Substance 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.

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.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost, I am here to offer a safe and non-judgmental space to talk and make sense of anything that keeps you from building a life worth living. I am an HCPC registered Chartered Clinical Psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have experience working with young people, adults, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds across a range of different settings, including community mental health teams, inpatient units, crisis teams, and specialist services within the NHS.

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.

Hello, I'm James, an integrative therapist with 5 years of experience working in mental health settings, helping clients with diverse issues. My approach blends various therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs, ensuring a personalized healing journey. By incorporating elements from different modalities, I address the unique challenges each client faces, fostering insight and growth. My experience spans working with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and more, providing a comprehensive support system for mental and emotional well-being.

In these uncertain times we are all feeling anxious and that is completely normal, however if these feelings are overwhelming please contact me. Acceptance and speaking to someone may help to understand how to manage these emotions. Or maybe you need a safe place, space and time to reflect on your life. Counselling and psychotherapy could help you to understand and make sense of the world and also recognize your behavior patterns and let go of the old patterns; ‘If you always do the same things in the same way, you will also get what you have always got!’ I am doing session via Zoom, facetime, skype or what ever is best for you.

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.

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.

As an accredited counsellor/psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and EMDR therapist, my utmost priority is understanding and meeting my clients' needs. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals of all ages can openly explore their thoughts and emotions. I am dedicated to tailoring my approach to suit each client's unique circumstances and providing support that is empathetic, genuine, and effective.

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing.

We can all at some time in our lives experience painful and traumatic feelings such as loss, depression, anxiety, and bereavement, which can create confusion surrounding the path you are on.

Together we can uncover ways in which you can develop your full potential and manifest a whole new way of being.

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.
