Counselling can provide support and facilitate self healing, well being, personal development, increase autonomy and to promote an awareness of personal strengths.
Counselling can help with experiences of anxiety and stress, childhood issues, low self esteem, abuse, trauma, existential difficulties, depression, grief and loss, increasing confidence or any issue where a person needs understanding and support to explore their situation in a non-judgemental space.
The situation a person is in and what they need or want from counselling can vary and so different approaches can be used.
Counselling can provide;
- support through difficult times, being able to explore any situation fully.
- a place to be understood in a confidential, relaxed, professional and collaborative environment.
- a healing interactive relationship
- a chance to resolve the effects of previous life experiences which may bring negative expectations and responses to current situations.
- a way of expanding on and understanding the Self.
I work from an integrative approach which draws from a range of counselling and psychotherapeutic backgrounds to suit the individual and their situation which includes Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis and Existential approaches.
