If you are thinking about or actively seeking counselling, Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling are a highly trained team of counsellors, psychologists and therapists who specialise in a range of counselling approaches.

When you begin your counselling sessions with any of our experienced and compassionate therapists, the focus is on helping you achieve your goals and helping you work through any difficulties that you might be facing.

Often, people seek counselling, whether face-to-face counselling in Newcastle or online counselling, for a range of reasons.

Here are some of the ways in which counselling can help.

Become Less Stressed (Stress Counselling)

Often people reach out for counselling due to persistent stress affecting their lives.

Stress is natural (and even helpful in small amounts), however high levels of stress can interfere with our mental and physical health both in the short term and long term.

As well as psychological effects, personal and work stress can both manifest in the body in the form of stomach aches, tension headaches, eczema, and other physical ways. Stress can even increase our experience of physical pain and make it worse (in fact, a number of people contact us to help learn effective psychological ways of coping with pain).

People of all any gender can experience chronic levels of stress and there are various stress counselling approaches that can help, including mindfulness meditation, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and more.

Improve Your Day to Day Life

The pandemic gave many of us lots of time away from doing and physical activity, and consequently led to many people reflecting on themselves and what they want life to look like.

When the lockdown restrictions were announced and here to stay for the long haul, many people became introspective and isolated. As well as impacting and exacerbating depression, anxiety, insomnia and a range of other problems, it also led to many thinking about their own general happiness.

Counselling is an effective way of working through any barriers that might be preventing you from performing at your best in day to day life.

By overcoming these barriers and working through any difficulties holding you back, counselling – whether through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) or any other effective counselling approaches, you can let go of barriers that might be sabotaging you, and improve your self-esteem and confidence.

Improve Your Relationships

Counselling in Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling’s clinic is a confidential and supportive process that allows you to feel comfortable exploring the way you feel, whether difficulties are related to personal experiences or difficulties with relationships (whether you are in a relationship or currently single).

Often our experiences can lead us to fall into patterns of behaviour that can sabotage relationships and our own happiness, and while this isn’t anyone’s fault it can cause problems in helping you open up to others or have the secure relationships that you want.

With the help of our counselling services in Newcastle, our counsellors will work with you to help you understand the way you relate to others, and help you develop ways to let go of painful experiences so that you can move forward with your life and develop better relationships.
