Denise Longhurst MBACP - Adults, Couples, Young Adults, Trauma Therapy. Online.

Hello,

Are you feeling sad, depressed, anxious, confused or angry? Are you struggling with overwhelming feelings or stress? Are you having relationship difficulties in your personal or work life? Perhaps you have always been the strong one and now you find yourself overwhelmed and anxious, unsure who to turn to. Please be assured that you are not alone and help is available to you.

I have a range of experience with people from all walks of life. I have a private practice where I see adults and couples. I am experienced in helping both adults and older teenagers with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, panic disorders, grief, stress, trauma and low self worth. Many people find relief in talking to me about their feelings and exploring their unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behaviours. Clients often start to feel more in control of their lives and more optimistic about their future, as well as increasing their understanding of their emotions and thoughts.

I am often told I am warm, empathic, safe to be with and easy to talk to. I can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore what’s going on for you. I will listen wholeheartedly to you, help you to discover your own inner resources and identify patterns in your thinking, feeling and behaviour. If you woud like it, I can also offer a range of other techniques such as creative work, mindfulness and creative writing to support you. These resources are optional. You can feel empowered to make your own decisions about your future and be the person you want to be, not the person you ought to be, or have always been. I also offer a specific 4 stage trauma therapy treatment plan. Please contact me for more details on this.

I understand how difficult it can be to pick up the phone or send an email asking for support so I would like to offer you a free initial consultation to discuss your personal requirements. In this session we can discuss what you would like to achieve and how I can support you with this. I work on a long term or short term basis, depending on your needs, and we can agree this when we meet. There will be no obligation to continue. You may not know at the moment what your goal is, and that is absolutely fine - we can always review this as we go along. Reaching out for support is often an achievement in itself, so well done for getting this far and please do contact me if you have any questions.

I am fully insured and complete regular professional training. I am supervised by a UKCP registered Psychotherapist/Supervisor. I am also a member of professional bodies UKATA, EATA and BACP and adhere to their code of ethics and professional practice.

For a limited time, I am offering a discounted rate for couples who would like online couples counselling. I will offer you both a safe space to explore your difficulties and I will help facilitate communication between you. I currently have two spaces available at time of writing, please contact me for details.

I look forward to hearing from you

Dee
