Anxiety Counselling in Liverpool

I am a somatic-focused, psychotherapist who has been working in the mental health sector since 2016. I hold a strong belief in working with bodily held emotions and memories, making use of authentic movement exploration and the use of creative tasks; such as drawing, object relational projection to support the therapeutic process of the client. I am experienced in a wide range of client needs, which spans from Low level anxiety to high intensity PTSD. My main focus is to support my clients to engage in the present to reach their full potential.

I am a warm, empathetic and dynamic Psychotherapist offering online or face to face counselling. I work with a range of issues including; anxiety , bereavement, depression, relationship breakdowns, family conflicts, life transitions & low self-esteem. I have an extensive career working for large companies as a HR Manager which enables me to support clients with any work-related issues such as; work-place bullying, stress and career transitions. I also offer leadership  coaching.

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.

Having practised as a therapist for twenty years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Counselling can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and confusion and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

I offer both long term and short term individual therapy sessions for clients. I have experience of working with clients for short term work through to therapeutic relationships which have lasted over years. The length of each individual sessions is always 50 minutes, however the length of time we work together is always guided by the client and the goals that they wish to achieve in therapy.
