Problems Treated at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling
Anxiety and worry are among the most common reasons people seek therapy.
While some level of anxiety is a normal part of life, excessive or persistent worry can become overwhelming and have a significant impact on daily functioning.
Our team offers specialist support for a range of anxiety-related difficulties, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Health Anxiety using approaches such as CBT and ACT to help you reduce worry and regain a sense of calm.
Depression is more than feeling sad. It can affect your energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, and ability to enjoy things that once brought you pleasure.
Left untreated, it can have a significant impact on every area of life.
Our therapists offer specialist depression counselling in Newcastle, drawing on evidence-based approaches including CBT and Compassion Focused Therapy to help you understand your low mood and begin to feel better.
Relationship difficulties can arise at any stage and affect any type of relationship.
Whether you are struggling with communication, trust, conflict, or intimacy, talking to a professional can help you gain clarity and find a way forward.
We offer specialist relationship counselling and couples therapy in Newcastle for individuals and couples, addressing a wide range of interpersonal difficulties in a safe and non-judgemental space.
Children and young people can struggle with a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and social difficulties that benefit from professional support.
Our team includes specialist child counsellors and psychologists with extensive experience working with younger clients.
We provide support for a range of childhood difficulties, including Childhood Anger Management, Attachment Difficulties, Behaviour Issues, Bullying, and School Refusal.
OCD is characterised by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) carried out to relieve the anxiety those thoughts produce.
For those suffering from OCD, it can be exhausting and significantly disruptive to daily life.
Our therapists have specialist experience in treating OCD using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and ACT amongst others.
Poor sleep can have a profound effect on mood, concentration, physical health, and overall quality of life.
Sleep difficulties can take many forms, including insomnia, early morning waking, nightmares, and disrupted sleep patterns.
Our specialist sleep therapists also offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment that addresses the underlying causes of sleep difficulties rather than just the symptoms.
Stress is one of the most common difficulties people face, and work-related stress in particular has become increasingly prevalent.
While some stress can be motivating, chronic stress can lead to burnout, anxiety, physical health problems, and relationship difficulties.
Our therapists offer practical, effective support for stress management in Newcastle, helping you identify the sources of your stress, develop healthier coping strategies, and restore a sense of balance.
Trauma can result from a wide range of experiences, including accidents, abuse, bereavement, or witnessing distressing events.
When the effects of trauma are not processed, they can develop into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), causing flashbacks, nightmares, and persistent distress.
Our therapists have specialist training in trauma-focused therapies including EMDR and trauma-focused CBT, both of which are recommended by NICE for the treatment of PTSD.
Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes difficult to control it can cause significant harm to relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.
Whether your anger presents as outbursts, irritability, or a persistent sense of resentment, our therapists can help.
We offer specialist anger management counselling in Newcastle, using evidence-based approaches to help you understand what triggers your anger and develop effective strategies for managing it.
Losing someone or something important to us can be one of the most painful experiences we go through.
Grief can present in many ways, including sadness, anger, guilt, or a sense of numbness, and there is no single right way to grieve.
Our counsellors provide compassionate bereavement support in Newcastle, offering a safe space to process your loss at your own pace and find a way forward.
Living with chronic pain or a long-term physical health condition can take a significant toll on mental wellbeing.
Feelings of frustration, loss, anxiety, and depression are common, and psychological support can play an important role in managing the impact.
Our therapists use approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT to help you manage the psychological effects of pain and illness, and improve your quality of life.
Low self-esteem can affect every area of life, from relationships and work to how you feel about yourself day to day.
It often develops gradually over time and can be rooted in past experiences, critical relationships, or long-held negative beliefs about yourself.
Our confidence counselling in Newcastle helps you challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build a more positive sense of self, and develop the confidence to engage more fully with life.
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that can affect people of all ages and backgrounds.
People who struggle with eating often involve difficult relationships with food, body image, and self-worth, and can have serious consequences for physical and emotional health.
Our experienced therapists provide sensitive, specialist support for a range of eating disorders, working with you to address the underlying difficulties and develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.
A phobia is an intense, persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that leads to avoidance behaviour and significant distress.
Phobias can be highly limiting, preventing people from living their lives freely and confidently.
Our therapists offer effective treatment for a wide range of phobias, using techniques such as CBT and graded exposure to help you reduce fear and regain confidence.
Domestic abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse.
It can happen to anyone, and the effects can be long-lasting and deeply damaging to mental health and self-worth.
At Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling, we offer compassionate and confidential support for survivors of domestic abuse, helping you process your experiences, rebuild confidence, and move forward safely.
Attachment difficulties in adults often develop as a result of early childhood experiences and can affect the way we form and maintain relationships throughout life.
They can lead to problems such as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, or feeling emotionally disconnected from those closest to you.
Our therapists are experienced in working with adult attachment difficulties, helping you understand the roots of your patterns and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to others.
Performance anxiety, loss of confidence, and mental blocks can all affect athletes and performers at any level.
Sports psychology addresses the mental side of performance, helping you develop the psychological skills needed to perform consistently and under pressure.
Our Specialist Sports Psychologist works with athletes and teams across a wide range of disciplines, providing tailored support to improve focus, resilience, motivation, and overall mental performance.
