Counselling

I briefly outline here who I am and what you can expect from me as a counsellor but would encourage you to make contact to personalise your experience and needs

.  

  Perhaps you don't feel right, your relationships might be suffering, you may feel exhausted from trying to maintain a positive side. Maybe you keep doing the same things over and over but cannot seem to break the cycle. I believe we all have the capacity to help ourselves through much of this but, in an increasingly complex and busy life where we are ‘always on’, there often feels like there's little time available to focus on ‘me-time’. Counselling gives you the valuable space and time to find your way in a supported and non-judgmental environment.

I work with clients with various emotions, thoughts and challenges including; stress, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, anger, relationship/work issues, depression and bereavement (loss). By listening and using tools alongside positive challenge, I highlight patterns and ways of thinking, giving moments of clarity for clients to make changes in their life and their view of it.

I have recently worked with the NHS on providing short term therapy (6 sessions) to patients and have seen some excellent results in this shorter and more focussed time period. For others, a longer term, deeper relationship has been more successful for their needs. The only optimum time frame is the one that works for you. We'll discuss this at the outset and work to a plan.
