Counselling in SN5

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile today. Because I feel, we are so different in how we respond in our life’s situations, we can feel more hopelessness, struggling, feeling more overwhelmed with everyday life’s problems, and feeling more stuck in life. By working, listening and supporting you, when your experiencing higher levels of stress, and anxiety, you can find better ways to help you cope, and not be so overwhelmed with your negative thoughts, whilst learning to manage, cope, and communicate better for yourself, improving your relationships with people around you, who are part of and in your life.

1st for CBT is a therapy service that uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) to tackle symptoms for a range of Mental Health conditions. CBT is an evidenced and skill-based therapy which looks at understanding the links between our thoughts (cognitions), feelings (emotions) and actions (behaviours). Our aim is to help and support all individuals live the life that they would like too, without the burden of negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviours getting in the way. We are proud to specialise in adapting CBT for developmental conditions such as autism and ADHD.

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 help Individuals and Couples with many different concerns. They often want to be able to feel and cope better, to improve their relationships, their wellbeing and their lives. Perhaps you are trying to cope with a bereavement or have suffered another loss such as the breakdown of a relationship. You may feel that with support, you are ready to tackle some trauma you have suffered or you may need help with your current situation. Or maybe you just feel a little lost and need some help to get yourself back on track or you don't really know where to start and feel anxious about talking to someone about your problems. I can help.

Firstly - well done for taking the first step. I can imagine deciding whether you want to have therapy or need therapy is a big question. Perhaps you have suffered a loss, a trauma or are going through a transition of some kind and you want the space and time to work through it. Perhaps this emotional distress is impacting on your relationships, work and your home life. I imagine you’ve tried many things and for some reason those old ways of coping that have done you well in the past just aren’t working anymore and you feel like you’re struggling. I provide evidence based psychological treatment that might help.

Hello and thank you for choosing to read my profile. Sometimes life can get hard; it can perhaps feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety or stress. Perhaps you are aware of feelings of low mood or depression. You might be experiencing relationship difficulties or issues at work. Maybe you feel that you lack confidence or self-esteem. These issues can build up over time and through our work together, I can help you reflect on, explore and understand these better to help you find a way forward.

Life's path can be windy and uncertain, where and who do you turn to when there are areas you cant resolve? Counselling is the opportunity to discuss with someone without judgement or advice. Instead we will create a relationship where you will be free to make your own choices and decisions which benefit you. Have you ever wondered who you could or should be? Where you're heading or why life hasn't been how you would have liked? Let's take time and discuss what's happening for you? I am able to provide short or long term counselling to suit your individual needs.

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become” Carl Gustav Jung. My name is Tamsin. I have worked as a Counsellor for 9 years with both young people and adults. I see each client as individual and unique, each with their own set of histories, life experiences and journeys. I believe that we all ultimately hold the strength and resilience within us to shape the person we want to become and lead the life we want to.

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.

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.

I offer Counselling and Supervision. My background is in education, providing support for students from Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form/College, and University. While working with a diverse range of people, I have received specialist training for working with students and adults with Autism, ADHD, Asperger's and challenging behaviour. I have also previously worked in a Specialist Autistic (SRP) unit. I also work with adults and those that have received a late diagnosis to help accept, adjust and make sense of this impact on their lives and that of their family.

I’ve adopted an integrative approach to counselling, this enables me to work with the whole you. I strive to provide you with a friendly, confidential and reflective place, helping you to unravel your experience and understand true deep-rooted feelings in order to resolve them. Coupled with person centred ideology, the focus is on you. Mental-health holds no barrier, I hold current Enhanced DBS enabling me to work with Young People in addition to Adults.

I offer clients a service individual to whatever their needs may be. As an integrative counsellor, I offer a combined approach to counselling and psychotherapy, bringing together different elements from specific therapies. I understand that taking that initial step to phone or meet with a counsellor can be scary, however, I offer a compassionate and caring client-led talking therapy which ensures you can confidentially explore whatever issues you need to. Each client's goals are explored - ensuring there is an overall understanding of what is wanted from counselling.

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.

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.

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.

We are in some challenging times and there is opportunity for both support with 'here and now issues' and deeper exploration of being you. I am an Integrative Body Psychotherapist, Couples Psychotherapist and Trauma Recovery Specialist having been in the field for over 24 years working with adults and teenagers from many walks of life. I work in embodied relationship with life challenges and transformation, including the neurobiology of relationship, attachment, internal parts systems, transgenerational trauma recovery, birth psychology and transpersonal realms. Professional Supervision, Training and Consultancy available.
