If you are reading this it is likely that you are considering counselling. Seeking support when life is presenting challenges can be quite daunting and you may have some worries about sharing your feelings. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for you to be heard, where I believe the relationship between us is the key to supporting you in your journey. Perhaps experiences from your past or in the present are impacting how you live your daily life or maybe your feeling anxious, stressed or generally unhappy and would like to make some changes.

Hello and a warm welcome to you… How are you feeling right now? Perhaps a little anxious at taking your first steps to finding a counsellor. That’s completely normal. Well done for getting this far! Life can feel difficult at times but if you are struggling, you don’t have to face your worries alone. I believe that people have the ability to solve their own problems, but can sometimes feel stuck and need some help. My role is not to advise but to help you to see your own situation more clearly. We will work together to find the solutions that are right for you. Counselling could be the best gift you ever give yourself.

I am a qualified Humanistic Gestalt counsellor; I am based in Eastleigh, where I see clients at my home. I also travel across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and parts of Dorset to peoples homes. I see myself as a multi-skilled counsellor with further training in different types of counselling, including CBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and TA counselling. I create a strong therapeutic relationship and use my knowledge to tailor the sessions to meet your needs.

I have been working since 2006 with adults suffering from anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship issues, bereavement, eating disorders, and minority stress (migratory, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+). I have a particular interest in working with clients with physical or medical conditions, and learning differences alongside their families, whilst focusing on helping them live their lives to their full potential. I am totally committed to supporting the values that promote diversity in all its dimensions.

I've worked for several years as a therapist, having trained after leaving university in counselling and youth work. I have worked with children, young people and adults & can adapt my working style to the needs of each age group. I offer therapy from the age of 10. I strongly believe in the relationship between client and therapist as well as working hard to ensure that the therapy you receive is according to your needs and the way you feel comfortable working. I can offer a flexible service, offering appointments during the day and evenings. I offer both long and short term therapy.

Welcome. Counselling can make a big difference in how you feel and how you approach personal difficulties. You are only one step away from finding the help you are seeking. Together, we can decide what would be the most beneficial use of our sessions. Talking freely about what is really on your mind, even if you feel ashamed or are afraid that anyone would laugh at your struggles and diminish them can bring great relief. You do not have to cope on your own. You are not alone. Clients say about me that I am warm, authentic, and empathic. I believe that humour has its place in therapy. While it is hard work, therapy can be fun too.

Do you struggle with anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or other emotional issues? Do you sometimes find it difficult to articulate what the problem is or feel that words are just not enough to express it? It might be that Dramatherapy is right for you. Dramatherapy is a form of psychological therapy/psychotherapy in which all of the performing arts are utilised within the therapeutic relationship (BADth). It is particularly helpful when you struggle to articulate what the problem is or when words are just not enough to express it. Clients do not need to have previous experience or skills in acting, theatre or drama, it is not about performing well or being good at acting, rather it is about making use of dramatic tools to explore, address and make sense of troubling issues. I am Marta Paglioni, a Dramatherapist clinical practitioner registered with HCPC and full member of BADth (British Association of Dramatherapists). - Cover image from: <a href="http://www.freepik.com">Designed by Freepik</a>)-

We all get stuck, from time to time. Sometimes it feels like we cannot move forward. It can be frustrating, constraining and painful. Yet there is energy behind every blockage, and looking at it from above – as if from a bridge – can be the first step to unlocking our potential. This is what I aim to offer to my clients. My approach is creative, in that it adapts to individual needs, and culturally sensitive, as it draws on my experience of transit and change. I practise in English and Italian. Face to face and online.

An experienced BACP accredited counsellor working in central Winchester offering face to face counselling, specialising in mental health and addictions My approach underpinned by Gestalt therapy which can be integrated with a solution focus approach. Historic life difficulties and the presenting current climate has seen many people struggle with their mental health and turn to unhealthy and destructive ways of coping. The misuse of drugs and alcohol, gambling, over eating, sex, pornography or gaming are often used as a way of coping with difficult memories, thoughts and feelings.

Would you like to talk to someone in confidence? There are times in our lives that we hesitate to share our inner thoughts and feelings, or keep our problems and painful experiences, anxieties, or worries from our friends, loved ones, and family. In times like these, it is helpful to talk things out in confidence to someone who will listen without being judgemental or critical, but will be there to offer a tentative ear with empathic understanding, with a genuine care, warmth and respect.

It may be the time in your life when you are feeling lost and confused. When your life has control over you rather then you being in control over your life. Or you may be stuck at the 'crossroads' and not sure which direction to take. Perhaps you may be looking for deeper meaning and understanding of yourself and those around you. Counselling can help to explore things you are finding difficult, to gain more understanding, deeper meaning and the sense of liberation that may come with it.
