Ina 

Do you suffer with anxiety or depression, have you suffered trauma and feel you are not living your life to its full potential? Are you highly sensitive and feel easily overwhelmed ? Do you struggle with grief of the stresses of today’s society? I have worked therapeutically with clients for over twenty five years and also have many years’ experience in education in the special needs sector using music as a medium. I hold a space for you without judgment as well as focusing on your unique creative potential. We are exposed to many different stresses these days. I listen carefully to help you identify recurring themes and the way you relate to people and the world.

I work with adults, teenagers and children. I have a foundation degree in humanistic integrative counselling and a PGCE in education. My background working creatively means I integrate this knowledge with my psychological expertise. I am experienced in body-based therapy and can also offer outdoor therapy and equine assisted therapy with my beautiful gentle ponies. Equine assisted therapy offers a unique way of understanding yourself through your connection with the horses.

Throughout my life I have worked with people to support them to achieve their creative potential. I am a caring, sensitive person and approach problems calmly, with empathy and humour where required. I believe that nature can be transformative and love working outdoors as well as in the therapy room.
I am fluent in English, German and Italian. Ich spreche fließend Englisch, Deutsch und Italienisch. Parlo correntemente inglese, tedesco e italiano.

Kim – 

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I understand that life’s challenges are as unique and complex as the individuals facing them. I am a qualified counselling professional with BACP registration. I specialise in working with clients to manage and overcome the issues that are causing them distress. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients and look forward to supporting you on your unique journey. I welcome clients facing difficulties in any area of their life, from all backgrounds and cultures.

As your counsellor, I’m here to support your personal journey, helping you to overcome your difficulties and learn ways of coping better in the future. Few among us find change easy but from it we can grow and transform ourselves. If you are feeling lost, anxious or in distress for any reason, counselling can help you to regain a sense of control. Once this has been achieved, if you choose it, we can work together on moving forwards, focussing on unlocking your potential and hopefully achieving your goals. Each of us can experience hard times but with help, we can learn more about ourselves and turn these challenges into a starting point for a new life, the future is full of potential and opportunities.

I have many years’ experience of working in various industries, for the past ten years this has been in the education sector, specialising in working with neurodivergent individuals. Please get in touch to learn more about how we will work together.

There is a lot to being human, having to navigate through life can bring challenges that may seem daunting, scary or even impossible to get through. Relationships, work , family and past experiences can evoke feelings, thoughts and emotions that can be tough or painful to bear.

I am an integrative counsellor which means I can use several approaches ,such as existential, psychodynamic and person-centred, whatever suits you. I offer a gentle space for you to experience warmth and understanding, confidentially.

I work online using Zoom.  If you are interested please contact Lucy by text or email on 07949 481092 or ksclucy@gmail.com

Kimberly  online  Counsellor

Losing someone or something you love can be extremely difficult to come to turns with, the grieving process is long and you often feel as though people don’t understand how you are feeling. You may put on a mask to cover these feelings and try to carry on with life the best you can. Keeping in these feelings in can build up inside and you can start to feel overwhelmed. It can also have an effect on your day to day living. There is no timeline on grief and people can have different experiences and cope with it differently. Always remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

Perhaps you are feeling ‘lost’ but you can’t quite understand why? Or your anxiety levels have risen lately? Or perhaps you just do not feel like you anymore and you want to start to get the real you back again. 

Whatever your reason for seeking counselling it’s important to know that Talking has an incredible healing power. Counselling allows you to Speak to someone who doesn’t make you feel judged or ashamed and gives you a safe space to express yourself. 

I am am a counsellor and am also a qualified solution focused hypnotherapist. I have experience working within mental health services and the domestic abuse service, and am a member of the BACP.

Our counselling sessions will be made online via zoom which allows you to speak to me from the comfort of your own home or a space where you feel comfortable to talk.

Jacqui Business Coach

Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their growth – Sir John Whitmore

It’s tough at the top, isn’t it? AND lonely too. Being a senior manager brings great rewards and great challenges. However, it doesn’t always bring YOU the help and support YOU need, you simply have to go it alone.

Does this resonate with you? Would you like to be able to share your challenges in a confidential way with someone who understands your difficulties and helps you to find solutions?

As a High Performance Coach, I can offer you the sounding board and support that you need. Someone who will listen to you and share your challenges yet also offer support so that you feel able to see things clearly and reach conclusions by taking action.

