Counselling

Armorel Wood

Therapy Services Offered:
• Counselling and CBT

I am a retired doctor and a qualified Integrative Counsellor. Registered member BACP and accredited member NCS and work within the ethical framework of the BACP.

We all have times in our lives when things don’t seem to be going so well; a time when we have difficulty coping with daily routines, feel stressed and anxious, low in mood or generally fatigued. Sometimes we can identify a trigger but sometimes the cause is more elusive. I am here to listen, not judge, and provide a safe space for you to offload and explore your difficulties. Perhaps, get you to look at things in a different way, think differently and offer you tools to manage physical and psychological symptoms and help reduce your distress. I cannot fix things for you, as I don’t have a magic wand!, but often I can assist you to have more control over your thoughts, feeling and actions and metaphorically ‘walk beside you for a while’ so that together we can find a way out of your ‘fog of distress’ and find a new way forward.

I work long or short term with adults with issues of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, I have particular experience and specialist training in bereavement and loss, menopause, chronic and terminal illness, and fibromyalgia/persistent pain. Client centred therapy is at the core of my sessions, but I integrate other models of therapy to suit the client, including hypnotherapy, guided imagery, solution focussed therapy and CBT.

I offer a unique blend of medical knowledge combined with an ability to empathise with your emotional pain. This enables me to have the ability to explain and explore with you the interconnection between mind and body and the effect each can have on the other. My bereavement experience has given me an understanding of the overwhelming effect loss of a loved one can have on one’s life. Losses affect us all throughout our lives; loss of youth; loss of career; loss of health; loss of freedom; loss of a relationship. I offer the time to explore with you the effects these losses may have had on your well-being and help you integrate them into your lives in a healthy way and move forward.

Samantha Blackmore

Therapy Services Offered:
• Counselling and CYP

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor who offers a safe space to explore areas of your life that you may be struggling with. Unresolved emotions that haven’t been processed, can create unhelpful thought patterns which can impact on our behaviours and influence our sense of self.  Within a trusting and non judgemental relationship you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings which helps build your self awareness. Talking therapy can be a way of sharing your concerns, making sense of them so that you can find better ways to manage your emotions. 
 
I have experience working with children and young people, ages 5-18 as well as adults with a range of issues including anxiety, bereavement, self harm, suicide and relationships to name a few. I also have experiences working with people who have ADHD, ASD, those who have experienced trauma and children and young people who are in care or have been adopted.

She has delivered a speech to HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and was presented with the Marsh Trust Award, recognising her as an ‘Exceptional Individual in the Field of Recovery.’ She featured in a Channel 5 documentary about alcohol, and was a keynote speaker at the National Women’s Register Conference in 2023, smashing the stigma of addiction.

But Anna isn’t all about suits and accolades. She’s got 16 years of addiction-related experience, having worked for many years as a counsellor at some of the UK’s most prestigious treatment centres: Clouds House (Forward Trust) in Wiltshire and Providence Projects in Bournemouth. In one of her more colorful roles, Anna was the Senior Coordinator of the Amy Winehouse Foundation Resilience Programme. Here, she helped volunteers in recovery from substance misuse share their life stories in school assemblies, delivering workshops on self-esteem, peer pressure and risky behaviour.

When it comes to seeking counselling, Anna’s the one to turn to. Now in Private Practice, she offers one-on-one online and face-to-face counselling in a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgement. She understands how nerve-wracking reaching out for help can be because she’s done it herself. Anna got into recovery from alcoholism in 2007. She is serious about your wellbeing, but always light-hearted about life.

Anna’s expertise is the Addictions, from wine to Wifi, beer to binge-watching and all other compulsive behaviours. She works with families around any addiction issues they are experiencing with a loved one.

Nikki Pattern

Therapy Services Offered:
• Anxiety, Trauma, Abuse, PTSD, Bereavement & ADHD Counselling

Firstly, from one human being to another, I would like to say how proud I am of you for looking for some support. It’s not easy to admit when we might need some help, or to actively seek it out. It’s a really big step. Take your time, you’re in control of what happens next, so do things at your own pace. Trauma can have such an impact on every part of our lives. It’s never easy, but taking control back is a great step forward.

It takes great courage to consider looking for some professional help. I have a background in anxiety, trauma, abuse, PTSD, bereavement, and ADHD. I’m here to help with whatever is causing you concern in a warm, safe, non-judgmental, supportive place. My aim in therapy is to offer you a safe space where you can look at what’s going on for you, explore what you want and find ways to manage this and move on.

I believe the transformations that can happen within counselling can be life-changing. When you open up, share, and reflect on the inner workings of your world with someone, amazing things can happen. With the support of the right person, you can understand, process, and overcome the things that have seemed insurmountable for so long.

My work is with adults over 18, face-to-face, online and over the telephone. I’m a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. This means I am qualified in helping clients with ADHD overcome their emotional, behavioural, relationship and achievement challenges so they can thrive in life. 

Before dedicating myself to counselling, I worked in the NHS for over 20 years. In my NHS job, I specialised in supporting people who had long-term physical health problems such as chronic pain and fatigue, cancer, strokes, and heart issues, among other problems.

In addition to my private practice, I volunteered with Macmillan and Cruse Bereavement Services, offering counselling to people with life-limiting illness, cancer and those who have been bereaved. 

I offer a free 20 minute introduction telephone call so we can have a chat, answer any questions you may have and see if we feel like a good fit for working together.
