I understand making the first steps towards getting help can be daunting. You may not know what to expect so I do my best to put you at ease when you first contact me.
I offer relaxed practical sometimes even fun sessions which are warm and non-judgmental. I am an Integrated counsellor using a range of approaches:
Person Centred Counselling You the client is at the centre of my service, non-directive, offering empathy, congruence and positive regard.
Humanistic Focusing on the present moment, emphasizing growth and self- actualization
Psychodynamic Understanding long standing conflicts from the past, bringing the unconscious to the conscious.
Gestalt Therapy Looking at the whole, finding new perspectives or seeing the bigger picture
NLP Solution focused – changing the way you think and achieving a full potential express.
Walk and Talk Therapy A mindfulness-based therapy, release physical tension, breathe deep and receive mind, body and feeling insight in a different way.
Creative Therapy Using objects or art to express your emotions and thoughts when words are difficult.
