Transactional Analysis Counselling in Newport

Hi my name is Lindsey, I am an accredited Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have been in practice since 2012. I work with adults experiencing a range of issues including generalised anxiety, assertiveness issues,panic attacks, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, loss and bereavement. I offer a FREE 10 minute phone consultation. If you decide to have counselling with me, we will establish what you wish to achieve from counselling and we will work together in sessions to set a direction in moving forward towards your goal.

I'm Natalie, a qualified, pluralistic psychotherapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Together, we'll collaborate to identify your unique therapy needs and tailor an approach that suits you. Because each client is unique, I believe in providing personalised care that goes beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Your well-being is my top priority.​ As a member of the BACP, I adhere to the highest ethical standards outlined in the BACP Code of the Ethical Framework. I work with your best interests in mind, providing you with a professional and ethical therapeutic experience.

My aim for setting up a therapy practice was to provide help to those who are struggling with life's challenges. Do you feel as though something in your life isn't right? Maybe you've found yourself at a crossroads, unsure of where to go next. You might want support with reaching a decision, or facing your past. You might be looking to address relational/behavioural patterns, or want someone to help you cope through a crisis. It might be none of those things.It could be difficult to explain, and others don't seem to understand:- all you know is that you don't want to feel like it anymore, and you want things to be different.

If you are on this page, you are considering counselling. Seeking counselling and potentially talking to a stranger about your emotions can be incredibly intimidating/daunting but this is a sign that you feel there is a need for change. Through counselling, we can explore what is important to you, at your own pace and work towards enrichment.

Depression, anxiety, abuse, low self-esteem, relationships, addiction, stress, and more. As a Integrative Counsellor with a psychology and wellbeing background I have a wide perspective on health and wellbeing and value diversity and you as an individual. I will work to understand your unique way of experiencing the world and adapt to the different types of issues you bring to counselling using different approaches. I work face to face and also online and offer short and long term therapy. I provide an environment which is supportive, valuing, safe and confidential for you to talk about what you are finding difficult.

Although older than many, I bring decades of life experience to my counselling. I have experienced most 'rites of passage' and find that my experience enables me to work sympathetically and non-judgmentally with my clients: there's nothing you can tell me that will shock me! We will work together in a welcoming, confidential environment to enable you to better understand your experiences, needs and the options open to you. With my support, you will be able to share your difficulties, worries and fears, developing a greater understanding of yourself, your situation and those long-standing difficulties that you struggle with.

I believe that counselling in a warm , empathic therapeutic relationship can facilitate a deeper understanding of the problems and difficulties you are experiencing. I see my role as one of creating a safe, empathic and non judgemental space where we can explore what has been troubling you and together develop some new awareness and coping strategies to enable you to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life in the present.

As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, I can support you with a number of worries and events that may be past or present in your life, maybe you have concerns about what will happen in the future? I use a variety of different techniques to support you and am able to adapt my approach to suit your needs. I have 17 years of experience working for the NHS and in more recent years have worked for MIND mental health charity and Cardiff Metropolitan University.

Online counselling offers you a comfy, familiar space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I completely understand how difficult it can be to begin the process of counselling but be assured it will be an opportunity for positive change.. Therapeutic relationships can take time, I am committed to providing the space for it to evolve organically. I have over 15 years working in education and acknowledge the huge pressures faced by educators alongside the pressure to achieve young people navigate daily. Alongside counselling I also have qualifications in relaxation and mindfulness allowing an opportunity to feel deep relaxation.

I view seeing a psychologist for ones’ mental well being in the same way as having a personal trainer for physical fitness. It makes good health sense. How many sessions and how often depends on the issue and what works best for you. If you have difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, complex trauma, PTSD, OCD, stress or just want to learn more about yourself, I’m here to help. As a psychologist, I’m able to help increase our understanding of ourselves and how any issues have come about and developed in the first place. This understanding can offer much relief in itself but also help to guide the treatment.

My ideal client is someone who has decided that they need help with their particular issues. They have been struggling with these for some time and now have decided that they are prepared to engage with me and overcome or come to terms with their issues.

Whatever it is that is causing you emotional pain, I will journey with you as we gently explore it to find a way forward that is right for you.
