Counselling in Witney

I have worked with a range of clients from different backgrounds and with various issues including depression, anxiety, low mood relationship issues, bereavement, low self-esteem, abuse (sexual & domestic violence), work difficulties and dealing with terminal illness. My background is in Psychology in which I have an MSc. I lectured and taught psychology for many years and during my time in education, I was a pastoral tutor to students aged 14-18. In this role I supported students experiencing many types of challenges/issues including anxiety, self-harm, sexual issues, domestic problems, cyber bully and relationship problems.

It may be that you have a current issue that you are looking to gain clarity of, or you may be aware of wanting to let go of a difficult past experience and the effects that it still has on you in the present. I believe that our pasts affect our current ways of being, and whilst we can instinctively want to distance ourselves from difficult memories, I have witnessed how healing it can be to work through them in the safety of the therapy space. However you choose to focus your sessions, I will work alongside you offering insight, gentle reflections and support.

You might be seeking therapy for a number of different reasons. Perhaps you’re finding the world a very uncertain place right now and are feeling overwhelmed. You might want to talk to someone who won’t judge you. Or you might find yourself in a crisis which is difficult to move on from. Perhaps you are looking for a space to have time to reflect on where you have got to in life and provide fresh impetus for personal growth. If you find yourself distressed, confused, seeking a change in direction or simply wanting someone to talk to, I can help. My own experience of therapy has shown me that struggles can be a catalyst for change.

I am a counsellor based in Witney, Oxfordshire. I am committed to helping clients find their own way of dealing with life’s challenges. Experienced in working with both young people and adults to improve and maintain their mental health, we will work together on the problems that you face to find your own path to positive change and to continue with this after the counselling has ended.

Sometimes it can feel as if nobody understands us or the challenges we face. Perhaps you are at a crossroads or experiencing prolonged anxiety, unhappiness or sadness? I wonder if a particular change, loss or relationship has left you feeling disconnected from others? I endeavour to provide a supportive relationship to enable you to explore aspects of your life causing worry, sadness or stress. It's not uncommon for past or present experiences to impact our lives, leaving us feeling stuck. I will listen carefully, without judgement, and help you navigate a way forward.

The Practice is run by Kim S Lee Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist. Kim has worked with Children and Young people since 1978 and has been in clinical practice for nearly 40 years. He has worked as a consultant and trainer for many child care organizations, and also acts as an expert witness in family law matters. The service is for children and young people suffering with a wide range of psychological and mental health difficulties. Listen to the new podcasts @ https://www.buzzsprout.com/952159

Everyone is different and counselling is not a 'one size fits all' approach which is why I trained to be an integrative counsellor. Sometimes in life we feel out of control, lonely, stuck, struggle to cope, repeat destructive patterns or wonder why we're in the same situation again. You don't have to be 'mentally ill' to need or benefit from counselling. It can help with developing self-awareness, improving relationships and making better informed decisions

Life is challenging. Many times in our lives we will be able to take on these challenges and find our own way through, but sometimes we can feel stuck or overwhelmed and they can feel like mountains. Perhaps you’re struggling with persistent anxious thoughts, feelings of hopelessness, relationship issues, navigating loss or trauma, experiencing addiction, or fertility or family difficulties…..please know you’re not alone. Together, and at your pace, we can explore the challenges you are facing now, gently turn over the stones of experience, with patience and compassion, to bring about new awareness and balance in your life.

I offer a safe confidential space for you to explore your problems and find the resources in yourself to move forward. Sessions are by video call using phone, tablet or computer. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress and trauma and offer short and long term therapy. I have provided counselling for Mind, Berkshire NHS Talking Therapies, Oxford Men’s Counselling Service and Victims First Specialist Counselling Service. I am committed to working ethically in the interests of my clients. Please feel free to contact me by phone, text or email.

Pressures throughout our adult lives mount up as we go along. Somehow we manage them and get over them. But every now and then something triggers us into a place whereby we feel disabled in managing them and ourselves. These can can be big or seemingly insignificant triggers causing us to seek help. I have experienced such feelings and sought professional help in the past. It has been 20 years since I qualified as a Person Centred counsellor and trained as a nurse. Since having time out from bereavement support at a hospice, and world events having impacted on all our lives, I am again able to offer myself to support others.

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t know where to turn? Maybe you're struggling with everyday anxieties, having problems with relationships or at work, or you want to feel less stressed. Perhaps you just need to be heard. What we cover in our sessions will be up to you – you are free to explore whatever is on your mind, and our sessions will go at your pace. I offer adults both short and long term weekly counselling sessions. Face to face sessions take place in Kingston Bagpuize, within easy reach of Oxford, Abingdon and Witney. I also offer online counselling, using Zoom, as well as telephone sessions.

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile page. I am a Psychotherapist and Registered Nutritional Therapist with 20 years experience. I am very passionate about helping people and feel very fortunate and privileged to do this kind of work. I offer a very friendly service, as I appreciate it can be a huge step to contact a therapist for the first time. Although I have over the years worked with all kinds of issues, I feel drawn to work in the areas of relationships, stress and depression.I also worked in the corporate world for many years and so have lots of experience of dealing with stress and the pressures of life in this arena.

Hello, I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor and I am genuine, friendly and experienced in improving mental well being. I offer warmth, support, and a confidential space without judgment to listen to whatever is troubling you, whether it’s from the past, present or future. Life can present us with many challenges, and sometimes we need extra support to find our way through. Counselling can be transformative, helping to resolve issues, improve relationships, and develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. I help you to explore your world and work through the emotions, difficulties, or changes you are facing.

As a trans and bisexual woman, I passionately recognise the importance of being true to myself, and this philosophy underpins my counselling practice. My primary aim is to offer you a therapeutic space where you, too, can better understand who you are and embody that truth unreservedly. Many of us allow our worth and person to be defined by others, stopping us from realising and loving our most authentic selves. We fear being judged and rejected by those around us. As a result, we experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-hatred and other painful emotional problems that severely undermine our quality of life.

I utilise a blend of positive psychotherapeutic enquiry and solution focussed approaches, to identify and reframe the cause of limiting beliefs and behaviours. I tailor my approach and work with individuals and couples. Whether you need to overcome a traumatic experience, difficulties in relationships, self esteem, anxiety or coaching to provide skills to transition through life, manage a situation or perform at your best. Building an independent, safe and trusting environment for you to explore issues and challenges in life: both work and/or personal is important for me.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Psychosynthesis and secondary trainings in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Certified Practitioner) and EMDR (Levels 1-3). Drawing on the body, long history with Buddhist psychology and meditation, and over 12 years experience working with complex trauma in therapeutic communities in the NHS and the prison system, I work with clients to reframe mental health difficulties as psychospiritual opportunities to deepen our relationships and maximise our potential.

You may be feeling life is difficult and challenging at the moment, struggling with anxiety or depression, or loneliness. You may have a general feeling of dissatisfaction making life difficult to manage. You may be struggling with a bereavement. You may find that you are feeling angry for much of the time. You may be looking for a way to alleviate your suffering and solve your problems in order to live a more satisfying life where you are more at ease with yourself and with other people. You might find it helpful to explore these thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment. I hope to provide such a place.