Understand this though, I am a direct, no nonsense coach who may challenge you and give you the feedback that no one else has dared to give. My nickname, ‘the gentle Rottweiler’ is pretty accurate.

You don’t have to be a senior manager to receive my help, just someone who is struggling with finding a path through a particular situation.

You can contact Jacqui on jackie2306@gmail.com and 07866 505743

Richard

I help clients to work on a range of issues including overwhelm, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma. Using the therapeutic relationship as an environment to enable clients to heal, developing their internal resources, and finding connection with themselves.
I value the unique perspective, experience I help clients to work on a range of issuence, and identity of the people I work with. Including the variety of sensory and perceptual experiences, and styles of processing information and language, of neurodivergent clients.

I use a range of styles and approaches to find what feels right for the client. Working together to discover, and make meaning of their narrative, expressed through their thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Including using constellations to resolve intergenerational trauma held in the embodied memory of their ancestors. Using techniques like dreamwork, body work, and parts work, to access and process pre-verbal and preconscious experiences.

We can explore what matters to you in an environment where it is safe, you are welcome, and you feel supported. Where you can experience a healing relationship where parts of you can emerge and grow, without stigma or shame.

Pablo Reina Martinez  

Perhaps you wake up feeling that even that you are trying your best you feel bad. That whatever efforts you are putting to live a positive life are not working and this leaves you feeling confused.

Perhaps you don’t know why you feel so anxious, stressed, negative, angry, ashamed or in a frequent low mood. Maybe you are tired of putting effort in improving things and you feel at odds with yourself, reacting to events in a way that is far from your real version. Perhaps you no longer feel happy and at ease with yourself, your relationships and the activities you focus on.

We all go through phases were our emotions and thoughts seem to work against us, to pull us in a downward spiral.

I know I have experienced that many times, and this has forced me to reach out to others. Doing so is not an act of weakness, but an act of maturity, it means we admit sometimes life is hard and that sometimes we face situations for which we don’t feel enough. This is normal part of growth and necessary for psychological development. An opportunity to improve the connection we ourselves which will move us certainly to better times and opportunities. 

Counselling is designed to facilitate this process, to make it easier and more rewarding for you. We can all find a way to cope in isolation, but we are not built to thrive in isolation. My aim is to accompany you in the process of learning and transcending your current issues. I have worked helping individuals like you for more than 3 years and I truly love this process of helping people move from pain to a renewed sense of wellbeing. Just like other therapist have helped me do before. 

I invite you to get in touch with me, and to start your journey to a positive mental health that will surely affect all areas of your life.

Pablo can be contacted at office@kingsquarecounselling.co.uk   

Mike  

Do you find yourself wondering what life is all about? What have I achieved? What does the future hold and does it matter anyway?  His clients are from all ages and backgrounds, and many bring these questions, unsure what to say or where to start. Some bring painful memories, others feel insecure and many want to feel valued.

“I am a BACP registered counsellor offering short and long term counselling on a once weekly basis to individuals from my private practice online, currently on zoom. I offer a warm, empathetic and non judgemental space in which to explore the things which may be troubling you. Together we can reflect on how things in your past may have played a part and how change may occur.”

Lucy 

                 I see the counselling hour as a precious time for you, to speak about whatever is important to you, without being judged. It is your time. I will be alongside you, working to create a space for you to explore your fears, anxieties, troubling thoughts, losses, addictions, habits, future plans, hopes, or anything else.

            My approach is person-centred, and I have a background in peer-to-peer therapy. In practice this means I am passionate about creating an equal relationship which empowers you. I believe my job is to facilitate your own self-understanding, to build a relationship in which your own wisdom unfolds and promotes your growth. Emotional problems occur when we cannot come to an acceptance of difficult feelings or experiences. Counselling gives you a chance to process those feelings or experiences, in your own time.

In my own experience, I found the counselling process did unburden me and lead to greater opportunities for growth, maturity and fulfilment of potential.

I currently offer sessions on Zoom or over the phone.  You can contact Lucy at   office@kingsquarecounselling.co.uk  

Stacey 

You may be exploring therapy because of a specific long-term problem, a crisis, or a more general sense of wanting to understand yourself and grow. I am here to see you as the individual you are, to listen to you without judgment, and to support you as you work through challenges past and present.

What led me on my journey to become a counsellor?  I would say my own difficult past, I felt lost and confused for quite some time and didn’t know where to turn. Eventually I reached out and began therapy myself, I began to see more clearly, and things started to make more sense. The difference having therapy made to my life made me realise how much I wanted to help others overcome their difficulties.

