    Welcome to Pru Utley Counselling

     I am a qualified and experienced therapist dedicated to helping you achieve emotional balance and personal growth in a safe, supportive environment.


    Counselling

    Face to face - Online - Telephone

    Empowering you to achieve growth and change

    Living life is hard.. do you

     

    • Find yourself feeling flooded with social or general anxiety all too often.
    • Feel confused about your next steps to take at the crossroads in your life.
    • Battle with low Self Esteem.
    • Are trying your best to "keep going" whilst trying to process and grieve the loss of someone important to you.  
    • Feel exhausted and frustrated with struggling to understand why you feel stuck in a cycle of emotions, never moving forward. 
    • Or just need a space to let go of what you'd really like to say!


     Counselling can help.


      Life can throw up all sorts of challenges. We can experience and all to often squash BIG emotions that can have profound effects on our mood, the quality of our relationships,  life and how we cope. Our stoic spirit, enables us to keep carrying on but burying and suppressing so much can lead to burn out, feeling low, less able to cope and overwhelm.


    My role as your counsellor is to meet you with warmth and compassion. I will listen to your story and work alongside you to empower you to make sense of what you are going through.


    While some of my clients seek counselling during times of crisis, for some it is equally valuable for getting to know themselves better, navigating the complexities of daily life and enhancing overall well being.

     As a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, (BACP) I work in accordance with their ethical framework  ensuring I place the best interests of my client at the forefront of my work.
     

    Counselling is a unique process that can support you in the areas of your life where you feel stuck and increase your understanding of the way you engage with the world and yourself.

    Why Counselling?

    Self understanding & Emotional Regulation

    Counselling can help you to gain deeper insights into your thoughts and feelings.

    It can equip you with tools to deal with difficult emotions.

    Healing past wounds & Behavioural change

    Counselling can assist you in processing challenging past experiences.

    It can facilitate you in understanding unwanted behaviours and patterns and making positive changes. 

    A safe space & impartial support

    The counselling room provides a safe, confidential space and supportive setting for personal exploration.

    Counselling promotes a judgement free space where you will be met with impartiality and support.

    A time for you & a collaborative experience

    Counselling offers you dedicated time away from life's demands to focus on your well-being.

    It's a partnership where we both work towards your personal growth.

    Growth & the path to change

    The process encourages personal growth and healing.

    Counselling can initiate and sustain positive changes in your life.

    How I work

    I understand that finding the right therapist for you is paramount when it comes to sharing your story.

    Asking for support can be difficult and uncomfortable.


    • I will always work from a place of respect, kindness and understanding. Counselling often involves serious discussion, but my style is to, when appropriate, use humour to ease the process.


    • I pride myself on being positive and focused on the unique qualities and experiences of my clients and I tailor your sessions to suit your individual needs.


    •  I believe my love for what I do has a strong impact on the people I serve in initiating positive change.

    It takes the right setting to be vulnerable enough for change...

      Frequently Asked Questions

      If you have a question which isn't answered below please feel free to send me a direct message via my Get in touch page, email or Whats App

      Everybody is different but I believe you can benefit from counselling if you are experiencing difficulties or worries in your life. The important question to ask yourself is are you ready to take some time for yourself to be challenged by different points of view, experience new ways of thinking in order to make positive changes in your life? It can feel like a brave step to take but one which I will support you with.

      For the duration of your therapy you will receive a 50 minute session.

      To start with weekly sessions are advised, however, I do understand that certain circumstances mean this might be unattainable and we can discuss that in our initial chat.

      The duration of my work with clients varies greatly and may be short, medium or long term, but we agree this together and I will always hold your best interest in mind.

      Sometimes it might not be the right time to embark upon your therapy journey. That is okay. You might feel you are not ready and the choice to end will be yours. Through our work together we will review and check in along the way so that I can ensure what you are experiencing is benefiting your on-going needs.

      Should you choose to stop I will always suggest we have a final session to tie up our time together. Endings are an important part of the counselling work and have your well being in mind.

      After you have made your initial enquiry I will contact you to arrange a time that we can meet for a chat on the phone. This will take about 15 minutes. I will ask you to tell me a little bit about why you are coming to counselling and what it is that you would like to achieve. I will tell you about myself and the way that I work. This is an important part of our process so that I can make sure I am best fit to  support you at this time. It is also a great opportunity for you to be able to ask any questions you might have, and most importantly decide if  you feel you could work with me!

      Counselling will give you a unique space for you to talk, be heard, reflect and  explore  your  thoughts and feelings.  Through this it can help you to think and feel differently from the way that you do now and empower you toward new changes that will benefit your emotional well-being.
