Domestic Abuse Counselling in Southampton

Hi, I am Mark at Be Well Counselling. Many of us sometimes feel stuck or lost in our lives, without a clear view of the future. We may have specific personal issues which we wish to address, be facing changes in circumstances or experiencing a challenging period in our life. I support clients with a wide range of personal issues including anxiety and depression, low self-esteem and burnout. I help clients explore and process impact of abuse and trauma, domestic abuse, bereavement and grief. I help clients in their processing and working through relationship issues and divorce, parenting issues and changes in personal circumstance.

Do you walk on eggshells in certain relationships? Do you struggle to say no or set boundaries. Do you feel like your reality is being questioned? Have you been in a relationship that has been verbally abusive? Do you not have control of your finances, or personal decision making? Do conversations sound like they are 'crazy making' or going in circles. Sometimes we feel like we have lost ourselves in our relationships. Or we have experienced significant psychological abuse in the past. I help people make sense of their experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. You are not alone and can improve your life.

Does life sometimes feel like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces not slotting together? I am a great believer that we need to invest in ourselves. When life becomes difficult and those pieces are just not fitting, therapy gives you the opportunity to focus on yourself, make you the priority in an otherwise busy life. I have been through such times and it encouraged me to train as a counsellor then a psychotherapist to help clients with general mental health issues and other life difficulties, such as grief and other losses, addiction, sexuality, relationships, domestic abuse and anger issues.
