Female Counselling in Buckhurst Hill, ENG

Hello and thanks for visiting my profile. My name is Kelly and I am experienced in providing therapy online and in person with children and adults. I specialise in working with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, attachment difficulties, and with questions of identity. My therapy sessions offer a non-judgemental space for you to identify what you would like to change. Whatever you are going through we can explore together to help you make sense of your difficulties by considering your personal contexts and experiences.

In my practice I offer a safe space to explore what ever my client is feeling overwhelmed by. My method is Humanistic Integrative where we consider together how they are feeling as a whole and the effect their worries are having on their body. We will look at ways together to improve their life going forward.

Whatever the difficulty, dilemma, challenge or sorrow; you already took the first step towards healing and change by finding your way here. Counselling can help to process, make sense of and move past your struggles in a meaningful and empowering way. My way of working involves building on the therapeutic relationship and trust with you, in aim to sensitively navigate through the labyrinth of experiences in your life and mind. I facilitate a non-judgmental environment to explore and validate your thoughts, feelings and emotions, and cultivate self-development/awareness towards the values that are in line with authentic self.

We hear so much about the benefits of looking after our physical health but often forget our mental health is just as important. In the fast paced, stressful world we live in today, we face many struggles and often find our emotions can start to feel overwhelming. Counselling provides a safe space to talk through whatever you may be going through to help improve your wellbeing. I am a fully qualified Counsellor with a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I have experience of working with both adults and children.

It may be daunting for you to consider the first steps of counselling, but my aim is to help you to feel safe enough to talk openly about things you might find difficult and to provide a non-judgmental, safe and confidential place to start your journey. I can help you to clarify your thoughts, feelings & emotions so you may be better equipped to make more conscious choices that can improve the quality of your life and well-being. Whether it's addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma or self-esteem, my goal is to empower clients to develop effective coping strategies and build resilience.

I work specifically with bereavement and have had extensive experience within a hospice. I am passionate about counselling people through loss and I work with integrity, admiring all my clients who find the strength and courage to seek support. My natural way of being, together with my own life experiences enable me to work with sensitivity, understanding, deep compassion and empathy. I can help you to explore the overwhelming, mixed emotions that you may be experiencing, Sessions with me can often bring a mix of emotions; sometimes sadness, compassion, anger, reflection, guilt and resolve. I can help you to better manage.

I specialise in working with children, young people and young adults experiencing anxiety and/or trauma. I support parents and carers alongside work with their child. I work creatively and playfully when appropriate and if welcomed. I feel it is important to get to know each person as a unique individual and build on their strengths in our work together. I work integratively, drawing upon several therapeutic models including CBT and EMDR, depending on what feels appropriate. My team can also offer support with needs including long-term health conditions (diabetes, CFS/ME, asthma), psychosis, self-esteem and anxiety (see my website).

Noticing that your relationships elicit surprisingly strong feelings? Struggling with low self-esteem or feeling 'not enough? Coping with being overwhelmed by engaging in unhelpful behaviours? Feeling that you've tried everything; worried that nothing will work? You might think that you just have to learn to communicate better or be less 'this way and more that way'.

I value the uniqueness of each individual experience and will tailor my approach to meet you where you are in your life – working with you so that you no longer feel stuck, unhappy or alone, reducing your anxiety, stress or depression and finding ways to make positive changes that improve your self-acceptance, self-esteem and personal confidence.

Are you suffering with feelings around self esteem? You may feel uncomfortable talking about your feelings. Do you wonder if it is possible to feel better? Perhaps you feel unworthy of happiness. Counselling can help you to feel less anxious. You can start to feel better able to communicate with your partner, family and friends . You can feel that you deserve to be happy. You will be listened to.

We’re naturally resilient, but it’s very hard to see ourselves sometimes when we’re stuck. Having another person to bounce things off of is freeing- it’s healing. So what does therapy look like? It’s usually a process of being heard, seen and cared about.  My role is in helping you tap into your own inner resources to find the answers that are right for you. I am a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor offering long and short-term work with adults. Counselling is a place where you can speak freely; you will also find humour, compassion and acceptance.
