Counselling in Ogmore Vale

Emotional well being is something we can often take for granted, and more often than not we do not take time to attend to our emotional well being until we begin to struggle to maintain a balance. You may just need some space to reflect safely and without judgement. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the pressures of life, stuck in a rut, repeating negative patterns, or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression. Maybe you just don’t feel able to share your worries and concerns with those around you? Maybe you just don’t feel like ‘you’ and would like to explore why, or you have feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

Are you experiencing difficulties that are affecting your life? Grief, a burn out, illness, stress, anxiety or overwhelm? Struggling in your life and can't understand why? Do you want to understand what is going on and why you feel the way you do and make changes? People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it is a build up of events. At times it's hard to pinpoint what's going on or where it all started. There may be longstanding issues you finally feel ready to face and get support to deal with.

I am a person centred counsellor. I create a place for you to express how you are feeling about life, challenges you are facing and will work with you as you implement positive changes in your life.

Hi there, I'm Nicola and a very warm welcome to my page here at Psychology Today. You have taken the first step in moving forwards towards a more full filling life. Within our counselling relationship your issues, whatever they may be, can be discussed, acknowledged, accepted and addressed. Whether these are the bigger life transitions such as bereavement or relationship breakdown, or everyday frustrations such as breaking free of habits that no longer serve you.

I offer a safe space for you to talk and explore anything that you need to work through to help you in life. Counselling/Psychotherapy is a safe space for you to talk about anything you want without being judged to help you cope better with life. We can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions to enable you to find solutions that suit you as a unique individual. If you are feeling anxious, depressed having relationship issues, bereavement or going through any other life problems, talking helps. I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP with a long history of working in helping professions where I had var

Our relationships are fundamental to our lives, whether that’s with our family, friends or colleagues. They can bring us comfort and also anguish. I believe in three things: 1 - That our relationships can be key to a leading a fulfilling life. 2 - That where we come from informs who we are, but does not necessarily determine where we end up. 3 - That we each need to express who we are without fear of judgement. I will work with you, using the counselling relationship to mirror important relationships in your life, so that we can more easily see patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you.

Hello, I am Dr. Kate Rhodes, a Clinical Psychologist offering online video therapy to adults & young people across the UK.

I have vast experience in health psychology including chronic illness, sexual health, weight management & disordered eating, pain management, obstetrics & gynaecology, palliative & bereavement, healthy living & behaviour change.

I am an integrative counsellor with 16 years experience. I combine extensive knowledge from different theories and approaches to tailor the client experience to their needs. I work with the client to identify the issues they would like to work on and the timescale in which they would like to do this, whether it be short term or longer work. I work with all ages and an extensive list of issues, some common issues I work with are Autism and ADHD symptoms, anxiety, depression, self harm, suicide, stress, family issues, LGBTQ+ issues and Children and young people. Please contact me for a consultation to see if suitable.

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.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor offering a confidential and affordable counselling service to individuals, who does not offer advice or tell you what to do but enables a time and space for you to gather your thoughts and gain a greater insight/awareness of yourself leading to change or acceptance of your situation.

Are you feeling uncertain and fearful about the future? Do you feel stuck? Anxious?Angry? Hopeless? Depressed? Are you unable to sleep at night? Are you coping in ways that are harming you, your mind, your body, your family, your future or your finances? These coping methods can often be driven by negative emotions and toxic thinking patterns.I listen without judgement, in complete confidence and safety. I use an integrative, person centred approach, utilising wisdom from a number of schools of psychotherapy and counselling, including transactional analysis,brief solution focused, psychodynamic and behavioural ideas including DBT.

You may be seeking counselling for a specific issue such as: stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or feeling sad and these are all good reasons for seeking support. Alternatively your reason might be more difficult to put into words, not everyone has an identifiable reason for seeking support. Whatever your reason for counselling, I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space where your experiences, thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.

The overall aim of Counselling and Therapy is to provide an opportunity for you to work towards living by where experiences are more satisfying. The process of Counselling becomes itself one of life's new situations: It offers an opportunity to experience life differently and to extend the range of ways in which you can operate in the world with greater satisfaction. "EVERY JOURNEY STARTS WITH ONE SMALL STEP"!!!!

Often in life we get stuck in patterns which, though once useful ways of being and relating, have now outgrown their usefulness to us, perhaps beginning to get in our way even. Psychotherapy can offer both the space to express, grasp and understand these patterns and then the support and challenge to grow in ways which seem right for you. I am currently seeing clients in person or online. I draw on a range of sources to bring my curiosity to meet you as a whole person. I am interested in your thoughts, feelings, your actions and what may be going on in your body as well as what may emerge in the here and now of our relationship.

Hello, my name is David and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. The fact that you’re considering seeing a counsellor means that you’re unhappy with a part of your life, whether it be an unfulfilling relationship, an uncertainty about career or lifestyle choices, or thoughts and behaviours that inhibit your ability to lead the life that you once dared to imagine. The pandemic has also forced people to look again at their life and reappraise what they really want from it.
