Eve's Counselling

Eve's Counselling Following theatre in education workshops in London, I ran my own drama workshops for young people affected by crime and HIV/AIDS.

1:1 professional support in Southbourne Bournemouth for adults experiencing: anxiety, depression, low confidence, motivation and self esteem, mental or physical health problems, family, work or relationship issues, bereavement, loss, anger and stress. At the same time I assisted children with severe and profound multiple learning difficulties in an SEN school. I then became a trainee Dramatherapis

t at the Maudsley psychiatric hospital with service users over 75. I worked for Southwark Youth Offending Team for 10 years doing prevention workshops on violence, knife crime, inappropriate sexual behaviour and anger management in schools. I trained pupils at risk of exclusion to lead anti-violence work in schools and run a conference for adults working with young people in statutory services across London. For which I was nominated for a youth justice award. As a teaching assistant for 8 years at St Peters Secondary school I supported pupils in the inclusion room, specialising in therapeutic anger management. During this time I also worked for 6 years at St Ann's psychiatric hospital and Pebble Lodge, spending time with services users in intensive care, on male and female wards, eating disorders, adolescent units, forensics and assessment wards. I then trained to be a counsellor and run a private practice. Alongside this I raised money for local charities by putting on the first of many events collaborating with generous local artists, musicians and DJ’S who all gave their precious time for free.

Boundaries people. Boundaries. Keep you safe….from harm.

Try to stay away from people who are verbally abusive, manipulative, violent or aggressive.

Let me be clear alcohol is not an excuse.

Because. Kindness costs nothing.

Although you can’t always initially tell. Just listen to your instinct and intuition. Trust yourself and your decisions. You can change your mind at ANY point in time.

You have autonomy.
Always.

Dont dim your light as people get closer…shine brighter.
We’re here to guide each other.

There is a depth & wealth of knowledge. AND experience….living in this beautiful and dangerous world.

Each and every person has walked a journey and can teach us through their story…when and if they wish to tell.

Look to each other for support, we are biologically hard wired for connection. We need each other.

Just note to say there are many local and national charities to access for support, who are specialists in their field.

Charities often have helplines and resources for immediate information and advice which are FREE.

I am currently compiling a list of contact details and websites to post, which is taking some time to ensure accuracy about what each charity offers.

During these difficult times our amazing junior doctors, nurses, support workers, carers and doctors are doing all they can in a sadly underfunded and stretched NHS service. Charities are there for you all. You do not have to meet a criteria or wait to speak to someone.

I only work with adults aged 18 and over in counselling but am passionate about prevention and early intervention. I run annual charity events to raise money for 3 local children's charities to ensure I meet the needs of Dorset families, children and young people.

Therefore the 3 posts about: Mosaic Supporting Bereaved Children, MyTime Young Carers and YMCA are not exclusive. But purely the charities I have chosen for their work and reach in our local community with a range of different groups. There are so many more charities I would like to include...if I could.

Domestic violence survivors can be older and middle aged women, men, young adults / people, teenagers, children and babies.

If you are a survivor or perpetrator and want to process what happened to you or change behaviours, I can help.

I have done multiple CPD trainings by therapists who are internationally renowned doctorates in complex trauma. I am trauma informed, and start a Level 5 in Trauma with the UK’s leading awarding body this academic year. I also have a trauma specialist supervisor.

As a result you will work through what you want with expertise. I am trained in many types of therapy so we can find a way of working that suits you. Sometimes words are difficult to find, and we may need to shift, release and heal what we hold in our body. Alongside working with our thoughts, cognitively.

I am led by you. You will not be asked to talk about anything you are not comfortable with. We will only work on what you decide to bring, and every session will be dedicated to meet your goal from counselling.

You will be heard and understood. I will meet you where you are. I want to understand what it was like for you. You can tell me anything, and I will be here to walk alongside you.

We will work together, in collaboration, you are the expert in your life. I can help you understand the theory behind trauma, how the brain and body responds and reacts. I share what I have learnt in an accessible way.

Your emotions will be validated. I will work at your pace, ensuring you feel comfortable and make sure we do work on safety and stabilisation. You will have tools and techniques to cope, which you can use outside our counselling sessions in every day life. This is important to do, before and during talking about what you want to explore. I will acknowledge any work you may have already done. I will not repeat what you may have spent precious money on in therapy, previously.

I am trained by Pat Craven in the freedom programme to facilitate sessions on domestic violence for victims and perpetrators.

If counselling isn’t for you, these services are free in Dorset:
