People, have the basic desire to be heard, understood, and helped when needed. This is not always common in our world. However, this is exactly what I offer in a calm, genuine way. I work with Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD and addictions in its many forms. Addiction and neurodiversity can be linked due to self-medicating. Using one to help with the other is common. Trauma can play a big part in addictions and can be masked by our using. There are difficulties that underlie each and every one of us. Some are very obvious and some we hide hoping no one will notice. This can be very tiring and eventually become a huge burden that we carry.

I wonder how life is for you right now, maybe something difficult has happened, perhaps you are struggling with feelings that make life a challenge? Whatever's going on for you, it can be hard to find the right words to explain how you're feeling. I offer creative expression in therapy (art, poetry, sound, drama, objects) alongside talking counselling. I help with issues such as anxiety, coping with depression, overcoming grief, trauma, low self esteem, people pleasing ... Together we consider the impact of early life experiences and how internal defences maybe show up now. I work at a safe pace using a trauma informed approach.

My name is Ingrid Coombs. I am I C Counselling specialising in the field of trauma which, I believe is an event or events combined with all the feelings and emotions associated with it, which now negatively impact your life.

I also work in the field of addiction, helping those already in recovery examine their journey which took them there. This can encompass past behaviours, relationships, adverse childhood experiences, leading to depression and anxiety and low self worth.

Do you find yourself overthinking relationships, worrying about rejection, putting other people first or shutting down when things feel too much? You may know something keeps repeating but not fully understand why. I work with people who want to make sense of these patterns, including anxious attachment, people-pleasing, low self-worth and fear of abandonment, and begin responding with greater self-trust, security and choice.

I’m a Senior Accredited NCPS and UKCP-reg. Gestalt psychotherapist working with individuals, groups and couples. My work is relational and experiential, with a focus on what unfolds between us in the present moment, as well as how your past continues to shape your emotional world, relationships, and sense of self.

Often this can show up as overwhelm, self-criticism, emotional intensity, or a sense of disconnection, either from yourself or from others.
