Female Counselling in Westgate-on-Sea, ENG

You may be struggling to cope with every day life, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety & dread social situations that take up your energy, resulting in you feeling there is no hope. Relationships may feel unhealthy, difficult & problematic, or like you just don’t fit in, and this can be within our families, our friendships, in the school environment, in the work place & beyond. Changes & transitions may feel too much & stop you from living the life that you want where you may feel stuck & dissatisfied, & trauma may prevent you from feeling at peace.

If you have come to a point in your life where things have become too much and you feel you or a member of your family need some extra support, then counselling is a great way to reach out. Through building an honest and trustworthy relationship, I aim to help my clients understand and overcome their difficulties whilst developing tools to help them in the future. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw from a number of different approaches to counselling. This allows for an open space where we can explore different ideas and find what works best for you. This may include creative work, looking at theory, or mindfulness.

Hello and welcome. My approach is relational and I offer therapy which is collaborative, respectful and tailored to you. My core intention is to bring presence and commitment to your process. At times, the demand of our busy lives can create fog and overwhelm. We often feel lost and disconnected from ourselves and those around us. I offer a space to rest, to sit back and gently tend to and untangle what is in front of us.

Hello, my name is Ashleigh and I'm an integrative counsellor. My passion is empowering people to find peace with their past and navigate life's challenges in the present. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to foster real change and give you back ownership of your life. Counselling can help you work through anything that may be troubling you, voice your worries and provide a safe space to explore difficult issues. It can feel daunting taking the first step on your counselling journey but I am here to guide you through the process and work at a pace you feel comfortable with.

Anxiety, stress, past or current trauma, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem can hugely impact our well-being, our sense of safety and our confidence. It can be confusing trying to figure ourselves out, and as for figuring out others? Also challenging. Counselling and Psychotherapy provides a place of safety to explore our inner world, our external circumstances and the relationships we sometimes find so hard to navigate. We will work to develop new insights and tools that foster personal growth and fulfilment in a new and profound way.

With 20 years experience as a Counsellor & 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist within various NHS, Education and Community-based services, I've since specialised in EMDR therapy and am now an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK & Ireland. Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can effectively treat a broad range of issues, often in a relatively short-term time-frame. EMDR helps process intense emotions, self-limiting beliefs & behavioural patterns in the present which seem stuck on repeat, as they often track back to distressing or overwhelming relational-issues or life events in the past.
