Counselling in EX1

Life can be hard at times... Are you struggling with everyday situations, are you anxious, depressed or just wondering what its all about? Perhaps you are having relationships problems? I can work with individuals or couples to explore how your situation can be improved and what changes you might need to make. Maybe I'm the person who can be by your side while you make sense of what is making you unhappy or not right in your life... if it sounds as if I'm the right person, please call. I'd really like to try and help.

Feeling stuck? At a crossroads in your career or emotional life? We can all feel lost, unsure, anxious or unhappy sometimes. Do you want to move forward with your life? Feel more connected and confident in yourself? Counselling can help you to understand yourself, build resilience and challenge you to identify painful beliefs and patterns that might be holding you back. ​ I can help with a range of different issues; low self-esteem, anxiety & depression, attachment issues, relationship struggles, pre and post divorce, stress, personal growth, bereavement and more. Get in touch to arrange a free 15 minute call with me.

Does it feel like you're going round in circles? I am here to listen and help you find the strength to move forward. I’m here to facilitate your self-discovery, healing and growth in the direction you want it to go. I offer a safe and supportive space with understanding that facing our realities can be hard. We can face the things that we have been running away from, carefully, gently and with compassion we will talk to the parts of you still stuck in the old ways. Acceptance and change takes time and you may have to revisit things several times but I will go at a pace you are comfortable with.

You may simply be looking to create a reflective space in your week to look and think differently about your current situation and life. Or maybe you want to work collaboratively in a focussed and goal-oriented way on improving wellbeing, strengthening your self-care strategies or understanding and managing stress and anxiety better. I consider myself to be kind, compassionate and gently challenging and aim to create an environment in which clients can move towards changing their lives for the better, learning new skills and gaining insight.

I have a special interest in the transitions and dilemmas that can occur at any point during a woman’s life. These might include marrying; pregnancy; changes in role; relationship difficulties; and the challenges presented at menopause and during the aging process. It is common to experience uncertainty, confusion, fear, and pressure at times of change or loss. Depression and anxiety may emerge as well as other, less common mental health issues. Times of change or loss can be difficult for everyone. I work with all genders, without discrimination. It is not necessary to have a mental health diagnosis to benefit from our sessions.

I am an experienced and registered MBACP counsellor, based in Exeter, working with adults, young people and children. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, bereavement and loss, and trauma. I offer a warm, safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore difficulties or problems from your past or present and look at how these maybe holding you back from living a more satisfying and fuller life. As a humanistic counsellor, I focus on building a respectful, caring and empathetic relationship with you and, through this, support you as you progress towards your goal.

I specialise in the field of unresolved grief, loss and trauma. I use EMDR to treat single or complex post traumatic stress including combat PTSD. I also have experience of supporting the emotional wellbeing of health professionals (or other professions at high risk of vicarious trauma or chronic pressures). Over the last twelve years as a humanistic integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor in a busy NHS environment, I have also experienced a broad spectrum of clients' concerns and struggles.

It's natural to feel a little bit hesitant or nervous when looking for someone to talk to. It's a big step.  If you're reading this, you've already made that step into looking into your options, that's something in itself.  When, or if, you feel that you are ready to contact someone, know that I hold a safe space and a listening ear.

My name is Nikki, I am a qualified integrative counsellor registered with the NCS. I understand how difficult life can seem, and how stuck we can become. I am a compassionate, caring therapist who will not judge you.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about providing support in a way that is accessible and meaningful to the person that I am working with. I offer a space for those who would like to explore further difficulties in their life, maybe trying to understand the underlying reasons for these difficulties and if it seems helpful spending time to think about developing different ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

I am a very experienced psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor based in both central Exeter and London. I provide a confidential, safe and impartial space where you can talk about difficult thoughts or emotional issues. I specialise in working with my clients to improve their quality of life and relationships. My role in offering both counselling and psychotherapy is to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, develop the skills to know and accept yourself and to make changes that are right for you.

You deserve to be free from anything standing in the way of you being true to and at peace with yourself. Perhaps you are feeling like you have lost this, or aren’t sure you have found it within just yet. Maybe you want to voice and explore something which is particularly challenging you. Whatever has brought you here, I would like to provide a supportive space for you to express it. I am an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist, which means I draw on a range of approaches, including creative arts if this is something you are interested in trying. Most importantly, the way we work together must feel right for you.

My name is Anabel Olmedo Gonzalez (MNCS Accred) and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Person Centred Counsellor. I also use aspects of Transpersonal Therapy and Mindfulness within my practice. I offer both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals. Currently only working online (using Zoom) and by telephone. We all experience times of difficulty in our lives, and talking to a trained professional help us to make sense of those challenging times. I have learnt how important is this after many years working as a Social Worker in Spain and now at the NHS working in Mental Health Services.

Are you struggling with anxiety? Or has a recent life event turned your life upside-down? Maybe you really need to talk about past experiences that you can no longer keep bottled up. Whatever it is you want to talk about, I will hear you and be with you. I use a unique mix of therapy and coaching which will not only help you to make sense of the experiences in your life which have led you to where you are now, but just as importantly, help you to move forward with your new understanding. I work in a non-directive way, I am not here to ‘fix you’ but instead to listen to you and be with you, on your individual journey of healing.

I have a lot of life experience and understanding of the importance of life and the struggles we all face, through my own trials and professional workings. ​ ​I am an Integrative Counsellor, which means I'm able to draw on a variety of methods and techniques to best assist you maintaining very relaxed, patient led sessions giving you the opportunity to grow and develop as best you can, helping you to help yourself. I work in a variety of ways to help you feel comfortable and open up in a safe space. My approach is based on working in the here and now looking at whats going on for you whilst also paying attention to unfinished cycles

For all of us there are times when we need the support, understanding and guidance of others.  Knowing there is someone you can trust, that will listen and try their best to help using all their knowledge and experience can be a powerful and transformative experience. I am passionate about guiding people on their journey to recovery and a meaningful life. Throughout my career I have specialised in helping people with eating disorders, and have over 10 years experience in NHS ED services. I am also experienced in working with people to overcome many other difficulties including low self-esteen, depression and anxiety disorders.

Clients have motivation to improve their situation. Counselling can help bring positivity and enjoyment to situations which may currently feel negative and depressing. Counselling can help a person to clarify their own emotional thoughts and processes around a troubling situation. Counselling will not bring new suggestions to your situations, it will enable you to think of new or different paths to resolving disturbing emotional situations in your life.

What matters to you.? Is life feeling overwhelming? Let’s talk about your dreams, your fears, your thoughts, your beliefs, your feelings. Let’s talk about your relationships with partners, family or friends. Let’s talk about why you aren’t as happy as you want to be, why life isn’t going the way you want it to or why you’re anxious or stressed. Let’s talk about how we can unravel what’s going on for you. Let’s talk about finding peace, joy and happiness. Let’s talk and try and find some answers. Let’s talk about what you want in life. Let’s talk.

Having the time and space within counselling to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment is often the first step in making positive change in someone’s life. Our problems can sometimes feel too big or heavy to carry ourselves. Often it’s hard to pinpoint what’s actually wrong, but that low mood, and anxiety over powers us. Counselling will help you understand your behaviours and emotions that little bit better and give you insight into why you may be finding things difficult. With this understanding, it is often the catalyst for positive change leading to a more balanced and healthy future.
