Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in PE19

Are family dynamics causing you stress? Perhaps you need a space where you can explore how you REALLY feel; away from the expectations set by your family. Is there an unwritten rule in your family that you must not speak about problems or bad behaviour? Does this leave you feeling silenced and frustrated? If you're looking for someone who understands these struggles because they've lived it too, then I might be the right therapist for you.

Hello , I'm Abbie . I offer therapeutic counselling sessions both in-person and online. Life can throw some difficult and challenging experiences our way , leaving us feeling overwhelmed at times and doing our best to find ways of coping. These experiences can range from significant events in life to more day to day stresses . Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? trying to cope with loss or past trauma in your life? Perhaps you are trying to navigate complicated relationships or it might be that for no known reason you are just not feeling yourself and want to seek a better understanding -helping you to move forward.

I never set out to work with a specific kind of person, however, around 70% of my clients tend to be women aged between 30 and 45. They worry, feel stressed and not good enough. They often find themselves saying 'what if' all the time having lost their zest for life without any knowledge of why! It might be triggered by past traumatic events, the challenges of juggling life, family or work. These feelings might be a new, unexplained experience or they may have been around for decades. Does this sound like you? Even if this doesn't, you may be like the other 30% of people I work with, and you matter too!

Hi, life has been trying for most of us in the last few years and we can find ourselves facing situations, that in the past we dealt with reasonable ease but now can seem difficult to resolve. Are you struggling with bereavement, loss, relationship issues, worries, repetitive thoughts? Or do you just need a safe place to be and reflect; being able to talk things through with someone impartial and non judgemental, to listen to you, to find a solution to the issue you want to resolve.

I believe that all people have the potential to be the best version of themselves providing they are met with the right conditions. Sometimes circumstances in peoples lives can act as blocks and lead them down paths they don’t want to be on. Finding the way back to contentment and fulfilment can be difficult alone, I hope I can walk alongside you and together we can get you to where you want to be in life. I am passionate about counselling and psychology and am fascinated by people and understanding what makes them who they are. I work with both individuals and couples.

I believe that as we are all unique the counselling we receive should be tailored to meet your individual needs which is why I work as an integrative humanistic therapist. This allows me to get to know you and understand your perspective on your issues to enable you to make the changes in your life you would like to make by offering you a warm, friendly and confidential space for you to explore what ever is worrying you. I work with clients to build a trusting and safe relationship which will allow you to feel you can explore your feelings freely and without judgement enabling a greater sense of empowerment for your life ahead.
