A really lovely atmosphere that is easy to share your troubles in. Nick was so helpful in giving us some productive feedback to work on. We are now engaged to be married and happier than ever :) More...

Nick took our loving but struggling relationship and gave us a mutual vantage point to re-start from. What a blessing he was to us! ! From the time of day he could be available for us, to suggestions for each of us to work on, and holding us accountable whilst being supportive, we felt very much that we were in good hands. Worth noting he was our 4th counsellor in as many years, and the only person my husband has felt he trusted. A true gem. More...

The sad fact is My Marriage had nearly broken down beyond all hope of a reconciliation, our children were involved when they shouldn't have been, Nick Lamprey was the calming passifier and sense maker when there was no sense at all, I wish solicitors and mediators gave you his number at your first meeting, it would have saved us thousands but most importantly than any money our lives would have been back on track way before some of the worst damage was done. Because of him we were able to pick up the pieces and start again, I know I will always be grateful to him. More...
What do you love most about your job?
My current career which started in 1991 has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of people and families and help them to thrive. I find this rewarding, often challenging and never boring.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I find I am motivated and work most effectively when I have the flexibility to work in the way I feel is best for my clients. While I very much value the experience and training I had in working for the Local Authority and Child and Adolescent Mental health with the NHS, I felt my combination of skills and experience would be best applied through my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
>One size doesn't fit all:
In my experience many counsellors, coaches, therapists, often have a narrow field of experience and approach that may not be a good fit for some of the clients/families they work with. I am able to offer a holistic approach that looks at the big picture and I can be creative, drawing on a wide range of skills and experience in how I help.
> Cost effective:
My charges are reasonable and I aim to, identify with you areas we agree to work on and move things on quickly, while being thorough, with a solution focused positive approach.
>Experience:
I come from a background which has brought me into contact with a diverse range of people, I worked in retail prior to re training in my early 30's (1991) making me well grounded, while I have qualifications and undergone extensive training, I am not a text book person, but someone with life experience who has learned a lot a long the way. I have a passionate belief in people's ability to thrive and have found I have natural ability to relate to people and help them do so. When employed in the field I gained experience in working with, children, young people and parents including for the Child and Adolescent mental health service , CAMHS, working with hundreds of families over the years.
Couple Counselling/Coaching
A couples counselling/coaching session provides a safe place for negotiations and exploration of where you are now and where you want to be, as individuals and as a couple. If either need some one to one input at the beginning or part way through that is an option.
. Help for couples experiencing : conflict, loss of closeness, poor communication.
. Other factors.
Identifying and dealing with other factors that are contributing is often crucial, such as : other family members, step children and other life pressures.
The approach adopted will be unique to you, but will typically include : A combination of counselling and coaching (applying the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT) working on assertive, effective communication and addressing specific issues. We are flexible in our approach and can include other people where appropriate, for example in laws or step children/young people, which can be crucial to successful outcomes.
Individual Counselling/LIfe Coaching
.One to one help with barriers to progressing in life, including relationships, career, loss of of confidence, low self esteem, anxiety, depression.
Input will involve getting to know you, helping you identify the issues you would like to work on and collaborating in finding a way forward that works for you. Your past may be explored in as far as it is helpful to understand the present and the way forward, but the main focus is on going forward.
Input will be tailored to your needs, but will typically involve a combination of counselling and coaching using the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), confidence building, including work on assertive communication and support in taking new steps going forward.
Adolescent Counselling
Adolescence can be a difficult time for young people and parents alike. Perhaps you are a concerned parent or step parent struggling with a teenager, in ares such as withdrawn or aggressive or other worrying behaviour, emotional problems, poor motivation, lack of direction or strained relationships with other family members.
This can be extremely stressful for all concerned and have many knock on effects. Nick Lamprey is DBS checked (formerly know as CRB) and has many years experience of working with adolescents and families from a wide variety of backgrounds to bring about positive change. This includes working for Local Authorities and Child and Adolescent mental Health (CAMHS) so you can be sure you and your young person are in safe hands.
Mindfulness
Suffering with Stress, fatigue, feeling worn down, feeling there are too many things demanding your attention ? These are common symptoms of a modern life that seems to promise so much but can lead to us feeling out of control.
Mindful mediation can help you restore the balance and is increasingly being recognised as an effective approach to achieving emotional health and well being.
As experienced practitioners, we can include Mindfulness to complement other counselling or coaching work, or as a specific short course of sessions. Either way our aim is to give you the tools to call on when you need them in day to day life, when life throws up challenges, as well as promoting a general sense of well being and resilience.
