Esther Lohneis

I see clients Tuesdays-Fridays.  

I trained as an integrative therapist, which means I use several different counselling theories instead of just one, which brings a fluidity and flexibility to our work together, depending on what you wish to look at and where you are at in your life.

I offer a safe space where you are met with respect and empathy, and we work at your pace to bring change and movement in the areas of your life which are not working for you or are causing distress.

My work is about regaining personal power and being able to make decisions from a place of conscious choice; to do this we may have to reclaim and integrate parts of us that have left or were shut down through traumatic experiences.

I have a particular interest in trauma and loss.

I usually work short to medium term (6-20 sessions.)

As well as seeing counselling clients, I also offer shamanic & trance healing sessions, as well as teaching shamanic journeying.

I offer integrative counselling which includes many tools as well as CBT if appropriate; the first session will usually decide on the best approach for you.  For further information please see my website.

The first session is used as an assessment session where I take an overview of your situation & ensure that I can meet your therapeutic needs.  It is also an opportunity for us both to get a good sense of each other & for you to ask any questions you may have.

If we decide to work further together I ask you to commit to a minimum of 5 more sessions.  This allows the time & space necessary to address what you would like to work on.
