Donna Stratton

I have my private practice based in Shefford, Bedfordshire.  I have over 10 years experience of supporting people with a range of issues and life changes.  I work with people following the Psychodynamic model, which relates to your unconscious, how you operate in relationships, and how the past can affect the present and future.  We can explore things gently, but from a deeper rooted perspective.

My way of working is purely a talking therapy.  There is some starter admin, but after that I will not ask you to score yourself, do homework or write journals.  Together we will explore your thoughts and see if we can find some links and patterns that shine some light on why you might be feeling, or acting the way you are.  I will not give advice or make judgements, but will think with you and hopefully with an "outsider looking in" view, we might be able to make some shifts in your way of thinking and behaviour that you feel are appropriate.

I can work with you in the room, on the telephone or online.  In a first session, I like to explain how I work, find out a little about you, and give you the opportunity to chat to me.  This gives you a good idea of what it would be like to work with me.  We conclude with a discussion of how that experience has been and I will then leave you to decide if you wish to continue to work with me, there will be no pressure to do so.
