BSL Counselling in Castle Acre

Coming into therapy is a positive decision to move forward in life and embark on a journey to a happier and more fulfilled future. I will stay with you on your journey, listening and hearing your thoughts and feelings guiding and following you as you determine, moving towards optimising your journey. Therapy sessions are tailored to your needs and issues, I can use a range of therapeutic strategies to meet these needs. I can offer an empathetic listening space, non judgemental and safe.

You are not alone. There are many reasons why people seek counselling such as anxiety, bereavement or relationships and it can be a combination of things that makes someone feel overwhelmed. I work with all age groups, genders and cultures; with individuals, couples and families. Talking can be difficult for anyone so I also offer creative and animal assisted therapies to enable clients to express their feelings and experiences in a less challenging way. I am experienced in different life issues: If you are Deaf I can sign BSL or you might be on the Autistic Spectrum. If appropriate I can also work with clients in a home setting.

I am a person centred counsellor who truly understands how difficult it is to seek out help as I have been there. I offer a warm and comfortable environment for us to work together about whatever life struggles you are experiencing. I work with anyone from aged 15 upwards and couples. I have many and varied experiences including working with trauma, family issues, parenting problems, relationship struggles. I have also worked with Deaf clients and have a basic knowledge of BSL. I offer day and evening sessions. Please contact me for details.

Are you feeling low, empty, worried or sad, and searching for confidential support? You may be struggling within your relationships, finding it challenging to manage a new situation, or grieving the loss of an important person in your life. You may be feeling confused and alone in your problems; unable to share with others some of the thoughts and feelings that you’re having, due to feeling that you may be criticised, ridiculed or misunderstood. Taking some time out to explore your thoughts and feelings relating to your past or present, and to develop strategies for moving your life forward could be of long-term benefit to you.

Hey, thanks for looking at my profile, if you think you might like to know more let's organise a free intro call and you can get a feel for me on Zoom. I'm a gay, cis-male clinical psychologist and I have ADHD. I am Chair of the British Psychological Society Section of Sexualities and a member of the BPS Practice Guideline Review board, the Mental Capacity Advisory Group and WPATH. I can diagnose and treat all psychiatric conditions, but I have a particularly strong background in autism, ADHD, brain injury, OCD, BDD, fatigue and LGBTQ+ affirmative practice. I am a proud trans and NB ally.

I understand what a huge step it is in seeking help and support and the courage it may have taken to make the first contact. Whether you are a young person or an adult I will offer you a non-judgemental, empathic safe space to share your thoughts and feelings. I offer individual counselling within my private practice with young people from the age of 8 upwards and adults of any age. I am a warm, friendly, Person-Centred therapist. I want to make a genuine connection with you, so you feel heard understood and supported in whatever you choose to share with me. I will offer you respect, and care about your thoughts and emotions.

If you have found my page you maybe want to learn more about yourself, you maybe experiencing distress in parts of your life or you may find yourself in the same difficult relationships or engaging in the same unwanted behaviours. Whatever your difficulties may be there is a part of you that is reaching out for help and apart of you that believes that things can be better. I would very much welcome the opportunity to work with you to realise whatever better might be for you. I can offer an introductory call or an initial consultation/s. This is when we'll have the opportunity to meet, to talk about what brings you to psychotherapy.
