If you've found your way here, something has probably been sitting heavy for a while. Anxiety that won't switch off. A loss that hasn't settled. A relationship or a memory that still has a grip on you. Or just a quiet feeling that you don't like who you are right now. You don't need the right words for it yet. You just need somewhere to start looking.
I'm Rozella, a trauma-informed counsellor based in Scunthorpe, and I work with people in person and online across the UK. Below are the questions I get asked most, by clients before their first session, and by people who never book at all but still needed the answer. Have a look through whatever feels relevant to you.
Pick what's on your mind
Why won't my mind switch off?
What anxiety actually is, why it shows up when it does, and what helps.
Why does the past still feel present?
How trauma affects the body and mind, and what processing it really looks like.
Why can't I just snap out of it?
What low mood is doing to your motivation, and why that's not a character flaw.
Am I grieving "wrong"?
Why grief doesn't follow a schedule, and what support during it looks like.
Why do I always assume the worst about myself?
Where self-doubt tends to come from, and how it loosens its grip.
Why do I still feel like this, now it's over?
What recovery after abuse can actually involve, at your own pace.
The practical questions
Not sure if therapy is even the right move, or what a first session looks like? That's covered separately, honestly and without any sales pitch.
What actually happens in the first session?
Cost, format, what to expect, and how to know if it's a fit, before you commit to anything.
Who is Rozella, actually?
Background, training, and how she works. Not a highlight reel.
If something here felt familiar, and you're wondering whether talking to someone might help, there's no pressure to decide that today.
