Counselling in UB3

Whatever may be troubling you, I can help. Our lives are impacted by our history, culture, social circumstances, friendships and a whole host of other factors. These aspects condition us to respond and interact with people and situations in our lives in very particular ways. My work with you would be to understand your life from your unique perspective and help you get in touch with a more resourced part of yourself, which is beyond the psychological and social conditioning, to help you overcome any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.

Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to explore the origins and roots of the difficulties you are experiencing in life today. We will work together to understand and untangle your feelings and behaviours, discovering a better understanding of the lifestyle choices you are making. This process will help you review your way of living, and the choices you are making. You will then have the opportunity to lead a more true and authentic life.

Hi, my name is Ania Jorgenson and I look forward to meeting you. I create a safe, non-judgmental, and accepting space where you can freely explore and work through any difficult feelings and emotions. Whether you are new to counselling or wish to continue with ongoing therapy, we will start by identifying your individual needs and agree on an approach that best supports you. Together we will explore your current situation, where you want to be, and what is holding you back.

It takes courage to admit that you need help with a personal problem. You may be consumed with thoughts that paralyse your ability to engage in everyday life. You may awake every morning with feelings of anxiety, fear, shame, or guilt, or even frustration with being unable to change the cycle of overthinking. Perhaps you have retreated, feel isolated or stuck because you are unable to share your problems with others, nor the energy to prioritise quiet time for self-reflection. I am here to offer you a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore your needs.

My aim is to offer you a safe space to explore whatever may be troubling you in confidence. Whether you are facing relationship issues, work problems, low self esteem, stress, anxiety or just feeling unhappy, my role is to neither judge or give advice but to enable you to draw on your inner resources to feel empowered and in control of your lives. In order for therapy to take place, you must feel able to talk openly to the therapist and have a sense of a good enough connection with him or her. That's why, more than my skills and qualification, I trust my ability to reach out to you in distress and begin therapy.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Through the therapeutic relationship I aim to create a safe space to understand your thoughts and feelings, strengthening your ability to make decisions and gain autonomy in life. I work in partnership with my clients and I believe a relationship of mutual respect and trust is of paramount importance. I have experience in working with clients suffering with anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, stress, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement and issues with self-esteem. I am interested in working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and gender identities.

I am a Psychologist trained in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), Cognitive processing therapy (CPT), STAIRS with a background of working with children, youth, and women. As a Muslim woman I believe on an empathetic and non-judgemental attitude is the key where a client can explore his/her inner world for making a positive change. I am flexible in my approach to work with my clients with a positive attitude. Small goals can lead to bigger goals. I help my clients setting up the right goals for themselves. change can begin from inside as well as outside. I work with my clients to make them aware of their potential and strengths
