Female Counselling in Holyhead, WLS

Hi, I'm Deborah. I'm a psychologist and therapist and my way of working is to try to get alongside you, to really hear and understand what's happened in your life, so we can throw light on why you feel stuck or troubled. I like working with people who struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, low mood, social difficulties, volatile emotions and anger. Most problems take a long time to develop. Fixing your problems takes time too. You probably want to feel better fast - who wouldn't - and we'll always be focused on change, but first we have to understand your story. It's like making an accurate map so that we can find the best way out.

Welcome! My name is Shaunagh and I am an experienced Integrative Therapist based in Cheshire. I have worked as a counsellor within primary care settings, employment assistance programmes and private practice. I have also spent 2 years as a volunteer counsellor for local charities. As a result I have had the privilege of gaining experience in a variety and severity of mental health complaints. I have the most experience working with anxiety, relationship issues, grief/loss and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience working with depression/low mood, trauma, family conflict, life transitions, self-harm, self-esteem and stress.

Hi, I'm Jo, I'm a qualified counsellor and have many years of experience. I currently work for the NHS as well as in private practice.  I understand that sometimes we all need someone to talk to, life can become overwhelming, confusing, or distressing for anyone, for many different reasons.  This is where counselling, and I, can be useful.  Counselling can be just the place to untangle your thoughts and make sense of what is going on for you, and how you might like it to change. I recognise that everyone is different. We are all individuals, and I therefore believe that therapy should also be unique to you, and your experience.

Searching for support can feel very overwhelming and can evoke a lot of difficult emotions. However, the willingness to face yourself is one of the bravest challenges you can undertake. As a counsellor, I believe it is fundamental to create a compassionate, warm, and safe space for you to explore yourself and your problems. My aim is to help you leave sessions feeling heard, understood, accepted, and with greater clarity. I endeavour to create an honest, individual, and meaningful therapeutic relationship with you. Our sessions will always be centred around your needs, interests, and preferences.

I am a graduate in Transactional Analysis Integrative Psychotherapy. Through this mode of psychotherapy, an understanding and awareness of why we are the way we are can assist us to grow, develop and change the narrative that may be keeping you stuck or struggling to navigate life, feelings, behaviours and relationships. I have been a practicing Registered Mental Health Nurse for almost 30 years now and through my experience of working diagnostically within the mental health system, I have come to recognise that beneath the labels and diagnoses, there are the experiences of life that only you have had.

Are you feeling stuck, facing a challenging period, struggling to cope or just wanting to understand yourself better? Are you feeling lost, powerless and helpless? You might have experienced a life changing event such as bereavement or divorce and be struggling with knowing how to cope with the future. Are you experiencing stress at work, even feelings of panic? I can help you explore these issues and others in a safe, quiet and relaxing environment. You are an expert on you. I look forward to hearing from you if you’d like to work with me.

I am an integrative practitioner, meaning I combine different tools, models and concepts from different approaches to suit each client. I work to the principles of person-centred therapy and honour client autonomy and self-determination. You are the expert on yourself! My role is to help you explore your emotions, experiences and sense of self in a way that nurtures your curiosity, openness and reflection, as well as to challenge when appropriate. I also implement practical psychoeducation through down-to-earth explanations which equips you with knowledge about different psychological phenomena, tools and regulation strategies.

Are you feeling the impact of life's difficult issues right now? Struggles with finances, work, relationships etc can intensify previous issues, or cause new issues that have a real effect on us every day; anxiety, depression, low motivation, low self esteem, insecurity, loneliness, grief, confusion, abuse, burn-out, overwhelm, it is not easy and yet completely normal to be feeling that way given life's challenges. Its often a relief just to talk and offload about what is happening. I offer a safe non-judgemental space that is uniquely yours to do just that and to help you figure out what's best for you moving forwards.

You might be struggling with relationships or work stress, perhaps you have anxiety or depression, you could be going through life changes like a bereavement or retirement. Maybe you simply feel stuck in a rut and unfulfilled. Whatever you are going through I can offer a safe, warm space to express your feelings with someone who will understand. With my support you can explore how to make positive changes or adjust to life circumstances and move forward. The link between psychological stress and physical poor health is clear, so making your emotional well-being a priority has lasting benefits in preventing future health problems.

My name is Ana. Are you trying to cope with any challenges in life? I help clients dealing with anxiety and help them reduce their levels of stress. This has an impact on dealing with disease or preventing illness. I encourage clients to adopt strategies and reframe negative thoughts, to have a more positive perception of themselves and of life. Goals can be achieved in a very short period of time. I am also specialised in Bereavement Counselling, being a volunteer for Cruse, since 2017. I have been teaching Counselling Skills at Aberystwyth University, since 2019. I also deliver Wellbeing Workshops and Stress Management courses.

My role is to guide you out from living in the past and to re-decide a better future. This is your story and now is the beginning. It is never too late to choose a different path towards a more positive outcome.

Life events and experiences can adversely impact our mental health, wellbeing and relationships. Do you feel numb, empty, flat? Are you struggling to move forward due to situations or events from the past? Are you having flashbacks, nightmares, or reliving events that have happened to you? Do you feel detached or on edge all the time? Are you having negative thoughts? Do you feel panicky and anxious? Spending your time living in the past or future, not able to enjoy the present moment?

You’ve landed on this page for a reason. Maybe you’re tired from always putting others first but feel selfish for caring about yourself. Maybe you’re feeling too anxious to even be around other people and are spending a lot of time with your thoughts. Maybe you want to escape or block out your thoughts altogether because they feel too scary to be with.  Whatever the reason is, you know that something doesn’t feel right and you can’t carry on doing it alone.

Hi, I’m Steph. I’m a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I passionately believe in the transformative power of counselling to change lives and it is a privilege to see the impact this has on allowing people to live more positive lives. Making the decision to reach out and come to counselling is the first step towards beginning to feel better. I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space for you to talk about difficult or painful feelings, thoughts and experiences.
