Relationship Issues Counselling in Gloucester

Hello, I'm Camille! As a psychotherapist, my aim is simple: to walk alongside you as you navigate life's twists and turns, empowering you to chart your own course. Starting therapy can be daunting with so many different approaches and qualifications, it can feel like a maze. But together, we'll find the path that feels right for you—one step at a time. No matter where your starting point, in our sessions, you'll find a space where you can be truly yourself. No judgments, just empathy. I'm here to listen, to understand, and to help you make sense of your experiences.

At times of feeling low or anxious we often think, “what’s the point of trying it won’t make any difference”, leading to feelings of depression, sadness, fear and tearfulness. This then leads to changes in our behaviour such as withdrawing from others or staying in bed as we mull things over in our heads which makes us feel worse. Additionally, past trauma issues can often leave us feeling overwhelmed or with experiences of flashbacks and nightmares. Relationship issues left unresolved often leave us with a sense of helplessness and relationship breakdown leave us feel confused. Does this sound familiar to you?

Do you struggle to communicate with your partner. One or both of you end up getting angry and issues don't get resolved. Has one of you has had an affair? You may have erection problems, difficulty orgasming, painful penetration or lack or no desire for sex. Have you found yourself or your partner using more and more pornography or behaving sexually in a way that isn't acceptable or is out of control. You want to creat a better relationship. You want to recover from the pain of betrayal.

As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist I also draw on a number of therapeutic approaches to provide an intervention that suits you and supports you to meet your goals. I work with adults and young people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems providing a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties. I have worked with clients on with a range of issues including Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, Bereavement and Loss, Relationship problems, Worry/Rumination, Social Anxiety, Anger Management, Life Transitions, Skin Picking and Trictillomania.

I'm passionate about supporting families, couples, adults & teens to understand their unhealthy relationships (maybe family dynamics) or move past difficult life events to give you/your family the confidence to be healthier & happier in all connections with others. Are other relationships being affected; family, romantic, friendships, work, school? Do you struggle with (sometimes chronic) health issues? I struggled with abusive/narcissistic relationships for years & needed support to understand how this affected me & what I needed to change to have healthy relationships.

Hi there, I am Emma, a qualified therapeutic counsellor passionate about helping individuals and couples, welcome to my page. Have you been experiencing anxiety or overwhelm, and are hoping to regain control of your life but need some help along the way? Perhaps you and your partner need some help with communicating in a way that builds connection and gives you space to reflect on your relationship constructively. I can offer you a non-judgmental, safe and compassionate space where you can experience being heard and understood.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental counselling space. My central aim is to understand the way you are in the world as best I can, and be alongside you as you bring your difficulties, at your own pace. I work in a client centred way, with the understanding that something which works for one person, might not work for another. I have had experience working with clients with grief, long-term illness, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, neurodivergency, stress, anxiety and depression, life transitions, among others.

I work with adults over the age of 18 to help people overcome the struggles that they are facing in life. It may be a past trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, relationship problems… to name a few. I welcome you to come as you are and together we can explore what is going on for you.

Life events can trigger emotions that are difficult to understand or express. Sudden trauma, redundancy, a business failure, a relationship breakdown, bereavement, abuse, bullying and harassment, or struggles with gender and sexual identity. The list is endless and is as individual as us. These can prevent clear thinking and create worries or reactions, which can go on to cause anxiety, shame, confusion, or possible feelings of guilt that are hard to recognise or cope with. They may also cause a reaction of self-destruction, self-harm, eating disorders, drinking, drug use and other issues.

I understand how challenging and complex life can be at times and I work to accompany my clients to navigate these challenges and explore their thoughts and feelings by providing a safe space to talk. We work together to identify patterns, connect the dots, and understand your experiences, to discover new insights and empower you to make helpful changes. I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work in accordance with the BACP's Ethical Framework, fully insured and DBS checked. Please take a look at my website for more information about the services I can offer you.

Most people will be faced with difficult and painful circumstances during their lives – and it can be beneficial to seek support to help process those experiences. Finding a counsellor you feel comfortable with and are able to talk to is vital. I have worked with people who have faced a range of different challenges; Our sessions together enable my clients to safely process feelings and experiences they are struggling with, allowing them to develop their ability to recognise and embrace their own needs and improve their well-being. I can provide a confidential space where you are able to explore difficulties at your own pace.
