WHAT IS COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY AND HOW CAN IT HELP?

Counselling and psychotherapy provides a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive environment in which we will collaboratively explore your anxieties and concerns. Sometimes called "the talking cure", it can be a time for healing emotional pain and coming to a resolution about the past. Counselling and psychotherapy can also be about understanding your present behaviour and working towards change. The opportunity to talk and offload with someone who listens and moreover hears is in itself deeply therapeutic.

My role as your counsellor and psychotherapist is to work empathically with you to encourage greater personal awareness and insight, in order that you can make the life changes that you long for. I work with genuine respect for you and your personal values, whilst offering alternative ways of understanding yourself and your life. It offers you a therapeutic alliance which facilitates personal and spiritual growth. It also encourages the development of the necessary inner resources and personal qualities which will support you to develop the freedom to live more fully.


COUNSELLING MAY HELP YOU THROUGH A CURRENT CRISIS OR WITH ONGOING PROBLEMS,
FOR EXAMPLE:

* Stress and anxiety
* Relationship difficulties
* Couples counselling
* Parenting issues
* Adoption
* Bereavement and loss
* Depression
* Trauma including Developmental Trauma
* Sexual difficulties
* Low self-esteem
* Anger issues
* Ageing and retirement
* Life changes or finding a new direction
* Career development and direction
* Disability, illness or accident
* Sexual abuse

* Fertility problems, miscarriage and termination
* Personal identity
* Body image
* Personality Disorders
* Addictions including alcohol, drugs, cigarettes Quitza and food
* Eating problems

Some difficulties do not have a convenient label. Perhaps you just feel unable to cope, or that life is unbearable, or perhaps there may be a past experience that is holding you back and needs talking through.
