About me

Pauline Wallace Counselling - A safe space to be heard.

Hi, welcome and thank you for viewing my professional counselling profile page.

Are you excited about 2018?  Or perhaps you are struggling with anxiety and stress, Bereavement or something else?  I can help.

I can offer you a safe space, one to one counselling,  in which to explore your thoughts and feelings to find the best way to support you, help you to express your emotional pain and find your inner resources to deal with what is troubling you. If you struggle to find the words, there are many creative ways to express thoughts and feelings. There is a lot of power in being  able to talk to a counsellor confidentially, knowing that anything you say will not be judged. It can be life changing.

Is something worrying you? Are you are struggling with  Loss, Bereavement, Sadness, Anxiety, Stress, Anger, Shame, Depression or a particularly stressful situation

We all need help at times to deal with whatever life throws at us. Emotional Distress shows up in many ways and can have a huge impact on our lives. It may cause difficulties with relationships at home and at work. It can impact on self-worth and self- esteem.

I understand that asking for help can be difficult; you have already taken a courageous step by looking for a Counsellor who seems like a good fit for you. Talking about your concerns doesn't make you weak; it makes you human.  I strongly believe that our mental health is as important as our physical health, and one can affect the other.  Attitudes to  Mental health are beginning to change with recent news items;  particularly helped recently by Prince Harry stating that mental health must be taken seriously.

I am experienced in running counselling groups and this can be less intimidating for some people than being in a one to one session.  I run counselling groups in conjunction with Square Pegs Charity in North Cross Street, Gosport on a Wednesday evening, 7 - 9 pm. The groups are small with a maximum of 8 people. They are running for 4 weeks at a time as a closed group so that people can get to know and trust each other. The cost is £20 for the 4 weeks, payable in advance to Square Pegs: hello@squarepegscharity.org.  The next group commences on 29th November 2017.

Please contact me for further details on running counselling groups.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy  and abide by their Code of Ethics. I have  over twenty years experience of working with people with a terminal illness and also working with the bereaved for those family and friends who are left behind. I have comfortable rooms in Emsworth, Gosport and Portsmouth, all with nearby Car Parks.

What we discuss will remain confidential unless you or a minor are in danger from harm.  I would always attempt to discuss this with you first.

I believe that the relationship in therapy is extremely important and I therefore offer an initial free 20 minute consultation.  This will help you to decide if I am the right counsellor for you.

To arrange an appointment please e-mail me and I will contact you as soon as possible.
