Psychoanalytic Counselling in Wolverhampton

We all need someone to talk to, and to be heard. I provide counselling to individuals in a safe, relaxed environment where we explore any issues you bring to the session together. My counselling experience is very diverse and I have supported a range of clients in various settings. I follow a person centred approach being very client focused, with the ability to adapt to other counselling models, which will be unique to each person.

I’m a Registered Clinical Psychologist specialising in persistent mood difficulties and traumatic events (PTSD). With regards to trauma, I have expertise in treating single event and chronic trauma and the impacts of these experiences such as flashbacks, extreme emotional distress, reliving and unpleasant physical sensations. I also have significant experience in treating issues such as anxiety and low mood, feeling stuck and alone, and emptiness. I offer a compassionate and sensitive approach that takes account of your unique life story and provides the basis for meaningful change and resolution of your difficulties.

My Name is Letoya Bailey and I consider myself an incredibly grateful person.

Accessing therapy can be daunting and the hardest steps are often at the beginning of the journey towards change and understanding. At times we do not understand why we are feeling the way we are, sometimes we feel misunderstood and often we hide the pain we are feeling or have been carrying with us for so long. It may seem there is no hope and change is not possible. However we sometimes just need that sincere and committed person who will not judge us, who will listen to us and importantly challenge us in a way that is caring and respectful joining us on this journey of growth and change.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental, empathic space to discuss difficulties which may arise due to romantic relationships, family relationships, financial concerns, previous traumatic events and lifespan direction. I aim to support clients to explore what they are finding difficult to gain clarity so that they can move forward confidently. I work within a person-centred framework but also use Cognitive Behavioural techniques where required. I also work within a psychotherapeutic framework where past events may be influencing the present day.

My main work consists of Couples counselling as well as trauma focused work, which includes childhood trauma. The work involves psycho education around brain fragments, where clients work to assess when they are operating from the frontal lobe and when they switch to the limbic system where they are reliving old trauma memories. Since Covid there has been an increased demand for couples work. A lot of work is around working with couples in troubled relationships. I work with children and young people who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse as well as bereavement support work.

In sessions I focus on the need to establish safety and stability in your nervous system through developing skills in mindfulness, multidimensional thinking and feeling, psychoeducation and self-expression from the mind and body connection. Once stabilised we can begin to deepen into processing your wants, needs, dreams and fears. I have a wealth of experience working with those in crisis suffering from lack of focus, lack of mobility, stuck in survival responses and loss of hope. With my aptitude to retain regulation and vision I help guide others into theirs.

We help people to overcome anxiety, build self- esteem and confidence, fight depression and low mood, achieve healthy relationships and manage intense or overwhelming emotions such as sadness.
