These are some of the things people may be thinking or saying when they decide to seek professional support: "I experience awful feelings of panic." "I feel anxious a lot of the time. "I feel tearful a lot." "I can feel angry all day and it feels bad." "Life appears very confusing and complicated" I offer professional counselling, support and strategies to help you navigate your way through whatever your issues may be, already in the first session. I hold a professional psychotherapy diploma from the Human Givens Institute. This approach helped a family member with anxiety very much which is why I chose to train in it also.

There are times in our lives when we feel that no one understands or is interested in what is going on for us. We can be left feeling misunderstood and uncared for. Talking about what is going on for us can be very difficult because it is not easy to find someone we can trust. I offer a person-centred approach but also use a holistic approach to therapy, this aids with focuses on an individual’s self-worth and values. I believe that being valued as a person, without the fear of being judged can help an individual to accept who they are and help reconnect with themselves with the people and things that are precious to them.

At The Bodart Practice we know that life can be fast-paced, stressful and overwhelming, leaving you without much time or energy for focusing on building the life you had imagined for yourself. As psychologists and holistic therapists, we recognised that the keys to creating fulfilment required helping people connect with all aspects of their life, not only their mental health. We believe that every person deserves to find the clarity and direction they need to understand their past, live more fully in the present, and take steps to build the future they want.

If you're happy to go ahead, we can then move to meeting in person.
Life can often be complex and exploring issues in conversation with another person can be illuminating, perhaps understanding how past experiences are influencing current issues. This can and does bring about change in our relationship with ourselves and others. In our sessions together, you can talk about whatever is on your mind from the present or the past, and bring feelings and thoughts for us to consider. Your trust and sense of safety is important so I will encourage you to move at your own pace.

Are you fed up with feeling trapped in the same unhelpful relationship patterns? Do you feel stuck in self-sabotaging cycles, judging yourself harshly yet still making the same mistakes over and over? Perhaps you feel your childhood might be the root of these difficulties, but either can't quite put your finger on why, or if you do have a clear sense, can't put them behind you, where they belong. If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, perhaps attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapy might help.

Are you the parent of a young person who is struggling with their emotional wellbeing? Or perhaps you are an adult who finds it difficult to cope with overwhelming emotions. Maybe you find it difficult to articulate how you’re feeling which is frustrating - you want support and simply don’t know where to turn. Do you find it difficult to maintain relationships with others and not understand why? Maybe you’re at your wits’ end either because you're a parent who feels you cannot get through to your child, or you're struggling with emotional overwhelm yourself. I'm here to let you know you don’t have to do this alone.

I like to offer a safe, calm and supportive space to people who are facing difficulty in their lives. Do you have a sense of feeling confused, stuck or disappointed in relationships? Perhaps you want to talk about a disturbing loss or new circumstances. You might be facing change as you take on an unfamiliar role or pursue a new goal. Some people come to see me suffering from a lack of meaning or enjoyment in their lives. I've worked with people who don’t yet know what the matter is – or who feel like everything has gone wrong.

Whether you are seeking support for a specific issue or simply a space to process difficult emotions, my primary aim is to provide a compassionate and confidential environment where you feel safe to explore anything on your mind, no matter how big or small. I believe that building a trusting relationship, where you feel truly seen and heard without judgment or prejudice, is the key to fostering meaningful change, whether in short-term or long-term therapy.
