Counselling in B62

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated many difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address many types of issues. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting more out of life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change.

Thank you for choosing to come to my page, it takes courage to reach out and seek support when you are facing difficulties in your life. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, depression or stress and unable to see a way to manage everything or maybe your feeling a deep loss or grieving a loved one and its too overwhelming. Are you looking for a supportive, empathic space in which to explore psychological or physical pain at a pace that is right for you or an encouraging, empowering space to go within, uncover your truth, take ownership of your story and live your life differently. Whatever you are experiencing all is welcome here.

I'm a level 7 integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer support to adults and young people on a variety of issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, low self-esteem etc. I offer face to face, online, telephone and walk and talk therapy sessions. I have experience working with people on both a short-term and long-term basis. If you are seeking therapy because you would like an environment to express and process your feelings, or if you are feeling stuck and you think you could benefit from some direction from myself, I would be happy to help in any way.

Hi, my name is Alec, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I understand that seeking counselling or therapy can be a deeply personal experience and it can be difficult to take that first step. For this reason, I strive to offer clients a safe, friendly, and compassionate space to explore their difficulties while they learn about themselves and find healthier alternative ways to live their lives. I do not give advice and fully believe you are the expert on how to be you. However, no matter what your difficulty maybe I can offer you empathy, understanding and support as we work together. If you are seeking change, therapy may be helpful.
