Self Esteem Counselling in Cambridge

Are you a bit worried about how you're feeling at the moment? Perhaps you feel you might be suffering with anxiety or depression, suffering in silence or feeling very overwhelmed. I offer caring, non judgemental, confidential counselling. Why not give me a call for a chat or drop me an email to see how I can help? Every person I help is different with a unique set of challenges, I tailor my therapy sessions to suit each client. Working in a ‘person centred’ way means I am warm, compassionate and empathetic and will understand. I also draw on my skills and knowledge from other areas of counselling to help you to find ways to cope.

With over 20 years experience as a therapist, I work with a broad range of clients and issues, from teenagers to the retired, from confidence to historical bullying and pretty much everything in between. I believe that life experience plays a big role in my ability to help my clients and this is backed up by the responses that my clients give me. I love working with clients who are determined to change and who stay for the course, because I know that they are the ones who will see their lives improve.

You might be looking for a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to make sense of things. This is how I can help. I have been trained in various evidence based therapies including DBT, Schema, CFT, EMDR, personal consultancy and integrative therapy. I formulate and implement therapy plans which aim to reduce the impact of psychological distress or emotional challenges on my clients' life and support them in learning effective ways of coping with difficult emotions and life challenges. I also offer therapy for therapists and other colleagues who work in health and social care.

Are you struggling to cope with what life looks like at the moment? Are you feeling isolated, uncertain, overwhelmed or want to understand more about yourself?

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I am a registered member of British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and graduate member of British Psychological Society (BPS). I work within the ethical framework of BACP. I have worked as a High-Intensity Therapist/within the NHS's Psychological Wellbeing Service( IAPT) in the past and I currently work as a counsellor at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge.

My remit as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to create a toolbox of tools in the form of strategies and techniques tailored as far as possible to meet your exact mental health and wellbeing needs. I offer short-term, targeted counselling which provide guidance and general understanding about certain 'issues'. offer longer-term psychotherapy that works on the deeper levels of our psychic nature. I can help you to map the territory so that what is currently visible, becomes visible so that it can be worked with and managed and so you can plan and navigate your way with awareness and confidence.

You are not alone. Whatever your difficulties may be, there is always a way forward. Therapy may be the right choice for you if you are looking to reduce distress, improve your wellbeing and achieve your goals. Clients who meet with me gain a greater understanding of their difficulties and develop the ability to overcome these. If you are feeling overwhelmed, find yourself unable to move away from unhelpful thoughts or memories, or just sense that things are not quite right, then please get in touch to discuss whether therapy could be of benefit to you.

If things aren't going well at the moment and you feel alone then maybe I can help? I offer the opportunity to explore whatever may be causing you pain and anxiety in a safe and caring space.

Other people come because they would like to work longer term with a complexity of issues sometimes originating from childhood. Whatever is worrying you book a free initial assessment and see if working with me helps make a difference. I offer discounts for refugees.
