Counselling in Queensbury

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision and finding someone that you feel comfortable with is an important part of your process. I am relational, collaborative and holistic, placing value and importance in you, your story and your challenges and successes. You might be struggling with anxiety, anger or depression? Perhaps issues from your past keep resurfacing and you're looking for a way to move forward? Maybe you have noticed you feel different to the people around you? Or you might like to process an event in a safe environment with a professional?

I have a MA in Psychotherapy and a PG Dipolma and PG Cert in Counselling, I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am an Integrative Therapist which can be confusing lingo in psychological therapies but basically means I adapt my practice to meet the needs of my clients. Counselling isn’t really one size fits all because people are different - and so are their life stories - so working together we can look at interventions that might help.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or it feels the right time to speak to someone again, you are welcome here. Counselling with me can be a place to offload, work through or process some of those feelings or hard thoughts. A chance to untangle what is going on for you, while still enabling you to function day to day. I am an integrative, relational counsellor which means I am qualified in a range of counselling and psychotherapy approaches and tailor sessions to meet your individual needs.

Life is hard. Coming to terms with this can be very challenging, especially when we have to come to terms with circumstances that we feel unprepared for. This makes us feel anxious, uncertain and fearful. Suddenly the ground has shifted and our sense of security has been shattered. We feel vulnerable and isolated. Finding someone who can really listen and help is not easy. I will help you navigate this new place with compassion, kindness and understanding. I can help restore your confidence and give you the strength to continue to move forward.

I will help you begin to process your experiences, become more self-aware & help empower you to bring positive change to your life & thinking patterns, all at a pace that suites you.

Perhaps something has shifted in your thoughts/feelings/behaviour that’s uncomfortable, or maybe you’ve decided to explore a long-standing issue. I help my clients achieve their therapeutic goals either by discussing their current or past issues through counselling/psychotherapy or some clients also opt to have hypnotherapy with me too (you can read about that on my website). I offer empathy, confidentiality, safety and opportunity to explore their feelings in a therapeutic relationship. I'm not here to pass judgement or advise but instead I'm here to help you navigate the highs and lows.

Welcome, to all Adults, Couples and Supervisees. Are you noticing past experiences are affecting how you feel, think or behave, or that you're struggling with family, friends or romantic relationships, possibly recognising a pattern? Maybe you're feeling unloved or unheard or you've been feeling stressed, angry, distressed, down and worried for such a long time you can't find a way out. No matter what your situation is, counselling/psychotherapy is a great way to build a secure sense of self, helping you build resilience and confidence, helping you manage any situation life throws at you going forward.

People come to talk to me for lots of reasons. Sometimes there is a defined problem, it may be longstanding or recent; it may be related to a life event or something upcoming that is raising anxiety; there may be questions or difficulties in some key relationships, or at work; it may not be clear at all, but you are experiencing unease and wish to get to the bottom of why. Coming to talk to a trained and registered psychotherapist guarantees a secure, safe and confidential space in which to explore any or all of the above, alone, as a couple or in a family group.

Maybe a recent life event is changing how you are in the world. Maybe a past event needs to be worked on and understood. Maybe you do not feel yourself and are suffering with a change in mood and outlook. If you are experiencing difficult and overwhelming feelings, we can work through them together. You will have a space to find some understanding and relief from what is happening to you, without being judged. Family and friends often try and give advice and make us feel better, but sometimes this is not what is needed and does not help. Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a different approach.

I started my counselling training over 12 years ago and have years of experience working with people who are striving to understand themselves and these complicated lives that we are all living. I will never get over how much courage it takes to reach out for help at a time of crisis and I am always blown away at the strength and resilience of the human mind. I believe that we all have the potential to grow & heal and that counselling works to facilitate this process. Counselling is for everyone. Not just those who may consider themselves to be in an extreme crisis. I treat each client as an individual working with your unique needs
