COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY IN BournemoutH, Poole AND ONLINE
Psychotherapeutic Counselling in Bournemouth, Poole and Online.
Wish you had someone to talk to, without worrying your friends and family? Does life seem so difficult and lacking meaning? Do you know what you want to do, but get stuck or lose motivation?
Therapy can be a powerful way to explore what might be getting in the way and navigate life’s challenges and find clarity especially if you're curious about finding meaning and understanding yourself better.
Having someone to talk to, outside of family and friends and in a therapeutic, confidential environment can be a place to explore thoughts, reactions, and feelings.
About Me
Hello, my name is Rosa Trout, welcome to my website and I hope you find what you need!
I have had an amazing journey to be where I am. I achieved my Master's degree in my 40's and during lock down I decided to study to become a psychotherapist. As I endeavour to reach the 450 clinical hours needed, I am so chuffed to offer therapy at 2 locations across Bournemouth and Poole as well as on-line.
I feel with my professional background in education, children's services and family support, and leadership positions that I have held, I have a broad range of skills and knowledge to understand life's challenges and how they impact our wellbeing.
Training with TA East in London has encouraged me to self reflect at the intersections of my own life as well as the community I engage with, which has helped provide a vital lens when working with clients.
As a daughter of two migrants, I have always been interested in how we are all influenced by the people in our lives, our home, and community growing up and how adversity can be exhausting even if it's overcome!
To help me relax and recharge, I like going for walks and spending time by the seaside!
I am a registered member of UKCP,UKATA ,EATA and ITAA as an Advanced Trainee and I am the South West Representative for UKCP Members Forum.
I have over 4 years of clinical practice and forever thankful for the placement with Full Circle counselling service where I gained valuable experience.
I have regular supervision and continue to attend professional development courses to further increase my understanding and skills of psychotherapy and counselling.
In my spare time I volunteer for A21 to campaign against human trafficking and exploitation.
Working With Me
It’s important to me that as client and therapist, we can communicate and connect,
so that you are able to share your thoughts, feelings and hopes, in order for the therapy to be successful.
Knowing the difference listening makes, I hope to create a space, where you feel safe and comfortable.
I will be empathetic and ensure we are working towards the goals that you want to achieve.
This is accomplished through contracting, along with regular reviews and reflections.
What Can Therapy Help With?
It is important to me as a therapist that you feel able to communicate with me and can commit to regular weekly sessions to establish a connection.
People come to me with a wide range of reasons. Here are a few of the most common difficulties that can be supported through therapy.
This list is not exhaustive and I am particularly interested in supporting parents cope with the demands of parenting while not losing their own sense of self.
Abuse
Anxiety
Anger Management
Depression
Divorce
Difficulties at Work or in Retirement
Feeling overwhelmed
Grief, Loss, or Bereavement
Lack of Confidence
Low Self-esteem
Panic Attacks
Relationship Complications
Trauma and Post-Traumatic
Separation (from children)
Stress
My Approach
Well-being and self-care are integral for us to live in our ever fast paced world, and sometimes being reminded of this can make a huge difference!
I am a relational intersectional therapist and I practice in Transactional Analysis with an integrated therapeutic approach.
My experience in working within the Early Years sector as a trainer and independent consultant has equipped me to understand the importance of relationships and how they shape our emotional wellbeing from birth and into adulthood.
Transactional Analysis by Eric Berne, appealed to me because of the theoretical concepts of 3 ego states or systems, the Parent, Adult and Child. Which he believed are developed in our earliest formative years. Berne defined an ego state as 'a consistent pattern of feeling and experience directly related to a corresponding consistent pattern of behaviour.'
These can help make sense of why we have certain thoughts, feelings and behaviours based on the Parent, Adult, and Child ego state. However, there is an underlying belief that 'I'm ok, You're Ok' acknowledges the true self that is found in each of us.
Ethical Considerations
Most of all, I offer an empathetic, confidential, and non- judgemental way of listening, paying attention and offering encouragement and possible insight to clients. I may offer psychoeducation if it is helpful.
I have strong values for honesty, integrity and fairness and I will encompass these in my counselling and psychotherapy service.
I abide to the ethical frameworks of UKCP to ensure my practice provides a safe and confidential service. This includes registering and complying with GDPR guidelines. I also have PLI and hold an Enhanced DBS.
My Locations
I have a therapy room at Sandbanks Clinic, Poole and in Bournemouth too!
I also offer on-line therapy if these locations are too far away.
