People are drawn to therapy for many reasons, such as when one's life has been turned upside down by major traumatic events such as the Covid pandemic, the breakdown of a relationship, the loss of a job, domestic violence, sexual abuse or bereavement, mental and physical health,  addictions and addictive behaviours, PTSD, all of this can be addressed in therapy.

Counselling also offers us the opportunity to simply understand ourselves better. It can enable you to find new paths to inner peace and to fulfil your dreams. You do not need to be unhappy to access therapy and counselling.

My counselling and therapy is focused on you the client, and as an integrative counsellor I will work with you using a variety of theoretical modalities and creative approaches which I can draw on depending on what is needed, combining these as necessary. This includes Mindfulness, CBT(Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) Psychodynamic, Systemic, TA, Gestalt, Art Therapy, Humanistic, Existential, and Transpersonal approaches. This enables clients to explore events and issues, and enable resolution and healing.

My sessions are 50mins long and normally weekly or by arrangement, depending on your requirements, and on the progress of the therapy/ counselling, and contract. I can undertake long-term and short-term therapy. Solution-focused short term therapy. Couple therapy.

After receiving your enquiry, I will phone or email you back inviting you to a short discussion. If appropriate we can agree an assessment session (50mins) face to face, Zoom,  Skype, phone or WhatsApp video. (Fee payable). We will explore reasons for therapy at this time including levels of anxiety, some family history. Depending on assessment if you feel confortable we can agree a contract. This will include, fee, sessions, length of therapy, confidentiality agreement.
