Counselling in Suffolk

A very warm welcome. What led you to explore counselling? Is it for peace of mind, growth, connection, or hope? What do your aims include? Perhaps resilience, self-acceptance, confidence, improved relationships, and a sense of healing? As an enthusiastic and motivated counsellor, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals. I can assist with a range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm, and trauma. I provide a safe space for you to express your feelings and emotions without judgment. Together, we will develop coping strategies to manage anxiety, identify stress triggers, and explore your inner world.

People who are keen to re-orientate their lives in the direction of their values - towards what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. Having a clearer idea of what really matters helps people motivate themselves - even to the extent of accepting the difficulties it may entail - to either change or persist - in behaviours that will move them in their valued directions. Typically, this approach can be powerfully effective in dealing with the pervasive problems of stress, anxiety and depression and other chronic issues where rigid patterns of avoidant behaviour have developed.

A profound statement resonated with me during a recent client interaction - "at times, we simply crave being truly heard by a non-judgmental presence." There are moments when all we require is someone to tend to us, even if just for an hour. Let's take a pause here and reflect on the wisdom present in these sentiments. At times, all we truly need is someone to nurture us, even if only for a fleeting hour.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience as a Lead Clinician in the NHS. I work with clients using a person centred, compassionate approach- tailoring treatment to individual needs and circumstances. I have had vast experience across the spectrum of mental health difficulties in the adult population. Whether you are struggling with an anxiety disorder or depression, or overcoming past trauma, I will help you to understand your difficulties and find a way to manage and overcome the problems you are facing.

Hi, my name is Jamie. I work on a 1:1 basis with adults making use of different counselling practises and theories to find the best way to support you. I believe it is important that a person is heard and supported in a confidential, safe and non-judgmental manner where you can share and explore present and past experiences, to express your own thoughts and to be curious. I can facilitate this self-exploration and help you gain personal awareness.

Welcome! As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon a number of theories and styles to support you, enabling me to work in the best possible way to suit your personal needs. Despite, however, different theories and styles, it is the 'relationship' between us which has been found to be the most important factor in facilitating change. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental and empathic relationship, which is based upon trust and sensitivity, to help you to explore your concerns and to be able to gain awareness and understanding of yourself through the process.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. A space where you can feel supported and listened to, somewhere you can feel free of judgment. I am an integrative therapist I will tailor your therapy to meet your needs. These could be issues from your childhood or a current relationship. Life can cause stress, anxiety or depression for many reasons, we can look at these together and move forward to bring a new understanding of yourself.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, menopause – they all suck! I know because I’ve been where you are right now. And what you’re looking for is a way out of the dark space you’re in, right? So doesn’t it make sense to be guided by someone who knows the way? Who has been there and done it themselves? Nothing gives me more joy than guiding people along a path that has been trodden by not just me, but many others just like you!

I have worked with many individuals over the last 24 years with a wide range of problems. My work tends to suit people who are naturally questioning and curious: about life, about themselves, and others. I am happy to work in a focused short term way through to longer term therapy. I work in an integrative way, which involves ideas from different approaches, and I have an interest in the existential dimensions of therapy: meaning and purpose, anxiety and uncertainty, values, freedom and responsibility and the idea of authenticity. My experience is in helping individuals find and create their own ways forward.

ADULTS AND CHILDREN Experienced, sensitive/calm approach to free you from all kinds of emotional distress, anxiety, depression, addiction. Feel in control, give back meaning and purpose, build resilience, enhancing confidence, enabling you to make positive life changes.

My ideal client would be one suffering from PTSD, and who has anxiety and depression. Possibly has been abused in the past, ie raped or bullied

I can help if you think about life changes, such as considering marriage, divorce, retirement, career change or if you are trying to cope with grief and loss. If you are suffering with depression, anxiety, struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, have a personal or relationship problem to sort out, you are invited to phone or email to make an appointment. I work with people who want to understand their behavior, emotions and thoughts. Working with me is discovering how the past and the old relationships affect activities and present intimate relationships. I provide help in Polish and English. Confidentiality is assured.

Therapy is a place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings with someone who is trained to listen without judgement. It can be short term for a few sessions or long term and open ended, and is usually for one hour on the same day each week.

Do you find it hard to cope? Does life seem increasingly difficult? Perhaps you are struggling with depression or anxiety, or have experienced a trauma which you are struggling to move past. I have worked in a wide range of settings, including NHS Wellbeing Services and can offer an empathetic and confidential service, tailored to your individual goals and needs.

I support adults, children and young people who may be feeling anxious or low. I also help when people are struggling with managing different relationships at home, work, college or school. I offer children, young people and their families the opportunity to explore and find new ways of coping with their emotional and behavioural difficulties. This may be due to big changes at school or college, a divorce or any other big changes at home. I am able to offer in person meetings and we may also meet on Zoom. In addition to this I offer clinical supervision to fellow professionals, please contact me for further information.

Whether you have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, trauma or depression, or are struggling with general life stressors, therapy can help you identify areas impacting on your wellbeing and provide you with confidence and the tools to make positive change. I offer individual EMDR Therapy and CBT Psychotherapy for adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, some of which include trauma, PTSD, bereavement, stress, and physical/sexual abuse and more. We currently have availability for in person and online. NEW for JULY 2024 - FRIDAY appointments starting SOON. Contact to reserve.

I like to work in a target focussed way, meaning at the beginning of treatment we will decide what you want to achieve from therapy and collaboratively work towards your goals; whether this is through the modality of CBT or counselling, we can be clear about what you wish to achieve from our time working together.

Sometimes we lose sight of ourselves and need a little help reconnecting, sometimes we become lost and sometimes we have that familiar experience of ‘why is this happening to me again?’. How we used to relate to ourselves and to others may not be working quite so well now. The defences we have in place to protect us can get in the way and do not work quite like they used to. Being human can be tough and it can be hard to see the wood for the trees. To have someone walk alongside, wherever the path may lead, can be a truly transformative process.

Hello, and welcome. As an experienced psychodynamic counsellor, I specialise in working with children and young people between the ages of 10-25. For children and young people, it can often be difficult to understand or express their emotions. This can lead to overwhelming, confusing or stuck feelings, perhaps resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with relationships with others, and themselves. Counselling and creative therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, and develop an understanding of their thought patterns whilst building communication skills and emotional resilience.
