Counselling in Wiltshire

I work gently and compassionately, with individuals/couples, struggling with difficult or painful feelings, managing their emotions, and struggling to enjoy life. Communication is often an issue, as are feelings of unfairness or difficulty forming good, lasting relationships. Issues may involve partners, parents, past traumas, or inner conflict making decisions difficult. They may involve issues at work with colleagues, management or relationships. When working with couples the issues are often about unfulfilled expectations, infidelity, lack of commitment/affection, insecurity, lack of empathy, or experiences of coercion or control

I work predominantly with clients with complex PTSD, PTSd or PTS and/or neuro-diversity/ADHD/Childhood-Adolescent Developmental Trauma/Military Service or life in general. We can feel psychologically and emotionally dysregulated, unable to control our emotional response / triggers, leaving us feeling angry/anxious/depressed/overwhelmed or shutdown. By helping you to regulate your nervous system, chronic stress activation can be reduced, allowing the mind and the body to think and perceive situations and events differently, which helps us to feel safe and secure. Less reactivity, leads to improved mental health.

We all have a unique history that often shapes us as a person and therefore our lives. We all have a story to tell, sharing your story, thoughts and feelings can offer them space to breathe, leading to new insights, perspectives and understanding. Feeling alone with your thoughts can be isolating, and discussing them with people close to you isn't always easy. I'm here to listen without judgement, providing support and understanding. Together, we'll navigate through whatever has brought you to counselling to help you find a way forward that feels right for you.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at points in our lives. Through treatment, I can help you (re)gain motivation, perspective, and joy in your life. I worked in the NHS for many years in both primary and secondary care mental health services with adults over 18yrs. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am also a fully accredited CBT Therapist.

Hello. Well done for wanting to seek out counselling and psychotherapy to help you explore what is holding you back from living a fulfilled life. It takes great courage and self awareness to take this first step. I offer you a safe, confidential place to allow you talk to someone who is trained to listen attentively to your problems. Therapy is not a quick process but with patience, self-belief and compassion, the changes within your life can be considerable. My therapeutic journey began in 2010, and during those years, I have grown as a person, so I can provide the skills needed to be alongside you on your therapeutic journey.

A good Counselling relationship is built on the ability to grow an authentic and confidential space between client and therapist. It is a space where you can bring your difficulties, worries, anxieties, frustrations, feeling sad, family and relationship issues in this space you will experience a non-judgemental and empathic space to reflect on issues that have brought you to counselling. Counselling provides the client with this unique space that is often hard to find in life’s day to day relationships. However, it is not about giving advice or opinions it is about helping the client to find their own solutions.

I am an open minded, warm hearted individual that offers a confidential, friendly, therapeutic space with a warm welcome. I fully understanding how difficult it may be for clients to take their first steps into counselling. I work with the client through their feelings, past traumas or painful experiences. It's important for an indivifual to feel really listened too, accepted and understood.

Some of you will approach counselling as a way of becoming unstuck from a continuous and repetitive loop that is detrimental for your wellbeing. Some may feel it is a last resort having reached a place of apathy towards life. Some again, will want to explore and understand themselves in context of who they are, why they think, feel and act in a certain way, and whom they wish to become. ​This will be a journey where you choose direction and speed.

Are you finding that life is a struggle? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Research has shown that working with a therapist that you trust can help you.

As a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor, if you choose to work with me I will value your uniqueness, listen to you and witness your story without judgement. At times, we may all need to reach out and seek help in our life-journeys. We may need help to find out how we really feel and who we really are or would like to be, and feel more empowered. My charges range from £30 to £70 per session depending on individual financial circumstances.

Our early life experiences may impact on the way we form relationships as adults; struggling to connect with others, and we may even struggle to feel a connection with ourselves. Any kind of trauma at a young age, may be the cause of that disconnect. Sometimes leading to the same issues or patterns of behaviour coming up over and over again. Our work will involve engaging with your experiences in a compassionate and curious way. Giving you the space you need to make sense of and begin to understand your lived experience.

Hi, my name is Aneta. I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means that I draw from various approaches, including Gestalt, Person Centred and Psychodynamic, putting the therapeutic relationship at the centre of my work. I have experience working therapeutically with people from all walks of life, but my two main areas of expertise are supporting people to process their trauma (both recent and historic) and working with clients from ethnically diverse communities. I facilitate culturally sensitive therapy with an understanding of issues related to diversity and identity.

I have more than 25 years' experience of working as a Clinical Psychologist and I have worked in both NHS and private practice settings. My work is with adults with a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss, as well as with individuals who want to make changes to the way they deal with their lives in order to improve their overall sense of well-being.

I am a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.

I am an experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor with over 15 years experience. I offer sessions for individuals and couples on both a long and short term basis depending on what is needed. I have an established private practice in Box, Wiltshire. I am also a member of BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Hello, I am a warm, interactive therapist, keenly interested in finding how I can guide & support you to understand you, your relationships and experiences with increased self-compassion and understanding. The complex human system adapts to the environment from a place of survival and some of those adaptations can result in feelings of being too much or not enough at differing times. My areas of interest are relational & complex trauma, neurodivergence and supporting those from the LGBTQIA+ communities. Whatever your hopes are for therapy, even if you not quite sure what they are, my role is to ensure you feel heard and understood.

I believe therapy can support us through life’s challenges. As a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist in training I bring compassion and professionalism to my work. I have successfully supported clients with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, eating disorders and body image issues, addiction, loss and relationship difficulties. There is a lot of mystery surrounding therapy. I strive to be clear, open and real with my clients so, whilst the work may sometimes be challenging, it is always collaborative and they feel safe and respected as they come to better understand their deepest needs.

I have over 20 years experience. I am aware how important it is to find someone you can share with and work towards a better future. I offer you short/medium or longer term (up to one year) to raise your self awareness and understanding about your situation and work in a non judgemental way towards finding a better way forward or coming to terms with something that may have happened. We all have traumas in our lives and this can leave us feeling really dysregulated, anxious and struggling to cope. I offer you a tailored approach to counselling and draw on my experience and training to offer you a safe setting to explore YOU.

There are no "ideal" clients - there are only people and people have throughts and feelings that can sometimes be too much to handle by themselves. At these times I believe that reaching out and speaking to someone who is trained to listen and not judge, someone who is empathetic and wants to help, can be the catalyst for change in a person's life. You might be a person who has struggled to be understood, who needs to process your thoughts and feelings with a trained and experienced counsellor in order to move past this period of confusion and distress.
