Female Counselling in Bewdley, ENG

We have experience in finding suitable therapy to help those struggling with Autism and ADHD-related difficulties. With focused therapy, we aim to support and help you develop strategies to alleviate anxiety, manage challenging behaviour and promote positive wellbeing. Therapy is available for children, teens, adults and families. Screening and diagnosis are also available.

Sometimes, things happen that can be too hard to manage by yourself. Are you feeling stressed, anxious, scared or alone? Are your relationships going wrong? Has something bad happened to you? Do you need to make a decision but you're not sure where to turn? Has someone you know died and it's affecting you more than you think it should? Would it help to talk to someone who's outside of the situation?

Hello, I'm an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist offering private therapy to individuals and couples over the age of 18. Therapy is an opportunity for you to have the time and a safe, confidential space to explore your life, yourself and any issues you feel are causing you concern or distress. I can help you with a wide range of issues such as: bereavement, anxiety, depression, panic, pain & chronic health conditions, stress, family & relationship issues, addictions, phobias and many more. I have a special interest in mindfulness and specialise in working with people who have chronic health conditions.

With many years’ experience working as a trauma informed counsellor and advocate, I have specialised in supporting survivors of sexual abuse. I work with adults, young people and couples in Kinver, Stourbridge, and the surrounding area . My approach can be tailored to meet your individual needs, empowering you along your healing journey and validating your feelings without judgement.

I believe that, to get past your difficult feelings, you need to work through them. Are you struggling with trauma, low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship problems or family issues? At the core of my counselling practice is the belief that, although it may not feel like it right now, you are the expert on you. We’ll work together to unpack your emotions, taking a good look at what is going on for you to really understand your specific and unique situation.

Counselling will mean different things to different people, and no two people will have the exact same needs or experience of counselling. For some, they may just need the time and space to be listened to without judgement, the process of just saying what is on their mind to someone independent can be therapeutic in itself. For others they may struggle to find the words to express themselves and so a counsellor might support them to express themselves more creatively perhaps through art or imagery. Some people are able to identify areas of their life that they need help with specifically and for others it is to be discovered.

I’m an integrative counsellor, which means that I am trained in different therapeutic approaches that I combine to support you to achieve your goals. For example, we might use Gestalt therapy to explore your present difficulties, or Psychodynamic therapy to explore how your past is affecting you in the present. We may also incorporate CBT to uncover practical ways to manage challenges that you're currently facing. I specialise in supporting neurodivergent people and people that have experienced trauma. I'm autistic and ADHD myself, which gives me an additional layer of insight and understanding when supporting neurodivergent people.

Is there an issue in your life that is causing you to feel anxiety? Do you feel different? Do you feel helpless, unsupported or confused? Are you feeling depressed and unable to see the way forward? Perhaps you would like to gain understanding and clarity about particular issues in your life. Do you need someone to talk to, who you feel would really listen and not judge you? Would you like to take back some level of control and gain some peace of mind? If so, I can help you, by providing one-to-one support.

Are you feeling stressed, lost, confused or anxious? These feelings may be a result of a traumatic event, pressures from work, family difficulties, addictions, obsessions or trauma. With busy lives, responsibilities and often with others depending on us, we often dismiss our feelings or fail to understand why we feel, the way we do. I offer a safe place where we can focus on you and we will work together using a therapeutic model that meets your needs. I can offer flexible appointments that fits in with your schedule and if you work shifts we can offer flexible sessions.

The people I work with could be struggling with issues within their relationships with others such as sexual addiction, sexual betrayal trauma and psychosexual problems. Other people may want to develop their relationship with themselves such as improving their self esteem, personal compassion or self respect and dignity. My approach enables people to explore, understand and change their relational and personal issues. I can also offer more ‘general’ Couple’s Counselling and Psychosexual Therapy. I work with both individuals and couples.

I believe that everyone has the ability to find answers within themselves. My practice is characterised by creativity, utilising techniques such as sand tray work, art, fairy tales, and metaphors. Importantly, you don’t need to be an artist to engage in this creative process. I will offer a warm friendly space, a comfy sofa and a cuppa for you to relax, so if talking is your thing, then we can do that too. There is no pressure to be creative in our sessions, its just another way of expressing and exploring our feelings. I specialise in working with children and young people as well as adults.

My aim is to help couples and individuals identify presenting issues which are causing distress and work towards improving both emotional and sexual relationships.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, fearing the worst or constantly overthinking, seeking counselling could help you. You may be experiencing depression, sleep troubles, relationships problems or lacking energy to face the day ahead. Even though you have people in your life, you may feel that you have nobody to confide in, leaving you feeling alone. If this sounds familiar to you then reaching out for counselling and speaking to someone impartial could be a helpful step.

Are you a concerned parent of a child or teen grappling with their emotional, behavioural, or mental well-being? Do you recognise any of these challenges in your child? Persistent worry and preoccupation, a noticeable shift from their usual joyful self, a reluctance to engage in activities they once enjoyed, frequent excuses overshadowing enthusiasm, puzzling changes in their behaviour, heightened sensitivity and emotional reactions. If you're struggling to find effective ways to help, if your well-intentioned efforts, such as talking to them, providing reassurance or encouragement, seem to lead to dead ends, I'm here to assist.
