Alcohol Use Counselling in Norwich

Hello, I'm Louise and I'm a consultant clinical psychologist and family therapist with 20 years of experience helping adults and young people with emotional and mental health difficulties. I specialise in working with problem drug and alcohol use, but also work with all kinds of emotional and relationship distress, including managing life with a chronic health problem eg chronic pain, endocrine conditions, DSD (different / disorders of sex development). Many people I see experience anxiety, low mood, chronic feelings of emptiness, disconnection or shame, often as a result of life experiences involving adversity, trauma and loss.

We can all at some time in our lives experience times which can create confusion surrounding the path you are on. Counselling offers a safe, confidential space where we can together bring understanding to what may be influencing your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and enable you to take charge again and move forward.

The decision to seek counselling, for you or your child, can be nerve-wracking. Sometimes things happen in our lives that make us feel broken or as if we’ve lost our sense of identity. We might feel like we will never feel okay again. Counselling is focused on the client's emotional journey, with their feelings at the heart of it. Working in a safe and non-judgemental space that offers acceptance and care can help my clients connect with their true selves and find their inner strength. If that’s what you feel you or your child needs, please look through this profile to see if I can help.

I am trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means I draw on a range of theories and concepts in our work together. Underpinning my work is my belief that we all have a human desire to feel whole and connected, with ourselves and with others.  Yet, this can seem unreachable. I will help you explore those parts of your experience that may prevent you feeling this way, and always hold in mind how difficult this can be at times. I have experience working with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, identity and unresolved trauma (including abuse and attachment trauma) .

I have many years experience working in public and private sectors with a wide range of people. I am trained in a variety of approaches, for instance CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Psychosynthesis, Compassion-Focused Therapy for Trauma, and Systemic Therapy for couples and families. My aim is to identify what will make your therapy most worthwhile whether short or longer term, how to reach for desired goals, improve your relationships and build self-esteem and confidence. My PhD is Critical and Creative Writing (UEA, 1997) and I am a published author. Website: lyndamiathompsonwriting.com

Are you struggling and looking for an experienced therapist who will listen to you in a comfortable and safe space, and help guide you through a difficult time? If so, I can help. MBACP registered and a fully qualified counsellor, I’ve been a therapist for over 10 years. In that time, I've helped clients work through numerous concerns, from addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to attachment issues and relationships problems.

I practice from my own room in NR6, Norwich, with parking available. I offer a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental counselling relationship. I work with clients to explore the issues that bring them to counselling, make them feel unhappy, unsatisfied or overwhelmed; exploring and working towards understanding these issues, and their responses to them. Our unhappiness may be triggered by any number of things beyond our control, but we can change how we think and the views we hold, through increased self-awareness. Couples work looks at exploring issues in a safe and emotionally containing environment to work towards mutual resolution.

EXPLORE ~ EXPERIENCE ~ ENGAGE ~ EMPOWER How we feel can impact on our world significantly. Talking through thoughts and feelings at our own pace can be a helpful way to explore what may lie at the root of pain and difficulty. My endeavour as a PERSON CENTRED NATURE THERAPIST is to work alongside you in finding your way back to a space of balance and wellbeing within. PERSON CENTRED therapy is at the very core of how I work therapeutically and NATURE deepens and inspires that process. Combining these approaches can be a way to explore thoughts and feelings and facilitate healing.

A warm hello and thank you for taking a look at my profile. I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, who offers a safe, professional, and caring space where I sit with my clients to explore what hurts. Experiences such as anxiety, loneliness, depression, loss, injury, trauma, abuse, identity, life direction and meaning, family issues, low self-esteem are often painful. They can also be seen as our internal system telling us to take a closer look at what's going on inside. Experience has shown me that taking the time to gently explore life events and related thoughts, feelings and behaviours with curiosity can be life-changing.

We might find times in our lives when we are struggling to cope, feel anxious and depressed, lost and hopeless, or feel unhappy in relationships. Therapy can be a place to make sense of experiences both past and present, exploring repeated patterns that keep us stuck and prevent us from making the changes we would like to in life. My style of working is collaborative, where we explore together, in a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space, the difficulties that you are currently facing.

Life can be complex. Feelings of anxiety, loneliness, depression, loss, trauma, and other challenges may arise. Whether you're grappling with identity, life direction, or family issues, I offer a space where we can examine these issues together. In our work, I offer a relational partnership characterised by collaboration, openness, and honesty. This partnership is essential to our journey of exploration and understanding. Through compassionate dialogue, you can delve into aspects of yourself and your relationships that may be difficult to address in day to day life.

Hello, I'm Alison. At Emotionalskills, we offer counselling and therapy to individuals and couples, helping those suffering from anxieties, stress, depression, abuse and low esteem issues. I work to understand my client's thoughts and concerns and I empathise with their emotions, recognising their needs. I am totally acceptant and view each client as a unique individual.

I work in collaboration with my clients, using a solution focussed approach. The aim is to identify the problem along with causal factors and to develop a unique, person centred treatment plan. I have many years experience and very good outcome rates - many of my clients come from personal recommendation. I have worked in both the NHS and private settings since 2000 and am also a registered mental health nurse. I have worked with people from all backgrounds. My approach is open, non-judgemental and and down-to-earth.

I think that there can be a misconception that counselling is there to “fix” people, for me “fix” is not the appropriate word as it can cause people to think there is something wrong with them. I like to think of counselling as a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore what is causing you difficulties at this current time. Counselling is led by you and I can support you through understanding your thoughts and feelings, helping you to process and understand what is happening. I like to think of counselling as a space to help you understand you better, because you are the best tool to help you move forward.

I work with neurodivergent individuals or their loved ones, supporting, improving and changing their lives. You may feel overwhelmed, seeking clarity, understanding and strategies for your unique experiences with ADHD or Autism. Whether struggling with health, emotional regulation, relationships, education or work, or parenting a child with ADHD or Autism, you want tailored support. You may feel that whatever you tried is failing you. You want to find out what works for you or a loved one. You strive for harmony and growth. You want to feel understood, explore practical coping mechanisms, and build resilience.
