Azalea Counselling Counselling from Eastleigh near Winchester
with Vicky Mould

I am a mental health therapist and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton

Welcome, I am Vicky Mould.

Thank you so much for coming to my website.

I am a bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton and an experienced therapist for domestic abuse, depression (including after childbirth), anxiety and other mental health issues. 

I offer individual counselling for adults of all ages (and from all walks of life), including crisis counselling and long or short-term counselling. 

I currently practise online and phone counselling across Eastleigh, Winchester, Southampton and Fareham, or further afield if you live in the UK. 

I hope the information on this website gives you a sense of what I can offer and how that might benefit you. If you'd like to take that next step into counselling, you can contact me to arrange an initial consultation online or over the phone.

Some reasons you may wish to contact me for counselling

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

Are you concerned about or struggling with anxiety, depression, postnatal depression, BPD or PTSD?

Is sexual or domestic abuse from the past impacting how you experience life now? Or are you experiencing abuse in a current relationship or concerned this may be happening to you? 

Are you struggling to relieve that 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 other people? 

I can provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and reflect at your pace, away from outside pressures or expectations, and make life choices or changes you want to make. 

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

We all experience struggles in life, yet sadly, we may not have the support to work through them or find it easy to ask for, access, or receive support. 

Counselling offers an opportunity to experience support in a safe and trusting relationship, develop your relationship with yourself and others and move towards a more comfortable or fulfilling life. 

Deciding to come for counselling can be daunting. Perhaps you're feeling stuck, confused or alone in what you're experiencing. Or maybe talking openly to friends or family doesn't feel helpful or possible. 

Exploring your unique struggles or concerns may feel challenging, yet with the safety and support of a counsellor, it can be an empowering experience. 

I aim to put you at ease from our first contact. 

I am a down-to-earth, non-judgmental and attentive therapist, so you can talk freely and feel valued, accepted, heard, and understood. 

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

How I can work with 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 and find your way through them.

I can help you feel part of a safe and trusting relationship. In our counselling sessions, you will 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, such as art materials, cards or photographs, can be used to help you connect with and express your feelings and emotions or if you would like to experiment with the creative 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 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'll work to ensure you get a real sense of me. 

I offer a 60-minute phone or online consultation, including over 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 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. 

Grief and bereavement counselling with an experienced counsellor

Many life circumstances and events can naturally trigger feelings of loss and grief, 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.
  
  However, feelings of loss and grief can be deeply confusing, overwhelming and a lonely experience.
  
  And it's not always possible to grieve freely with the people around you - they may be struggling with their grief, expect you to be 'over it by now', or not know what to say or do to support you. 
  
  I am an experienced grief and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton, yet currently practise online and over the phone.
  
  My style of grief counselling is genuinely caring, compassionate, accepting and understanding. 
  
  I can offer the safe space and support to explore your sense of personal loss and grieve freely. 
  
  

  Why bereavement counselling?

  Bereavement counselling is an effective form of support if you've experienced the death of a friend or family member, including a child or baby.
  
  Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed - grief can evoke difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions. 
  
  Or would like space to talk about the relationship you had or hoped to have with your loved one.
  
  Or would like support to adjust to the changes in your life and come to terms with your loss. 
  
  Or maybe your experience of loss has triggered new or worsening depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, and you'd like support with this.
  
  As a person-centred bereavement counsellor, I can help you feel part of a safe, trusting and supportive relationship and find your sense of coping.
  
  I have been a bereavement professional since 2008 - initially as a trained volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care and now as a bereavement counsellor in private practice. I've worked with people bereaved through different circumstances.
  
  I also hold training in child and baby loss, including the sensitive issues surrounding miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss and sudden infant loss.
  
  If you'd like to explore bereavement counselling, please email me or call or text 07729 193629.

Anyone can experience and struggle with mental health issues, yet finding support or feeling supported can sometimes prove challenging.

I'm an experienced mental health counsellor near Southampton and Winchester, and I can offer prompt counselling support, including in a crisis. 

I currently practise online and over the phone, yet this won't affect the genuine compassion, acceptance and understanding I can offer you. 

Perhaps you're struggling to cope with, make sense of or find relief from troubling thoughts, feelings, emotions, voices, memories or beliefs.

• Pregnancy, childbirth or parenting

  I can offer a safe environment where you are welcome as you are and can explore and reflect at your pace (I will not contribute to any feelings of shame or stigma around your mental health). 
  
  Over the years, I have worked successfully with people experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia.
  
  As a person-centred counsellor, I can help you feel truly valued, accepted, heard and understood.
