Counselling in Nottingham

Welcome, I'm Jennifer, a HCPC registered and BPS accredited Psychologist and EMDR therapist. I believe in creating a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to listen to your lived experience and support you to find the best way to heal. I believe therapy is different for everyone and I support people looking for short term relief and those who want to look deeper into past issues. I value feedback and like to work in an open and collaborative way with my clients. My specialist areas are trauma (including complex PTSD) and working with neurodiverse clients (either formally diagnosed or self-identifying).

I work with adults and young people with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, post -traumatic stress, relationship issues, harmful behaviours, bereavement, neuro-diversity and Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity exploration. My younger clients have included exam-anxious youngsters and school non-attenders. In addition, as a former boarder, I have taken additional training in working with clients who currently attend or have previously attended boarding school.

Whatever you are going through in life, therapy can bring you relief, peace and make a positive difference to your life. Therapy provides a “safe” space for you to talk without judgement or criticism. It also offers the opportunity for you to work through your difficulties and experiences from the past. This can help you cope with the struggles you are facing today and work through fears and anxieties about the future.

Life constantly reminds us that we don't know what's coming; we are multifaceted, complex beings and we cannot always face the things we need to, on our own. We all have our individual histories, and sometimes we need to look at this to help with how we are dealing with the world today. It is my intention to help you find the best way forward for you, using integrative therapeutic methods in a confidential, warm, non-judgemental, authentic, and safe space. If you are asking yourself questions such as why is this happening, how did I get here, why me, what do I do now?, then please reach out to someone who might be able to help.

Are you feeling anxious, low or struggling with low self esteem? Its estimated one in four people experience mental health problems, like anxiety and depression each year. You are not on your own. If you are feeling stuck and struggling to make changes I may be able to help. I am a fully qualified and experienced therapist having worked over thirteen years in mental health settings. I originally worked as an Occupational therapist before qualifying and working as a CBT Therapist since 2009.

Are you struggling with big emotions? Fear, pain, or maybe you feel empty, numb and unable to get going? Do you feel trapped by your relationships, circumstances or suffer with a lack of confidence to make a change? You may be grieving the loss of an important person in your life. Throughout our lives we have many ups and downs, losses and big changes. Sometimes we can feel alone in our problems. You might feel unable to share some of the thoughts and feelings that you’re having with others due to feeling that you may be criticised, ridiculed or misunderstood. Depression can make us feel disconnected from others and alone in life.

Hello and welcome. My name is Rebecca, and I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist. I work both short and long term with individuals, groups and couples. Whether you have a specific issue that you would like the space to explore, are dealing with something longer term that is becoming difficult to manage, or would like to understand yourself more deeply, psychotherapy can be a valuable resource. I specialise in working with clients who want to better understand themselves and identity, whether historic events seem to be holding you back, there is a feeling of not fitting in to family or social groups, or struggles in relationships.

Hello, Life can be tough and overwhelming at times, cant it? Especially now when this virus has bought so much change and challenges into our lives. Do you need someone you can talk to who will really listen and can help you gain a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings and the challenging issues in your life without fear of being judged? With a friendly and warm approach I am there to use my training and experience to support you.

Sometimes it can be helpful to talk to someone, other than those you know, about what you are thinking and how you are feeling. If you feel anxious, sad, or depressed, if you’re grieving, dealing with trauma, anger, worry or self-esteem, struggling with relationships, not sure where life is taking you, or considering new opportunities, I can help.

If you are reading this, then you have already taken the first step, well done you. My goal is always to understand you and to know how it feels to walk in your shoes. Using a dynamic approach, tailored to you and your needs, we will explore your experience together. I practice how I live, authentically and with honesty. My approach to therapy is relational. Healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship and through effective strategies that address whatever is holding you back.

Sometimes the challenges that we face can become too much. But where to start when trying to find a therapist? I'm here to help you change so that your sadness or anxiety dwindles and you can live your life more in the ways that feel right deep down. Together we will gently explore what's gone wrong, or dissatisfies you, and begin to mend, so that you can feel more whole. I believe that we can be damaged by the expectations of the world around us as well as by our earliest and most intimate relationships. Do get in touch at karenadlertherapy.com and let's together find the roots and routes to make the changes you desire.

Integrative theory, practice principles & research evidence inform & underpin my personal approach to understanding clients presenting issues and deeper-rooted problems. These are utilised to educate, inform & support clients to make links to reoccurring themes in their lives whilst the therapeutic relationship supports progress towards identified goals.

Hi, I'm Dr Rachael Staniec, an experienced Clinical Psychologist with a special focus in perinatal, postpartum, adult and older adults' mental health. I've worked with people experiencing emotional distress & mental health difficulties for over 14 years in the NHS, where I dedicated myself to understanding and supporting individuals through some of life's most pivotal stages: pregnancy, adulthood and the transitions into later life.

Sometimes the challenges to our happiness can be complex, arising from anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues. Other times, it may not feel clear, but you can just sense that it might be time to talk about it. Therapy is a chance to explore what you need, and what might help you navigate through your challenges. I'm a person-centred counsellor and therapist in Nottingham and I am here to support you in empowering exactly that sense.

Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I will sit with you in a safe space, listen to you and together we will get to know your inner world, however messy, complex and conflicted it may seem to begin with. As a result as eg. childhood trauma, toxic family dynamics, discrimination or the experience of being neurodivergent (self or externally diagnosed) in a neurotypical world you might feel not good enough or even ashamed. The world might feel like it is too much or you might not feel much at all. Together we will work to re-built a way to relearn to relate with yourself based on agency, authenticity and wholeness.

Life can be tough at times, can make us feel undervalued, overwhelmed and maybe quite a lonely place to be. Therapy can help us understand ourselves a little better, value our uniqueness that makes us who we are. I strive to support that self awakening, to focus on rediscovery rather than changing who you are. I am passionate about ensuring neuro-divergent people can access therapy and adapt my ways of working to meet their needs. I ensure I complete regular CPD and have additional qualifications in Trauma focused CBT, Theraplay Level 1, Triple P Parenting course and trauma training via PODS specializing in DID.

I am a BACP registered counsellor. I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for clients to help explore issues that are troubling them. My experience includes working as a therapist for the NHS both in general mental health and counselling patients with chronic health issues. I also have specialised experience of working with depression, PTSD, couples counselling, family issues, bereavement, anxiety and suicidal clients. I have experience of delivering employee counselling for insurance companies. If change is what you desire then please get in touch.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist focusing my time, energy and considerations on the client and their needs. Being heard, trusted, understood, and feeling empathy without judgement are vital to the therapeutic relationship which we will build together. If you are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed or would like to work on your self-esteem, self-care or any other personal issues I am here for you. Bringing to light your hopes and goals in a personal, comfortable and non-judgemental space will give you the time and attention you need to focus on positive change.
