About me: Hi. I’m Nina. I’m a BACP-Registered integrative counsellor. A session with me provides: ✔ A safe, confidential & non-judgemental space for you to come just as you are. ✔ A space to be authentic. ✔ A space to be gentle. ✔ The freedom to say things you can’t say to others. ✔ Compassion, warmth, and a space to breathe. How it works: We can work together to explore where you are at right now, how you got here, and how to get you to where you want to be. During our work together, I will invite you to look inwards – with each session, we can look deeper than just beneath the surface. We can look deeper into who you are, and where you might be feeling stuck, blocked or confused. We can approach this without judgement or shame, but with curiosity, and kindness. Some questions we might reflect on might be: • "how have you been feeling lately?" • "what do you think might be causing this feeling?" • “what has changed for you recently?” • "is there something you find challenging about yourself or your situation?" • “what do you like/dislike about yourself?”, “who are you at your core?" • "what is it that people don't understand about you or what you are going through?"... In your sessions we can gently explore personal aspects of what is going on for you right now, who you feel that you are, how you relate to others, how others relate to you, and what parts or roles you play in your life. We can also look at your thought patterns, narratives, and inner scripts to give you real and tangible access to awareness/change. Once we find out the answers to some of these questions, we can work towards getting you to where you want to be, and help you to move forward. Unlike the NHS, I offer open-ended therapy, meaning that there is no strict limit on the number of sessions you can have with me. We will work together to find a number that is right for you. Training, qualifications & experience: Many years ago, I was going through a really tough time, and I decided to try out counselling for the first time. I was amazed at how helpful I found it. This led me to start working in mental health services and eventually train as a counsellor. I now hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and am currently doing further training for my Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I also have a certificate in online and telephone counselling, and a certificate of proficiency from the BACP. I love learning, and I am always trying to learn as many ways as possible to help others. In the past, I have worked within an NHS counselling setting and a few private counselling organisations. I have worked with different issues and emotions such as self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, issues with control, feelings of shame, guilt, anger, frustration, fear, “people-pleasing”, not feeling “good enough”, “finding a voice”, setting boundaries, trust issues, sadness, grief, trauma, pregnancy, motherhood, severe pregnancy sickness (Hyperemesis Gravidarum), miscarriage, abortion, sexual issues, medical issues, being a carer, disability, neurodiversity, job loss, faith, sexuality, attraction, identity, divorce and relationship breakdown, attachment issues, fear of the “unknown”. I am trained to work integratively. This means that I can draw on several different theories and approaches in our sessions together, and I tailor the session to you. In this way, we can work flexibly to find the best way for you. Sometimes we might talk about the past to discover how you came to be the person that you are today. Sometimes we will look at the present – what is going on for you right now? And sometimes we will look at creating goals for the future, and breaking these down to be more manageable. The beauty in the way that I work is that it is completely centred around you and what you bring to the sessions, and the ways in which you are comfortable working with me. Some of the approaches I may use include person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT, or other. 🌟 Book a free call now to find out more… 🌟 https://calendly.com/nina-c-2-b0zj/30min You can also check out my website here: ninacurtiscounsellingandtherapies.co.uk more
