Individuals | Counsellor

I offer a confidential place to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and situation; to bring your whole self, where you will be listened to without being judged.

After an initial consultation, we might, if suitable, arrange ongoing appointments at the same time each week. These would continue for as long as you wished.

The way I work integrates eclectic but related approaches. It is grounded in a Person Centred Approach, which assumes that all life is motivated to self-actualise; to grow, with our relationship supporting this

Another approach I use is Psychodynamic. This is rooted in the theories of psychoanalysis and involves considering how your present feelings and patterns might be unconsciously informed by formative relationships and experiences

Where appopriate I also draw on other approaches such as:

Focussing on your felt sense. This uses research and theory about trauma and the nervous system to gently focus in on what's happening for you physically
Behavioural - looking at practical ways to address overwhelming feelings, thoughts or behaviours that hinder you
Transpersonal - honouring moments of profound connection or transcendent insight
