Personality Disorders Counselling in Basingstoke

I am a licensed Psychologist registered with the BPS and HCPC. I worked in a clinical setting for over 22 years with a variety of client groups including community, outpatients and inpatients hospital. I have worked extensively with clients with mental disorders and neuro-developmental conditions even when these are strongly affected by childhood trauma. I offer talking therapy and also a unique approach to health and wellness including EMDR, neurofeedback an body biofeedback technology to help the body and the brain to better self-regulate and heal naturally without medication or with less reliance on medication.

I am an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with the BABCP with 10 years experience of using CBT to treat various psychological disorders. Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts of horrific nature that makes you feel like a bad person? Or do you engage in excessive checks or intense fear of contamination hence the need to engage in certain rituals to feel safe and to keep others safe? If you struggle with any of the above as well as constantly re-living past trauma events and struggle with depression leading to isolation, then get in touch!

I have been working as a therapist for 11 years and have a broad breadth of experience working with many presenting issue's. I take a warm, comfortable, welcoming and genuinely caring approach to my work. Asking for help can be very difficult and I recognise that. If you feel you have tried everything and nothing has changed then talking to a professional may help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Therapy can be useful to increase awareness and provide understanding of why we do what we do.

Therapy is your space to untangle hard feelings, difficult situations or work through past, painful experiences. Whatever your reasons or goals for coming to therapy, I'll provide a gentle, supportive relationship for you to do just that. You will have a safe space to be yourself without being judged. I'll be beside you as you make sense of things and understand yourself better. Or you might want some help to recognise unhelpful patterns that you want to change or resolve or accept those complicated feelings.

I offer Individual and Couples Therapy in-person and online. I'll support you with kindness, compassion, empathy and understanding. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, stress or something else and are looking for support from someone who will listen without judgement in a confidential and safe environment please get in touch. Are you a carer looking after a loved one with a life limiting illness? or generally just don’t feel good about yourself? Whether you are looking to cope with a specific mental health issue, better manage unpleasant emotions or simply want to feel better about yourself, counselling can help.
