Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.

Therapeutic Counselling

Is the collective name for the different ways in which counsellors use communicative techniques to help clients to solve other problems of a personal nature.

Humanistic Approach

Is based on the theory that humans are good and have the power to make their own decisions.

Gestalt Therapy 

Gives attention to how we place meaning and make sense of our world and our experiences. Within Gestalt therapy, the client has space to safely explore their experiences without fear of judgment.

Life Coach

How can counselling help me?

Whatever the issue, whatever the problem, you are not alone.  Many, many people are unhappy with certain aspects of their life.  By making the decision to have counselling you are taking matters into your own hands and taking the first step towards a new future.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sometimes I will address the immediate problem, although it is important to see what is behind the difficulties. So, together we will explore your behaviour and perhaps not the obvious issues but what is behind them and how did you get there. We will make a plan for your sessions using CBT or a Humanistic Integrative approach whatever is best for you.

It is common that you will lead the session but it does sometimes depend on your issues. In my experience, I have found that I might perhaps need to bring you back and focus on your difficulties. Sometimes it can be very painful to deal with the hurt. It is your choice what you bring to our sessions; however, I want you to get the most benefit from them, so sometimes I might support you in finding the right direction.

I believe my strengths are my honesty with my clients and my empathy with them. Another strength is my passion for helping clients to find a positive outlook in life and be able to explore new things that they previously found difficult.

Part of my training is to take my own personal therapy so I am aware how important is to be ready to make any changes and deal with the pain that has been built up for a very long time.

We are all different and it all depends on you how you feel about talking to, and trusting your counsellor. I am very friendly, caring and honest so hopefully this will help you to work in a warm environment that you feel relaxed in and are able to talk freely.
