Integrate Therapy! You're Worth It.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Runell Edwards Counselling and Psychotherapy. My name is Runell and I am a counsellor offering both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals and couples in Nottingham.
I volunteered at two charitable organisations providing therapy to individuals facing life challenges such as trauma, loss and grief. These experiences, deepened my appreciation for the uniqueness of each individual and their journey, enriching my understanding and enhancing my ability to offer empathetic and tailored support.
Before becoming a therapist I worked for ten years in education supporting children and their families in navigating behavioural challenges and autism. This role was deeply rewarding as it allowed me to witness the resilience and potential of young people, even in the face of significant obstacles.
What I will miss most about this experience is the joy of witnessing small but meaningful breakthroughs - whether it was a child mastering a new skill to express themselves or overcoming a challenge. Equally fulfilling were the relationships I built with families and collaboration involved in creating tailored strategies to support each child's success.
From this experience, I will carry forward the importance of patience, empathy and adaptability. Every young person taught me valuable lessons about individuality and perseverance, shaping my understanding of how to provide compassionate and effective support. These lessons will continue to guide me in my journey as a therapist as I work to empower others to overcome challenges and achieve their own version of success.
In my spare time I love exercising, relaxing and watching documentaries. This helps me to revive and refresh.
I also have certificates in Safe and Effective Trauma and Integrative Sex & Couples Therapy.
As a humanistic integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support clients in resolving internal conflicts and addressing their unique needs. These include Person-centred therapy, Phenomenological Inquiry, Attachment Theory, CBT, Gestalt, Transpersonal, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Relational.
Having experienced the challenges of taking the first step myself, I understand how daunting it can feel. That's why I strive to create a space that is free from judgement, rooted in confidentiality, authenticity and empathy.
In my experience, providing a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space in therapy allows individuals to explore their issues and empowers them to develop strategies for healing and growth. This process helps them to regain control over their lives, build healthier coping mechanisms, and enhance their emotional resilience.
