IMPORTANT UPDATE
Having spent several years focusing on widening my experience within different counselling settings and roles, I have realised my website and private practice 'image' no longer reflects who I am or how I work with you, my client, as a counsellor or psychotherapist.
So I have taken an opportunity - before the licences for this website can autorenew! -to completely rebrand and relaunch.
Please go to www.blackstarcounsellingpsychotherapy.co.uk to see more
- including the location of my Face-to-face counselling rooms easily accessible on Lincoln High St.
Person-centred counselling is proven to work in most areas of life problems.
I can also draw on my training in trauma and phobias, as well my understanding of other ways of working such as as inner child.
Here are just a few issues I can help you with...
Grief and loss - Your grief might be from the bereavement of a loved one, a friend or really valued animal companion. It could be from the break-up of a relationship, or the loss of a long held and valued job. All of these can cause the pain to be just too much, or make it seem impossible to face the future.
Anxiety and stress - maybe you know something is not right and are struggling to cope - perhaps resulting in panic attacks - but you don't know what with, or why, and need to work it out and get back control.
Life-changing or life-limiting circumstances - perhaps a health or medical condition are forcing a major change in your life, or are you a carer for someone who is facing these challenges.
Workplace stress - Issues at work, professional relationships or workload causing problems? Are you struggling to understand the impact of workplace changes - remote working perhaps - and struggling to see a way forward?
Self esteem & Relationship - I only work with individuals, not couples, but have supported many to work out the issues causing upset or friction, even anxiety and panic attacks, in their life because of present or even past relationships.
Painful or troubling memories - are you avoiding thinking about an event or incident in your past because it is just too painful to think about? Is it affecting how you live your life now?
Traumatic Experience -have you experienced a traumatic event? It could be an accident, an assault or are you a survivor of domestic abuse? It could be complications following a routine medical procedure, or just something that left you really emotionally bruised – recently or in your past - but it still haunts you now.
PTSD or cPTSD - Has an experience left you really struggling with the painful memories or are you experiencing nightmares of a traumatic event? Is just normal day-today living full of difficulties because of flashbacks and reactions being triggered out of your control?
I have supported my clients to overcome all of these - and more.
