Twists, knocks, and roadblocks are an inevitable part of life. These often lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, low self-worth, and difficulties in daily living, relationships, and work. My integrative therapeutic approach, coupled with an open and honest style will allow us to tailor our work to your specific requirements. I strongly believe that the client should feel comfortable with the therapist and be able to share what they need in order to work through any difficulties.

I feel that reaching out to talk to someone can be difficult, we may feel a sense of the unknown and therefore I understand that the process may be challenging. On the other hand, you may have spoken to someone before or feel at ease. Either way, through our work together I feel you have the potential to grow, develop, heal and work towards achieving your goals. No experience or issue is too large for us to work through. Therapy provides a time and space for reflection, exploration, support and understanding that we may not readily have in our day to day lives. For this reason, I feel it can hold great value.

Unheard, misunderstood, confused, unsure, lost, desperate, feeling stuck, wanting to feel 'normal'. Any of these reasons and more can lead us to seek Counselling. I have been a therapist for 10 years, and practice in a Person-Centred way. What this means is, I truly believe when someone comes to see me they want to be listened to, not told it will be OK, or try this and do that. You have probably tried those things and still feel the same. What's needed is someone with the skill to help you navigate your feelings on a deeper level, to give you greater understanding of how you have come to feel the way you do.

Welcome! My name is Urte and I'm a person-centred therapist. Sometimes adverse life experiences can leave you struggling and needing some extra support to get through difficult times. No matter what you are struggling with at the moment it is important to know that you are not alone, no matter what challenges you are facing. I truly believe that we all have the potential to grow and heal and that counselling works to facilitate this process. I have experience working with people with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, work & academic worries, abuse, bullying and self-esteem issues.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you suffering with anxiety or low self-worth?Have you recently been through a significant change or something traumatic? We can’t always prepare ourselves for what life throws at us, so if theres something you’ve been struggling with or something you’d like the be different, it’s the perfect place to explore this. In my time in practice I have specialised in working with people in distress because of bereavement, trauma and anxiety. I work with adults and young people and have a wealth of experience in helping people through loss and significant life changes.

Sports Performance Counsellors
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualisation, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
