INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" - Maya Angelou
​
I offer my services to those seeking to explore and overcome the thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behaviours which are negatively affecting their life. I take an integrated approach towards counselling and psychotherapy, combining multiple therapeutic practices and adapting these based on your unique circumstances and personality. Through exception careful Listening and expert support, I help clients to explore, understand and change any negative irrational beliefs, thoughts behaviours and feelings.
Whether you are trying to overcome a particular issue in your life now, or are being affected by past events, counselling and psychotherapy can give you the tools you need to move forward in a positive way.
While in therapy during my course I always looked at therapy as “a gift to myself “an hour a week. Now I have transformed my pain into power and look forward to helping you do the same!
BENEFITS OF INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
You can be assured that everything spoken about during these sessions is treated with the utmost confidentiality, however, it is important to note that in certain situations legal and ethical obligations will have to be considered, for example, the protection of children and minors under the Child Protection Act.
One size of therapy does not fit all and we will work together in a way that both fits for you and encourages growth and change.
How can therapy help me ?
Counselling can help you to identify the causes and patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving which have created your difficulties. It helps you explore the conscious and unconscious motivations behind unwanted feelings and behaviours; as well as making sense of those you are already aware of. It can help you regain self-acceptance and confidence where your expectations have become unrealistic or difficult to maintain and find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. It can help you to heal the wounds of a trauma or personal crisis. My way of working is supportive, empathic and gently challenging, while remaining non-judgemental to help you find methods of coping a clear way forward.Counselling can also help you with a number of coping strategies or dedicated techniques, which you will find effective in problem-solving and gaining independence.
