Sexual Abuse Counselling in Milton Keynes

Life is not always easy and sometimes, when you are going through difficult times you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel or see your way through. Having someone to talk to who is not part of your family or friendship group, somewhere you can say exactly what you are really thinking or what you are afraid of, where you can take the mask off that you wear every day. It can be your place of calm in what may feel like a very chaotic world.... just to be....and be yourself.

As a therapist, I work with clients to help them deal with issues such as depression, anxiety and invasive thoughts. I believe that society is quick to label people and say “whats wrong with you?” whereas, I believe we should be asking “What happened to you?” My clients have included survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, sexual assault and those recovering from traumatic-based experiences that have affected their current quality of life. I offer bereavement counselling to help people navigate their pain and find their own way to make sense of their loss. I recognise that, as each person is unique, so is their grieving process.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, maybe you have experienced trauma or have issues with relationships or family. Perhaps you're struggling with low self-esteem and wondering about who you are and how you fit in. You might just feel at a loss and need someone to listen. ​ I can offer you a calm, empathic, confidential space to voice and understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Are you feeling sad, lost or fearful? Are you dealing with relationship issues, a traumatic event or might not know why you feel unhappy, and need help to move forward in a safe space? You may want to explore and work on yourself, in a non-judgmental environment, or want to talk about difficult issues with someone you feel comfortable talking to. Some years ago, I went on my own journey through therapy, which helped me to understand the process of counselling, and value of being in a safe space with someone who showed me genuineness, acceptance, and empathy, which is what I aim to provide for my clients.

It's OK not to be OK! Many of us experience low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss and are victims of trauma, sexual abuse and more. These experiences can have an huge impact on our daily lives. We are living through pressing times but remember, your mental health is important. It is really difficult to talk about you feel and what you have experienced in life. I am able to adapt and tailor sessions to your individual needs. Please reach out.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, we will explore together the best therapeutic approach for you. I aim to put you in the driving seat by deciding which strategies might resonate with you and support you recovering, growing and thriving. I would be honoured to share each step of your journey, supporting you as you recover from adversity, heal from pain, and move forward with aspirations and hope for the future.

Hello and welcome to a little about me in your search to find the right counsellor. I am a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist working with both adults and young people (12+) in Central Milton Keynes. You may be here for one reason or several, but what ever brings you I will provide a space that is accepting, warm and open for you to decide how much you want to share and when. The counselling path needs to be one that is done at your pace, in a way that is comfortable for you. I can use a number of different tools to help you work through difficulties such as anxiety, depression, self esteem difficulties, loss and trauma.

Regarding any work you bring to the session, I would like to work with you in a co-productive manner in order to address issues as we understand them. I begin with offering phone consultation (15 mins- free) followed by assessment sessions which help to identify what could be areas of concern, and create a psycholgical formulation in co-production with you (which can be modified as we progress through our journey). From there we move ahead with a plan that addresses what you're looking to achieve, be that time limited (and specific) or open ended (and exploratory).

Sometimes life throws up challenges that can feel overwhelming. It can affect our self esteem, our sense of identity and our ability to cope with the pressures of everyday life. I work with a wide range of issues which include depression, anxiety, low mood, low self esteem, relationship challenges, school related stress, sexual assault and abuse. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns. I will work at a pace that suits you, and together we can explore any difficulties you may be experiencing, working towards a positive and meaningful change.

Hello, I work with a range of issues, including anxiety and depression. Being heard and accepted for being who you truly are, can feel incredibly empowering. When this is taken away, our thoughts can trigger unhelpful behaviours, increasing low mood. Which in turn can play havoc with our emotions. When we feel lonely and isolated, overwhelming feelings can flood our thoughts and fears. I can offer you a safe, warm, and confidential space to explore any issues that may contribute towards your anxiety and depression. I am here to listen to you in an non-judgemental way, and to support you with any changes you wish to make.

Is there something in your life that is causing you distress, things that you are unhappy with or changes that you would like to make? Ever feel that you are overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, unsure which path to take? Would you like a space in which you can off load, process and decide which way might be best for you? We can all feel lost from time to time, it is okay to be you, and it is ok to need some support. Your feelings are valid and your thoughts are important. If you feel ready to take the first step, reach out and together we can decide how best to move forward. I offer long term work or short term work.

We can sometimes forget to look after ourselves and our own needs as we are busy caring for others. Time spent with a counsellor can allow you the space to talk about and explore any issues or difficulties you may be experiencing. My decision to become a counsellor was based upon a desire to be of help to others and make a difference during distressing times. I feel with my experience and understanding I am well placed to offer support. I truly believe that good mental health and mental wellbeing is essential for all of us.

Everyone faces difficult situations and painful experiences. As a person-centred counsellor, I offer you the space and time to explore whatever feels important, in a non-judgemental and safe setting. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change, and heal, given the right conditions. Through counselling, I hope to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. It's important to me to offer authentic warmth and care to clients, and listen with empathy and understanding. Together we can explore ideas and options, helping you to imagine a new way forward.
