Azalea Counselling Counselling from Eastleigh near Winchester
with Vicky Mould

I'm an experienced depression, anxiety, domestic abuse and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton

Welcome, I am Vicky Mould.

Thank you so much for coming to my website. I hope the following information gives you a sense of what I can offer and how that might benefit you.

I am an experienced therapist and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton, and I offer individual counselling for adults of all ages, including long and short-term counselling.

I currently practise telephone and online (video call or real-time messaging sessions) counselling across Eastleigh, Winchester, Southampton and Fareham, or further afield if you live in the UK.

Some reasons you may wish to contact me for counselling

Are you struggling to cope with feelings of loss and grief, following bereavement or other life changes?

Are you feeling troubled by mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, BPD or PTSD? 

Is domestic abuse from the past impacting how you experience life now? Or are you being controlled/abused in a current relationship, or concerned this may be happening to you? 

Are you experiencing an ongoing sense of stress? 

Are you seeking support to help manage the effects of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder?

Are you experiencing relationship issues, such as difficulties with communication, boundaries, trust or feeling understood or connected to others? 

Deciding to come for counselling can be scary, yet as a friendly-natured, down-to-earth counsellor, I aim to put you at ease from our first contact. 

We can explore and reflect at your pace and you will be valued, accepted, heard and understood. 

Counselling with me can offer relief, insight, hope and increased confidence and trust in yourself. 

If you'd like to take that next step into counselling, you can contact me to arrange an initial consultation online or over the telephone.

How I can support you as a person-centred counsellor

As a person-centred counsellor, I work to provide an environment where you can make sense of your struggles, find your way through them and continue with a healthier or more fulfilling life. 

In our counselling sessions, I'll work to help you feel part of a safe and trusting relationship - you'll be welcome as you are, not criticised or judged. 

As I can listen attentively to you, I can help you relieve overwhelm or stress, gain clarity or a fresh perspective and develop your self-awareness.

Creative mediums, including art materials, can be used to help you express yourself or if you'd like to experiment with the creative counselling process.

As I trust you're the expert on yourself, I won't offer advice or tell you what to do, yet I can support you with the life choices or changes you want to make.

Getting started with a low-cost counselling consultation

Finding the right counsellor for you is all-important, and I offer an initial consultation for this reason. 

The consultation is one hour long, and depending on your preference, can be over the phone or online via Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp.  

Accessing a consultation online or over the phone can feel more convenient, discreet or relaxed, yet it's certainly as effective as meeting in person. 

The initial consultation costs £30 and offers an opportunity to explore counselling and make an informed decision about us working together. 

If you'd like to book a consultation or ask questions about how counselling works, you can email me through this website or call or text my practice mobile 07729 193629. All contact is confidential. 

Are you finding it difficult to cope with feelings of loss and grief?

Feelings of loss and grief can be a natural response to many different yet challenging life changes, circumstances and events, including:

• Experiencing bereavement
• Relationship issues, separation or divorce
• Chronic illness
• Disability
• Job redundancy
• A loved one's life-limiting or terminal illness 
• Being or becoming a carer
• Surviving sexual or domestic abuse.
  
  I can support you through such experiences (or another kind of loss you may be experiencing). 
  
  You can talk to and grieve freely with me. 
  
  I am a grief and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton, yet I currently practise counselling online or over the phone. 
  
  My style of counselling is safe, compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental, and I can work at your pace to explore your experiences, feelings and emotions and find your sense of coping. 
  
  

  Facing bereavement 

  Experiencing the death of a loved one can be devastating and distressing, and the grief that follows can feel challenging to cope with. 
  
  Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed with grief, such as troubling thoughts, feelings and emotions. 
  
  Or struggling to adjust to the changes in your life.
  
  Or wish to talk about the relationship you shared with your loved one or the future you hoped for.
  
  Or maybe your experience of bereavement has triggered new or worsening depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, and you'd like support with this.
  
  I have supported people bereaved through different circumstances. I can journey with you at this difficult time (and for as long as you need).
  
  I hold an advanced-level Certificate in Grief and Bereavement Counselling, additional training in child bereavement and specific training in the sensitive issues surrounding baby loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss and SIDS.
  
  As a practising bereavement counsellor, I can offer an environment where you can explore your loss, express your grief and find your sense of coping.

Are you struggling with depression?

While anyone can experience depression, the effects can be debilitating and distressing. 

Depression can impact your mood, energy levels and how you perceive yourself and others. 

It can impact your ability to engage in life and interfere with different aspects of your life. 

It can cause a sense of despair and trigger self-harm and/or thoughts and feelings of suicide. 

It can make you doubt your ability to cope, recover and lead a healthier or more fulfilling life. 

Feeling supported and understood can be particularly helpful, yet it may feel challenging to open up to family or friends or even ask for help. 

You can reach out to me (and I hope I make that process easier for you). I can offer prompt counselling support, including in times of crisis. 

I am a depression and anxiety counsellor near Southampton and Winchester, yet also experienced in other mental health issues. 

I have been counselling since 2011, yet my experience in adult mental health spans further, including volunteering for Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, being a Support Worker on an NHS psychiatric ward and a Support Time Recovery Worker for Together for Mental Wellbeing. 

Over the years, I have worked successfully with people experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia.

I can offer sensitivity, compassion, non-judgment and understanding, which can help you find relief from troubling thoughts, feelings and emotions and work through life events that may have impacted or be contributing to your depression, including:

• Bereavement or loss 
• Surviving sexual or domestic abuse
• Carer stress
• Work-related stress
• Loneliness or social isolation
• Relationship issues or changes
• Pregnancy, childbirth or parenting issues
• Chronic illness
• Disability
• Bullying or harassment
• Discrimination. 

And we don't have to rely solely on talking - we can use art or other creative mediums to help you explore your experiences, express your feelings and emotions and gain clarity or new insights. 

Counselling with me can offer you the safety and support to find your sense of wellbeing and continue with a healthier or more fulfilling life.
