Welcome to NEXUS - Counselling Services
Elias Jimenez Bueno, I am the director of NEXUS Counselling and wishes to personally thank you for your inquiry about our services. With the right tools, the right counsellor, and a little hard work, counselling can help move confusion into clear goals, turmoil into peace, anxiety into contentment, grief into tranquility, depression into joy, conflict into constructive communication, and distant relationships into closeness and balance.
This site has everything you need to inquire about our professional counselling services including our theoretical orientation and our experience and credentials. You may contact us through telephone or email. I would like to hear from you and look forward to assisting you in any way I can.
About Us
At NEXUS Counselling, we believe that individuals have the capacity to overcome and be strengthened by life's challenges. Sometimes, people may need objective direction to enhance their resiliency and work through these adversities. Overcoming obstacles will create a more fulfilling and successful life journey for you and the important people in your life.
Elías has worked in health care and educational services for over thirty five years counselling adults, families, and groups to help manage illness, crises, and life changing events. This work includes assisting with individual psychological and social concerns, adjustment to illness, relationships, grief and loss, alcohol and drug, and other important life improvement areas.
Elías completed his Social Psychology Master's Degree in Suffolk University, his Applied Sociology Bachelor's degree in Northumbria University and his Diploma in Youth & Community Work in Leicester.
He has completed a diverse selection of theoretical and practical university courses important to understanding human behaviour and fostering change. He also followed a three year period of Didactic Psychoanalysis.
Elias gets great satisfaction out of helping people understand and connect with their own life stories, themselves, and the special and important people in their lives.
Our methods
At NEXUS Counselling, I strive to connect with you and your story and to provide a forum for growth. Whether you are receiving individual, couple, family or group counselling, we will attempt to create an environment conducive to change. You are the author and creator of your life. My role will be to enhance your skills, to help resolve any past and present barriers to healthy functioning, to help you re-define yourself in relation to the important people in your life if necessary, and to work with you and your goals.
I use an array of theoretical models. Some helpful theories or models that I practice with arise from Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, systems and humanistic thinking, cognitive-behavioural therapy, family therapy, and psychodynamic theory. Connections with the past and how they affect you today can be an important part of this work.
Confidentiality
A component of the counselling process that deserves attention is confidentiality. What we discuss in individual counselling sessions is confidential. This means that I do not share your information with anyone.
Sometimes we do consult with professionals for educational or clinical reasons and any identifying information will be altered to protect your anonymity. Furthermore, if we feel that you would benefit from speaking with another professional (i.e., physician) I will ask for your written permission.
When counselling more than one person at a time (groups, couples or families) the rules of confidentiality still operate but we are sharing or writing about two or more persons on one document.
Ethics
I practice within the British Psychological Society code of ethics and practice guidelines. I have copies of this material if you would like to review them.
