About me and my therapy practice
I trained in the humanist approach to counselling and have been a qualified social worker for 29 years, working with adults.This brings a wealth of experience, focussing on solutions. You are the expert of your own experience and by offering you the time and safe space to hear your voice, you can challenge the things about yourself that you want to change. However sometimes people get stuck and can't move forward. Everyone is different and by using different techniques we can work together with managing the difficulties you may be facing such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and bereavement.
Practice description
I provide 60 minute counselling sessions in person, and online using a person centred approach,which uses techniques from cognitive behavioural and pschdynamic approaches. This tailors therapy to meet your needs.
Some people experience trauma and develop PTSD symptoms. I offer Rewind therapy to help with anxiety and low mood associated with trauma.
My first session
I can offer a free 15 minute consultation to see whether my approach is suited to meet your needs.
If my approach can help you then i usually arrange 6 to 12 sessions to resolve your difficulties. This however depends on your circumstances.
If i believe i don't have the skills and experience to meet your needs. Then i will support you to be referred to another therapist or another organisation that may be more suited to help.
