It can feel like a big challenge to take the first step and contact a therapist, but an initial consultation will provide you with an opportunity to meet me, tell me about yourself and talk about the counselling process. Then, if you feel it may be of benefit to you, we can discuss further sessions. This may mean arranging a fixed number of sessions or agreeing to work together in a more open-ended way.
Everybody faces vulnerability, difficulties or the need to confront change at some time in their lives. This can be a recent life event or an accumulation of feelings and problems.
(Although I am an integrative-relational counsellor, I’m not a couples therapist. The name of my training can be misleading. It means this: A ‘relational approach‘ can be defined as: being mindful of our relationship with our client. A therapy relationship can reflect the tangles in your relationships ‘out there’, as they show up here and now between us.)
Together we can explore issues relating to:
- Bereavement/Grief and Loss
- Depression and Anxiety
- Low Self Confidence/Self Esteem
- Life Changes/Choices/Pressures
- Retirement/Loneliness
- Emotional/Psychological Wellbeing
- Workplace/Occupational/Professional/Social Difficulties
- Separation/Divorce
I offer one-to-one counselling sessions to adults (18+yrs) in person, via Zoom video and telephone.
