In Person Counselling in Headley

Hello, my name is Clare. I offer counselling, psychotherapy, and art therapy with a compassionate and trauma-informed approach. Whilst working with trauma is my main interest, I also work extensively with depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, grief, abuse, violence, lgbtq+ issues, autism and ADHD.

Few of us live through life without suffering and pain - small daily traumas, griefs from relationships/loss, news, social media, work - which left unattended or gone unnoticed can cause us to turn away from ourselves, others, mother earth . In doing so, while we are protecting ourselves in the moment, we can wind up feeling isolated, alone, unsafe & unsure of what lies ahead -what is the next step for us to take. Global concerns, environmental crisis, & daily life can move us away from ourselves. Counselling offers ways to learn to develop our true belonging, awareness, restoring our voice to live in our true authentic selves.

I work in a very individually tailored way, I believe in the healing potential within each person and my focus is upon building a strong therapy relationship to facilitate support, awareness, insight and personal growth towards changes. I have over 17 years experience working with adolescents, parents and professionals . I work with a number of clients dealing with trauma, anxiety , depression and bereavement and loss . Other issues I work with include relationships, self-esteem, post-natal depression , transition and changes , divorce, separation . Adolescent and young adult issues include body image, eating disorders, depression.

My ideal client is able to reflect on their emotions and what's happened to them in their lives and relationships. They have the time and space to give to this. They have some motivation to change and can take some responsibility for the work we do together. We would work together to explore what they need and identify personal goals, this may change over the course of therapy.

When we find ourselves in a place where our thoughts, feelings or behaviours are impacting upon our daily lives, counselling and psychotherapy sessions offer an opportunity to understand why this is happening, make positive changes for the better, and move forward to where we want to be.

To be healthy is to be whole. I will support you to develop ​your own personal sense of wholeness. I have expertise that can help you to unravel your difficulties and find the solutions from within. Meaningful change is hard work. I believe having someone in your corner makes it more possible. This type of support is for people in crisis as well as those who are feeling dissatisfied, stuck or simply in need of more support. I will support you to fine tune your relationship to yourself and your experience, which can enable greater awareness of choices and the possibility for change.

Hello and welcome to my profile. I am an experienced BACP Accredited counsellor, working online with adults over the age of 18. I am passionate about helping my clients to address the issues they bring to therapy, whether it’s anxiety or depression, grief and bereavement, relationship issues or perinatal mental health issues and birth trauma. I work from a person centred approach, incorporating other modalities as needed, sharing coping strategies and techniques to empower clients to make the positive changes they are looking for.

I understand the profound importance of talking and being heard. In today's fast-paced world, many of us carry burdens that remain unspoken, leaving us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I believe that sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences is a vital step towards healing and personal growth. I am compassionate and here to listen without judgment, providing a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions and find clarity. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and help you reconnect with your inner strength and resilience.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life or are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or loss? Counselling can offer a helpful space to talk through your feelings and start to make sense of things. I will work with you and your goals to help you start to let some light back in through the cracks.

I am a qualified, experienced counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP, specialising in pregnancy loss, baby loss and all other bereavements. I previously worked with Sands (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity) for over 13 years and remain a Bereavement Volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support. My aim is to support anyone affected by bereavement, including family members, friends, colleagues or healthcare professionals seeking to support someone else.

My name is Ingrid Coombs. I am I C Counselling specialising in the field of trauma which, I believe is an event or events combined with all the feelings and emotions associated with it, which now negatively impact your life. Trauma affects people in many different ways. Only you will know how your experience is affecting you and whether or not you are struggling to cope as a result. I also work in the field of addiction, helping those already in recovery examine their journey which took them there. This can encompass past behaviours, relationships, adverse childhood experiences, leading to depression and anxiety and low self worth.

Having qualified as a Clinical Psychologist from UCL in 2007, I have extensive experience working within the NHS and privately. I work with individuals age 16 years and above to support them in understanding and managing their depression and anxiety.

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 aware that many people communicate on a very superficial level, frightened they may be judged, won’t be liked, or don’t fit in. I fully believe we all deserve to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. By talking with me, I hope you will discover your full and true potential, which may enable you to make healthier choices and create positive changes. I am passionate about my work and consider it both a responsibility and a privilege to be actively engaged in my client’s exploration of their life and I offer you my full commitment and dedication

There are many reasons why we may find ourselves considering accessing counselling support throughout our lives. You may have a clear sense of the support you are looking for and the difficulties you are facing. Alternatively, you may just feel in your gut that something is not right. Perhaps you are realising that having a better understanding of yourself, your relationships and the impact of your environment would help you live a more fulfilled life. I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues from anxiety, stress, trauma and grief to confusing thoughts, life transitions, depression and difficulties in relationships.
