What is Counselling
My role as a Counsellor is to assist, encourage and support you with your mental health.
Providing individual Counselling and Psychotherapy, to individuals, teenagers, couples and more recently parent & child relationships.
My mission is to assist and support individuals to have a happier and healthier mindset. We may go through life changes and challenges, which impact our thoughts and emotions. We can become overwhelmed, feeling sad, alone, ashamed etc. These are your feelings and we can work through them together, so that you become your best self.
A chance for us to meet and get to know each other, talk through what you’d like to work on in therapy, and give you the chance to ask any questions you may have.
The best method to contact me is email or text. Should you choose to call, please leave a brief message. We will decide your next step.
During your initial contact we will arrange your 30 minute complimentary session.
We agree a day and time for you to begin your therapy sessions.
Working with family members has become an area that I feel passionate about. We are informed by “society” to love and care for our family. What if family is the one place where you are hurt or harmed, you don’t feel you belong, or you just don’t want to be around them. Seek my support with any of these issues. We will explore what is going on for you in confidence, and work on ways to manage how you feel and behave when around your family.
Depression can affect anyone at anytime. It may begin with a life event such as loss of a loved one, loss of a job etc. Depression can also happen when our life is not going how we would like. It can be a debilitating experience which prevents you from enjoying experiences you once loved such as socialising. If this sounds familiar, get in touch. We can work together, allowing you to work through your thoughts and feelings, which will encourage and support you to live a happier life.
Anxiety can surface at any time, usually when you are feeling scared of the unknown. Your heart rate will increase, your breathing may become shallow, along with a rapid heart rate. Your thoughts may turn negative, and you begin to worry and also you find it difficult to concentrate. Those who are taking exams, have job interviews, or when leaving their home, may cause some of these symptoms. Working together, you will gain tools that you can use to monitor and control your anxiety, whenever the need arises.
My governing body is BACP https://www.bacp.co.uk/ do visit this site as it has lots of information around Counselling which may support your search for a therapist and allow you to identify the role of a therapist and help to answer any questions you may have. To ensure we are safe whilst working together, I also invest in public liability insurance as this is a requirement whilst you visit my therapy room.
I am passionate about my role as a therapist, offering support to assist and enable positive mental health to those I work with. We work together exploring your world, the ways in which you think and behave. Looking at your history and experiences which you have lived, as well as what is taking place presently.
As a part of my role I am required undertake regular training (CPD), which allows me to continually add to my skill set. From time to time, I will bring new ways of working to my practice, sharing the newness, if and when necessary, with you as the client. CPD allows me to engage in areas of interest and learn about new discoveries of ways of working with mental health, interpersonal dynamics also with areas which apply to the current client group. The therapy world is forever changing and improving, new discoveries and advancements of the therapy world.
