More about Ursula

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am registered in the UK and have experience working to support clients across a wide range of issues, including, for example, relationship and family issues, young person related issues, parenting struggles, historic and current abuse, anxiety and low self esteem, life phase transitions and many others. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. The relationship between client and counsellor is of prime importance for the therapeutic journey. I recognise that taking the first step to sign up for support can take a lot of courage at times when we may feel unsure. Thank you for taking that first step to finding the support you need.

I am currently training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Working with the felt sense in the body is a way to establish a sense of being grounded and safe, which enables us to work with some difficult experiences. Your feeling of safety is key to our work. Therefore, some of the strategies I offer will be informed by this understanding. However, should you prefer not to integrate these into our work together, I respect your wishes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