I feel my personal experiences would help me to connect with you at a much deeper level.

Tina (Person-Centred Counsellor)

“I am isolated. I sit in a glass ball; I see people through a glass wall. I’m screaming, but they don’t hear me.’ (Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being.)

I don’t want you to feel isolated or unheard. I am here to walk alongside you wherever your journey, your path will guide you. I can provide you with an unjudgmental, secure and confidential space where you can find the time to explore what is important to you, to connect with your feelings and to establish new connections with the real you. I can work with anxiety and depression, loneliness, stress problems as well as people who suffer with or from drug abuse.

Tina (Person-Zentrierte  Beraterin)

“Ich bin isoliert. Ich sitze in einer Glaskugel; Ich sehe Menschen durch eine Glaswand. Ich schreie, aber sie hören mich nicht.”

Ich möchte nicht, dass Sie sich isoliert oder ungehört fühlen. Ich bin hier, um an ihrer Seite zu gehen, wo immer ihre Reise, ihr Weg Sie führen kann. Ich kann Ihnen einen sicheren und vertraulichen Raum bieten, in dem Sie die Zeit finden, das zu erkunden, was für Sie wichtig ist, mit Ihren Gefühlen in Kontakt zu treten und neue Verbindungen mit dem realen Sie herzustellen. Ich kann mit Angst und Depression, Einsamkeit, Stress-Probleme sowie mit Menschen arbeiten, die mit oder unter Drogenmissbrauch leiden.

Asha

Hello, my name is Asha and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor.

There are times in life where we can feel numb or unable to focus, on what’s going on in the present. Perhaps a feeling of being pulled by the past or having anxiety on the future unknowns.

I offer a no judgement space, where I will offer empathy and understanding. Person-centred counselling is at the heart of building up a therapeutic relationship, whereby we will go where you want and at your own pace.

I have personally found person-centred counselling to be incredibly healing and I hope that in our time together, you will feel that you can lead and feel safe to explore what comes up for you.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, and currently work with over-18s  only.

Zofia

I’m a qualified, passionate integrative counsellor and Internal Family Systems therapist. I’ve had experience in working with clients dealing with a range of issues including anxiety, grief, stress, OCD and low self esteem. I strive to create a warm, safe space, where you feel comfortable and supported to take the first steps on your therapeutic journey.

My training focused on several different humanistic counselling approaches, mainly person centred, Gestalt and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy).  Most recently I have completed my Level 1 in Internal Family Systems therapy, this is now my primary way of working, however I can tailor the therapy to best fit you and your preferred way of working.

Counselling can support you through difficult periods in your life and help in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. Do you feel stuck and like things can’t change? You don’t have to struggle on your own. Together, we can work towards your goals. 

I particularly enjoy bringing creativity into the counselling process as I believe that reconnecting with our creative sides can be an important step on the therapeutic journey.

Dominika 

Do you feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope with everyday life?

Do you experience stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, difficulties with regards Covid- 19 pandemic, troublesome relationships or perhaps past traumatic events are too much to handle on your own but you simply wouldn’t want to burden your family and friend with your feelings and emotion?

If you fear you are misunderstood and judged by others counselling can help and can change your life. Through counselling you will have a chance to connect to your inner-self, gain strength and self-confidence. Counselling will enable you to clarify your feelings and better understand why you feel that way. This is a journey which can be challenging but extremely effective, benefiting you and allowing you to look into the future with optimism.

I understand asking for help can sometimes be difficult, however I truly believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you are reading my post you are halfway there.

CZy czujesz się przytłoczony i zmagasz się z codziennym życiem? Czy doświadczasz stresu, niepokoju, depresji, samotności, trudności związanych z pandemia Covid-19, kłopotliwych związków, a może przyszłych traumatycznych wydarzeń z którymi nie umiesz sam sobie poradzić, jednak  po prostu nie chciałbyś obciążać swojej rodziny lub przyjaciół swoimi uczuciami? Jesli obawiasz sie, ze jestes źle rozumiany i oceniany przez innych, terapia może pomóc i odmienić Twoje życie. Dzięki terapii będziesz miał szansę połączyć się ze swoim wnętrzem, zyskać siłę i pewność siebie. Terapia pozwoli Ci wyjaśnić i odkryć swoje uczucia i lepiej zrozumieć dlaczego tak się czujesz. Terapia to podróż, która może być trudna, ale niezwykle skuteczna, pozwalają z optymizmem patrzeć w  przyszłość.

