Counselling in Ross-on-Wye

Di tanto in tanto ci troviamo davanti un blocco e ci impantaniamo, succede a tutti. Può essere frustrante, limitante e doloroso. Eppure dietro ogni blocco c’è dell’energia, e guardarlo dall’alto – come da un ponte – può aiutarci a liberare il nostro potenziale. Questo è quanto cerco di offrire ai miei clienti, che stiano affrontando una depressione, l'ansia, una perdita, un trauma o una difficile transizione. Il mio approccio è creativo, in quanto si adatta ai bisogni individuali, e culturalmente sensibile, perché si basa sulla mia personale esperienza di transito. Pratico in inglese a italiano. Faccia a faccia e online.

Sono un counsellor qualificato presso l'istituto Metanoia di Ealing a Londra, e sto completando un master in Psicoterapia basato sull'Analisi Transazionale. Sono membro tirocinante del Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) nel Regno Unito. Offro sia terapia a breve che a lungo termine in italiano ed inglese, di persona ed online tramite Zoom.

Sono una psicoterapeuta qualificata (MSc) ed esperta in molte aree del disagio psicologico e vari aspetti dell’esperienza umana. Molte circostanze possono causare una grande quantità di sofferenza: eventi che causano alti livelli di stress, transizioni di vita, la perdita di una persona cara, avversità durante l'infanzia o più tardi nella vita. Spesso queste esperienze sembrano opprimenti, facendoci sentire soli, persi, senza speranza o mettere in discussione il significato della nostra esistenza.In questi momenti la terapia può permetterci di ritrovare la serenità e di vivere una vita più appagante.

I work with adults, couples and young people, and with those experiencing a range of various difficulties including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, identity issues and grief. I also have experience working with survivors of trauma and sexual abuse, and the distressing ongoing effects this can have on everyday life. I also work with LGBTQ+ and GSRD (gender, sexuality and relationship diverse) individual and people who are questioning their gender identity, sexual orientation or relationship styles.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.

I am a professional, qualified therapeutic counsellor working with adults in the North Cotswolds. I am warm, empathic and genuine. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can express yourself freely and process complex thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Whatever brings you to seek counselling, I will work hard to understand your goals and support you as you move towards resolution, relief or change. I have a degree in therapeutic counselling, experience gained through working in charities in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, and am a registered member of the BACP, working in accordance with its Ethical Framework.

Psychotherapy is a word that derives from ancient Greek and means 'liberating the soul'. Our sessions together are an opportunity to talk about concerns and issues that might be difficult to share with family and friends and that might feel overwhelming to deal with alone. It is a chance to feel supported, gain insight and make positive changes, in a way which respects your values, personal resources and freedom of choice.

You may or may not know in advance what the source of your difficulties may be. Part of our process is to explore together what has led you here. Every person is different. Amid the stresses of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with our own deepest needs and feelings – until they become too painful or persistent to ignore.

If you are struggling with negative thoughts and feelings and want to change these to more positive thinking then don't wait contact me now. I have 40 years experience of working with the NHS and treated thousands of patients successfully with CBT or EMDR

Welcome to my profile, I am a highly experienced Counsellor of 25 years, which accounts for my knowledge and intuition. Specialising in Sexual Abuse/Assault, Trauma/PTSD, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, LGBTQ+ & Young People - to reduce confusion, be heard and enable choice. I create a space where we connect as equals, and explore together at your pace. My belief is that therapy needs to be with someone you can feel comfortable and safe with. I look forward to hearing from you for a chat, to assess your needs and see how I can be of assistance to you.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist currently working in the NHS in a Community Mental Health Team for Adults in Working Age. I love my job and I believe it is a privilege to be able to step into someone’s life and become, even for a short amount of time, part of their life story, their narrative. My aim is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and ultimately empowered. In the past, I have helped people to process past traumatic experiences that were having a major impact on their lives and to understand patterns of relating to self and others which might have left them feeling stuck, anxious, sad, guilty, and/or ashamed.

I offer you a safe place to explore your emotions and the issues that trouble you and will work with you to find solutions which will improve your life. Therapy with me is about preparing to make changes. I will help you release the thoughts that trouble you, your fears and despair and help you contain those most intense feelings so we can look deeper into the reasons why you are not functioning as you would like to. We can't always change the way those around us behave, but we can change our attitude to life and to others.

Want to explore what's brought you to therapy in a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental setting? I'm an Integrative psychotherapist - the essence of my practice is to work with you transparently and with warmth, empathy, humour and gentle challenge.  Perhaps you’re struggling - feeling alone and isolated.  Maybe you’re overwhelmed, depressed, burnt out or anxious.  It could be that what you’re experiencing isn’t any of these - maybe you don't feel yourself and you don’t know why.  If you’re experiencing any of these feelings, sharing your burden through counselling can help. 

Something is standing in the way of you living the life you want to lead. You may feel tired of the way that you are living or feeling - completely 'full up'. This could be showing up as burnout from personal or professional commitments, in relationship problems that are following a familiar pattern, or in seeming outwardly successful but feeling the opposite on the inside. You may find it difficult to identify and say what you need, or experience outbursts of anxiety or rage. Your inner critic may take a walk on the wild side too often.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (Certified Transactional Analyst in Psychotherapy-CTA-P) and supplementary full training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level 1 and Level 2) and EMDR. I also hold a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a Master NLP Practitioner (prior to become a psychotherapist I practiced as a Coach since 2007). I have treated clients with a large variety of conditions - see https://www.presentingpast.co.uk/overview-five.

You may wish to tackle issues as an Individual or within a Family or Relationship setting; or your concerns may be of a more intimate nature entailing a Psychosexual or Sexual Addiction/Compulsivity issue. “There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.” ― Richard Bach, author (1936-)

Welcome. My name is Antonella and I'm an experienced and dedicated counsellor working with both adults and young people. I support people who are going through all kinds of struggles and challenges. Clients I have worked with have told me that for the first time they were able to talk and express their feelings and thoughts about themselves and life as they felt safe and comfortable. I offer a safe and confidential space where you are free to explore yourself and your concerns, and discover your inner resources at your own pace. I will genuinely listen, be with you and accept you for who you are without judgement.

Life is a journey of discovery of the self, and diversity is the beauty of this world. Who a person is and what makes them happy is unique and most of the time different from others. Being truthful to self brings resilience, but even so, life can be a continuous challenge. Maybe right now you feel you are on the journey of self-discovery, or you want to start it. Perhaps, you are facing some new or old challenges in life that you want to overcome, control, get the better outcome of it, or get over it. Or you want to make some sense of some old matters that still influence your life, or to take control of some ongoing ones.
