we usually seek out the healing of therapy at times when life may feel challenging, difficult, directionless or overwhelming in some way. Life contains setbacks and suffering which can feel painful and we may develop strategies to avoid and bypass such feelings. The process of therapy is to gently explore in the present the way we feel about ourselves and our lives and to bring embodied awareness to what obscures the inherent wholeness at our core.

I work with a wide range of anxiety and mood difficulties helping to bring about understanding and positive change. This includes depression, low esteem, panic, phobias (spiders, animals, storms, heights, emetophobia etc), social anxiety, OCD, BDD, eating disorders, health anxiety, GAD (worry), PTSD/trauma, driving anxiety, insomnia and anger/temper. I offer appointments 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

Men are pretty bad when it comes to seeking help for health (physical or mental), preferring to sort the problems out themselves. I work within a specific 'man-friendly' approach to counselling, meaning we focus on how and where you want to be in the future and go from there, only looking back when the past blocks to you from moving on. I help you to find the best solution that fits your life circumstances, works for you and, enables you to develop the skills to cope with what life throws at you in the future. If you want a counsellor who believes in the power of conversation, humour and looking forward, let's chat.

Are you exhausted by the effort it takes to manage your feelings? Do you want to feel safe? Do you wonder who you are or why you feel bad? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, panic disorders or relationship problems, there is good news. Research has shown that a good relationship with a counsellor/therapist can really help. My approach is to help you understand both 'your hidden self' (the unconscious) and find everyday tools and tasks that can help you change your life. I hope I can show you that all the wisdom and creativity you need to enjoy your life is within reach.

A warm welcome to my profile. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space for my clients to be able to share their troubles, explore difficult and painful experiences and work towards a deeper understanding of themselves. My work is client led and I will support you in whatever you bring to our sessions. Aswell as working as an Integrative counsellor I am a Recovery worker for a local organisation supporting people with addiction issues and have done so for 8 years, during these roles I have supported clients with anxiety/depression, self-harm, domestic abuse, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, shame and bereavement.

I am a Relate trained relationship counsellor experienced at working with couples and individuals at every stage in a relationship. Alongside my private practice I currently work as a relationship counsellor and psychosexual therapist Relate Avon, which is part of the UK’s largest provider of relationship counselling and sex therapy. I offer friendly effective counselling for couples and individuals currently via Zoom or over the phone. My aim in counselling is to provide you with a safe, caring, confidential and supportive space to allow couples and individuals to explore and understand themselves and their relationship.

Would you like to feel less fearful, not be held back by your thoughts, to feel more at ease in yourself and with others, and experience more confidence? Maybe you'd like to better understand how past experiences may be impacting you in the present, and how to change familiar and unhelpful patterns to improve your relationships? With skilled and focused support all of this is possible! You are unique so I aim to work with your experiences in a way that is suited to you. I work with a range of issues and have a particular passion for working with anger, depressive feelings, and communication issues that impede relationships.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, insecure, or overwhelmed by your emotions? Or are you looking for someone who will listen and be non judgemental and to whom you can talk in confidence about issues that are bothering you that would be difficult to share with friends or family members? Your feelings may be related to a bereavement or loss, the effects of abuse, relationship issues, or a major life change or may be related to something unresolved from the past. You may also be seeking support in setting goals and moving on in a positive way. These (and others) are areas in which I am well experienced.

Do you need a safe and supportive space to make sense of your sexuality, gender or relationships? Are you finding there are overpowering voices from friends, family or social media that are directing you how to think? Would you like to experience some space to understand your own thoughts and feelings without fear of what others might say or do in response? Have you been struggling in your relationships to be heard and seen? Would you like to be valued and affirmed for the choices you make in your life? Would you like to have counselling online, conveniently and confidentially on your phone or laptop? I'm here to support you.

My name Emmelaine and I am an approachable and friendly therapist. Whatever it is you are going through, you do not have to face it alone. I offer a supportive and safe space to talk. My aim is to support you in a way that honours who you are and what you need. I choose to work flexibly and without judgment, so that you can feel free to express yourself in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Having a fulfilling and lasting relationship is something we all aspire to, but it isn't always easy. Relationships can go wrong for all sorts of reasons and it's difficult to know where to go for help. In my work as a sex and relationship therapist, I work with both couples and individuals to not only get your relationship back on track and improve communication, but also to help it develop so that it achieves its full potential. Often, problems in a relationship can be an opportunity to develop it so get in touch with me if you need some help either to heal a crisis or to make your relationship the best it can be.
