Katie B Counselling

I am a fully trained, qualified and insured counsellor. Face to face counselling offered within Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.

On line or telephone counselling offered nationwide. You may be looking for a Counsellor because you have noticed you are feeling anxious, down or depressed. You may have experienced a bereavement which you are struggling to come to terms with or you are facing a dilemma in your personal life and you don't know where to turn. May be you are looking for someone to talk to and be heard without any judgement. If any of this sounds familiar I can help. Talking to someone and being heard can be a very powerful experience and this is something I provide for you. I work with individuals aged 13 years and over on a variety of issues. I am experienced of working with people who have suffered bereavement or a loss as well as with other problems that may be having an impact on your mental health. My aim is to give my clients the choice as to how we work together. I offer face to face, on line or telephone counselling to give you the choice that is best for you. The first step is to make contact with me and I will arrange a telephone appointment with you where you can explore with me the type of help I can provide.

Last post this week about bullying.

Bullying impacts can go on and on. That experience may have shaped how you feel about yourself and these have stayed with you since then.

It’s good to challenge those beliefs. They weren’t true. ❤️❤️❤️

Reach out for some support.

Bullying can have such a long term impact and I am not sure that is always appreciated by everyone.

Any significant life event we go through can linger with us for many years. Bullying is one of those experiences - it can really change the way we think about ourselves and that can stay with us long after the bullying has ended.

Talking helps us by healing. It can help us challenge these self beliefs we have built up from other people’s messages about us.

One of the most significant impacts of being bullied is the damage it does to our self-worth. We can start to believe that there is something wrong with us - we deserve what’s happening to us.

But that’s really not true.

If you are feeling anxious or fearful around certain people it is definitely worth exploring more.

Counselling can give us space to do this. It can help us reflect on our experiences and listen to the emotions we are experiencing.

Please do get in touch if you would like more information ❤️❤️❤️

Today marks the beginning of the anti bullying week organised by the anti bullying alliance with the focus on Power for Good. This week schools will be taking part in this initiative. However, this week is also a good opportunity for us to raise the awareness of bullying in adulthood and the longer term impacts of being bullied.

I have had my own personal experience of being bullied and it was a horrible experience which has had a real impact on how I think about myself. Even many years later I find it difficult to describe it as bullying instead believing I had done something wrong and deserved this treatment. I will be having a little chat about this later in the week.

We need to remember always that it’s not our fault.

This year the awareness week is about Power to the good. It’s a reminder for us all to call out bullying if we see it.

If you have been impacted by being bullied more recently or historically and you are struggling with the impacts, counselling is a great place to work through it. You don’t have to experience this on your own.

This week is stress awareness week so I thought it would be good to talk about how we notice we are stressed. Do you know the signs?

Some people love a bit of stress in their lives - they say they thrive on it. Others hate even a little of stress as it can really impact their motivation.

Whichever one you are there will be a point where stress becomes too much. Your body will try and get your attention first to tell you this important information. The question is how much do you listen to it?

Personally I know I can become a little bit grumpy and impatient with others. I might start to have headaches and I often feel stress in my stomach. How about you? Where do you notice it?

If we don’t get on top of stress can really have a physical and mental impact on ourself. We can start looking at anxiety, low mood, withdrawal from others etc.

So how do you notice your stress levels?

Counselling & therapy can really help if you are struggling with stress. It can help us identify where we are stressed and how we might do something about it. It can help us become curious about how stress might be impacting us. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more.

Over 14 years ago I had finished my own personal journey with counselling and found out I didn’t need to live with anxiety every day - that it wasn’t a personality trait. I decided it was time to do something for me. I knew I wanted to be a counsellor so I started at the open university and eventually found myself on the CPCAB training courses.

So here I am now. Working full time as a counsellor with a busy full practice.

It always sounds a bit strange to say I love my job because of what we actually do - but I really do. I love seeing how much counselling/therapy can help you with your lives.

Joining a little community on instagram has also been amazing. Working as a counsellor in private practice can be isolating and this is when social media helps us to connect with like minded supportive people.

So 🥂to you all this week.

Ps don’t forget if you are looking a for a counsellor who can work online to help you with anxiety, overthinking, panic attacks and low self confidence please do drop me a line. 😘😘

Self-awareness ✅
New information ✅
New understanding ✅
Feeling quite uncomfortable ✅✅✅✅

You might be wondering why you feel so uncomfortable and not quite right.

Self awareness can bring a lot of information to your door. Sometimes we might learn something that challenges all those beliefs we had. That takes some time to get used to.

So (as is always the case) self care will be the key. Kindness and compassion to yourself will go a long way.

A little additional chat about self-awareness & why I think it’s important.

Usually most people head into counselling because they want to make changes in their lives - either practical changes or changes to our feelings. From there many of us think by being critical about ourselves we will easily make those changes. But guess what - that doesn’t always work!!

Self-awareness brings understanding which we can then use to potentially help us accept ourselves, give ourselves compassion and may be lead to the changes we need.

If you want to know more drop me a message ❤️❤️

Self-awareness isn’t about finding out what’s wrong with you - it’s about giving us understanding which will help us with the self-compassion we need.

If your reflections often leave you feeling worse - you are probably slipping into self-review instead.
