Counselling in Liverpool

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with many years of experience working with people who have diverse needs, and from diverse cultural backgrounds. I posses high degree of empathy, compassion, understanding and creativity as well as cultural competences. This enhances my excellent knowledge of the principles of all counselling approaches that I subscribe to. I have proven track record of effective therapeutic outcomes with clients I have worked with in different settings. I have a strong sense of integrity when dealing with clients, a commitment to keeping information confidential when necessary in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.

I believe the relationship between the client and counsellor is hugely important. I am a warm and approachable person, focused on putting you at ease. At times in life, it can feel that people don't understand us, like we are being judged for the way we feel. It can be helpful to communicate these thoughts and emotions to gain a clarity and understanding to help you find a more fulfilling way of living. From personal experience, I understand that counselling can help make profound changes in their lives and relationships. These changes happen through a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves.

I support clients struggling with family trauma, social anxiety and health issues. You may have found that over time the coping strategies you previously relied on have stopped working and patterns of behaviour from the past are holding you back. You may feel isolated and worn down by these old habits, no longer able to cope in the way you used to as it becomes harder to put a brave face on what is an increasingly challenging situation. Working together, with empathy and without judgement, in a safe, supportive and confidential environment, we can explore your experience and help you to find a better way forward that brings you joy.

It's hard to 'tick box' problems. Problems often do not fit into easy categories as each person has their own individual history and way of being, and so difficulties emerge in a unique way to the individual. For example, depression or anxiety might be completely normal reactions to a difficult situation, but it might seem that people are saying "oh, you've got depression" as if it is a cold and it's your fault. Anxious about contacting me? I would encourage you not to be too anxious about making contact regarding counselling or psychotherapy. Feeling anxious is a normal aspect of therapy, especially at first. I was anxious too.

I am a person- centred experiential therapist (PCE) which means I work with what you as the client are experiencing in the moment and help you to explore your emotional process to gain meaning within it. If you are struggling to understand your own feelings this may be the model of therapy for you. Quite often there can be a disconnection between are thoughts and feelings as our thoughts can take over. PCE can help you to re -connect by focusing in on your emotions to gain deeper understanding. My belief is that past trauma/ anxiety is embodied and stays unresolved within us until we can connect with it.

Hi, I’m Corrie, My private practice is based in the Liverpool area and I am currently offering online sessions via Zoom for anyone in or outside the area. So just send me a text or email and I'll try to get back to you within 24 hours. I have experienced anxiety and depression myself and found counselling helped me and also motivated me to become a counsellor myself. I have an understanding of how difficult it can be to ask for help and be able to openly discuss issues you may be dealing with. Therefore, I provide a safe non-judgemental and confidential space where you can feel comfortable to be yourself.

You might be seeking support for many reasons, such as anxiety, addictions, loss of direction, self harm, identity issues, relationship difficulties or trauma. I will create the conditions to help you feel deeply listened to and explore what ever brought you into therapy. These basic conditions will often make you feel accepted, more confident in your judgements and less afraid of expressing your thoughts and emotions. From that place you can start to deeply explore and learn about who you are and undergo your personal journey of healing and transformation
