About me and my therapy practice
Hello
I'm Glesni, from Lighthouse Counselling.
I chose the symbol of a lighthouse for my business as it reflects what I do. I offer a calm, reassuring presence for those being buffeted by stormy waves.
Life can be tough sometimes - relationships, work, or issues from the past affecting you in the present. Talking to friends or family might not help as they go into "fixing mode" and you need someone to really listen, and to give you space to explore your feelings, and process the thoughts you've been having.
If you feel that you would benefit from some space to discuss things and a calm presence to help you find your way, then please get in touch and we can find a way forward together.
Practice description
I have been trained in different types of therapy, and I know that there is no "one size fits all" way for every client. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to find the best approach for them.
Some things we may try:
- the traditional therapy approach of giving you space to explore your emotions
- challenging your thoughts and core beliefs
- exploring how the past is affecting the present
- looking at the future you want and working out how to get there
- breathing exercises
- mindfulness
- affirmations
- creative approaches using a range of materials
My first session
Accessing therapy can be daunting, and you may feel wary of opening up to a stranger. I will try to put you at ease, and make sure that you feel comfortable.
When we first meet, I will go through what's called a "counselling agreement" to let you know a bit about me and my practice, as well as covering the practicalities of counselling.
I will also ask some questions about what brought you to therapy, and we will start to work together to find a way forward.
It may be that you're not sure what the problem is, you just know that something isn't right. If that's the case, I will give you space to explore what is going on for you, until we can find out what that is.
