Counselling in SN2

Hi, my name is Jen and I am a fully trained integrative counsellor based in Swindon, Wiltshire. I work with adults over 18, covering a range of issues and common life problems. You may know exactly what your issue is, or you may need a few sessions to get to the heart of it, either way is fine with me – there is no right way to do therapy! I offer a warm and friendly space for you to explore your issues, worries and concerns. Considering counselling can be a daunting process, so please feel free to visit my website www.swindoncounselling.co.uk to learn more about me and my approach, what counselling entails and how it may help you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed not sure about your sense of self or direction? You might feel emotional and uncertain about a situation or person. It may be that you feel lost, have low self esteem or depressed and are struggling to understand how or why you feel this way. You may be experiencing distress, anxiety and emotion about a situation or managing a crisis or life changing event. Talking about these situations might seem daunting, however reaching out to talk could be what it takes to stop suppressing these concerns, which can help your well-being.

Counselling can help you to work through thoughts, feelings and/or behaviours that concern you. I am non judgemental, open and accepting of you as a person and will work with you to help you to improve your future. I am a fully qualified psychotherapist/counsellor with many years experience. As an integrative counsellor I draw from various theoretical approaches which enables me to adapt the therapy to fit each individual and their specific needs. My hours of work are Monday,Tuesday from 12 until 9pm and Friday afternoons, for Face to Face. Thursdays 12-9 and Friday mornings on Zoom(can be flexible).

I have experience in counsel adults in a clinical setting who are feeling distressed, where mental health issues arise when a difficult circumstance of their lives happens. I have experience in working with clients who recovering from alcohol and substances addictions.

Feeling challenged by life? Relationships, families, work, school or health affect us; knock our self-esteem, leaving us feeling stressed, anxious or low. It may be a past event or something more recent that is affecting you. Maybe you feel as though no-one is listening. Often it helps to talk things through with someone outside the situation. Counselling is an opportunity to get to know yourself better, and with gentle, non-judgemental curiosity, think about any changes you might like to make and find ways to navigate through the challenges you face. If you feel I can help you through this process, please contact me.

Seeking counselling and having the space to talk and focus on you, can help when life throws you difficult situations, feelings and events. Having the space to talk about whatever you choose to without judgement can be liberating. As a Person-Centred Counsellor I will work alongside you, supporting you in any decisions you choose to make. My aim is to build a professional, trusting relationship with you where you feel safe to share any issues you choose to bring to your sessions.

I am an open minded, warm hearted individual that offers a confidential, friendly, therapeutic space with a warm welcome. I fully understanding how difficult it may be for clients to take their first steps into counselling. I work with the client through their feelings, past traumas or painful experiences. It's important for an indivifual to feel really listened too, accepted and understood.

Life can often be seen that we put the needs of others' before our own, therefore neglecting ourselves and experiencing difficult environments and emotions. I offer time for 'you' to explore your own needs and provide this by short or long term therapy, based on your emotional needs. As an integrative therapist, I invite clients to experience different ways of exploring personal experiences and create positive change to the challenges that are faced. The therapy I offer is a process that helps you restore your natural sense of harmony and balance.

Our mental health is so important. All too quickly we can feel swept away by life’s demands, by the experiences or decisions that can feel thrust upon us and by the needs and wants of others. Life can be exhausting and hard to navigate, often finding the way forward feels difficult to identify. This is where counselling comes in. As a fully qualified & experienced relational therapist, my role will be one of support, curiosity and gentle guidance.

I am an experienced counsellor working with adults and young people aged 16 upwards. I support clients who present with a variety of issues and concerns. Some of these include anxiety and depression, self-esteem, work stress, bereavement and problems with family relationships or difficult life events. I work with each individual client in the best way for them, using a variety of counselling techniques to support them in their journey, well as looking at ways forward and any goals they may want to achieve.

I have a vast range of experience in working with clients with varying presenting issues. I am empathic and caring and will support you in your journey. I was drawn to counselling from my own life experiences. One of the most important things I feel I can offer to you as a client is empathy. Previously I have volunteered with a grief charity as part of my journey to being the fully qualified counsellor I am now. This journey has taken me 8 years of academic study and volunteering in a variety of counselling agencies. I feel I am still on my own personal journey, which will never end in terms of learning.

This is an extremely troubling time, I am experienced in working online. I work with Individuals and couples with anxiety, depression and finding ways of coping. Talking about sex, sexuality and relationships can be extremely difficult. Our own feelings of shame can keep us feeling trapped and feel that there is nowhere to go. I offer a non judgemental space to be able to talk sensitively working to resolve issues. We will agree the focus of the work from the outset and keep this in mind throughout the journey together. We will work together to facilitate change in the areas you feel are needed.

Hi from me, Carrie, and a thanks for considering counselling with me. How many counsellors profiles have you read this week/month? It’s a big step to reach out for help so finding the ‘one’ is important! I deal with all sorts of issues and clients. Are you worried you might not be ‘unwell’ enough for counselling? That your issues aren’t as bad as someone else’s? Just feeling out of sorts and not sure why? Or are there life challenges to be worked through but not sure where to start? I offer you the time and space to work through whatever is troubling you and we do that at your pace.

Are you wanting your voice to be truly heard? Do you need someone to really listen to how you are feeling, and not be told how you should or should not feel? Or perhaps you would like someone to give you time and space to just be who you need to be, during what might be a difficult time for you right now. I understand how challenging it can be to share your thoughts and feelings with a complete stranger, to share something that you may feel you are going to be judged on, or perhaps no-one will understand. I also offer supervison for practicing counsellors and have a passion working with students.

Are your thoughts, feelings or circumstances distressing you? Are they affecting your relationships, sleep or ability to function and enjoy everyday life? Life can often be unpredictable and challenging. Sadness, fatigue and a sense of something missing can be draining and overwhelming. How can counselling help? Counselling offers a safe space to share your thoughts, feelings and circumstances. I listen deeply and you will feel heard. We can explore what you want to achieve from having counselling. Working out together how you can find balance and happiness. I work with your goals and what you want to achieve in your sessions.

Hurting? Unhappy? Confused? Need to talk to someone you can trust? I am a professionally trained and qualified counsellor. I offer a safe place where you can be truly heard - not judged or told what to do - and I work in whatever way is best for you and most appropriate to the circumstances that you are dealing with. Whatever you are facing - you don't have to do it alone. Together - we can find your way forward. I have 25 years experience in counselling & psychology and have worked in the UK and NZ. I work with adults and teenagers. I also offer supervision for practicing counsellors and enjoy working with counselling students.

I have over 20 years experience. I am aware how important it is to find someone you can share with and work towards a better future. I offer you short/medium or longer term (up to one year) to raise your self awareness and understanding about your situation and work in a non judgemental way towards finding a better way forward or coming to terms with something that may have happened. We all have traumas in our lives and this can leave us feeling really dysregulated, anxious and struggling to cope. I offer you a tailored approach to counselling and draw on my experience and training to offer you a safe setting to explore YOU.

Hello and welcome. We all have times when we need some emotional support. You may be feeling sad, anxious, low, or confused or finding it hard to organise your thoughts. You may feel that you may be judged if you talk about what you are thinking and feeling. It may seem as though you are all alone with overwhelming worries, unable to focus on anything or anyone else, or that things just don't feel the same for you any more.