Rozumiem, że poproszenie o pomoc czasami może być trudne, jednak naprawde wierze, ze prośba o pomoc jest oznaką siły, a nie słabości.  Jeśli czytasz ten tekst, jesteś już w połowie drogi. Sięgnij po pomoc.

Kate  

Are you feeling like it’s a challenge to feel truly heard? Maybe you’re worried about the stigma attached to mental health and reaching out for help?  Sometimes just the ability to be heard by another can be incredibly empowering. I firmly believe that hard times in life should never have to be endured alone, and I’m passionate about ending the stigma attached to mental health.

Every year one in four of us will experience a mental health problem, but that doesn’t have to stop us from enjoying life. Maybe you feel weighed down by academic pressures and demands, or you’re feeling overwhelmed in the workplace? I have experience of providing mentoring and support to university students, and can empathise with the challenge of balancing positive mental and emotional wellbeing with the stresses and pressures that come with life. Whatever you’re feeling right now, counselling can provide a safe space to explore your feelings and emotions.

My work is underpinned by the Person-Centred Approach, which means I will endeavour to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space for you to explore whatever you’d like to bring to each session, without giving advice or telling you how to live your life. Our sessions will always be led by you, at your unique pace. As your counsellor I will never claim to be the expert of your life, but help you to recognise your own capacity for personal growth.

Esthefanía (CBT Counsellor)

Maybe life seems too overwhelming for you at the moment, and you don’t enjoy what you are used to, or the anxiety you are feeling is making life harder. My name is Esthefanía, and I am a CBT counsellor. Together we can explore what is troubling you, get clarity and learn effective ways to deal with the difficult parts of life.

I offer a non-judgemental, confidential and warm space where you can talk about your current problems and difficulties.

Rex (CBT Counsellor)

Are you feeling emotionally stuck?

What do I mean?

A crippling worry about upcoming challenges? Viewing life with a level of hopelessness/ helplessness? Seeing threats to your relationships? Feeling uncontrollably frustrated?

Are you wondering why? What can I do next? How can I help myself?

I’m a CBT therapist who will help you understand and unlock these questions and emotions. While we cannot stop bad things from happening in life, we can learn to be rational in our thinking and experience negativity with a greater sense of ease and manageability. Accessing new sustained levels of contentment and happiness.

While this type of therapy has structure and process, the direction will be dictated by yourself. The aim will be to step deeper into your thinking and identify the limiting irrational attitudes held at the root of your emotional discomfort. They’re subtle. But once found, the task then becomes to restructure those attitudes into their rational form and integrate them into your everyday being.

The therapeutic journey is not straightforward, somewhat lifelong, and will be filled with all sorts of obstacles. However, I will be there to support you through our sessions and will be equipping you with the tools to become your own therapist.

We all experience challenges in our lives, and we all deserve support in processing and moving through difficult times and emotions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or perhaps finding relationships and work challenging, therapy can offer a safe and confidential space in which to explore these feelings and patterns of behaviour, helping you to make sense of your experiences. Having a regular time that is dedicated to you in a non-judgemental and compassionate space can facilitate your self-understanding and give you insight into your own emotional landscape.

As an integrative transpersonal counsellor, I draw on a range of approaches to help you feel safe in sharing your story and making sense of your experiences. I am led by you, and we move at the pace you are comfortable with, giving you the opportunity to define your own journey. The transpersonal element of my work means that we can weave in larger themes around spirituality, the natural world and intergenerational history. This enables you to interpret yourself and your experiences in the context of a wider picture. 

My own journey with therapy gave me a real appreciation for the value of an empathetic, non-judgmental relationship, in which I could feel truly seen. This is exactly what I aim to create with my clients. 

Kat (Trainee Counsellor)
 
Life can be complex. At times it can feel overwhelming and lonely. 
 
As a trainee counsellor in person-centred therapy I offer a safe, non-judgemental and empathic space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and life.

Kate 

When you are struggling, it can be easy to think that there’s something wrong with you. But you are not broken, or in need of fixing. I believe you have all the tools you need to change your life. Working together, therapy can help you to gain a better understanding of yourself and the things that you have experienced.

Our reactions and behaviour made perfect sense to keep us safe in the past; they helped us to survive. Now you may be in a place where you want to explore other ways you could choose to react.

My name is Kate and I have an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have experience working with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Domestic abuse
  • Sexual violence
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Neurodiversity
  • Trauma
  • Family conflict
  • Self-worth and confidence
