Counselling, Psychotherapy & Coaching 
 
Sudbury Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

My offer to you

Dear fellow human,

Perhaps you have landed on this page because you are finding life tough at the moment?  When you're struggling it's often hard to know who to talk to.  Sometimes friends and family are not enough.  Sometimes they may even be, or add to, the problem. 

Perhaps recent times and difficult life experiences have left you feeling overwhelmed, lacking in focus and with little belief in yourself and your abilities?  Maybe you cannot rid yourself of anxious thoughts, worries or fears, or have developed unhelpful habits? Sadly, you may have experienced a traumatic event, or series of events, and are stuck in that heightened emotional state? You might not even understand the reason; you just know that you aren't coping emotionally and mentally.....

Welcome, my name is Anita.  I run a private counselling, and psychotherapy practice both in West Suffolk and online in the UK, and I'd like to help you. By reading this you have already taken that difficult, scary (and often hardest) step in accepting that you need help.  Of course the next step is finding the right person to help.  This can be a challenge in itself, so I'd like to make it a little easier:

My Approach

I take an integrative approach to helping you through difficult times in life.  I adapt my approach according to what you need, what you are comfortable with and what you respond to.  In my experience one size really doesn't fit all because, although we may share many similarities as human beings, each and every one of us unique. Our different identities, personalities, sexualities, skills and belief systems are shaped by many factors, including our lived experiences, our family systems, our access to (and experience of) education, our experience of our race, our culture, our collective history and our experience within society in general. All this impacts how we are in the world, our sense of self, our relationships, and our physical and emotional wellbeing. Given this, we are each as unique as the next person.  So, over the last thirteen or so years, I have trained in and worked with many different aspects of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching and have experience working with adults of all ages, from sixth form/college students just starting out in adult life, to those in or approaching retirement - each facing their own different circumstances, challenges and reality of life.

Just as importantly, I'm only human too. I have myself experienced prolonged, life-changing complex trauma, loss and adversity, so I have a very real appreciation for what it is like to struggle emotionally, mentally and even physically - and to need that extra helping hand.  But I also know the inner understanding, strength, resilience and hope that, with the right support, can grow from life's tough roller-coaster ride.

On this website you will find more information about me and the therapies I offer.  However, you are the expert on you, so when you choose me as your therapist and are open to trusting the process, we will work as a team to find what helps you to best achieve the outcome you wish for.  

My Offer

I am a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship is key to a successful outcome, so it's important that you choose the right therapist for you.  I would therefore like to offer you a FREE 20 minute initial consultation (via telephone or Zoom) before starting therapy with me. This no obligation 'discovery session', gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have, and gain a sense of how you can work with me before booking your first full session.

If you like what you read, please check out my current availability on the home page and if that suits, why not get in touch so that I can help you move forward in life, and achieve the best possible outcome for you. 

I look forward to hearing from, talking to and meeting you, whether face-to-face or online - the choice is yours.

With warmest wishes,

Anita
