Female Counselling in Holt, ENG

Hello and a warm welcome to my page. If you are unhappy or anxious and would like to talk to someone, I can offer a safe and confidential space for you to do that.

Our counselling offers help in addressing the difficult areas of your life. This might involve loss and grief, relationship troubles or problems at work. Equally, there are times when the cause is not clear but you still feel something is wrong. Colleagues, family and friends can be a great source of support but it's not always easy to confide in those closest to you. At times like these, talking to someone who is not personally involved can make a difference. A professional counsellor will listen to you without making judgments and can help you find new resources within yourself.

I offer individual counselling in Frome - Somerset. ​You might be experiencing some kind of emotional distress, whether through a life experience, or maybe you are experiencing low self-esteem. You might be having issues such as anxiety or depression, or you might be struggling to come to terms with the impact of them from the past. It might be that you would like to change things in your life, or you may find yourself generally feeling unhappy or uncomfortable and aren't quite sure why. These feelings and experiences can become very overwhelming and difficult to deal with on your own.

I am a Humanistic Counsellor with experience in working with emotional and mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, self-esteem, feelings of being stuck, and recurring issues presenting in relationships and specialising in trauma work. I offer you a space to feel safe and heard. You can expect a warm, supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment in which to speak freely and explore possibilities. You will find me approachable, understanding and empathetic. I appreciate that talking about personal difficulties can be hard; I will walk alongside you on this journey.

Occasionally it helps to review and reflect on life's pathway. It can be hard to do this by ourselves, our friends and family may feel too close to confide in. It can be helpful to explore our feelings and emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment, I can provide this in a relaxing, quiet therapeutic space in Devizes. I have 15 years’ counselling experience with a deep interest in working with; bereavement and loss; with military families and veterans experiencing PTSD; with young people with additional needs such as autism, ADHD and ADD. I work in an integrated style with a special interest in Compassion Focused Therapy.

Are you having relationships issues or family issues? Are you struggling with anxiety, or are you feeling depressed at times? Have you had a life transition such as redundancy, illness or bereavement, or been affected by an affair or betrayal? It may be that life is getting on top of you, and it may feel that there is no one to turn to help sort things out.

Internal Family Systems is the fundamental psychotherapeutic approach that helps people deal with the legacy of trauma. We will work collaboratively, understanding what is being brought to the room and making sense of it together in an environment of safety and respect. I hope that our time together will deepen your self awareness and capacity for a fuller sense of you. Through expanding and deepening your understanding of yourself, compassion and perspectives can broaden- loosening the bolts on personal narratives or beliefs and creating room and opportunities for a different experience.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy enables you to explore and make sense of your current difficulties and, if relevant, considers how these issues may be rooted in past experiences and childhood relationships. Psychodynamic psychotherapy also enables you to attend to and acknowledge different aspects of yourself – some of which may be less conscious than others; to become more curious about your thoughts, feelings, motivations and memories and to get to know yourself better. This enhanced understanding can help you to recognise and rework patterns of behaviour which may no longer be helpful to you and to become more fully yourself.

I am an Integrative Counsellor & Embodied Therapist who supports women of all ages, with the wide range of issues women encounter through all phases of life, such as mental wellbeing, relationships, neurodiversity, cultural pressures & responsibilities, trauma and loss. I also support women with self-esteem, confidence, making a meaningful life and personal growth. I help you to feel safe, understood and supported, to help you make sense of what has happened, find ways to cope, look at choices, help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed, help you feel more connected with yourself, and live more positively.

Finding a therapist can feel like a minefield. Ultimately you probably want to find someone to talk to that you feel comfortable with, and who can of course help. I understand how confusing and nerve-wracking it can be to consider therapy and take the first step. I provide clients with a supportive space in which to unpack their challenges. I will help you to get a better handle on what is happening for you. I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, significant loss and bereavement, childhood and midlife trauma, as well as difficulty understanding feelings.

I help those who seek clarity about their situation, through discussion of the challenges. Viewing issues from multiple perspectives, including evidence based models helps you to get things more in perspective, more malleable, and more manageable. I see to your needs & provide resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving.

I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor. I do what I do because I love helping clients step away from anxiety, low mood, overwhelm and low self-esteem, and instead step into their power, discovering their potential with kindness and compassion. I work face to face, online and in the outdoors in the countryside surrounding Bath - so if you're a wild soul who loves being outside, I may be the counsellor for you!

A very warm welcome. You may be under pressure, angry, confused, anxious, sad, hurt or feeling lost. You may be struggling with many different thoughts and emotions, or simply not sure how you feel about a particular issue or situation either current or historical. Seeking support is a courageous step and finding the right support can be daunting. You will have questions, especially if you have not sought counselling before, and I will do my best to answer them.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story. Talking about our life honestly and openly, with an empathic and non-judgemental therapist can be a deeply healing process. Having a space where we can be fully ourselves, where we’re invited to slow down, breathe and investigate our inner world and our emotions is necessary, today, more than ever. We live busy lives and for many, it is difficult to stop and notice, most of the time, what is going on inside us. As we reconnect to our feelings and our essence there is an immediate sense
