Elders (65+) Counselling in Brecon

I am a highly experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Child & Family Psychotherapist with over twenty years experience working with Children, Adolescence (CAMHS), Families and Adult mental well being. My clinical services are based in Hastings and Brighton. I provide psychological clinical services to help with psychological distress such as anxiety, low mood, poor self-esteem, complex trauma and eating disorders. I offer a friendly, flexible and holistic approach, providing a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's or families' needs.

Mental health can manifest in different ways for different people. For many, it is hidden beneath the surface as we get on with our daily lives the best we can. Anxiety, depression, low self-worth, anger, guilt, shame are all normal feelings but if we become overwhelmed by them this is a sign that we need support. When I started counselling 19 years ago, I found that many of the people I worked with had experienced a history of trauma in their lives including childhood abuse, attachment issues, sexual violence, domestic violence and bullying. This is why I decided to focus my training and research on trauma specific strategies.

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.

Hi I’m Michelle, an insured and qualified counsellor and supervisor. I understand counselling can be overwhelming therefore we will work together to diminish any feelings of discomfort to enable you to explore the positive changes you can make. I am a person-centred integrative counsellor who tailors our time spent together to suit your needs for the most effective session. I offer the space for you to explore anything you wish to reflect on in a non-judgemental, caring and relaxed environment.

Therapy sessions are meant to be pleasant, enjoyable and interesting. Clients often find the process more helpful and beneficial than they expected. I am a fully qualified BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist, fortunate having an excellent training, and with long years of working in private practice.

I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to talk over whatever's troubling you, either as an individual (£55-£60) or as a couple (£70-£75). I am also a clinical supervisor (£60-£65). If there’s something on your mind that’s getting in the way of you leading your life the way you want to, then we can look at that together to get a good understanding of how it affects you, and the changes you might like to make. (Evening sessions 6-8pm are charged at the slightly higher rate.)

Hello and welcome to my Profile. You may be wondering is counselling for me? It may have been suggested to you that you need to get some counselling but you're unsure what it is and if it will work for me?! To begin with i always say to my clients 'for counselling to work you need to find the right counsellor for you. It's like finding your favourite chocolate bar, you may have to try a few before you find the one you like!' Are you someone who is feeling they are struggling with day to day living but not sure why, is it hard to talk about, are you confused or are you embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it even to loved ones.

I am a very warm and caring person with a wealth of experience in the health and well-being industry. For 28 years I have provided counselling support to individuals from different ethnic backgrounds and social groups struggling with an array of difficulties. I am an unbiased, great listener and you can feel comfortable sharing the most sensitive information knowing no judgement will be passed. My goal is to help empower individuals to unlock their inner potential and facilitate a new found love for life!
