In Person Counselling in Worcester

I am a HCPC registered chartered Clinical Psychologist, working both within the NHS in adult community mental health settings and Private Practice. I have experience of working psychologically with clients across the lifespan and have a specialist interest in working with complex trauma, feelings of shame/self criticism and emotion regulation difficulties. I primarily work within a Compassion Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Framework; however, I utilise principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to compliment this.

If you don't feel you're in a good place yourself, you've come to the right place. Counselling is for all sorts of issues, from experiencing "uncomfortable thoughts" which are making it hard to function as well as you usually do, to severe and crippling symptoms. Remember, there's no reason to think you are "stuck" permanently how you are. My first session is free, so you can try it out for yourself with no risk or obligation. See my website: www.worcester-counsellor.co.uk for more.

Life takes us all by surprise at times and sometimes we can bounce back, but sometimes we need a bit of a helping hand; being able to identify those times and reach out is a sign of strength and the first step to taking control. If you are reading this then you have already taken the first step and I commend you for that.

I am here to offer my clients the opportunity to explore their authentic self with non-judgemental, caring, support. You may have received black and white messages about who you are supposed to be, or how you are supposed to feel that just aren't quite right for you, but you aren't sure of the alternatives. Or perhaps, you find yourself at a crossroads or experiencing huge change. This may have left you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or confused. I work with you to help you through this times, providing tools and coping strategies to help you long term too.

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?

Being challenged is an inevitable part of life and everyone may experience difficult moments at times in day-to-day life. Our natural reactions to life challenges may involve experiencing unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, low mood, shame, humiliation, and guilt. These reactions, however, may become “sticky” and you may feel unable to get rid of them. This can significantly and negatively affect your personal and professional life. My therapy offers a safe space and an opportunity for you to go through and develop a new understanding about your unprocessed emotions that would help you begin formulating a new way forward.
