Counselling in Gloucester

I am a fully qualified and registered psychotherapist and supervisor working with adults, adolescents and couples on the Isle of Wight and on-line across the UK. Sometimes life can be challenging, we can feel lost or stuck or that we have no control over what is happening. We may struggle with relationships or feeling good about ourselves. Expressing thoughts and feelings confidentially without being judged can help us to feel heard and understood. It can also bring clarity, insight and a better understanding of ourselves and how we relate to others.

Everyone faces challenges, dilemmas, fears, problems and issues in their lives. Sometimes we can manage to cope. Sometimes our usual coping methods don't seem to work. We find ourselves struggling and we need someone to talk to, someone who will listen and to somewhere we can talk about our feelings and thoughts and to explore opportunities for change - to get our lives back on track again.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.

Counselling can help you to explore and work through emotional difficulties you may be experiencing that could be affecting your thoughts and behaviours. It is a space for you to share things that you may be finding difficult to talk to your friends and family about. These difficulties may be from your past that are now causing problems in your present or from a more recent trauma you have experienced in your life such as a relationship break-up, loss of someone close to you or difficulties with getting to sleep or sleep not feeling like sleep anymore, but feeling more like an escape.

Clients reach out to me because they are struggling within themselves, their work or their relationships. They might be feeling depressed, anxious, dreadful, stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, angry, empty, numb, purposeless, meaningless, traumatised, disconnected; yet not realise it. They might need to feel better, and live fulfilled lives. They may want to discover themselves and what would make them happy. At times people enter therapy in a crisis or for a multitude of other reasons and stay for various lengths of time. The time of entry is usually significant. Therapy is no longer a stigma; self development is now a norm.

I provide long term open ended Psychotherapy, Psycho-Spiritual Therapy and short term experiential therapy and coaching for individuals, couples and organisations. In addition to a BA (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapy I hold a Masters in Theology and have studied Systemic and Family Constellations and Sacred Attention Therapy over many years.

Anxiety around intimacy, relationships, or sexual concerns is incredibly common, and the overarching impact that these issues can have on your health and happiness is often underestimated and undervalued. Forming meaningful and honest connections with people including yourself, and feeling empowered to truly accept and project how you feel - good and bad - is challenging with sex and relationships being no exception. Shedding light on the unconscious and bringing new perspectives to your world can be the seed from which healing and personal development grow.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

Today, more and more people are faced with overwhelming stress, in their relationships, at work and in their personal circumstances. However more and more people are becoming aware and motivated to take steps towards a more fulfilled and happy life. If you feel worried or depressed in your present situation and/or stuck and unhappy in your relationship, talking to a therapist may be the best choice you make. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, get support, understanding and professional guidance towards a resolution and peace of mind.

You are probably struggling with something in your life which you have been unable to resolve yourself. This may be a relationship or sexual problem, anger issues, family problems, anxiety/depression or maybe just a feeling that something is missing in your life. You may have found that you haven't been able to come up with a solution and that talking to family or friends feels like you're burdening them or it is hard to get an objective perspective. Instead of feeling like you're going round in circles and repeating the same mistakes, you'd like to feel more free and empowered.
