Counselling in SK7

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited counsellor who has 15years experience in counselling children and young people who are experiencing stress, anxiety, sadness, low mood, anger and other difficult emotions. I provide a safe space in which the young person can explore their feelings surrounding an issue and become better able to understand and express those feelings. For younger children this could also include creative drawing, completing bereavement booklets, making memory boxes, as well as talking through feelings and exploring ways to cope when difficult feelings arise.

Hello My name is Miftau Iddrisu. I am an accredited CBT therapist. I am also a qualified DBT, RO-DBT,EMDR, schema therapist. I also provide hypnotherapy. I work with both young people and adults. I provide Skype treatments and I have experience offering treatment in outside United Kingdom.

Struggling to cope with life? Living throws up difficulties for all of us and we can feel very alone when confronted with these. Stress, anxiety, grief or depression can throw us off track. If you are feeling unhappy, anxious or lost, I can help you work through your concerns and emotions to a place where you can feel peace and pleasure again. As an accredited counsellor with training in providing online and face-to-face therapy, I have lots of experience of helping people identify the blocks that are holding them back so that they can move forward to achieve their potential and make stronger, more satisfying relationships.

We all experience losses in life – not just when someone dies but when we lose anything that is important to us: our relationships, our dreams of having a family, our health, our home, our job, our independence, our pets, and our hopes or expectations. Often, we are able to grieve for those losses and adjust but sometimes we are left feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, guilty, ashamed, withdrawn, or numb for many months or even years later. Adjusting to losses in life is not about ‘getting over’ them but about finding ways to live a life that includes them.

With so many demands on your time, it’s easy to find yourself at the bottom of your priority list. There’s always something or someone that needs your attention, so the idea of self-care may seem like an indulgence that you just don’t have time for.  I find that life has a way of making us stop and listen, whether that be through a physical or mental health concern, family or relationship difficulty, problems at work or a major life event. I'm here to help you through these challenges. In our sessions, I will help you to explore what’s going on emotionally so that you can find out what’s lying underneath any uncomfortable feelings.

It can feel like a big step to reach out when you feel you need support. Counselling is a personal, and can be, a life changing experience. I offer Humanistic counselling that is driven by you. We focus on your experiences and your goals and, whether you choose long term or short term therapy, I always ensure the core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard are at the heart of our work together. My role is to support your navigation of those experiences to support your own wellbeing. As an integrative Humanistic counsellor, you will find that this type of therapy is adaptive to you.

I work with people from all walks and with many issues but all feel a need to change something in their lives. I can create a safe space to explore and understand the problems you bring, both individually or together with partners. I have helped many clients deal with the issues arising from depression, self doubt, anxiety and trauma, or changing notions of self worth, especially in the face of work stress.

We all face Challenges and internal conflicts at some point in our lives; there are three solutions to every problem; Accept it, change it or leave it. If you are reading this profile you are probably on the road of wanting change, you don't have to struggle in silence and the time for change is now. The most important ingredient of change is the acknowledgment of the situation.Sometimes it can be very hard to explain what is going on in your head or your heart when you don't even understand it yourself , this is where speaking to someone with decades of experience makes a difference.

I specialise in empowering woman and helping them bring what they want into their lives. I can help you work on low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and much more. Having therapy is all about making positive change. Henry Ford once said “If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got”. It’s very easy to fall into the trap of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. My priority is to guide you in changing your mindset, your perspective and your quality of life.
