Divorce Counselling in West Wickham

Sheela Udvarlaky
Counsellor, MBACP
Having sat in the client's chair and experienced the benefits of counselling I understand how being in a space where you are fully accepted and truly heard can be profoundly validating. I am interested in the human condition; what makes us tick. I work relationally, and offer a space for you to bring every part of yourself - the parts you like and the part you may struggle to accept. Whether you are facing life's challenges and finding things difficult or you simply want to understand yourself more fully, therapy can offer you a space to be curious, to pause and reflect whilst being supported throughout.

Childhood trauma, unhealthy patterns, addiction and trauma can all result in unresolved pain. Being able to explore that pain in a non judgemental, confidential, empathic space can be an essential life changing experience. Many clients come to therapy wanting change and emotional health, awareness of where that pain comes from and the journey to understand its impact on our lives today is a crucial part of healing. Often our trauma is not recognised, believed or simply understood. Yet we're living with the impact of these issues. It takes courage to acknowledge our pain but for those who can it can give us the tools to change.

Every client responds to a different balance of therapeutic help. It's your journey, and it's one along which you can discover what if anything is stopping you be the best you can be, or where your talents lie. With or without the aide of hypnosis, your life journey is one of self discovery and a pathway to the realisation that you have all the tools you need, right inside. Its a journey that would sometimes benefit from a pause and a think in a non judgemental, confidential environment and that what I provide to all my clients.

I work collaboratively with clients to overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
