Counselling adults and young people online.
I am a qualified counsellor, helping people lead happier and more fulfilling lives. My counselling practice is currently online or by phone. I moved online during lockdown and now my clients like the convenience of online therapy - it saves travel costs and time, and enables clients to continue with therapy if they relocate.
I work with a wide range of issues, focusing on their underlying causes. I integrate the Person-centred, Existential and Gestalt therapy approaches, and this combination offers a flexible framework within which we can, together, explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences. This can help you to identify and resolve difficult feelings, and to develop a stronger sense of who you are, what you want out of life, and how to achieve that.
As well as counselling individuals, I am a qualified couples counsellor*. I aim to help each partner to express, explore and clarify their thoughts and feelings in a non-judgemental environment. This enables the other partner to understand them more fully. When each better understands their own and their partner's feelings and thought processes, both can work towards a happier future.
I am experienced in helping people to:
- Reduce their stress or anxiety levels
- Improve their relationships
- Move successfully through transitions such as life stages and life changes
- Work through loss and bereavement
- Raise themselves out of low mood or depression
- Find purpose and meaning in their lives
- Raise confidence and self esteem
- Overcome the hurdles and blocks to fulfilling potential
- Resolve inner conflicts
- Live with neuro-diversity such as Asperger's, Dyspraxia and ADHD
- Navigate through the troubles of adolescence
- Work through the issues underlying problems with alcohol, drugs or food.
I offer therapy to adults and young people, either short or long term.
