Counselling in GU27

Most people through life encounter difficulties that they have to deal with. For some the difficulties can all become too much and they feel they need support. As a counsellor and psychotherapist I offer a safe confidential space where you can explore and work through whatever issues you are struggling with and wish to bring to counselling. It is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship between us so you feel comfortable and supported as you will be dealing with difficult and sometimes very personal thoughts and feelings.

Clients generally seek me out when they want to improve or make a change in their relationships. Counselling can actively improve a couple's communication and potentially make sense of unhelpful patterns of communication and/or behaviour. Clients say that their relationships are stuck in a rut and that the communication and often their sex life, that once was easy, is now fraught with difficulties. Very often people struggle with their sexual difficulty in silence, feeling embarrassed and ashamed, unable to discuss their issues with anyone. Counselling and psychosexual therapy helps both individuals and couples to overcome this.

I am very personable and offer a warm welcome to all my clients, from the minute we speak. I am passionate about counselling and the positive change it can bring. I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the key to enabling your therapy to be successful. I offer counselling through a person-centered approach; I can’t wave a magic wand and make things better for you, but I can be alongside you as you explore your own thoughts and feelings. I offer a safe space which is confidential, non-judgemental, and accepting of you and your needs. Together we can explore the difficulties and challenges you may be experiencing.

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

I have been providing Counselling, Psychotherapy, Supervision and Life Coaching for over 23 years, working with all ages and every issue imaginable. Nothing surprises me or is too strange or difficult. I have worked in Psychiatric Hospitals, Day Programs, Residential Treatment Centres and Out-Patient Therapy Agencies. I work with children and adults, couples, families, and groups. I work within organisations, as well as privately.

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with experience working with adults and 11-18 year olds. My approach is non-clinical as I want to provide a space where you can be yourself, feel relaxed, and explore you're issues with me in ways you find the most helpful. My approach is very much 'one size does NOT fit all' so you will lead our sessions in ways you find beneficial and I will offer you a variety of techniques and tools which we can work with together towards your goal(s).

I am an adult and young person counsellor working for NHS talking therapies as well as running a small private practice. Psychotherapy and Counselling can help by providing a safe and holding space for people to explore their difficulties, thoughts, relationships, feelings and existential dilemmas. A space where we are supported through the presence of an emphatic other to work through emotional difficulties. I value a welcoming, compassionate, warm and accepting stance. I work with anxiety, depression, personality styles, substance abuse and self-harm, self criticism…

Is something negatively impacting your life? Perhaps you're struggling with negative habits, indecision or low self-confidence? Perhaps you feel stuck or repeating unhelpful patterns? I am passionate about empowering you to change & achieve your goals. You will feel heard & supported. I am highly experienced in working online & face to face with you using individually tailored, proven techniques. Down-to-earth, my uniqueness lies with my extensive life experience, my ability to understand, build trust & gain results. I strive to create a safe, confidential & supportive space for you to explore, grow & change.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I am what I call a 'why person' and like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 12 years experience.

Welcome. Life can be tough. Sometimes we simply need to talk with someone who can listen without judgement; who does not 'give advice' but holds the space for personal reflection, growth and development. As a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), I am an independent, experienced and professional counsellor / psychotherapist, an approved Adoption counsellor and qualified in EMDR therapy. I work with young people and adults, including couples and families, across such issues as anxiety, bereavement, depression, relationships and trauma.

I imagine you're here because right now you, or someone you know, could benefit from talking to someone. I offer a welcoming space where we can explore anything you need to work through. While I work with all mental health issues, I have a special interest in working with with ADHD, Autism, trauma, relationship difficulties and anxiety. It can be hard to reach out when you are feeling low and it is my job to make that process as easy as possible for you.

We work with people with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, low self esteem, chronic health difficulties, eating disorders, emotional instability and self destructive coping patterns. In your initial consultation we will explore what brings you to therapy and make a plan for how we will work together. We offer evidenced based structured therapy to help you move forwards in your life. Most of is have doctorates in Clinical or Counselling Psychology and we have all undertaken many years of training and have a wealth of experience working in the NHS and the private sector.

All clients, have the basic expectations and the desire to be listened to, understood, helped, and healed. I offer this. I am a calm, genuine, and non-judgmental individual and have the experience to hold your difficulties safely and securely. My noticing working with people is, no one comes to therapy because they feel OK. There are difficulties that underlie each and every one of us. I have had my issues and you will or have had yours. I do find similarities with some clients who have similar difficulties. The similarities are the underlying trauma of difference. There is the sense that you are alone.

Difficulties addressed in therapy can include anxiety, fear, depression, sadness, loneliness, stress, relational breakdowns or suicidal feelings. Therapy may be challenging at times but we can get to a point where staying stuck hurts more than risking growth.

If you have that feeling that you've lost a grip on your life and things aren't making much sense, then I can provide you with a safe space to explore where this is coming from and how you can take back control. You might feel like relationships are impossible, or even the relationship with yourself is the one you want to focus on - it is the most important one after all! You might just want to be able to offload your feelings without fear of judgement. There are no right or wrong things to bring to therapy, all you need to bring is yourself.

Experiences include anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, low self-esteem, loss of confidence, stress, panic attacks. I am experienced with adults and young people, with a particular interest in 11-16's.

My clients often feel painfully stuck in some way and that's why they come to me. Problems become overwhelming. For instance, being unhappy in a marriage; having a serious illness and dealing with its effects; feeling low and not understanding why; dealing with divorce; having problems with one's children and not being sure how to manage; wanting to move forward in life but just not managing somehow; work issues - struggles with colleagues, dissatisfaction with a career. Anxiety, depression and confusion usually accompany these challenging life situations.
