Why Work With Us

Lauren

Hi there, my name is Lauren, I’m a fully qualified person-centred counsellor also offering CBT.  I realise that people seek counselling for a multitude of reasons. By respecting your individual nature and situation I am able to offer a non- judgemental and empathic environment which can help to enable you in sharing and exploring any problems you may be experiencing and potential ways forward.

Counselling offers you the opportunity to consider issues that are impacting your life in a safe and confidential space.
The counselling relationship is a unique one, being truly heard by another can be transformative, offering the chance for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself which in turn can empower you and  assist in overcoming problems.

I have worked within NHS settings previously with individuals presenting with a wide range of issues, I also have particular experience working with survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse.  I offer short and long-term counselling and will tailor my approach to suit your individual needs.

Geri

​I offer counselling to individuals and have worked with both men and women successfully.  I offer supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors in different locations around Lincolnshire.  I work from my home in the beautiful North East Lincolnshire countryside and in Louth Lincolnshire. Please let me know your preferred location when you contact me.
Counselling can be useful for many issues, some examples of these issues are:-
  • family pressures and not knowing if an individual can cope with all of the pressures. I have worked with these issues and helping clients discuss, prioritise in a safe place where clients can change the places of things a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, some fit then they don't so we change them around till they feel right. This can be really useful to help your mind make sense of theses issues.
  • Work pressures can be a big issue for people, first is taking some time to identify the real problem areas. From my experience clients come with what they think is the problem and after some time counselling identify the real problem and we can then work together to help achieve a solution more affectively.
I am a fully qualified CBT therapist, Person-Centred Counsellor with a BA (hons) Degree, registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have worked within the NHS voluntary sector for several years and with victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence at a leading charity in Lincolnshire for many years.

I offer a counselling service and supervision for short and long term counselling, dependant upon individual clients requirements. Counselling is able to help for a wide range of issues from depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, bereavement and pre-bereavement counselling and much more.

My aim as a Person Centred/integrative Counsellor is to offer my clients a non-judgemental and safe environment to explore their issues that may be blocking them from being who they want to be. Many issues can affect us all with todays busy lives and having a safe, confidential environment to share, explore and resolve these issues can help clients to move life forwards to a place their happy with.

I appreciate individualism in all of my clients and therefore tailor my counselling to best fit my clients needs.

Counselling does not always need to be sought when your problems are so bad you can hardly cope with what life throws at you, counselling can be used to manage your problems before they get too bad. Please contact me and let me help you get on the right track.

I am based in North Cotes, near Grimsby, Louth.

What is Counselling and What can Counselling do for you ? 


​Person Centred Counselling is a non-directive approach;  allowing you time and space to work on whatever issues you want to bring to the session to talk about and explore your feelings around.  Using the core conditions, Empathy, Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR) and Congruence can enable you to achieve your basic and mental health needs. 
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is still a talking therapy which can help you look at what is troubling you.  It focuses more directly on thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and behaviour. CBT works to help you with some coping mechanisms to help you meet your needs and we can teach coping skills for dealing with different problems.

You don't have to deal with your problems alone
