How counselling can help:
Is this a familiar feeling?
Would you like to be able to speak openly and honestly about your concerns?
You may be experiencing loss, grief, sadness, guilt, shame, anxiety, isolation, addiction/s, stress,
frustration, worry, overthinking, low self-esteem, bullying, lack of self-care, getting your needs met,
being assertive, relationship problems, depression, work-related issues, or something else.......
Perhaps you're looking to offload, stuck in a rut, needing support around your adoption, or searching for more helpful coping strategies. Are you at a crossroads? Or carrying what feels like a backpack full of large stones?
There could be a big decision to make, difficulty saying no to others, or changes needed to improve your current situation. Whatever the problem, let me help you sort it.
My person-centred therapeutic approach means that rather than giving my opionions or advice, I listen without judging, understand, accept and believe. It's about helping you to find the answers, exploring options for change, and getting clarification in order to move forward. I'm quite interactive, so you'll get a lot more than 'hmms' and 'uh-huhs' if you come to me for counselling or support. I incorporate Mindfulness to help with unwanted thoughts, anxiety, focus, relaxation, stress, depression, deadlines, and chronic conditions.
Sometimes people think that asking for help is a weakness - it's ok to learn to ask for what you need. We don't do that enough, but often put others' happiness before ourselves. Self-care, self-compassion, and me-time is encouraged. Also, it's understandable to worry about showing your emotions. Please be reassured that this is a normal part of therapy; you and your feelings will be treated with respect at all times.
I'm a warm, caring, and experienced counsellor/psychotherapist. I have 13+ years' counselling provision experience with many thousands of clinical hours completed, and am qualified/certified to work face-to-face, online, and on the telephone. I hold BACP Accreditation, and NCS Professional Accreditation. I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. There's no homework or pressure. We will work at your pace and you always choose the focus of your sessions.
Counselling usually starts with weekly appointments, but then may move to fortnightly, or even monthly check-ins. Sessions are available during the day from 8am, with some early evenings and Saturday mornings to fit in around your schedule. Currently, I have very limited availability for early evenings and evenings.
How would it feel to put down that heavy load? Start living your best life!
