Stacey Brown

Are you feeling anxious and depressed, but too ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it? Do you force a smile on your brave face and try and carry on but inside your are feeling a sense of loss and despair?

I can help you make a lasting change.

Hi, my name is Stacey and I am fully qualified and NCPS Accredited. I offer an integrative approach to therapy for adults and young people. I work with adults in range of settings including local charities and also provide a counselling service in local schools so have a extensive experience and knowledge around teenage issues.

My aim as a therapist is to build trusting and empathic relationships with my clients. Our lives can become stressful and overwhelming at times. Things get on top of us and it seems impossible to find peace and balance again. We may have some difficult feelings or past hurts that are stopping us from moving forward. We feel stuck.

Do you feel anxious, find yourself worrying excessively or putting everyone else's needs before your own? Would you like to feel more confident? Calmer and more in control of your life? 

How I work.

As an experienced counsellor, I offer a welcoming and accepting space to work through any feelings that may be holding you back and stopping you living a fulfilled life. By exploring your thoughts together, we can look at effective ways to manage any difficult emotions and develop more confidence, this will give you back the control over your life that you are looking for. 

I am trained in a variety of theories and counselling approaches so that our work together is tailored to your individual needs as everyone is different. The sessions are 50 minutes long, are generally held weekly or fortnightly and are client led so you can talk to me confidentially at your own pace. I can help you to gain perspective and understanding about what is going on for you and we can look at any goals for your life you may have and how best to work towards them.

Often what has happened to us in the past can provide clues about the problems we are dealing with in the present. Equally, we can be hit by an unexpected life event that we need support to process, so I aim to sit alongside my clients, offering them empathy, acceptance and a safe space to explore what is troubling them.

How counselling can help.

Many people believe that counselling is only for serious problems but in my experience therapy can be of benefit for many different issues that we can experience in our lives because it can help us to gain insight and awareness which leads to understanding of why we think and behave in certain ways. Armed with this newly gained self knowledge we can feel empowered to make changes for the better.

How many sessions will I need ?

It really depends on your issue, so for example some problems may need only a few sessions to gain a fresh perspective on whatever is troubling you, whilst deep rooted issues may need more sessions. As everything is client led you can determine what is best for you and we can discuss it as we go along. All the work we do will be collaborative with your needs at its heart.
