Female Counselling in Denmead, ENG

Your past is something you desperately want to forget. You have done your utmost to push it all out of your mind and just get on with your life. But no matter how hard you try, those awful thoughts and feelings follow you wherever you go, catching you out when you least expect it. You feel trapped, powerless to change any of this. You feel out of control, unable to manage the stress in your body. And every time those images pop into your mind, you feel ashamed and guilty. There is this voice inside you telling you you should have done something more, something else. Then it would have all been different.

I support people dealing with the effects of trauma, whether from childhood or adult experiences. They often face challenges like anxiety, depression, or difficulties in relationships due to their past. Their needs include a safe and understanding space to explore these issues, along with effective strategies to manage emotional distress. Their goals are to heal from their trauma, develop resilience, and enhance their overall well-being. They seek therapy to overcome their past, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and build a life where they can thrive beyond their experiences.

I trained from a person-centred perspective &, through years of training, have adopted humanistic & holistic methods in my approach to counselling. No two people are the same which is why our sessions would be led by you. I'm an integrative counsellor & I’m here to listen, hear & validate your story. My priority is building a trusting, confidential relationship & to listen without judgement. With my help & guidance, the work we do together will help you to find answers inside, enabling internal healing in a safe & secure space. 'Therapy should not be theory driven, but relationship driven.' Irvin Yalom

Should I talk to someone about this? If you have found yourself on this page, it is likely that you have had this thought. Perhaps you have experienced a distressing event or betrayal or have lost the passion in your relationship. Perhaps you are looking for help as a couple or as an individual. Whatever the reason you are seeking help, reaching out is always a brave step. It is helpful to know what to expect.

I am a highly experienced chartered Clinical Psychologist, specialising in children and adolescent mental health and family/systemic intervention. I have worked across the NHS and independent sector for over 15 years and use evidence-based practice across the lifespan of treatment, supporting clients whose experiences reflect the full range of severity and complexity of mental health.

Hello, there are many and varied reasons why people seek counselling or therapy with no problem being too big or too small. Modern day life can leave us struggling to balance work, family and relationships resulting in us experiencing feelings of failure, self doubt, low in confidence, feeling overwhelmed, confused, lost, defeated and burnt out. At times we can experience significant change and loss. We can be left with feelings of low mood and anxiety and struggle to make sense of our experience. Maybe we realise that difficult past events or life experiences continue to affect us.

People come to counselling when their life is not going as they want it to be. With sensitive listening, empathy and gentle observation I can help you to become aware of what is troubling you and why. You may be having difficulties in one or more of a wide range of difficulties including anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, divorce and separation, family issues, guilt, loneliness, injury, loss and grief, low self esteem, relationship issues or stress. I can help you by really listening in a non-judgemental way and supporting you as you listen to yourself, which will lead to greater self-acceptance, understanding and resilience.

People often come to therapy unsure of what their goals are, knowing that things aren’t right and that life could be better if only those things were different. Whether you’re looking for therapy as an individual or as a couple - I work with both - I believe we all have the potential to change and grow, and that sometimes what is needed to start the process is a different perspective from someone with a fresh pair of eyes and ears.

I am a qualified Humanistic Gestalt counsellor; I am based in Eastleigh, where I see clients at my home. I also travel across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and parts of Dorset to peoples homes. I see myself as a multi-skilled counsellor with further training in different types of counselling, including CBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and TA counselling. I create a strong therapeutic relationship and use my knowledge to tailor the sessions to meet your needs.

Modern life brings many challenges – each of us meets these in our own unique way. Occasionally, problems feel insurmountable or a strategy may not be working. We may experience sleep loss, irritability, mood changes such as anger or even feel unwell. When our mental health is compromised, it can be as debilitating as a physical health issue. Counselling and coaching are powerful ways to take control. Counselling can help you discover your goals and find your own path.

I work as a high intensity therapist currently for the military and in private practice . I treat a lot of trauma , anxiety ,depression and phobias as well as panic disorder , generalised anxiety disorder , Post Traumatic Stress Disorder , childhood abuse , chronic fatigue syndrome and OCD. I have experience also in working with Psychosis. I work with people in a compassionate focussed way focussed on their goals for treatment . Therapy is always geared to the clients goals and what they want /need to be different , this is reviewed regularly in therapy to ensure we are still working towards the goals that the client identified.

Hello, if you are facing problems that are affecting you day to day we can build a trusting working relationship between us to help overcome these difficulties. I offer a flexible style of counselling that will adapt to a variety of issues and together we can make your life a happy one again.

I am an experienced, BABCP Accredited, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) Working previously for the NHS in this capacity but now solely in private practice. I am further trained in Supervision, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Facilitator. Due to working for many years in the caring professions and especially as an Occupational Therapist in the community, I have gained experience of both physical disabilities/long term conditions and the low mood and anxieties that can often accompany them.

People begin their counselling journey for many different reasons. You might be feeling anxious, depressed, have low self-esteem or feel uncomfortable in your own skin and be looking to empower yourself and build your self-confidence. You may be noticing traits about yourself which align with neurodivergence and want to explore this in an affirming space. You may be feeling stuck or on the verge of a life change, be needing space to talk through difficult emotions or experiences in your life, or you might find yourself reliving the same patterns and want to change. Whatever the reason, I can be here to go on this journey with you.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in difficult cycles of negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviours? Do you notice that the more you try to ignore your feelings, the more distressing and uncomfortable they become? Depression and anxiety often causes us to become paralysed, exhausted and de-motivated but therapy can help you to make sense of your challenges and find a way forward. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help you to meet your therapy goals and to support you to stay well after therapy has ended.

Are you are struggling with a difficult situation in life, feeling stuck perhaps with an issue from the past or present you need to confront. I will provide you the space to explore and better understand what you are dealing with. Whether it be relationship problems, life changes, dilemmas, anxiety, loss depression or low self-esteem, the opportunity this therapeutic relationship presents, having someone to talk to, is a chance for you to hear your voice, your values and opinions, most importantly being listened too.

It's Time For You! Are you always there for everyone else, and now need someone to be there for you? Then you have come to the right place! We all need help sometimes, and taking the first step of asking for help is often the hardest. I know, because I’ve been there too. You need time for yourself. How can you be there for others if you are feeling burnt-out? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement? Are you feeling low and anxious? Whatever difficulties you are facing, my job is not to diagnose you, give you advice, or tell you how to fix things. My job is to be by your side as we explore ways to help you find your own answers.
