I am currently still offering all three methods of counselling online, telephone and face to face. If you do however choose face to face I will for safety purposes check your temperature upon arrival, ask you to hand sanitise and may ask you to wear a mask. I also have a room which allows for two metres of social distancing, have a glass partition in the room and regularly disinfect the room before and after each and every client. Given the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak there will naturally be quite an impact on peoples’ psychological and emotional states and as well as their relationships. It’s important for all of us to recognise the issues resulting from this pandemic and be open to reaching out to others to help reduce symptoms and gain support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/1600851804257-2QGAOC5CX8O0H7PALA3Q/image-asset.jpeg COVID-19 - Common reactions to Covid-19 might be: Anxiety Bereavement Stress Loss of normal life patterns; loss of contact with friends and family Relationship difficulties Depression Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Anger issues Feeling lost Anxiety around returning to work or social events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/1601287740950-27RQSXK7T7UC94DGZVWD/image-asset.jpeg COVID-19 - How can Person Centred Counselling help?

I am a trained Person Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist who works with adults over the age of 16. Life can be challenging for us all at some point and can push us to our limits. We all can struggle to cope and feel weighed down by life issues. I will be there to support you in a non-judgemental, safe and compassionate way that suits you best, and plan to work together towards your goals – whether that may be to make a change in your life, looking for validation, contentment, peace, happiness or simply to regain your self-worth and confidence again. Or it may just be you are looking to share your story… I can help with a wide range of difficulties such as depression, general anxiety disorder, social anxiety, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, stress, work-related stress, self-harm, low self-esteem / self-confidence, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, trauma, childhood emotional neglect, burnout, bereavement, bullying, individual relationship difficulties, family issues. I am particularly passionate around issues relating to neurodiversity such as ADHD or Autism. I tend to have a high proportion of Neurodivergent clients and despite being a Neurotypical myself I see myself as a Neurodivergent advocate. I often help Neurodivergent clients with self-care, burnout, setting boundaries, regaining their confidence, anxiety, exploring their identity and understanding themselves / others better. I often support clients pre, during and post diagnosis as well. I am also experienced in working with those who are currently facing or recovering from Narcissistic abuse or any form of gas lighting. I deeply understand the importance of slowly building your confidence and regaining a sense of identity after having experienced this type of abuse. In addition to the above, I specialise in CEN (childhood emotional neglect) and closely follow the work of Jonice Webb in this regard. I have also volunteered as a counsellor at an Aberdeen charitable organisation for a number of years. This charity supports the community on issues such as homelessness, unemployment, education / learning and mental health. I have always felt it a privilege that clients share their lives and experiences with me, and therefore fully understand the need and importance of confidentiality to each and every client. I see my business as my vocation and not just work. https://www.aberdeenbespokecounselling.co.uk/mission daily 0.75 2020-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/1601288375789-1Z8S6OJAJF373NOU1ODN/image-asset.jpeg Mission - Mission My mission is to provide generalist counselling to adults over the age of 16 from diverse and varying socio-economic backgrounds. I feel privileged to walk alongside my clients as they find their way through the challenge’s life has put in their paths. I am there to help clients better face and cope with problems, explore issues together and empower and motivate in whatever situation a client may face. I will be there to support my clients and provide a non-judgemental, safe and compassionate environment. I aim to help each and every client in a way that suits them best and be beside them in stepping towards their goal whether that be change, contentment, peace, happiness, validation or just simply to regain confidence, self-esteem, self-worth or just share their story and be believed. https://www.aberdeenbespokecounselling.co.uk/cookie-policy daily 0.75 2020-09-28 https://www.aberdeenbespokecounselling.co.uk/services/aberdeen/online-counselling daily 0.75 2023-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/5ed05d35-475f-4bf1-aaa0-f6d115b9a8cb/COSCA-1024x941.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/aade6277-2a23-4ae1-8588-e8241f8dd83a/bacp-logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/721c489b-1072-4067-90ab-b9f315709ff3/unsplash-image-HJmxky8Fvmo.jpg Online - Who is this for? Whilst some people may initially be cautious about seeking therapy online, studies show that in most cases client outcomes, symptom improvement and satisfaction are the same for online therapy compared to face to face. Online counselling is a form of therapy that is conducted over the internet. As long as you have a trustworthy wifi connection, laptop/iPad or smart phone with a camera and sound, and ideally an email account to receive the invite link you will be good to go. Online counselling can be an effective way for people to receive help for a whole variety of mental health issues, struggles or just some of life’s challenges. It can also be a more convenient way for people who have difficulty with transportation, live out with the city centre, commute to different cities, have any physical limitations, experience high levels of anxiety or panic attacks or even people who just lead incredibly busy lives, to receive help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/0cf002b6-7f5c-48ee-b9dd-f9b75b4f27cb/unsplash-image-Hcfwew744z4.jpg Online - What can you expect?

Telephone counselling is a form of counselling that takes place over the phone (mobile, via messaging app or landline) at a pre-determined time. It is also a good solution for those who may feel more comfortable being on the phone than in person, know they may open up more on the phone or may not like or feel comfortable with the internet. Telephone counselling has similar benefits to that of online counselling. These include - no travel complications, travel costs, weather interruptions, difficulties leaving home, and a higher level of anonymity. Also, for those in rural areas, or commute between cities, or travel regularly – the sessions can still be easily accessible. Remember to make sure your mobile phone is fully charged before your session! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/da7691e9-0808-4c9a-ba46-d3832e2eb88b/website1.jpg Telephone - What can you expect?

Being in a room with someone may help to set an environment which encourages good, trusting and collaborative rapport. Human presence and contact can also help with issues such as depression, anxiety or isolation. Receiving those face to face empathetic gestures could make a big difference to someone who has been suffering alone or spends a lot of time alone. The more delicate or personal issues such as abuse or gas lighting may also be beneficial face to face, as it may feel safer and more confidential. It can also enable you to develop your communication skills in a safe environment and often is seen as a more personal form of counselling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b04612fa416275cb362fb/da7691e9-0808-4c9a-ba46-d3832e2eb88b/website1.jpg Face to Face - What can you expect?
