About me and my therapy practice
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction or relationship issues, then counselling can offer an effective way of working to overcome these feelings. I use an evidence-based approach to therapy that can provide rapidly effective results. I monitor progress to evaluate and ensure effectiveness of the therapy. Currently the average scores across all my clients have dropped over a few sessions from:
Depression - 34 to 1
Anxiety - 46 to 2.5
Anger - 23 to 0
This is largely down to the latest CBT model I use which was developed in the USA and is beginning to be adopted in the UK due to its effectiveness at treating the root of peoole's issues.
I offer the option of outdoor counselling, based on the Downs, either as a 'walk and talk', or including some running at an easy pace. I also hold sessions remotely for those who would prefer, either by Zoom or over the phone.
Practice description
Walking or running can be a great way to provide an environment to talk through issues in a relaxed and comfortable way. The pace of movement is down to what feels right for you and we might take the occasional break on a bench. Green spaces and movement in themselves have been shown to improve mental wellbeing so can offer the ideal setting to find a path through whatever you are struggling with.
