Judith Hodge Counselling

Counselling, psychotherapy, supervision and training in Southwell near Newark, Mansfield and Nottingham.

If you've found your way to this site, then it could be because you're in need; in need of support, direction or just a way of making sense of a current confusion in your life. The speed and pressure of modern living throws up challenges for us all so it is not surprising that there are high levels of stress-related illness, depression and relationship difficulties.

It's at these times that we can feel at our most powerless; we hope for things to change, that someone else will make the decisions for us, or maybe reach out for something to help take away the difficult feelings by using alcohol, recreational drugs, under or over-eating, spending and other potentially harmful behaviours.

There is another way; to engage in a process which will help you acknowledge your problem, locate its source and give you the resources and power to make appropriate changes in your life. Working together with a counsellor in a safe therapeutic environment can give you the opportunity to make these changes.

My name is Judith Hodge and I have been a practising counsellor/psychotherapist in Southwell (near Newark, Mansfield and Nottingham) for the past seventeen years. I offer individual counselling/psychotherapy, couple and relationship counselling as well as supervision and training in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment. I am fully insured, supervised and Accredited by BACP.

I work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, to the client's specified agenda. Having had many years of clinical experience (11 years within the NHS in both Primary Care and Staff Counselling, 6 years with RELATE offering couple counselling in Nottingham and altogether 17 in private practice) I have worked with many different areas of difficulty. These include,(but equally do not exclude other issues):

Relationships

Affairs

Bereavement and Loss

Work stress

Sexual abuse

Anxiety

Depression

Low self esteem

ME

Male anxiety and depression

My counselling and supervision practice is in Southwell within easy reach of the out-lying villages of Farnsfield, Kirklington, Bleasby, Thurgarton, Halam, Oxton and the towns of Newark, Mansfield and Lincoln. Clients from Nottingham seeking relationship counselling sometimes find the journey from the city to Southwell offers an invaluable reflection space both before and after sessions.
