Counsellor & Psychotherapist in Nottingham
Counselling and psychotherapy for adults in Carlton, Nottingham and online
I'm Elaine Bond, a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Carlton, Nottingham. I provide confidential counselling and psychotherapy for adults aged 18 and over, offering a supportive space to explore difficult experiences, emotions, relationships and patterns of behaviour.
I have particular experience working with trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, DID, EUPD, anxiety, neurodiversity and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are available face-to-face from my private counselling room at 40 Marhill Road, Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 3AH, as well as online and remotely.
I am currently accepting new clients.
How I can help
Trauma, PTSD & CPTSD
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how we feel, think, behave and relate to others long after the event itself. I work with adults experiencing trauma-related difficulties, including PTSD, complex PTSD (CPTSD), dissociative identity disorder (DID) and emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD).
Anxiety
Anxiety can affect many areas of everyday life, including relationships, work, sleep and confidence. Counselling can provide a space to explore what may be contributing to your anxiety and develop different ways of responding.
Neurodiversity
I work with neurodivergent adults and understand that people's experiences, needs and ways of processing the world can be very different. Counselling is tailored to you as an individual rather than expecting you to fit a particular way of working.
Relationship Difficulties
Individual counselling can provide an opportunity to explore relationship difficulties, recurring patterns, boundaries, communication and the impact relationships have on your emotional wellbeing.
More information about these and other areas I work with can be found on my Counselling Services page.
How counselling can help
Life can sometimes bring painful, unexpected or overwhelming experiences. We all develop ways of coping, but sometimes those strategies stop working or begin to cause further difficulties.
Counselling provides a confidential and supportive space where we can explore what is happening for you, understand patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and consider more manageable ways of coping.
Therapy can be short term and focused on a particular issue, or longer term where difficulties are more complex or longstanding. The way we work together will depend on you, your circumstances and what you would like to achieve from counselling.
You can find out more about my experience, qualifications and approach on the About Me page.
