Counselling in SP4

I work predominantly with clients with complex PTSD, PTSd or PTS and/or neuro-diversity/ADHD/Childhood-Adolescent Developmental Trauma/Military Service or life in general. We can feel psychologically and emotionally dysregulated, unable to control our emotional response / triggers, leaving us feeling angry/anxious/depressed/overwhelmed or shutdown. By helping you to regulate your nervous system, chronic stress activation can be reduced, allowing the mind and the body to think and perceive situations and events differently, which helps us to feel safe and secure. Less reactivity, leads to improved mental health.

TalkMoves, comes from the belief that we all have the potential to grow, to move forward at a pace that is unique to us.Sometimes, however, the path that we are on becomes bumpy and rough, and we find ourselves facing challenges, loss, feelings of uncertainty or a sense of being stuck. Counselling can be a hard and challenging process, it can also be a transformative and fundamentally liberating experience. I have successfully supported individuals through a variety of concerns including relationship/family/work, anxiety, depression, addictions, loss and bereavement. I also have a background of 'Rewind Therapy' for trauma and PTSD.

We all experience struggles in our lives, and counselling offers a safe and confidential space in which we can feel fully supported and valued as we navigate through these challenges. As an Integrative Counsellor, I work with many different clients with various difficulties. I have a particular interest in working with clients struggling with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I also have experience and interest in working with clients who are coping with significant change in their lives such as loss, bereavement, relationship endings and changes in family or employment circumstances.

I am a Registered General Nurse, Mental Health Nurse, Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Accredited EMDR practitioner. I have over 20 years of experience, mainly within the Armed Forces. In this time I have managed Community Mental Health Teams, delivered therapy in remote locations overseas and now work in mental health research at Kings College London. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, social anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias and work-based stress. I have a particularly in-depth understanding of military trauma.

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 we just don’t feel resilient enough to deal with it alone. The past couple of years have been particularly challenging and some people have 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 a clients story and to know that they are comfortable laying out their inner most thoughts and fears in front of me.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years post qualified experience in the NHS. I am experienced in using psychological therapies to help individuals, couples, families and older people presenting with a wide range of mental health distress. I am interested in issues around self esteem/identity/culture, childhood neglect, trauma, difficult relationships, mood problems and managing long term health conditions. I also work with adults with ASD/ADHD. In addition to working with distress I offer ‘life reflection’ sessions for individuals who just need a space to ‘pause’ and think about their wellbeing, and for self development.

I am a compassionate, warm, and friendly person with a personal desire to help others find their way through demanding situations, such as stress, depression, or grief. I am here to help you achieve your goals and facilitate you in finding a positive outlook on life. I work relationally and collaboratively with my clients, providing a safe and secure environment to explore your issues. I am non-judgmental and work closely with people from differing social backgrounds, to help them on their journey toward new beginnings. My work is not directive; the purpose is to enable you to take control of your life with a clearer perspective.

Hello, my name is Jackie, and I am here to offer counselling/psychotherapy for you to fully explore whatever is troubling you, and preventing you from leading a fulfilling life. I draw upon different theories and skills to suit your therapeutic needs. Therapy offers you a safe, confidential place to allow you talk to someone who is trained to listen attentively to your problems; whether they originate from your past, or from what is going on for you currently; to give you the opportunity to gain personal growth, so that positive changes in your life can happen for the future.

As a Hypno-Psychotherapeutic practitioner, I understand that the thought of finding help can be daunting. It may be that you have a name for your problem, or maybe you just know that something needs to change. My aim is to make our next steps together as positive and stress-free as they can be.  At Assisi Therapy, I have created a peaceful and private environment for us to focus on your issue without  interference from the outside world.  Whether we are working face to face or online, I will always offer you a safe, therapeutic space full of understanding and free from judgement.

My work is with children, young people and young adults who are finding it difficult to manage difficulties relating to mood, anxiety, educational challenges, exam anxiety, transitions between school and university, and both expected and unexpected life changes. In addition to this, I have specialist skills and experience in working with children, young people and adults on the autism spectrum (some of whom may also have associated learning disabilities). I also have significant experience working with looked after children, both within fostering and residential care settings.

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.

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.
