Counselling in Bedford

Everyday life throws up challenges which can effect our emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual state. Therapy provides a safe environment to talk about anything you want to. Exploring issues such as relationship difficulties, physical and mental health concerns, loss, self-confidence and self-esteem can make a real difference. When words are not enough... the creative arts are used alongside talking therapy to give a different perspective and help make sense of your experience. Focusing on understanding your feelings, supporting a healthier, stronger self, and helping to gain a sense of meaning in your life.

I am a integrative counsellor (based in Bedfordshire, UK). This means I adapt to you and deliver the best suited therapy for your needs such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred Therapy , Psychodynamic Therapy and Creative Intervention. I will never enforce a particular way of working with my clients as I believe every individual’s situation is different. I decided to become a counsellor because I am passionate about working alongside people to help them go through their therapeutic process, helping them to achieve their best.

How are you today? Maybe stressed, sad, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, worried, confused? Is it something else? I would like to help you. I specialise in helping others through life's difficulties and finding a way forward. I work online or via the telephone. I've worked with many client issues such as depression, anxiety, family issues, problems in relationships, work stress, low self esteem and confidence.

Having undergone therapy myself I appreciate the importance of finding a therapist whom is able to facilitate a safe, warm and confidential environment to support the exploration of your story. I have worked with an array of clients whom have accessed therapy for varying reasons that they feel are inhibiting them from living an authentic life. My role within the therapeutic relationship is to work alongside an individual to facilitate self-exploration and consider alternative routes that may lay before them. I offer individual, group, relationship and family therapy. Please follow the link to my website for further information about these services in more detail. I have extensive knowledge of addiction in all of its forms and have worked with both those in the depths of their addiction as well as those whom are in recovery and have also supported friends and family members too.

I am a qualified Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor. I work in a person centred way offering support and understanding, without judgement. I find that clients value a safe place to tell their story, knowing that their thoughts and feelings will be accepted and their confidences kept.

I am an Integrative Humanistic therapist who offers solo and couples counselling. I put the relationship between the therapist and the patient at the heart of the therapy, helping to create a space for you that feels safe to explore whatever you would like to work on at a pace that suits you.

Welcome to BodhiSpace. When modern life takes its toll on our emotional and mental health, you or someone you care about may experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma or other distress. These may be new symptoms which have suddenly emerged or they may be familiar symptoms originating in past experiences. Our services cater for adults, children, young people and families, and our therapists offer a range of different techniques to suit individual needs. If reaching out feels difficult and costly, our free initial phone consultation will allow you to explore what you need at your own pace and make an informed choice.

I work with adolescents and young people aged 12-25, with my expertise in working with care experienced young people. I am compassionate, empathetic, understanding and am committed to creating a warm, safe, non-judgemental space in which to explore whatever has brought you to Therapy. When a young person feels heard in an empathic, non-judgemental way, by someone separate from their lives, it allows them the freedom to explore their feelings without fear of being judged.

I will support you when life is feeling tough, even overwhelming, especially when you are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, grief, bereavement, feeling lost or empty or having negative thoughts and feelings or perhaps there are changes you want to make in your life and would benefit from being in a calm and nurturing space. We can work together in a compassionate environment by exploring what is happening for you at the moment and perhaps looking at your past, such as your childhood or relationships, how it affects you now whilst helping you to move forward to live the life you want to experience.
