Person-Centred Counselling in SY1

I understand how daunting it can be seeking counselling and finding a counsellor who you can trust and be honest and open with. I aim to provide a professional, safe, confidential and non judgmental space in which you will be able to explore recent and long standing personal issues and to gain a greater understanding of your unhappiness and distress and find a way to manage this. My main priority is to make this a positive experience for you, and for the changes to be long standing.

I provide a space free of judgement, in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, options and healing at your own pace. I offer this in person, via video or phone, and via email. I have a masters degree in trauma and PTSD and I am also trained in the Rewind Technique. I work humanistically; primarily using person-centered and gestalt, but I do bring in other interventions like CBT, mindfulness, trauma-interventions and creative therapy. To see a list of other training I have done, please visit the About Me section on my website.

Online, outdoor and face-to-face. AuDHD. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers. I offer a safe space where you identify any learnt messages and separate them from who you really are, not who you have become by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through an ND-affirmative person-centred lens, I support you to recognise your differences, celebrate them, and understand their effect on your behaviour and feelings. You are the expert on you, but you may have just lost your voice.

We all have a fundamental need to feel listened to, accepted, valued and understood. Often in life we don't experience these things and we can end up feeling misunderstood, judged, confused and alone. Sometimes, even if we have supportive family and friends, it can be hard to be fully open about how we feel as we fear hurting, upsetting or burdening them. Perhaps you can relate to feeling like that? Perhaps you are finding life difficult and need someone with training and experience to come alongside and help you find a way through?

My name is Scott Reeve, and I am a fully accredited and registered counsellor & psychotherapist with BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy), with over 11 years experience of providing counselling for individuals. I am qualified to MSc level (Masters), and have undergone extensive further training in many areas and am committed to ongoing professional development. I have worked in a variety of different settings, seeing a wide range of issues and needs over these years. Counselling gives the opportunity to dedicate time and space to explore personal issues in the hope this can provide a positive way forward.

Hello, I'm Michael, a BACP-accredited therapist and counsellor offering face-to-face and remote sessions, by phone or video call. I use the person-centred approach to therapy, one of the main approaches taught and used in the UK. I've worked with many clients experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, shame, grief and many of the other emotional difficulties of life. I offer a free introductory call, so you can get a better sense of how it might be to work with me. This is also a chance to let me know more about your situation, if you'd like to, and find out how therapy might help you.

We all need to talk to someone at times, right now life is extremely difficult for many of us! Talking issues through is often the best way to deal with our conflicting emotions. I specialise in depression, anxiety, ​and weight management, along with mid-life transitions and relationship counseling. I believe talking to someone totally unconnected to the problem can help clients see their situation through fresh eyes. I use a combination of therapies to help clients restructure their lives and issues. I am based in a private location in South Cheshire. I also have clients based around the globe via video. Discretion is paramount!

Do you feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, sad, unmotivated? Do you have low self-confidence? Or you’re grieving after the loss of a loved one? Have you been through a traumatic event or experienced trauma in your life. Are you experiencing relationship issues or you’re going through difficult times at work? Challenging life experiences can be hard to deal with, having a counsellor to talk to who is there for you, who you can feel safe with and trust, can help you cope during difficult times. My counselling service is here to help, contact me today if you’d like to book an appointment or arrange an introductory call.

Are you a parent, or foster carer who needs someone to talk to? Do you need a Clinical Supervisor? I have 35+ years experience of supporting children and families, with excellent, proven knowledge of therapeutic parenting, including attachment, developmental trauma, behavioural issues, including PDA and other avoidant behaviours. Has being a parent thrown up issues and worries you didn't see coming? Perhaps your child or teen is really struggling. Has your workload become overwhelming? do you need some practical support? Together we can find a way through the difficulties you're encountering.

Are you going through a bereavement? Are you struggling with anxiety? Have you been suffering with low mood? Do you feel lost, alone or confused? Being human can be tough and we can all experience difficulties with our mental health. This does not mean you are broken or need to be ‘fixed’, but instead you are having a normal human response to an abnormally painful, difficult or scary experience - it can help to talk.

I am a qualified person centred counsellor. I offer a calm and safe counselling space where you can explore and start healing from life’s events and unspoken emotions. counselling is not a space to be fixed as that would imply you are broken, you are simply growing and healing and transforming into your next chapter. together we can work through those really tough emotions and life events regardless of how big or small you may think they are

For some people, the thought of counselling can be daunting! There are so many counsellors out there it’s often difficult to know where to start or who to choose! So let me introduce myself. My name is Ceris and I’m a Person Centred Counsellor with over 10 years of experience working with people who have experienced mental health difficulties. Using a genuine friendly warm approach, I am able to offer counselling to people to enable them to develop a deeper awareness and understanding of themselves and their own situations. I do not offer advice but can offer new perspectives and challenges to situations which seem unmanageable.

How would you feel if I told you that you can stop feeling scared, unsafe and overwhelmed ? That you could connect with those around you in an authentic and meaningful way, rather than masking yourself because you fear losing them ? I can tell you this as I have supported many people like yourself, living with complex trauma to let go of the patterns that are keeping them low, anxious, dissociated, paranoid and lonely. I work with people just like you to firstly understand what has happened to them and how the strategies they are currently using have come to be. I then work to introduce new ways of being in the world.

In our work together I am led by you, although I play an active role in facilitating a space that opens up to the possibility of further self-awareness, developing autonomy and meaning, while in a fully supportive relationship. In collaboration, within a highly relational space, there is possibility of change, personal growth and/or acceptance, for example.

Counselling is one way to give attention to aspects of our lives that trouble us. I concentrate on four areas of life. The first is when we feel bewildered, lost and disorientated. Second is when we see familiar, recurring patterns in ourselves. Third is the pleasures and difficulties of being with other people. Fourth is managing emotion and mood. Ways of thinking, reacting and managing distress vary widely as do practical circumstances. The need to find courage and energy can be tough. Check my website and see if what I offer could be useful to you.

I practice in a non-judgemental way which is individual to each client. My aim is to empower you and help you to live your most fulfilling life by encouraging you to recognise your inner resources and strength and to support your emotional wellbeing. I will work with you to help you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain valuable new perspectives about yourself and your situation and to give you a greater sense of control and choice in your life. I can offer weekly or twice monthly counselling sessions on a long, medium, or short-term basis. We can often make a difference in just a few sessions.

My aim is to help you achieve a better outcome for you regardless of the problem you have. I am a member of the BACP and The EMDR Association.
