Online Counselling for Kenilworth

I can help people who are experiencing all levels of distress and unhappiness. You may have feelings of dissatisfaction and a sense that you are not getting all that you want in your life. At the other end of the spectrum you may be finding that every day is a real struggle with strong, even overwhelming, feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, anger etc. I believe that all of us want to strive to feel happier and more fulfilled than we currently are. We want to feel a connection with other people and to have a sense that we are leading meaningful, enjoyable lives - even when at times we feel at a loss as to how to achieve this.

Life doesn't really go as expected and finding the right support is key to move forward. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in combination with Systemic therapy allowing a tailored approach based on clients needs. CBT is aimed to support clients identifying the triggers and the dynamics that hide behind their difficulties, learning coping strategies to deal with them. Systemic therapy is often considered an approach to treat families and groups however, it also effectively apply to individuals.

I understand that life can be a struggle, with incredibly difficult and painful experiences encountered along the way. These can have a knock-on effect on how we cope day to day, view ourselves, respond to situations, how we are in relationships and how our mental health is. Things often get pushed to the side rather than dealt with, leaving us with an accumulation of unresolved issues, unfelt pain, and unacknowledged thoughts and feelings.

I am a very experienced therapist, I have worked within the NHS and in Private Practice since 1994 and am a Senior Jungian Analyst, a Training Analyst, an Examiner and a Supervisor. I have a special interest in working with people experiencing relationship difficulties, difficulties in the workplace and those suffering from depression and anxiety. There is a wisdom in anxiety, any emotional crisis is a call for personal growth, for insight and to a new path through life. The belief that symptoms have meaning leads to a more positive approach and outcome, so that suffering is not in vain but the prelude to a more meaningful life.

At any time in our lives events can take over leaving us feeling anxious or depressed; or early negative experiences or trauma can replay in our mind, causing distress. My belief is that each individual is the person best placed to make the right decisions about themselves, however, there are times when we can lose sight of who we are and feel taken over by negative thoughts, feelings and responses that seem to work at odds with the life we want to lead. Counselling can help to make sense of these thoughts, feelings and responses and explore options for change by providing a safe space where you will be heard and respected.

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Breathwork Coach, experienced in working with adults and children. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, allowing for personal growth and positive change. Empathy, understanding and acceptance are at the core of my client work. I won't ask 'what's wrong' but I will ask 'what happened'. As therapy progresses, I may draw on other therapeutic modalities that I have experience in, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, in order to best meet your needs. I may also use creative expression if this is something you are comfortable with.

Life can become overwhelming or difficult for a multiple of reasons. These can be due to specific event or as a result of an accumulation of life events. I create a space in which you can feel supported to explore these and their effects on your current life. We will work together in a way that feels comfortable for you to discover a way forward that is right for you. Everyone is unique, having their own experiences and beliefs which I will be sensitive to whilst we work together to help you live your life more aligned with your own values.

You might at times become ‘stuck’ in your thinking or maybe feel ‘trapped’ in a cycle of behaviour or a life role. You might be struggling to find a way forward or feel challenged about exploring deeper router issues, talking face to face with a counsellor is a great way to move forward. As your counsellor my intention is to invite you to think about things differently, to help you to move forward and develop new strategies for living or maybe to offer you an alternative perspective on the things being considered and discussed, but I will always offer unconditional acceptance of you and your perspective on any material you bring.

Being emotionally knocked by a health condition, pregnancy, parenting or work stress is entirely normal, but can feel isolating and distressing. I work with clients undergoing physical health investigations, people experiencing a range of difficulties around the perinatal period and clients experiencing work-related stressors, to help them navigate their own way through these tough times. This includes, for example; support in managing uncertainty whilst undergoing health investigations, building confidence around birth or parenting, guidance through difficulties at work and trauma processing.

The reason you're here... You're looking for change. Things have gone on long enough and you want to feel differently. Are the things on your mind impacting your decision making as doubt and imposter syndrome kicks in, waiting for you to be caught out? Maybe you're struggling to sleep as they go round and round, decisions you could/should have made? All the what ifs and maybes? The things on your mind might have been around a while, or maybe they're new but they just won't go away.  ​All of this resulting in stress, anxiety and your self-esteem and self-compassion taking a knock as you become more lost and unsure who you are.
