Self Esteem Counselling in Chettisham

Hi, how are you? Are you feeling stressed, perhaps a little depressed/low mood, or suffering with low self esteem, fear or issues such as anxiety ( including generalised anxiety disorder) anger? Panic attacks, self-harming, it might be that life has been just difficult to manage: relationships, childhood trauma, bereavement. If any of this sounds familiar, I might be able to help.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist (British Psychological Society) and a Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC). My qualifications and experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. I regard human suffering and relational struggles as inevitable parts of all our lives. In therapy we may deal directly with life’s crisis and difficulties around transitions such as death of a loved one, divorce, illness and career crossroads. I have a wide range of NHS and private sector experience and can competently treat a wide range of psychological issues and distress for individuals and couples.

I have over 20 years of experience of working as a counsellor with adults, young people, adolescents and children. I work face to face as well as on-line. I believe that you have the answers to your difficulties and that I as your therapist will provide a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings with the aim of gaining insight and understanding, so that you may live a happier and more authentic life. I use play therapy with children. Sometimes people come to therapy with specific difficulties, anxiety, depression, self harm, low self esteem and others with more generalised feelings of discontent. I am here to listen.

My work centres around trauma, developmental trauma, emotional neglect, the highly sensitive person and the capacity to understand and express feelings and emotions. Through working with body awareness, somatically and with mindfulness breathing, you will come to understand how these feelings arise and why your body responds and behaves in the way it does; why you say things and act as you do. As you become aware of the effect of this on yourself and others, you can make informed decisions and choices on how to change this so that you live your life fully and authentically to reach its full potential.

I am an integrative Therapist with over 24 years of experience and an MA in Psychotherapy and counselling and am an accredited member of the BACP. I am passionate about the healing power of counselling, psychotherapy and the capacity of the human psyche to heal, develop and grow. This belief, coupled with my training and experience, underpins how I work with adults one-to-one. I can help with many areas of mental health and associated physical symptoms of: anxiety disorders, depression; underlying causes of emotional pain or distress. The process of counselling or psychotherapy can be life changing and enriching.

I offer one to one therapeutic counselling to adults, young people and adolescents. My practice is based in a quiet village location just outside St. Ives, Cambridgeshire. I also offer online sessions. My aim is to walk alongside you to explore whatever it may be that is getting in the way and to help you connect to your own internal resources, to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues such as; depression, anxiety, childhood sexual abuse, stress, bullying, lack of confidence,reduced self-esteem, relationship issues, sexuality and more.

Welcome, i'm Sarah, I am an authentic warm and down to earth therapist. Perhaps you feel stuck repeating the same patterns and feel the desire for change? Perhaps your inner critic is running the show? I offer a space that is inclusive to you. I believe everyone deserves to be heard, valued and understood. I provide a reliable and consistent space free of shame and judgement. Anxiety, depression and low self esteem can negatively impact our lives in many ways. Through the relationship I offer you can better understand your past and present relationships and the unhelpful patterns impacting your life choices.

I'm passionate about freeing people suffering with anxiety, depression, weight & self esteem issues. I believe a lot of us get conditioned in our life at a very young age based on our environment and the people around us. We come up with irrational ideas of ourselves that we are not good enough or different or lack something, which causes pain within. Once you have an understanding of what your mind is trying to do for you then it becomes much easier to change a behaviour, belief or habit.

When you are overwhelmed with challenges in life, feel stuck, or deal with mental health issues, devastating loss or trauma, it is helpful to talk with someone who can guide and support you. Counselling can help you sort through the things in your life that are important to you. When you feel understood and cared for, hopelessness leaves the room. You can then grow in courage to walk your journey without being alone.

Has something happened and your world’s been turned upside down? Do you feel lost? It’s common for everyone to experience bumps in the road of life; but what happens when you just don’t know how to deal with those bumps? Perhaps you talk to family, friends or colleagues, maybe you just keep it all in, cross your fingers and hope for the best. Talking things over is known to help, especially when you are really listened to by someone who doesn’t judge you or tell you what to do, all in confidence. You might not realise it yet, but you are the expert on your own life and counselling can give you the keys to unlock that expertise.

Are you a bit worried about how you're feeling at the moment? Perhaps you feel you might be suffering with anxiety or depression, suffering in silence or feeling very overwhelmed. I offer caring, non judgemental, confidential counselling. Why not give me a call for a chat or drop me an email to see how I can help? Every person I help is different with a unique set of challenges, I tailor my therapy sessions to suit each client. Working in a ‘person centred’ way means I am warm, compassionate and empathetic and will understand. I also draw on my skills and knowledge from other areas of counselling to help you to find ways to cope.

Hi, are you finding it difficult to cope, struggling with anxiety, overwhelmed with uncomfortable feelings or thoughts?
