Female Counselling in Nottingham, ENG
Life can be hard. Sometimes you may feel stuck, overwhelmed or simply just in need of some extra support. I offer a space that is free of judgement, friendly and empathic to help uncover and explore experiences and emotions that may be contributing to some of those occurrences in the present time. Whether it be an event in the present with which you feel the need for some added support as you work through it or if you're wanting to explore past experiences, we'll work at a pace set by you, in a boundaried and safe manner, offering either a short or long term counselling and psychotherapy service for you.

I offer culturally attuned therapy to women from a variety of backgrounds often very different to my own.
Welcome, my name is Naheed and I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist, working from Nottingham, in-person, and online. We can all experience dissatisfaction within our relationships at some period within our lives. Sometimes we need support to understand what we are feeling and struggle with anxiety and depression or feel trapped. I am committed to providing support within a safe, empathic and confidential space where you can explore your experience with respect and understanding. I have an in-depth understanding of the experiences of being a daughter, sister, mother, wife or friend and can offer fresh insight to familiar patterns.

Regardless of our background we all go through difficult moments in our lives, leaving us overwhelmed and often struggling with feelings that may be hard to understand. It could be because life events are hard to overcome, or you feel exploited and disempowered and would like that to change. Maybe you are sexually unfulfilled or dealing with sexual problems. It could be that you want to build the confidence to come out of the closet or just to find your sexual self and enjoy the intimacy you desire in your romantic relationships. Whatever the reason is that brings you to this point - it is ok to look for someone to talk to.

Counselling and therapy can be about having a chance to vent with someone neutral, working on specific difficulties or understanding why you behave the way you do.

Are you struggling with feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Perhaps you feel lost or stuck, maybe you’re struggling with how to manage your difficult thoughts or distressing feelings or perhaps there are things you’d like to change about how you react to certain situations. Now more than ever, people are struggling with their mental health and this is having a huge effect on well-being, work, family and relationships. Sally Willan and Leanne Alston want to support you to understand yourself better and teach you ways to cope to feel better now and stay well in the long term.

As well as working in private practice, I have worked as a Psychotherapist over the last 6 years in the public sector, in the NHS and within a University Student Services setting and a Women's Charity.
Finding a therapist who you feel you can trust and open up to may feel daunting. My practice focuses on offering you a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in a way that allows you to process what is going on for you. What a therapy session will look like is not prescriptive and will depend on what you bring. Understanding your unique experience of the world will be the starting point on which to build a relationship together, where we can develop understanding, awareness and insight into whatever difficulties you are experiencing.

Hi, my name is Layla. I am a qualified and registered Person-Centred therapist. I am passionate about helping others and assisting them in finding their innate worth and value. Working through challenging life experiences myself, I have become aware that growth is possible, although it may not feel like it when feeling lost or stuck.

I create a warm, trusting, and confidential environment where you will feel heard, seen, and understood.

Welcome to my profile - My name is Cat and I'm an expert in developmental trauma and personality difficulties. These can lead to a range of mental health needs that I can support you with (like anxiety, anger, risky behaviours, psychosis...) and also unhelpful coping behaviours, such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts, substance use, relationship struggles, and on. My approach is to understand the 'why', to get the root cause of difficult experiences so that we know how to improve it. We will work on identifying unhelpful coping strategies and replace these with healthy ones so we can work on developing the life that you want.

I believe that we have the capacity to live fulfilling lives. However, we can get stuck in patterns of behaving, responding and relating that get in the way of us leading the lives we would like to lead. Often, we just keep going, even if we feel unease, depression or anxiety. However, our lives can be disrupted by a crisis or change, such as work problems or loss of employment, relationship issues or breakdown, bereavement, questioning our sense of purpose, becoming parents, and many other stressors and events that happen throughout life. At such times, we may suddenly find ourselves unable to manage.

I’ve worked with hundreds of men and women with anxiety and low self-esteem to help them to understand where their difficulties come from, what keeps their problems going and how they can free themselves.
My mission is to empower men and women to overcome low self-esteem and anxiety, build confidence and challenge limiting beliefs. I truly believe the greatest relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself and I am here to help you on your journey towards beating the negative talk and reclaiming your life.

We all feel stuck sometimes; either in life generally or in our relationships. We increasingly hear of people struggling with low self esteem, low mood and motivation, anxiety and depression diagnoses are becoming more common. We hear of relationships falling apart for a myriad of reasons; money, trust issues, infidelity, loss of connection to name a few. The key factor that causes relationships to break down is the failure to communicate effectively and re-connect before the problems arise.

Would you like to feel calm and less reactive? Less overwhelmed and more in control? To feel happier in your relationships with others…and with yourself? Sometimes in life, we get “stuck” and feel hopeless, unable to see a way forward. Whether you're plagued by a negative self-image, painful relationships or you're struggling to cope with life, I offer counselling and psychotherapy, to people just like you. I'll empower you to make the changes that you want to make and become the person you were meant to be. Too many professionals promise that they will transform your life! I won't do that - but I know that with my help, you can.

Welcome to SWAN - Supporting Wonderful Acceptance of Neurodivergence. I offer specialised therapy and assessments for mums and parents. In my job as an NHS neurodivergence diagnostician, I hear how hard it is for people to get GPs to understand their concerns. It's even harder for mums because we don't fit the medical profile, so keep being dismissed or given the wrong labels. My own AuDHD process was long and confusing, leading to unnecessary anxiety. Getting a neurodivergent affirming diagnosis is an empowering step towards finding a community that can be healing for ourselves and our families. We're not ugly ducks, we're swans!
