Counselling in Market Drayton

My professional training is person-centred counselling and I tend towards a receptive, empathic and gentle approach. I would like to assist you on your journey towards your solution as if I am your co-pilot sitting beside you. The objective is that you discover “peace” in your mind, and the client and counsellor relationship is paramount. Being Japanese, my experience has been across cultures by necessity, and I am fascinated to work with clients who have different cultural backgrounds to the majority.

About me: I am a developmental psychologist (D.Phil) with a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling. My practice is based on the belief that only the client is the expert on their own life. What I offer is a warm, supportive and empathic environment to facilitate your personal growth, and help you deal with whatever you are struggling with. About my Practice: My practice is based in Market Drayton, Shropshire, within easy reach of Crewe, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent. I offer 50 minute sessions once a week, and there are no minimum or maximum limits. In line with good practice I offer a regular review.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I know how hard it can sometimes be admitting that you may need help and getting to that point of reaching out for support. I have a passion for helping people to get the most out of life. It may be that you have been carrying around some unresolved baggage for a long time, maybe some new issue has emerged or maybe you don’t know why you are feeling low or confused or overwhelmed. I’d love to be able to walk beside you on your journey - together we might be able to discover goals for your life and find real meaning and purpose, which sometimes gets lost along the way.

Hello and welcome. I’m wondering if you’re here because you’re suffering in some way. Perhaps no one understands, cares or even notices. You feel alone in this and you’re struggling to cope. Maybe you feel disconnected, lost, or confused. You want the pain to stop or something to change but don’t know how. I’m interested if you’re looking for someone who will truly listen to you, recognise your pain, and understand what you’re going through. Life to be better and freer where you feel reconnected to who you are.

As a Doctor of Counselling Psychology my training has been in a wide range of theoretical approaches as accredited by the British Psychological Society and this enables me to work effectively with people with a wide range of psychological difficulties and mental health problems.

Welcome to my profile, I understand just how difficult and challenging life can be at times, it may be a strained or broken relationship, family problems or self-esteem issues holding you back, a bereavement, depression, anxiety or work stress. Just talking through your worries and problems can really help. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you are listened to, in an atmosphere of calm and respect that is confidential. Together we can unravel your thoughts and feelings about the past and present to bring a new insight and clarity to your situation, enabling you to move towards a more positive future and wellbeing.

Hello. Do you feel stuck, confused or overwhelmed? Are you being held back by anxiety, depression or a lack of self worth? Do you know what you want to achieve, but need someone to motivate, guide and reassure you? Perhaps you are worried about the well-being of family members, colleagues or friends? As well as working with anxiety, depression, trauma or stress, I also specialise in working with individuals and families affected by Autism. I can diagnose autism and help schools to provide the best support to students. As well as providing individual therapy, I can devise and deliver training relating to mental health and resilience.

Are you feeling an overwhelming tangle of emotions or having sleepless nights worrying about your problems. Maybe you have doubts or feel indecisive about the next steps in your personal or work life. Personal or work issues, general anxiety, depression or stress can all impact on life and leave the feeling of being unable to cope. It is more common that you might think and many people find talking to a professional really helps them to find their way forward. You've taken the first step with your search and with many years experience in supporting people with a wide range of issues, I can help you on the path to feeling better.

For some, life throws us a curveball and often when we’re least expecting it. Others may feel that pressures have been building over a long period of time. We can face challenges and get stuck which sometimes can be overwhelming. Depression, anxiety, stresses and issues in life may lead you to needing a person to talk to who is neutral, non-judgmental, empathetic and a good listener. Your wellbeing is important to me so I will treat you with the upmost respect and work with you to help achieve your goals. Based in Eccleshall I am close to Stafford, Stone, Market Drayton, Loggerheads, Stoke, Newport and Telford.
