Humanistic Counselling in Lacock

It can often be isolating and overwhelming when something is affecting your mental health wellbeing, and I appreciate that seeking help is not easy. I offer online counselling sessions through my practice, Azure Dragonfly Counselling, that can provide support if you are experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. You may be looking for help with understanding, with ways to manage, and acceptance, or you may be experiencing problems relating to work, home, relationships or self-identity. I can provide a safe place for you to explore and reflect on experiences, where you can be your authentic self with no fear of bias.

I am a fully qualified Humanistic & Integrative Counsellor able to help you through any of lifes difficulties. Life is all about 'Relationships'. How we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world around us. In our modern fast paced and demanding world we can lose touch with who we are as an individual. We can get pulled in different directions for varying reasons, either in our personal relationships or professional. Stress, Anxiety and Depression along with life events can prevent us from realising our full potential and drag and hold us back. Trauma's at anytime in life can feel overwhelming and all consuming.

Welcome, I’m Eilidh. I am a Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor, offering counselling to both adults and children. Life is rarely travelled without experiencing a period of difficulty. These can be as short as a day, or sometimes for what seems like forever. The impact and cause can be obvious and in-the-present, or sometimes less so, perhaps from your distant past. No matter the cause, you may be left depressed, anxious, or consumed by negative thoughts. The onset of feeling stuck and alone, not knowing what to do, often accompanies these emotions.

I provide counselling from my private practice at my home in Melksham, Wiltshire. This is a private room providing a safe and confidential space for our work together. I can offer various daytime and evening appointments throughout the week. My training helps me to provide you with a reliable, regular, non-judgmental space where you can begin to talk about whatever is on your mind. I work in what is called an integrative way, using a wide range of therapeutic models, but primarily focusing on humanistic counselling.

I am a trained, accredited and registered (UKCP and UKAHPP) Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, with over 15 years’ experience. Apart from six years’ training (humanistic, UKCP accredited) as a Psychotherapist, I have also done further courses in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Sex Therapy, Addictions counselling, Couples’ counselling and have specialised in working with domestic abuse survivors. Before training as a Psychotherapist, I worked in Higher education Administration. I am experienced in working with individuals bringing a whole range of issues from anxiety and depression to bullying and other abuse.

I am experienced in providing counselling to adults and I am ACTO certified for online and telephone counselling and clinical supervision. I use an integrative humanistic approach where I will walk alongside you within your process while providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. I will challenge you when it may be helpful to unlock and discover more about you or your mental health. I will also safely encourage you to connect with your emotions as we work together with no pressure to go any deeper than you are comfortable going, as we build a unique and trusting counselling relationship to reach your goals.

You might be struggling with something difficult in the here and now, such as the loss of a loved one, or the breakdown of a relationship. Or perhaps you’re aware of vague, underlying feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger. Maybe you feel trapped in a cycle of repeated disappointments with partners, friends and careers and don’t know why. Whether you know what the problem is, or even if you don’t, therapy can help. It’s an opportunity to explore yourself; to examine feelings, thoughts and motivations and gain understanding - the first step towards navigating a different, happier course.

As a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor, if you choose to work with me I will value your uniqueness, listen to you and witness your story without judgement. At times, we may all need to reach out and seek help in our life-journeys. We may need help to find out how we really feel and who we really are or would like to be, and feel more empowered. My charges range from £30 to £70 per session depending on individual financial circumstances.

Hi, I'm Suzi, a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and I wholeheartedly trust that each person holds the potential to discover and cultivate confidence in being the authentic versions of ourselves. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or personal growth, I am committed to creating a nurturing, safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing. You may wish to focus exclusively on the present moment, your current life circumstances. You might wish to share experiences from your recent past, or from throughout your life.

Are you finding life a challenge right now? Struggling with grief or the loss of a loved one? Anxiety or low mood becoming unmanageable?

I am a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.

Occasionally it helps to review and reflect on life's pathway. It can be hard to do this by ourselves, our friends and family may feel too close to confide in. It can be helpful to explore our feelings and emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment, I can provide this in a relaxing, quiet therapeutic space in Devizes. I have 15 years’ counselling experience with a deep interest in working with; bereavement and loss; with military families and veterans experiencing PTSD; with young people with additional needs such as autism, ADHD and ADD. I work in an integrated style with a special interest in Compassion Focused Therapy.

Welcome. I am guessing this may have been a difficult step for you but I hope it is the first on working through whatever is on your mind at this time. I am an Integrative Counsellor with strong foundations in Person Centred therapy - I believe you know YOU better than anyone. I would be privileged to support you whilst you explore the things on your mind. The strength of our therapeutic relationship is paramount so we can have an initial 30 minute session to make sure you feel comfortable that I am the right counsellor for you. We would also look at any goals you would like to achieve.

My ideal client is someone who will be honest with me in order for us to work together. I enjoy working with clients who are not really sure why they feel the way they do, but know that something is not quite right and feel the need to investigate this further. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with clients who have anxiety, depression, lack of self confidence and body image issues along with relationship difficulties. I work with clients to identify their needs and goals to create a unique personal treatment plan in order for them to reach their goals within a sensible time frame.

My approach centres on understanding you as an individual and seeking to build a relationship of trust with you over time. We’ll work at your pace, and with what you want to address. It depends on you but our work together might include: looking at current issues in your life from an alternative perspective; noticing how how patterns learnt in early life might be affecting you now; connecting into feelings that perhaps you have been avoiding; expressing thoughts or emotions you haven’t been able to share and facing issues from your past that have felt too tough to confront previously when, and if, it feels right.

I am an experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor with over 15 years experience. I offer sessions for individuals and couples on both a long and short term basis depending on what is needed. I have an established private practice in Box, Wiltshire. I am also a member of BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Hi, and welcome to my profile. Whether you know exactly why you want therapy or your reasons feel vague but important, I'd like to help you get to the heart of the matter. I listen carefully and engage in a focused way to help you towards your goals, whether they be understanding, healing, growth, action or anything in-between. Your struggles are vital signs, like pain from the body, telling you that something needs attention. This might look like burnout, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, numbness, perfectionism, doing things you know cause more problems than they solve or just a chronic feeling of wanting more from life.

Hello and a warm welcome to my page. If you are unhappy or anxious and would like to talk to someone, I can offer a safe and confidential space for you to do that.

How are you? That's a question that gets asked a lot but it's often more of a statement, a greeting than an actual question. Most people don't even stop for the response and if they do, they're often too busy thinking about what they want to say, rather than listening to what's being said. It's no wonder then that we often stop asking ourselves that question too. If you're ready to stop and answer that question, then I'm here to listen and to hear what you have to say. Even if right now, you don't have the words, or you just don't know what to say... we can start with the question and go from there.
