Lisa Vaughan

 I provide brief and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy to adults dealing with a range of emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, loss and trauma.

 I work from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic perspective, based on the principal that your present difficulties, distress or relationship patterns may be related to early experiences.  Understanding these, through talking and the relationship between us, can help you gain fresh insights into your life and find the best way forward.  

 Therapy sessions last 50 minutes, and offer the opportunity to reflect on how you think, feel, relate to others and respond to life events. I provide a professional, confidential and supportive environment, where you can discuss past experiences, current challenges or hopes for the future.  Counselling is often once-weekly; but for more deep-seated issues that can take time to untangle, psychotherapy at twice or more sessions per week may be more appropriate. 

 I qualified as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor at WPF Therapy. See my website at www.counsellingNW6.co.uk for more information about how I work, my qualifications, and how to contact me
