Counselling in Newark-on-Trent

Hello & Welcome. I often meet people when they are at a point in their lives where life is feeling a struggle and uncomfortable. Feeling overwhelmed, out of control and unsure how to deal with the uneasy feelings that are being carrying around. Anxiety, depression, low mood, lack of motivation, panic, family breakdowns, relationship issues or endings, betrayal and loss are some of the issues that can evoke these experiences. I provide a warm, down to earth caring environment for you to have space to speak, be seen and heard, without the fear of judgement. You may be looking to gain some understanding of what is happening for you.

Are you struggling to cope with your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours? Have you experienced traumatic or painful events, which you are struggling to make sense of or move on from? I am a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist with over 15 years experience of supporting people with mental health difficulties including anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma reactions, including PTSD. Alongside my private practice I also work in an NHS perinatal mental health service.

I am Dr Rebecca Money, a HCPC registered and Nottingham-based Clinical Psychologist. I have over 10 years experience of helping individuals and families who have experienced struggles with their mental health. Sometimes people come to see me if they have a specific area in their life they would like to change. Other times it may be to talk and understand previous experiences, or to explore more about themselves. I aim to offer a comfortable, empathic, and non-judgemental environment, asking questions such as 'what has happened?' rather than 'what is wrong?'. I hope that my sessions offer a space where you feel safe and heard.

In my practice I am experienced in helping people age 18 -75 with difficulties in trust, anger, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, chronic people pleasing, low self esteem and relationships. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, being overwhelmed with emotional difficulties can make you feel isolated and struggle to cope in everyday life. We can work together and try to find the best outcome for you with ways to improve your overall well being. I will help you to go from, shame and criticism to kindness and self compassion.

With over 20 years of experience, I have worked 8 years as a counsellor in primary care NHS and 12 years in private practice. Everybody I work with is a unique human being with a personality and life experience like no other. I work eclectically with a wide range of disciplines to achieve the best combination of therapeutic tools to help the client. Our relationship is the most important part of the work we are doing together. My attention and focus is about making you feel safe and cared for so you feel empowered and equipped to engage in the therapeutic process

It is my aim to create a compassionate & safe space where you feel truly listened to & heard. Here we can explore thoughts, feelings & behaviours that may be making life harder with the aim to bring acceptance and then change. I have worked extensively with heightened levels of anxiety, anger issues, depression, patterns of unhelpful behaviours & helped clients to develop & maintain healthier relationships. As an experienced Humanistic therapist I believe that traumatic memories & painful relationships can block our self worth and lead us to take in & believe unhelpful & inaccurate self narratives.

Hi, would you like to address something that is troubling you? You may have a clear idea of what help you want or it may be that you know something isn't right but are unsure what it is and that's okay. Maybe you want to feel better about yourself, reach your potential and feel happier in your relationships? Are you feeling criticised by others? Perhaps you feel invisible, alone and not valued? Maybe you feel dissatisfied with your life, constantly in search of happiness whilst watching others enjoy their lives. Is this affecting your relationships? Are you stuck in this cycle? I know how hard it can be to ask for help.

My ideal client is deeply affected by past experiences that influence their current relationships and sense of self. They yearn for lasting healing, seeking to break free from self-sabotaging patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and cultivate genuine self-acceptance. While the journey towards healing isn't always easy, it's incredibly rewarding. I'm committed to walking alongside you, offering a safe, compassionate space for exploration and growth. With a trauma-informed approach, we'll work to understand how the past shapes the present, developing tools for emotional resilience and fostering a deeper sense of self. Healing tak

Are you feeling overwhelmed with difficult feelings? Have you been through a bereavement or loss that you're struggling to come to terms with? Have you experienced painful and traumatic life events that still impact on you today and stop you living the life you want. Would you like to improve your relationships with the people in your life? You may be struggling with issues life anxiety, depression or low self-worth. My focus is to offer a counselling relationship that is supportive, nurturing and empowering. I can offer practical coping strategies, better insight and understanding as well as help you find your own solutions.

I am committed to forming a trusting therapeutic relationship, that allows you to feel comfortable and safe in sharing & exploring what has brought you to counselling. This lays a solid foundation for working alongside you at your pace and offering a range of approaches that respect and respond to your needs. I work within a pluralistic framework, where I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches that accommodate your preferences and help work through your difficulties.

You thought that becoming a parent would be exciting, but you've also felt overwhelmed, anxious and like you’re struggling to cope. There's been an expectation that you'd be happy and even ‘glowing’ but the reality has often felt very different. It has left you wondering if you’re failing or 'not doing it right' which can make it hard to say you're not OK or ask for help. If this feels like you, please know that you are not alone and that these thoughts and feelings are very common, even if they’re not often talked about.

Life can feel exhausting when you or your child, are struggling with difficult emotions, had difficult past experiences, a recent diagnosis or health emergency. I understand what that feels like and the sense of loss, isolation and feeling lost with how to manage and be strong. You or your child might be struggling with low mood, flashbacks, self harm or suicidal thoughts and feelings. When you feel out of control it can be hard to manage family life, intense frustration and difficult behaviours. I can help you with feeling lighter, more connected to others and confident with daily life through conversation and creativity.
