In Person Counselling in Malvern

I’m an experienced counsellor working in a Person-Centred way, using Narrative Therapy alongside other creative ways of working. I have over 16 years experience of working with adults, children, young people and families. I have found that working with compassion and empathy, to support a deeper more embodied understanding of our responses to difficult situations is a powerful and healing way of working for many people and can lead to deep change. I believe that we all have potential for becoming unstuck and that there is always a possibility of listening to ourselves with greater compassion and self-acceptance.

Is your life constantly filled with worry, perhaps you're not even sure why? Do you have a fear of something that is getting in the way of you living your life? Does the thought of going out leave you feeling sick? Perhaps this happens with socialising, shopping, new people or perhaps even talking on the phone? Have you been told that you "won't get anything on the NHS"? Have you been on a waiting list for a really long time? Has all the 'self help' you've tried not been that helpful?

I am passionate about working with young people and their families. I am an integrative play and EMDR therapist working with clients from 3 years of age and up. I am also qualified to deliver Child Parent Relationship Therapy and have completed training in Sand Tray as well as being an Autplay practitioner. I have lots of experience in working with children, young people and their families SEND and/or with additional needs. I have experience of working with complex trauma, attachment, bereavement and loss.

Are you struggling to perform at your best, finding it difficult to manage your emotions, or letting fears hold you back, I can help. I’m Dr. John Pates, a Chartered, HCPC-registered Psychologist with 20 years of experience. While I have a proven track record with top athletes, including The Ryder Cup Team, World Champions, Olympic Champions, and Major winners, my expertise extends beyond sports.

Hi, I’m Tammy. Therapist, storyteller, recovering perfectionist. There’s a lot to get your head around isn’t there? I remember scrolling through therapist’s profiles online, trying to find one that would jump out at me. It’s OK feeling you don’t know where to start. Looking for a therapist already shows that you’re choosing courage over comfort. Having a difficult time makes you human. I work in a collaborative, client-led way where I will be with you - face to face, online or over the phone - with your pain, awkwardness, discomfort and conflicts to help you to recognise your own personal understanding of yourself.

You might be feeling lost and wanting change but are not quite sure how to get there. I work holistically with a range of difficulties such as general and/or social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, a history of unresolved trauma and relationship difficulties. Through building a good therapeutic relationship, I aim to walk alongside you to explore your situation in more depth and the choices you have about how to move forward. I also offer Christian counselling to people who would appreciate integrating their faith/spirituality into therapy. As a Christian, I work with people from all faiths and backgrounds, and from none.

I am a professional, compassionate Consultant Clinical Psychologist with twenty year of experience in helping people improve their mental health. I am also the Clinical Director of an established, busy private psychology practice called www.malvernhillsprivatepractice.co.uk based in Malvern, Worcestershire. We have a team of friendly, highly qualified Associates. We see clients for a whole range of difficulties, mild to severe, short to long term - children, adolescents and couples. We see clients daytime, evening and weekends. We also have an ADHD assessment and support service for adults with ADHD.

I am a fully qualified Relate counsellor, experienced in working with couples and individuals who have relationship issues. I also work with people struggling with anxiety and depression, intimacy and sexual issues. I work in a systemic, psycho-dynamic way using a wide variety of techniques to suit each individual and specific situation. Are you experiencing relationship issues? Do you repeat the same patterns over and over again, often ending up in conflict? Do you find it difficult to express your emotions and feelings? Is attachment or trust an issue for you? Do you have issues around intimacy and sex?

Hello, I'm Tammy. I'm a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and have worked in the NHS for over 25 years, in addition to working in private practice for 5 years.

Changes often take time and effort. As you read this, you may be confused, feeling stuck or have difficulty finding direction to go as you are going through a major transition in your life. Being 'between' different life stages, countries and cultures, jobs and education, different family roles can be a struggle and it takes a lot of energy to carry on moving forward. You may be needing somewhere safe to stop, have your breath back and examine what is happening around and inside of you so that you can recalibrate yourself and start moving on.

Do you feel anxious...overwhelmed… exhausted… stuck… wanting to run… scared… angry… or numb? Do you feel in need of a space, free of judgement, warm and compassionate, where you can make sense of your emotions and regain control of your life? I would like to provide this space to you. Alongside practicing as a counsellor I have worked now for over 3 years in a Lifestyle Coaching Project funded by the NHS, supporting clients who struggled to improve their physical and mental health. People often find themselves in a vicious cycle, trying to follow the advice given to them. When it doesn't work they feel like a failure.

Life can be a complicated and often overwhelming experience; I offer time to focus, explore and make sense of the difficulties that you are experiencing, at your own pace. There are many different reasons people come to counselling. I support adults bringing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, significant life changes and bereavement.

Is there something on your mind? You want to talk it over with someone, but you’re not sure who. We all have hopes, dreams and aspirations that can sometimes be overshadowed by worries and traumas which can make us feel stuck at some point in our lives. You know it is getting in the way. You feel It is stopping you from being your true self. And now you want to do something about it. I can offer you a safe space and time to share your experiences with me. There are always alternatives and possibilities for you to explore. You can choose a future that’s right for you.

I believe that everyone deserves to find peace and contentment in their life, and that gaining greater self-knowledge and understanding is an essential part of the process. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and beliefs at your own pace, in an atmosphere of warmth and compassion. I will hear you without judgement, and help you to make sense of what is troubling you so that you can come to terms with events and learn to value yourself more deeply.
