Counselling in Norwich

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 am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in physical health conditions. If you are finding aspects of life challenging due to living with a health condition or you are supporting a loved one living with a health condition, I may be able to support you. Starting therapy can feel rather daunting. This is why I offer a warm and compassionate approach in working with your difficulties together. I offer brief and targeted therapy focused on developing coping skills to enable you to live a meaningful life alongside the health condition. I can also support you with your wellbeing if you do not live with a health condition.

I offer a pragmatic and focused approach to Counselling. Drawing on a range of therapies I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space in which to understand yourself and your feelings more deeply. Working together we can explore how your past may be influencing your present thoughts, feelings and behaviours. From this process new perspectives and new possibilities for change can emerge. Counselling is a personal experience that will be unique to you. I specialise in effective short-term work as well as longer exploratory counselling.

Coming to counselling is often the first step in your journey for positive change. There are different ways we can approach sessions; from different approaches to therapy and finding a way that is right for you. Everyone is different and therefore, with my pluralistic approach, we can explore different ways that are right by you, guided by how you are each session.

Hello, I have enjoyed working as a Clinical Psychologist with adults since 1999 and have gained experience of working effectively with people with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, including anxiety, anger, mood difficulties, difficulties relating to ourselves and other people, trauma of all kinds, chronic illness and eating difficulties. I have specific training (an Advanced Specialist Diploma in Gender, Sex & Relationship Psychotherapy) and a special interest in working therapeutically with gender diverse (trans), gay and bi people or those who belong to the kink, poly community (kink aware) or sex workers.

Every person's journey is unique, filled with its own contours and shades. If you find yourself struggling with challenges in life, it can feel overwhelming, impacting your daily life and relationships. I deeply understand the weight of these experiences. You are not alone. In a supportive and non-judgemental environment, guided by evidence-based practices and personalised care, we can navigate these challenges together. My goal is to work towards emotional stability, improved relationships, and effective stress management, empowering you to embrace your journey and cultivate a life of fulfilment and peace.

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 offer both adult and child cognitive assessments which can provide a learning profile demonstrating strengths and areas of difficulty.

Hello, I’m Lauren. As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor I draw upon theories from the main schools of thought and tailor my approach to the unique individual; not applying any particular method to you but rather meeting you where you are, and going from there. As there is no one set way of being, and no one set way of working therapeutically with another our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to go through what brings you to counselling, any queries you may have, and to see how we 'fit' and how you feel about the prospect of beginning sessions with me

Growing up has never been easy but perhaps due to the ever-changing circumstances, it is becoming even more difficult for children and young people with so many things they have to navigate or are exposed to. When children struggle emotionally, whether they are toddlers or teenagers, either their behaviour detoriate or unhealthy ways to deal with those strong emotions emerge. Either option can be scary and not many will be willing to talk about what is in their mind or is upsetting them.

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.
