Italian Counselling in Worsley

Nel corso della vita può capitare di avvertire un senso di sopraffazione senza riuscire a capirne il motivo. E questo può farci sentire disconnessi con gli altri e con noi stessi. Spesso il problema non è chiaro ai nostri occhi e parlarne con qualcuno, all’interno di uno spazio sicuro, può aiutare a capire ciò che sta accadendo. Affrontare certe problematiche all’interno di una relazione terapeutica dà la possibilità di progredire in quello che è il proprio percorso di crescita personale e scoperta di sé stessi. Ciò che metto a disposizione è uno spazio sicuro ed intimo in cui sentirti ascoltato e validato.

Benvenuto in questa pagina, sono Virginia, una counsellor psicoterapeutica Rogersiana. Nutro una profonda passione nel lavorare con clienti che hanno subito abusi narcisistici, sia romantici che genitoriali, e con coloro che affrontano la perdita. Riconoscere la presenza di un individuo narcisista può essere difficile. Nel caso di un genitore, i segni rivelatori includono critiche severe, sentirsi perpetuamente inadeguati nonostante gli sforzi, e tentativi di controllo attraverso sensi di colpa o richieste eccessive di attenzione. La loro mancanza di empatia ti fa sentire inascoltato e invalidato, e i loro sbalzi d'umore,incerto.

Ho ricevuto la mia formazione specialistica presso l'Instituto Tavistock Relationships di fama internazionale, 1948. Ho imparato ad ascoltare imparzialmente alle coppie che affrontano problemi intimi. Aiutando quindi a elaborare nuove e migliori soluzioni, portando naturalmente a un futuro più appagante.

Hi, welcome to this page. There might be several reasons why you are looking to start therapy: Maybe you feel stuck and don’t know how to overcome a difficult situation. Or why the same things seem to be happening to you. Maybe you feel very sad and like you’re carrying heavy baggage. Stress might be a bit too much and you wish you could stop the race inside you. Maybe you just want to feel better. Maybe you are not sure, but you feel that all is not ok. And maybe all the above at the same time.

If you're someone navigating the complexities of anxiety, stress, or depression, often feeling overwhelmed by life's transitions or relationship challenges, you seek understanding and strategies for emotional management. Your goal is to achieve balance, control your thoughts and feelings, and foster personal growth. You want to be heard, to make sense of your experiences, and to learn adaptive ways to thrive amidst challenges. You're looking for a compassionate partnership that empowers your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I am a qualified counsellor with extensive experience working with people struggling with PTSD, OCD, General Anxiety Disorder, panic disorder, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Counselling can help people in distress and lead to changes in the way they see themselves and feel about their situation. Counselling however is not just for crisis, so I am also open to working with people who want to access counselling as part of personal development. I will be able to help you recognise and acknowledge underlying feelings, makes sense of them and draw on any new meanings which emerge to make positive changes in your life.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

I'm a Person Centred Diversity-Affirming Counsellor and have extensive experience in working successfully with people to overcome relationship/s and family problems caused by anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma and abuse. Whether it's a relationship break up, cheating, jealousy, frequent arguments, lack of trust, poor communication, fear of rejection and abandonment, navigating polyamory, coming out, explaining ADHD or Autism to your partner/s, friends and family, the list goes on.

What happened to us, doesn't have to define us. The narrative of our issues can be transformed in something different. A healing story that can give you empowerment and freedom. Maybe you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger. Maybe you are looking for happiness or you feel you are lost. Or maybe, you still don't know what's missing. Regardless, I understand it's important for you to know how to cope, where you want to go in your life and what really matters to you. Finding and/or redefine your personal story, that fits your own true self, may give you the answers you are looking for.

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.

Hi, thank you for visiting my page. I would like to work with you to help you feel better about yourself, and to develop motivation to live your life, and make changes if you want to. I have been working in the mental health field for a number of years, and I am very passionate about it. Counselling can be quite scary , and well done for taking the first step in healing and change. My approach is integrative which means that although my foundation is person centred I use other approaches from cognitive behavior, to transactional analysis to internal family systems.

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.

Se stai leggendo queste righe, vuol dire che hai speranza e coraggio nel cambiamento. Per questo hai il mio assoluto rispetto. Posso aiutarti in molti modi dal punto di vista terapeutico, ma forse le sfere della vita in cui ti posso aiutare maggiormente, sono quelle che ho vissuto io in prima persona, perché conosco le difficoltà e il dolore che le avvolgono. Sentirsi lontane da casa, lottare per un senso di accettazione e appartenenza. Studiare e costruirsi una carriera in campo accademico, facendo fronte a tutti gli impegni che spesso sembrano opprimenti. Se tutto questo risuona familiare voglio che tu sappia che ti posso aiutare

La decisione di vedere uno psicoterapista può intimidire, specie dato che viene ancora molto spesso associata con seri problemi psichiatrici o considerata approprata solo per chi ha vissuto gravi traumi. I momenti o le aree di difficoltà, però, sono esperienze che accomunano tutti: è importante riconoscere i momenti in cui possiamo trarre beneficio da un aiuto esterno, come è importante non interpretare tale aiuto come un lusso a cui non abbiamo diritto. In momenti di stress, preoccupazione o malessere, la terapia può essere di supporto.

Even the strongest of us need help and support, and therapy is not meant to “fix” someone but to help them discover their full potential, this is my philosophy. Therapy is like a journey that the therapist and the client undertake together to explore the best options, with the client being the expert in their lives. Nobody knows better our life and what does it mean to be us than ourselves. Therapy is there to act as a guide for these explorations. And it is a privilege for the therapist to be part of this very personal journey and to share her knowledge and expertise, enabling in this way the change for a better life.

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.

You as a human being, you have a choice. And you can choose. You can choose to gain victory over yourself—or you can choose to try to pursue, for the rest of your life, trying to gain victory over your problems. In one, you will never win—in one you’ve got a fair shot. Prem Rawat

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that requires participation and investment from you. If you are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, low mood, lack of purpose, bereavement, low self-esteem, I can help you. My aim is to help you become the best version of yourself. ​

I have been working with families, children and adults who have presented with moderate to severe mental health difficulties and emotional distress. I am also interested in trauma and the treatment of self-harm and suicidal behaviours. Over the years, I've supported young people and adults with histories involving early traumas, abuse and neglect. I am qualified in assessing and treating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, eating disorders, attachment disorders and broken relationships.
