Is counselling for me?

It’s for anyone. There are a million reasons why people access counselling, remember yours is unique. These are some of the things I worked with…

Abuse (all forms)

Traumatic, harrowing. But, we survive and strengthen ourselves.

Bullying

How can we recover from this all so common behaviour? Explore the insecurities of the bully. Build and strengthen the integrity of oneself.

Neurodiversity

We’re all wired differently, but do we truly understand those differences? And are we making the most of how we connect with each other?

Self-harm

We need to understand its origins and focus on different coping strategies.

Fostering/Adoption

As a carer or a child being cared for, we move between the known and unknown. Learning to adapt to the fundamental life changes we encounter are key.

Domestic Abuse

Abuse or/and a misuse of power? Here, we learn to empower selves, build on self-worth and weaken the intensity of our scars.

Anxiety

Experienced by all. If it significantly impacts our daily life, we need to reshape our thinking and reduce its power.

Depression

The levels and intensity of our depression can feel like we are unable to shift. It is important to unlock the barriers in order to live life again.

Relationships

These are fundamental to our well-being, to our drive in life and to where we belong. Do they feed your soul?

A natural part of life, how do we approach this? Do we recover? Can we reach a point of acceptance?

Parenting

A massive role, nourishing but equally challenging. We can build on your existing experience and knowledge.

My approach

My Humanistic therapeutic training sets a foundation for working with my clients. I adopt a Person Centered / Psychodynamic / Eclectic approach, focusing on the “Here and Now” or exploring your history if relevant.

Incorporating genuineness, empathy and often working towards the process of self-actualisation. You are here to create your own path as I walk alongside you, guiding you through the complexities of life.

I orientate my approach towards one that adapts to your learning style; therefore, I can be direct/challenging/slow paced/goal based/solution focused or simply just allow you to move at the pace you require.

Our aim is always to address what you need from therapy. Within the sessions I use silence, illustrations, objects and metaphors in which to create a structure that moves you towards tackling life’s challenges, increased understanding, clarity and evolving into acceptance of self and fulfilment.
