How I Work
What would you like to get out of counselling?
Integrative Counselling
In my practice I have observed how a confidential, safe and supportive space enables clients to communicate their experiences and manage how they feel. In therapy, I provide a space for you to discuss the things that you may find difficult to express elsewhere. Many issues arise from unresolved past trauma that has had a lasting influence. Building self-awareness during the sessions provides the opportunity to move away from old patterns and repetitions. In doing so, resilience grows and new options are found to manage old behaviours. This in turn means that you can develop more meaningful and joyful relationships.
As an Integrative therapist, I find it important not just to deal with the past, but to also pay special attention to your present and your goals in life. We live in a fast-paced society which can in itself cause emotional issues and difficulties. There are many choices out there and this may make it increasingly difficult to see the way forward. This is where two people working together is better than just one, and progress can be made.
I can help with a wide range of issues, including:
- Stress and anxiety
- Abuse
- Depression
- Relationship issues
- Bereavement
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- Work related pressures
- Redundancy
- Trauma
- Cultural issues
- Illness
- Phobias
- Self-harm
- Obsessive compulsive behaviours
