Counselling in RH4

Thank you for your interest in Transcend Therapy. My approach is empathic, person-centred and solution focussed. I offer bespoke therapy programmes to suit individual client needs and presenting issues, short or long term programmes, one-off or ad-hoc exploratory sessions. My work is a collaborative partnership between client/therapist. Referrals from BUPA, The Counselling Directory, National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), BAATN, Psychology Today, personal recommendation and direct contact.

We can all find life hard at times. It can throw up difficulties that feel overwhelming and out of our control. I support adults and teenagers through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues and Asperger Syndrome. When we experience distress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or depressed mood, it can feel difficult to bear and leave us feeling powerless. Working alongside a therapist means you need not face these difficulties alone.

Are you finding it hard to cope at the moment, dealing with a crisis or significant change? Are you struggling to concentrate, feel tense and on edge? Maybe you feel disconnected from others and your relationships are suffering? Or are you an adult or teen experiencing anxiety or depression? Gaining insight into what may be driving the behaviours/patterns that are causing the problems in your life, will provide you with an opportunity to shift your mindset to live a more balanced life and improve the quality of your relationships.

SPACEStherapy is a trauma-informed and trauma-specialist, integrative psychotherapy service. We can offer therapy that works directly with traumatic experiences, and some of our therapists can offer EMDR. But we also understand that for many clients, 'going into' past traumas is not helpful or neccessary. We are experienced in working in a trauma-informed way, which means that we work with an awareness of potential or actual trauma in a client's past, but understand that this does not necessarily need to be the focus of your therapy.

Are you feeling anxious, have epsiodes of low mood, feel overwhelmed or maybe are finding it difficult to cope? I am a qualified, experienced counsellor offering a calm, safe, confidential space to explore life challenges or trauma from the past, in your current life or anxieties/concerns around the future. Together we can work towards positive change and growth which may be through acceptance and understanding or by making changes to the way you view yourself or the world around you. Every client is unique presenting with different struggles and challenges so I tailor my approach to my clients needs to strive for their goals.

I work with Adults and Children offering Supportive, Professional Counselling. I provide a safe place to talk about difficult problems and worries. In my work with Adults I work with many presenting issues, such as generalised anxiety disorder, low self esteem, anger management, bereavement, loneliness, trauma, depression, low self confidence, relationship issues and abuse. In my work with Children presenting issues I often see include anxiety, bereavement, anger management, friendship issues, bullying, ADHD, autistic traits, low self esteem, depression and separation anxiety

If you are feeling anxious, using things like people pleasing, over working or control to feel better, I can help. Maybe you are numbing out using alcohol, food, sex, social media or relationships and you've had enough... I can help. Are you feeling lonely and isolated, even though you are surrounded by people who love you or friends you adore? I can help. Perhaps you feel unheard, never quite able to voice what you need in a way which feels good. Or you are dealing with the fallout of narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma or estrangement. Guess what? I can help!

From time to time we all have difficulties, whether due to relationship or family issues, bereavement, or childhood experiences for example. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed with anxious feelings and unhelpful thoughts, or become stuck in unhealthy relationships or patterns of behaviour. I will work face to face or online for as long or short a time as you need, to explore whatever is causing concern or distress in your life. Counselling can help you find healthier coping strategies when experiencing difficult emotions; or feel more confident to make more helpful choices to benefit your health and wellbeing.

Are you experiencing a difficult or challenging time in your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Whatever your reason for considering therapy and viewing my profile, it is often the case that we 'hit the wall' or 'crash' emotionally before we can identify that we may need professional support. When our usual coping mechanisms no longer work the struggle can be overwhelming. As your therapist I recognise this as your first and critical step toward positive change. You are, I'm sure, familiar with the phrase 'if you do what you've always done...you get what you've always got' and how true it is.....

I am a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in supporting children and young people, and their families. I work with a range of presenting issues including anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem and behavioural difficulties.

Are you experiencing anxiety right now, social or otherwise? Are you finding it difficult to make decisions or overwhelmed by a problem that you can't seemed to find answers to? You are not alone and sometimes with the support of a counsellor it can help you to find the solutions that you need to move on with your life. Counselling, hypnotherapy and life coaching can help with many types of problems such as: Physical or Psychological abuse, Alcohol or Drug abuse, Self-harming or eating disorders, Relationship or Marriage problems, Bereavement/Grief/Loss Anxiety or Depression

Are you finding life difficult and sometimes overwhelming? Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, low mood, bereavement, abandonment, or isolation? Perhaps you are struggling with problematic relationships, traumatic events, adverse childhood experiences or issues connected with spirituality or religion? Working in a calm, safe, non-judgemental therapeutic space I could help you heal from painful past experiences, work through current challenges, and envisage a more hopeful future. Working on an open-ended basis allows change to evolve and embed, without the pressure of a limited timescale.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

You've reached this page for many reasons, from being diagnosed with a mental health problem to feeling stuck and unable to progress in particular areas of life. I work from the premise that you are an active participant in therapy and hold choice and responsibility in how you want to move forward, whether this includes making sense of, accepting and processing things that have happened to you, or developing existing skills and building new strategies to cope with life's challenges.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or are having difficulties with relationships, I offer a safe, confidential environment to explore these problematic issues which prevent you from getting the most out of your life. Whatever difficulties you’re feeling, working with a counsellor can give you the opportunity to talk and understand yourself, your life and your relationships better. Gaining this insight puts you in a stronger position to begin growing in confidence and start to make the changes or find the peace you want in your life.

Most people at some point in their lives will struggle with painful feelings or may feel overwhelmed by past or present experiences. These can make us feel lost, anxious, confused, helpless, distressed or angry, sometimes without us knowing why. Counselling is also not just for supporting people through a crisis. Many people come to counselling to explore and get a better understanding of themselves and their lives. Whatever you are experiencing, it can be difficult to explain how we feel to the people who are closest to us. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone who is separate from your everyday life.

Coming to counselling for the first time can be daunting and may take some courage. I would like to offer you a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, neutral space to work through difficult feelings, gain insights and help you move forward. It may be separation or loss that has brought you to this point. Perhaps you are suffering from depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties. It may be past traumas that are affecting you. It could be a vague sense of dissatisfaction and a search for a greater sense of meaning that is the source of your discomfort. Whatever the issue, counselling with a skilled counsellor can guide you through
