Counselling in Enfield

I am an experienced qualified therapist and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), who can support you at a time when you feel overwhelmed, upset or anxious.

Hello, my name is Jocelyn. I'm a specialist Trauma Therapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. My 20 years of experience includes working with Complex Trauma, PTSD, Childhood and Adulthood Abuse, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Relationship Issues, Low Self-Esteem, Fears, Phobias, Addiction and Life Transitions. I offer a compassionate and non-judgemental safe space where you will feel listened to and valued. I can support you with immediate day to day stabilisation, whilst also working on a deeper level to help you to heal past traumas and underlying issues.

I am most often consulted by people who have anxiety or depression. Modern life can be stressful and many people seek my help with stress and stress-related health conditions. I am frequently consulted for help with relationship problems. In recent years I have seen an increase in the number of people who are seeking help with alcohol, food and eating disorders. Many people come because their life is not working the way they want it to, and they feel stuck and unable to move forward.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed with your feelings? Are you having difficulties in your relationship or trying to cope with a relationship breakdown? Are you feeling overwhelmed with sadness due to the death of a loved one? Are you being bullied at work or stressed because of a difficult boss? Do you self-harm, have body image issues or bouts of disorderly eating? Are you beginning adult life and struggling with anxiety, low mood or negative thoughts. I understand how difficult it can be to talk about how you are feeling. I can help you explore your issues and work through challenges.

Therapy can be more than just a space to discuss difficulties, it can be a place of learning, healing, playing and growing. It can be a place where you can process the past, so that you're able to move forward into the life that you want to create for yourself.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I support and treat a variety of difficulties including: stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, social anxiety, health anxiety, emetophobia, OCD, coping with long term medical health conditions, and low-self esteem using evidence based techniques.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

Are you struggling to overcome events or memories from your past? Maybe you feel trapped in negative patterns and behaviours. You might be navigating significant life transitions, such as pregnancy, motherhood or recovery from personal trauma. You feel overwhelmed, anxious and uncertain about the changes happening in your life. Or, you might be feeling stuck with the lack of change happening. You want to heal from past traumas and improve your overall well-being. You dream of achieving inner peace and contentment and you hope to build and maintain healthy, supportive relationships with partners, friends and family.

Life does not come with a guide book, we can often find ourselves overwhelmed and distressed and not sure where to turn to. Sometimes you may not even be aware of the root cause of your problems, but have a nagging doubt of not feeling quite right. Anxiety, bereavement,relationship, job changes can leave you feeling unable to cope and overwhelmed. I am here to listen to you in a non-judgemental capacity in a safe confidential space. Talking about what is troubling you and being truly heard can prove to be invaluable, as together we unravel your thoughts and emotions, enabling you to take back the control over your life.

I opened Ataraxia counselling at the beginning of 2018. Just over a year in and the practice is growing faster than expected. I work with clients with all types of issues and personalities. My experience so far is predominanty mental health as i have worked for Mind in mid Herts and addiction as i also work for ADAS a drug and alcohol agency. If i was to say i had a niche it would be that i can make shy clients feel at ease early on using a relational supportive style of counselling. I would love to welcome new clients to Ataraxia.

Are you not living as you would like to? Maybe you know what is holding you back, maybe it’s just a feeling things could be better. Past experiences shape us; affecting how we feel, what we do, the relationships we form and the lives we lead. Trauma, be it big and dramatic, or small and subtle, can impact our day to day lives. Struggling from unprocessed issues might show up as low self-esteem, heightened anxiety or feeling down. We cope best we can and having therapy to address our difficulties and make changes can be a daunting prospect. I see therapy as a collaborative journey that can enable new ways of being and living.

I am a relatable therapist with a wealth of experience in addressing various psychological concerns. My practice is open to individuals, couples, and families seeking support for relationship dynamics, parenting challenges, and various personal struggles. I specialize in assisting clients with relational problems, anxiety, depression, anger management, grief, identity and immigration issues, and life cycle transitions such as pre-marriage and marriage counselling, parenting, menopause, and retirement.

Since 2009, I've been committed to supporting clients in their healing journey by offering talking therapy and conducting over 4000 successful EMDR sessions. Specialised training with Esther Perel enriches my marriage counselling approach, exploring issues like freedom versus security, struggles with intimacy and connection, emotional shutdowns, conflicts over finances and recurring arguments. In therapy, we start by understanding your story's narrative. We unravel underlying beliefs like "I'm not good enough," "It's my fault," and "I'm unsafe." Together, we collaborate to establish secure attachment and facilitate repair.

Are you feeling anxious, demotivated, and or depressed? Perhaps you feel like you're at your wits end and don't know what to do? Do you ever feel inadequate, insecure or like you don't belong? Do you ever wish you could just feel more confident? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative thinking or trying to avoid your problem but it just won't go away? I have been working successfully with clients with low confidence, self-esteem, social anxiety, social phobia, and existential issues in a counselling or coaching capacity. My style is collaborative, solution-focussed, & somatic, tailored to you and your individual needs.

Sometimes you want to be heard, truly heard. To have someone to talk to about whatever is on your mind, to be listened to without being judged or told what to do. If you are feeling unheard, anxious, upset or overwhelmed, I am here to listen and help you to explore your feelings, to better understand them and feel more in control. I offer a safe and confidential space where we can explore whatever is troubling you. By exploring your thoughts and feelings, both past and present, I can help you to better understand yourself and to accept and let go of what has been weighing you down, to allow you to move forward.
