Azalea Counselling Counselling from Eastleigh near Winchester
with Vicky Mould

I am a mental health counsellor 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 mental health, domestic abuse and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton. I offer individual counselling on a long or short-term basis. 

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, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia? Are you experiencing or concerned about PTSD following childbirth? 

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 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. 

I can work with you to find your way forward. 

Offering a safe environment, we can explore and reflect at a pace that feels comfortable to you, and you will be genuinely heard and understood. 

Counselling with me can offer relief, insight, hope and the confidence and trust in yourself to make life choices or changes that you want to make. 

If you'd like to take the 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

I work to establish a safe and supportive relationship 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, you'll be welcome and accepted as you are. You can talk freely with me and feel genuinely heard and understood. 

By listening 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, can be used to help you express your thoughts and feelings or if you'd prefer creative counselling.

As I trust you're the expert on yourself, I don't offer solutions or advice, yet I can support you with the life choices or changes you wish to make. 

Getting started with a low-cost online or phone consultation

Finding the right counsellor is all-important, as it will help you open up about your struggles and feel connected to and understood by your counsellor.

I offer an initial consultation to help us establish if we could work well together. Here we can discuss what's led you to seek counselling, what you hope to achieve, and how I can support you in this process. You can ask any questions you have. 

I charge a fee of £30 for a one-hour individual consultation. This appointment can be conducted online (via Zoom or WhatsApp) or over the phone.

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. 

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 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 grieve freely with me. 
  
  I'm a grief and bereavement counsellor near Winchester and Southampton, yet as I now practise online and over the phone, I'm able to work with you if you reside anywhere in the UK. 
  
  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 equally 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 wanting to talk about your loved one and the relationship you shared or 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. 
  
  For further information or to book a consultation, please email me or call or text 07729 193629.

Are you struggling to cope with depression, anxiety, BPD, PTSD, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia?

Anyone can experience mental health issues, yet the effects can be debilitating and distressing.

And while feeling supported can be helpful, it may feel challenging to find the right kind of support, 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 mental health counsellor near Southampton and Winchester, and I've worked successfully with people experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia.

My background includes being a Support Worker on an NHS psychiatric ward, Support Time Recovery Worker for Together for Mental Wellbeing, and volunteer for Rethink and Mind. 

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 mental health, 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.
