Counsellor (BSc, Dip. Couns)
But very often people come to see me because they are feeling depressed or anxious. They might have been affected by life events or changes in circumstance such as a bereavement; a relationship breakdown or a separation; the loss of a job; a difficult pregnancy and/or a traumatic birth; the arrival of a new baby. Sometimes people feel stressed by work, or overwhelmed with caring responsibilities.
For others, the feelings are not linked to any particular event. You might be feeling “stuck” and not know why exactly; have difficulty forming or maintaining relationships; you might fear intimacy or find it hard to communicate; or you might want to talk about issues around your sexual experience or your sexuality.
Or perhaps you are feeling anxious about your health or that of a loved one. You may find yourself worrying about your job, your finances or your family’s future.
Whether you are experiencing any one of these issues or another not listed here, or you simply want to talk to someone outside of your day-to-day life in order to gain a different perspective, my aim is to support you as best I canI am available either in person for face to face sessions or via video for remote sessions, depending on your preference.
Further trainings in CBT therapy as well as Life Coaching have enriched my practice, enabling me to offer clients a more integrated approach to their issues. For instance, I draw upon CBT skills when we explore how your thoughts affect your mood, or when helping you identify the ways in which your coping mechanisms might maintain your problems rather than resolve them. Or you may be looking for a more directive, solution-focused approach in order to achieve a desired outcome. This is where the coaching tools I have learned can be very effective in mobilising you to reach whatever goals you have set for yourself.
In summary, I don’t believe that one therapy fits all. Together, we can decide what works best for you. Sessions will be tailored to your specific needs, whether you are seeking shorter-term help with a specific issue, or a longer-term engagement for more complex ones.
You are welcome to contact me by telephone or email to discuss your situation, or to set up an initial appointment. All communications between us are confidential, and I will reply to all messages promptly.
