Life brings many challenges, and, understandably, at times we might look for support in facing them. As a counsellor my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self-discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it.
I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together, we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives - and perhaps a new understanding of yourself.
Counselling isn’t about giving you solutions or advice but empowering you to make your own changes.
My approach to therapy is a person-centred one. This is a non-judgmental way of working, where the counsellor creates the right conditions to help someone increase their self-awareness;
to move towards - and reach - their fullest potential.
Treat Your Anxiety With Professional Counselling
Anxiety is often a common and healthy human emotion. However, some people may experience higher levels of anxiety more frequently, negatively impacting their day-to-day life with anything from general nervousness to panic attacks. This potentially could be a medical anxiety disorder.
Excess feelings of anxiety should by no means make you feel isolated - anxiety impacts 8 in 100 people in the UK, ranging from mild anxiety to severe cases. If not professionally treated with appropriate counselling or therapy, anxiety disorders can worsen over time.
Do You Suffer From Anxiety?
In our modern world, I believe a great majority of people in the UK could benefit from some form of anxiety counselling. There is no wrong time to start sorting through your thoughts. However, if you are experiencing the following symptoms, I would highly recommend getting in contact so we can begin your journey to a calmer mind:
Attachments are forming emotional bonds and enjoyable relationships with others. This is especially true when it comes to close family members. Insecure attachment can start very early in life, leading to attachment issues, where the person may have problems forming relationships throughout their lives. Children displaying attachment issues may benefit from spending time with an attachment therapist.
Attachment is something that carried on throughout life. Most children will develop secure and healthy attachments to their mother or primary care giver from birth. Children who have secure attachments show strong attachment to their mothers, while those with insecure attachments present a host of unhealthy reactions, some being angry with the mother when she returns from work, for example.
Attachment Issues
Anxiety therapy has shown to be effective with various attachment issues. The bond is formed when a child is first form, often with the primary caregiver. Attachment problems usually result from being separated from parents at a very early age, maybe due to hospitalisation, trauma or neglect. All these things have an impact on how the child forms healthy attachments throughout their life. My attachment therapy is effective for children, including those that have been adopted or fostered at a later age. These issues often occur in children that are moved from one caregiver to another.
A child avoiding eye contact, avoiding physical contact, rejecting emotional connections, inconsolable crying and trying to self comfort themselves could be suffering from attachment issues and could benefit from anxiety counselling.

Psychology has played a large role in the understanding and treatment of autism. At Novissimo Counselling, I have more than seventeen years of experience as a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, working with adults and children with autism, offering effective autism therapy in, UK.
Autism Therapy
Psychotherapy uses speaking as a way to manage autism. Cognitive behavioural therapy is often used for those with anxiety, addiction and stress, but it also proved useful for those with autism, helping them understand how actions and reactions are seen by those around them.
Using applied behavioural analysis, which uses rewards to reinforce preferred actions and answers is often used as a way to successfully treat those with autism. This form of autism counselling is no speaking. Therapeutic interventions help to improve the psychological functioning through behaviour, which can be done in one on one session both in person or online.
What I Can Do To Help
As a psychotherapist, I am involved in working with children and adults with autism. My autism counselling involves evaluation and ongoing assessment. I use a host of techniques to work with the patient helping them understand how their actions and reactions are perceived by those around them. I can help children learn how to engage with peers and manage their stress.

Trauma is a response to a specific event where you find yourself highly stressed. This may be a natural disaster, accident or being in a war zone. Trauma doesn’t only cause emotional symptoms, it can also cause physical symptoms.
Due to everyone being different, you may not experience trauma from a stressful event, but the next person may. Most people who do develop symptoms find that they disappear on their own after a few weeks, but then there are those that are living with long term effects who should seek out trauma therapy in UK.
Type of Trauma
As a qualified professional in trauma counselling, I see a number of trauma cases annually, these include acute cases, which result from a single event to chronic cases, which are often caused by prolonged and repeated exposure to stressful events.
