Counselling In Welling
There are a number of reasons you may be seeking counselling. You could be having difficulties in your relationships, suffering from depression or struggling to overcome an addiction. The space I provide is safe, caring, confidential and non-judgemental. We can build a unique therapeutic relationship that will help you to gain insight and understanding so that you can improve your self-esteem, communicate more effectively, build safer boundaries and heal from your pain.
I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling Society. I abide by the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and the Code of Ethical Practice respectively.
Depression is an illness caused by changes in our brain chemistry and can feel disabling. Depression can range from feeling low (mild depression), to feeling that life is no longer worth living (clinical depression). Depression can leave you feeling hopeless, worthless and exhausted. It affects sleep, appetite and physical health. Depression is treatable and treatment will be dependent on your specific situation.
Feeling sad after a loved one has died is completely normal and a period of mourning is encouraged. However, if you are finding it difficult to move on with your life then you may benefit from help. Counselling will provide the space you need to talk about your loss and help you to manage the grief you are suffering.
If you have suffered from a traumatic event or you currently have PTSD, it is important you get the help and support you need. Research shows that counselling, and especially EMDR therapy is highly effective in treating past events and lessening the impact that these have on your life.
Low self-esteem can have a negative impact on your relationships, your work and your general well-being. Counselling will facilitate you to explore your feelings, gain insight and find ways to manage these limiting thoughts so that you can finally feel comfortable and happy with yourself.
Addiction can take form in many different ways such as food, gambling, sex, drugs and alcohol. Addictive and destructive patterns of behaviour are often linked to underlying issues and counselling can help you to identify the roots of these issues so that you can gain relief from thoughts and behaviours. EMDR therapy is also effective in helping to overcome compulsive behaviours.
Every relationship has arguments and disagreements, but managing these in a constructive way is what can be difficult. Therapy provides a neutral space to share and explore difficulties and will provide you with the tools so that you can learn to communicate more effectively and cope with disagreements in a positive and productive manner.
