Counselling in SP10

Starting therapy is a brave and sometimes difficult decision. Our aim at SOS Therapies is to build a trusting relationship where we can work together collaboratively. If you are struggling SOS seeks to help you feel comfortable and safe to explore your feelings and experiences so that a way forward can be found.

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I am an experienced , registered counsellor. I work with clients experiencing a range of difficulties from anxiety to addiction, from depression to trauma. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and we lose sight of ourselves. Sometimes our past catches up with us and we find ourselves stuck in unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Reaching out can be the hardest part but taking that first step can open up a whole new world and enable you to live your best life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Firstly People need to feel valued, people need to feel accepted and they certainly need to feel heard. Based in central Andover, I specialise in anxiety, trauma, neurodiversity, bereavement, intrusive thoughts and work very well with people from the LGBTQ+ community. I offer a non-judgemental approach using Gestalt and Humanistic theory. What this means is that we work creatively with what is happening for you right now. Creative work can unlock things from the past in a safe contained way. Online counselling is now available.

Making the first step towards counselling can feel overwhelming ....which counsellor to choose and how to make this choice can become a stumbling block.With this in mind I aim to keep it brief, in my experience one size does not fit all and I am passionate about creating a tailored counselling experience to meet my clients needs. I am trained in Transactional Analysis which looks at how we communicate with others and within ourselves, making the link between how our past experiences can impact our present.I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation so you can get a feel for how my approach may provide the support your searching for.

I like to think that my therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. So don't worry if you haven't done therapy before and feel a bit unsure about how things work. Just think of it as a safe space to talk and explore what ever you need to in the moment. I offer tools and strategies to help with a number of different issues. I am also mindful that not one size fits all and will always strive to help you find the right fit for you. I work at a GP surgery, school, and in private practise. I work with Time to Talk Youth Counselling Charity and The Fire Fighters Charity.

I work with people who are struggling to manage their anxiety whether that be because of a phobia, social anxiety or generalised anxiety disorder. Clients come to me because they want practical skills for managing the symptoms of anxiety. My clients learn how to manage anxiety on a daily basis and go on to overcome phobias, give presentations or achieve the things they want to do.

I offer a safe, confidential setting where you can talk. I will always strive to make sure that the things we talk about & the pace of our conversations are acceptable to you, & that you have active control over this. I have worked with people in distress or seeking change for almost twenty years. In my view, one of the absolute foundations to doing this well is listening without judgement & then bringing warmth, gentleness & curiosity to the conversations that follow. If you are lonely, isolated or ashamed, I will safely & reliably offer you connection, care, & acceptance, as we work towards your goals.

To be seen and heard is so powerful. Are you feeling invisible? Being human isn’t easy, our worlds can be affected in so many ways and sometimes you just don’t feel resilient enough to deal with it alone. The past couple of years have been particularly challenging. Have you been left with feelings and difficulties they’ve not experienced before. I have been a therapist since 2014 and after all these years my motivation is still as strong as the day I started. It’s an honour and a privilege to hear your story. My work is help untangle those inner emotions to understand why you are feeling the way you are right now.

I am experienced in working with adults and young people (16+) surrounding a range of issues including depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexuality, body image issues, low self esteem and confidence. I have professional and personal experience with neurodiversity and offer a flexible approach to my way of working. I have experience of working with postnatal patents as a breastfeeding peer supporter, including supporting parents through a range of post-natal concerns. I offer an open minded, judgement free, inclusive approach to counselling and aim to give you a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, dreams and ideas.

Life can be overwhelming at times, and these days we don’t take a breath to sort out what’s going on before we're facing the next battle. We end up dissatisfied, anxious, low, not sure what’s going on or where to go next and what to do. Stuck in jobs, relationships and feeling like our emotions are getting to much and too big. Sometimes we’ve picked up unhelpful behaviours and habits along the way that are causing us to worry.

If you are stuck in some challenging situations, feeling tired, frustrated or overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, I would like to offer you the appropriate resources and support. Even people with supportive family or friends may find it difficult to discuss personal issues with those close to them. Counselling provides a setting that is impartial, safe and confidential. It can help to bring insight into your difficulties thus helping you to deal with them and move on to enjoy the life.

Hello, my name is Naomi. I am a professionally qualified counsellor and member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to approach any concerns that you may have and wish to address. I feel that counselling should be accessible for everyone. I am here to support you in gaining awareness of what may be behind your difficulties, exploring your needs and potential goals. It may be that you are unsure of your exact reasons for seeking counselling and this is perfectly normal. Together we can unravel and work towards what it is you may like to be different.

If you are struggling at the moment please do get in touch as I would love to help. I have significant experience providing direct therapy for many different concerns including anxiety/panic, depression and eating disorders. I have many years experience working with individuals and families where there are behavioural concerns. I also have additional training in neurological conditions and traumatic brain injury. I aim to work with individuals to build a life that is meaningful to them inspite of all the challenges that life can bring. I help clients to work towards their own personal goals for therapy and beyond!!!

Offering therapy for both adults and young people who may be struggling with any mental health struggle, and are looking for a therapist able to deliver both person-centred and evidence-based therapy simultaneously. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist offering one to one therapy using a formulation (understanding ) driven approach. Therapy can initially seem like a daunting prospect; however, I strongly believe that it also represents a brave and positive step taken toward personal growth. I will help guide you, at your pace, through to allow you to feel safe, respected and validated.

Are you a busy professional or parent who has been living with a mental health issue such as anxiety, depression or low self esteem and has decided it’s time to make a life change? A young adult who is struggling with esteem or social media addiction and is self harming? Have you suffered a trauma and has been living with the consequences, maybe for too long, and want help to get your life back? If you are at the point where you don’t want to carry on with this issue affecting your life as it does, please make contact and get professional and trusted help to make the change.

Together we work out what needs to change so you can feel happier in your life, in your relationships and in yourself. We find the tools you need to deal with what's happening now and the space to explore your past and what you want for your future. When we don't change what feels wrong or ignore what we think we can't look at or change, it leaks out as depression, anxiety, low self esteem or even as anger or shutting down and not communicating. Medicating with drink or drugs, harming ourselves by eating too much or too little are things we use to cope, but they hurt us and those around us. We can change but sometimes we need help.

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a place where we 'can't see the wood for the trees'. We feel as if we have little or no control over ours or others behaviour. That the direction your life is taking, is going the wrong way. Accompanying this here can often be a sense of loss or injustice, of not being able to imagine a better future. With up to date psychological understanding there is a better future. Building on your own knowledge and resources we can identify your personal goals and what you want out of your appointments. This tailored approach will work with you to resolve your barriers to achieving success.

Beginning therapy is a brave and sometimes difficult decision. My approach is to build a trusting relationship where we can work in collaboration with one another. If you're struggling, the most important thing I hope you to feel in my practice is safe, safe to explore your feelings and experiences so that together we can help establish a way forward.
