Female Counselling in Needingworth, ENG

Seeking support can often be quite daunting, particularly in trying to find the right therapist. You may be struggling with a range of issues from, relational difficulties, to the loss of a loved one or a traumatic past. You may not know the cause and could be feeling lost or stuck. Whatever the issue, we all present in individual ways and I offer to tailor a therapy that will be right for you. I am a highly qualified UKCP accredited, Clinical Integrative Psychotherapist, qualified at MSc level with over 12 years’ experience. Alongside my private practice, for the last five years I have been working within the IAPT NHS service.

I understand that to make that first call or email for counselling can be extremely difficult, the fact you’re here means you’ve taken the first step towards making positive changes in your life. Are you stuck, feeling lost or alone, afraid or upset? I aim to help you to make sense of your fears, worries and anxieties. Many people find it easier to talk to someone who they see as being separate to their life rather than friends or family. I can help you make sense of experiences of the past and resolve complicated feelings linked to these. Therapy can be used to better yourself, allowing you to take complete control of your life.

If you feel stressed, anxious, have relationship issues at times, have been feeling worse recently or are subject to bullying, domestic violence, or any kind of abuse and would you like to share your worries and concerns, you can talk to me in confidence and without judgment. My approach is Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis (TA), combining characteristics typical of Person Centred therapies (e.g. empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence) with techniques used to examine human behaviour through the analysis of social transactions. It is a versatile therapy that can help on a vast range of issues

Couples and individuals are welcome. Perhaps you lack self-esteem, self-worth or have never felt good enough. Does life have little meaning and you don’t understand why? Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, not knowing who you really are. We will work together, in a safe and confidential space to explore what has made you, you, and how things might have to change to get you to where you want to be. This can be on a practical, emotional or spiritual level - or any combination. Together, let’s remove the fear and help you move forward to reach your potential and a sense of finally being ‘good enough'. The ‘true you’. Are you ready?

You shouldn't have to struggle, life's challenges can be overwhelming and you may feel like you don't know where to start, or that things are going in circles. If you find that you have lost yourself a little, your brain feels clouded with worry or that there are psychological barriers to not being well, then therapy can help start you on your journey to wellbeing. I believe in people and will work with you at your pace, to ensure that you have the tools to navigate life’s complexities. I am personable and non-judgemental, I will work to build a trusting relationship with you to help you safely explore change.

I love helping people and finding solutions to things, which is why I became a therapist over 25 years ago and developed my practice to include coaching and supervision. I am an experienced therapist with a warm, caring, open and direct approach. I have an active, therapeutic practice focusing on solutions and strategies to understand and address personal issues and problems. I have a global outlook having worked with with people from all backgrounds and nationalities and lived in different countries. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore your life and what you need moving forward.

I'm a fully accredited counsellor for individuals and couples, supervisor and group therapist. I'm non-judgemental, empathetic and approachable. I don't have an ideal client, we are all special and unique. I work with people from all walks of life, regardless of sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, culture, race, age or religion. We will look at what you would like to achieve and working towards improving it together. I am here to help to make your life better, you chose what to work on and we work together to get you there.

Life can be difficult and stressful, and navigating its challenges can become hard. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, getting out of bed in the morning is hard, maybe relationships are difficult, you have worries about the future or the past is looming heavily in your thoughts.

If you're feeling sad, struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues; if you're experiencing stress, burnout or battling adversity; if you're dealing with complex or difficult relationships, grieving or managing change/loss in your life, or if you are simply looking to improve your self-awareness and develop healthier coping strategies - counselling can be a useful way to help you understand yourself better so you can live life more confidently and enjoy greater personal fulfilment. My aim to is put you and ease so you feel comfortable exploring the things that matter to you.

I believe that we can create the life we would like, and therapy can help us to form what we'd like for ourselves. I work in a confidential one to one setting, to build a trusting relationship. I will listen and empathise so we can develop what you would like for yourself and your wider relationships, so you can take charge over your experience. I've been working as a therapist for the last 6 years.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship issues, anger, grief or want to process unresolved trauma from your childhood I have experience of working with all of these and together we can explore in a safe, accepting and non-judgemental space. I will seek to create a strong therapeutic relationship which will allow you the safety and trust you need to unpick and understand your current situation, patterns and relationships and work towards building stronger foundations.

I am Hannah and am qualified to work with adults, children and young people. I currently work remotely with some immediate availability. All sessions take place through video calls (or phone calls if you have a strong preference for this). I work with a wide range of issues and if I can impart one thing to you, it’s that I can hold you. I can walk with you emotionally. You are not alone.

Everyone comes to counselling with different ideas about what they want to achieve. It may be you are looking for help with a specific problem or perhaps simply want to talk to someone. I offer counselling for a wide range of problems which we can explore together in a safe and confidential space. I am currently offering in-person sessions in central Cambridge and on-line sessions.

Do you feel you never fit in? Are you autistic, Aspergers or ADHD, or suspect you might be? Or perhaps you are a loved-one to someone who is? Do you struggle with socialising, making friends and coping with work colleagues? Do you wish you could just be yourself, without having to try so hard all the time?

I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

Underpinning psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a vast body of work that began with Freud, but the theory doesn't have an overt presence in the room. Psychotherapy in practice is more a process of discovery for both therapist and client. It can be challenging, exciting, frightening – even funny - as we both try to better understand the circumstances and patterns that have brought you to therapy. It's a good idea to have a no-obligation free session, to see what it's like.
