Family Therapy Counselling in Pityme

I am qualified and experienced therapist with 10+ years’ experience working in the industry. I have a Ph.D. in Family Therapy, I am a Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy, the Association for Family Therapy as well as a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. My therapeutic approach is always strengths-based; I believe people and situations are deeply interconnected, and this is the way I approach all of the work I do with my clients. I really take the time to get to know my clients so that I can offer tailored solutions to their issues.

I offer short and long term therapy for young people and adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties such as family and relationship dynamics, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, chronic pain, life transitions and historic trauma. You may be feeling stuck in familiar patterns which make you feel vulnerable, afraid or alone causing feelings of emotional overwhelm and confusion without resources to help you cope with daily life. I understand we consider therapy when it feels no longer possible to resolve difficulties and life challenges alone. With warmth, kindness and curiosity, I am here to help.

My clients often come to me because they're battling depression or anxiety that feels so overwhelming and insurmountable that, whatever they do, they can't pull themselves out of their despair. They may have specific relationship, family or career concerns and cannot see a clear way forward.

If you find that words or language is a barrier to understanding yourself and your challenges then music therapy is for you. Being playful with instruments can seem daunting, but you do not need any particular skill and I will help support you in building your confidence to explore and create in a way that helps you gain insight into your emotions and understanding of yourself.

Hi, I am Amey, a Qualified Person Centred Therapist registered with the BACP. I offer counselling to people for a range of reasons including loss, depression, anxiety, low self esteem or those in need of a space to understand themselves and their experiences. For the past 8 years I have mainly worked with people affected by domestic abuse. Both those experiencing abuse and those being abusive. If your life has been touched by abuse and you would like to access a therapeutic space to explore the impacts of the abuse and what you may need to move forwards I would be happy to hear from you.

Hi, I am an intuitive, warm hearted and empathetic psychotherapist, offering sessions where we will work together to make sense of; life changes, bereavement, loss, negative feelings, stress triggers, thought processes, behavioural issues and issues that have triggered anxiety, depression and a lack of purpose. I offer Hypnotherapy, NLP and Energy Psychology within my sessions to support emotional release, resulting in a greater sense of well-being and emotional balance.

Throughout our lives we may encounter challenging experiences. We may feel lost and lack the guidance and clarity to assist in making difficult choices. We may struggle to deal with the affliction of loss or bereavement. We may find it difficult to understand the sensations and emotions attached to trauma and relational conflicts. We may be unsure of our identity and how we fit within the world.

Is life overwhelming and you need to talk to someone? Maybe you need help to develop coping strategies for your anxiety? Whatever challenges you are are facing, I offer a confidential and supportive space to explore your feelings. Being heard and seen in this space, without judgement can be deeply healing. I won't give advice but I won't sit and say nothing either. Instead, I will ask questions and offer other perspectives, enabling you to consider your troubles in depth, and giving you an opportunity to explore what you can do to move forward. I can also suggest ways to help manage panic attacks, and feelings of anxiety and anger.

I understand that seeking counselling for the first time can be daunting. Life can be overwhelming and difficult to make sense of on our own sometimes. Often people don't know where to go for support. Therapy can help you to explore your problems in a confidential and safe space without judgement. Through building a trusting and open relationship where you feel heard and understood I believe that we all have the potential to grow and heal.

Do social situations make you anxious? Do you feel lonely even when you're with a crowd? Do you worry about how you are perceived by others? Do you experience meltdowns or panic attacks? As an autistic woman, I understand what it is to feel like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole. Depression and anxiety can build to intolerable depths. But it doesn't have to stay that way. I can help guide you through the fog.

You may be reading this because you know what you need, or perhaps you don’t know what you need yet. Whatever the case, I will provide you with a safe and confidential space for you to explore your issues at a pace that suits you. I will gently challenge you so that you can discover the root cause of the issue so that we can work together in a non-judgemental way to help you find balance, calm and stability. As a qualified hypnotherapist, you can also choose to make use of these beneficial techniques to help you find relaxation and calm. Being relaxed and calm during our sessions will give you a good foundation begin.

Are you in emotional pain, feeling alienated or dislocated from other people? Do you feel stuck or wish that you could have more satisfying, less stressful relationships? Perhaps your fears and worries prevent you from realising your potential. I work alongside people to help understand the reasons behind such thoughts and feelings. In coming to understand the patterns of your life, and the confusing and painful feelings that accompany them, you can begin to make consciously informed choices about how to live. This leads to a more authentic and less critical experience of yourself, opening the way for greater enjoyment in life.

Does your child challenge you? Not in the ways that others might think... Somehow their behaviour is just... different! But in ways that only you understand. Perhaps your child runs away, doesn't listen, spits, shouts, smears or has frequent "meltdowns". Or perhaps you suspect your child has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed. No matter what is underlying your child's challenging behaviour, as parent myself, I want to help you reduce the behaviours so that your child can achieve their full potential!

Person-centred counselling puts you at the centre of our sessions, while I guide our discussions and support you by introducing psychotherapy tools to provide structure to your thinking. The guiding purpose is to allow you to discover the best way forward for you as an individual - we are all unique. There are a number of reasons why you might want to engage in therapy and often our conversations can cover unexpected topics. I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP and NCPS.

It can be hard to reach out for professional support. Counselling Connection has designed its service to connect you to a small team of qualified therapists who may work in different ways but all have the same goal: to support you on your journey. If you don't "click" with the first counsellor you see, you are encouraged to meet with another member of our team so that you don't have to go back to square one in your search for a counsellor.

Life can leave us feeling quite lonely, confused, or uncertain what to do. I offer a warm and understanding space for you to start to explore these feelings in a safe environment. With experience working with a range of clients and issues I can help you to start to figure out those next steps to regain a sense of control over the issues you may be facing and support you as you move towards finding your balance again. Working within the person-centred approach means I believe in the innate sense we all have inside of us to know and create the change we need for ourselves.

Thank you for reading my profile. I am here to support clients with their mental well-being. We all have times when we feel things are difficult, We all have times when we could benefit from the support of a truly independent other. I can help you to reflect on your emotions and what they may be telling you. I can provide you a truly confidential space to explore your emotions. I can offer my own observations in a way that protects your choice and autonomy. I offer you Honesty, Empathy and an absolute commitment to work with you as a unique individual with individual needs and goals. I offer you a safe place to explore.
