Relational Counselling in Somerton

My clients are at the heart of every session, creating a welcoming, safe and relaxed atmosphere where communication can flow freely and openly. The most important thing is that you are comfortable, at ease and feel able to talk. I aim to help you see your challenges more clearly and to face the problems with less anxiety and tension. It can be an opportunity to think and speak your truth without fear of judgement. I am trained to incorporate techniques associated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Guided Visualisation, Psycho-dynamic Therapy and Transactional Analysis amongst others into my work.

There are so many reasons why you might be looking for a counsellor/therapist; these could be depression, anxiety, sadness, relationships, past abuse, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss etc and now the effects of Covid 19. Sometimes you just need a neutral place to think; someone to listen and help you make sense of what's going on and enable you to make the changes you want and need. I'm a counsellor it's what I do. I offer a compassionate non-judgemental place where you will be safe to speak. In our first appointment I will listen to what you bring and we can then decide together how to move forward together.

Come to a peaceful setting where the supportive presence of animals in my counselling/ equine-assisted therapy sessions is particularly conducive to helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. For clients leading hectic lives, they find space to become calmer and more reflective, whilst for those who are lonely, hurt or bereaved they experience a warm, reparative relationship. The comforting presence of animals makes my therapy particularly accessible to young people, helping to overcome any barrier that clients may feel about sharing painful feelings or experiences, helping to build a collaborative relationship.

Are you exhausted by the effort it takes to manage your feelings? Do you want to feel safe? Do you wonder who you are or why you feel bad? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, panic disorders or relationship problems, there is good news. Research has shown that a good relationship with a counsellor/therapist can really help. My approach is to help you understand both 'your hidden self' (the unconscious) and find everyday tools and tasks that can help you change your life. I hope I can show you that all the wisdom and creativity you need to enjoy your life is within reach.

I am a counsellor who focusses on the value of the therapeutic relationship and how trust and safety can support you and help you to validate and understand your experience without judgement. I work as an equine and nature assisted somatic trauma therapist and find it very helpful to combine this work with gentle trauma sensitive yoga practices to help regulate the nervous system. I have trained with Equusoma which brings elements of somatic experiencing into the experience of equine connection, I am also training in Somatic Experiencing. The work I do helps to integrate and process the experience of the mind and the body.

Welcome.. I provide a safe, confidential, professional, non-judgemental space for you to explore ways to self-support, bring awareness, compassion and understanding to the areas of life that have become challenging, overwhelming or traumatic. Counselling offers a container where movement and change can occur, where it's possible to find freedom and clarification around the things that weigh us down. I will work with you to identify the strategies and patterns that may restrict you living a fuller life, discover how they were formed, for what reasons and will support you to find ways to evolve and progress where change is possible.

Hi there, I’m Sam and I am a BACP registered person-centred Counsellor and qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and I work with adults, children and adolescents. I understand the importance of a safe space to explore and understand feelings, and to consider and become aware of unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Together we can discover how to make positive changes and manage difficult feelings and emotions. I have a number of years experience working in a NHS commissioned service around common mental health difficulties. I want to help you reach your goals - we will explore the past and present to help you to heal and thrive.

If you are feeling that you need help in your life for whatever reason, perhaps in your relationship, family dynamic, a work situation, with depression, anxiety or your mental health; for significant loss or past or present trauma; if life is just too challenging to cope with; if the way ahead feels uncertain; if you are without hope and feeling isolated or overwhelmed; or if you simply want to explore a problem or experience to help your general wellbeing and happiness, we can work together.

My name is Nicola, I'm a qualified relationship and psychosexual therapist. For the foreseeable future I am working online. I am also a qualified NLP coach. I see couples and individuals for short or long-term psychosexual and relationship therapy. My approach is integrative. I help with rebuilding intimacy, mismatched desire, affairs and betrayals, loss, relationship difficulties, , open-relating, sexual problems, self esteem and confidence.

In our daily lives there can be times that we find we have problems that are difficult to endure and even harder to share. I offer appropriate individual therapies aimed at your own personal needs in a confidential and safe environment, where we can work together with respect and the time needed for you to explore your own emotions and work towards a positive outcome.

Having a fulfilling and lasting relationship is something we all aspire to, but it isn't always easy. Relationships can go wrong for all sorts of reasons and it's difficult to know where to go for help. In my work as a sex and relationship therapist, I work with both couples and individuals to not only get your relationship back on track and improve communication, but also to help it develop so that it achieves its full potential. Often, problems in a relationship can be an opportunity to develop it so get in touch with me if you need some help either to heal a crisis or to make your relationship the best it can be.

My belief is we each have within ourselves the innate capacity to bring about the growth and change we long for: it simply needs rediscovering and nurturing for our way forward to emerge. What I can offer is an attentive environment and the kind of supportive relationship that nurtures that seed within. We all experience life events which can be disturbing, distressing, troubling, making our lives feel difficult or off balance: in providing a supported space- set apart from the routine of life- I offer the opportunity to explore and reflect upon whatever is causing you concern: together.

Do you want a clearer focus, a 'lighter' way of being? If you're experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress or dealing with trauma, addiction and relationship challenges I can work with you online or by phone. We can explore where your emotions come from, how they affect you and how you might approach change. If you'd like equine assisted or 'walk and talk' therapy and we feel it could be beneficial, we can plan a program alongside online counselling sessions.
