Attachment-based Counselling in Rustington

I would image you find yourself here after looking at quite a few other profiles, or you are just starting off your initial search for a counsellor. Whatever your situation, I'm sure you're just hoping that someone's profile speaks to you in some way. Therapy is a big step; you’re realising you want to make changes to your life and that takes courage. My role is to be alongside you, to explore what is important to you right now without pressure or interruption.

Thanks for looking at my profile. I work with a broad range of clients, and understand that no two clients are the same. I tailor and specialise my clinical work to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. I'm interested in the subconscious, how we may adopt coping strategies in order to avoid pain, and how this in turn may exacerbate pain further. I'm also interested in how addictive behaviours may develop, and how I can pick apart addictive processes and help to modify them into more constructive strategies. I have specific interest in chronic pain/conditions, and have a variety of strategies to help in this area.

I am a psychotherapist and group analyst and have been a therapist for nearly 30 years in many different settings. In my approach, I am interested in making connections between experiences and difficulties in the present, with events and relationships from the past. In my experience, difficulties people experience as adults can often be part of a repeated pattern. I will be curious about relationships in your life but also the way you relate to yourself and to others. This will include how it is in the therapy relationship - whether individually or group.

We sometimes find it difficult to cope with the things that life throws at us, be it relationship issues, health problems, self esteem and self doubt, anxiety, depression, panic attacks or phobias. Sometimes we just need a safe space where we can explore and talk about the things that worry us with someone who can help us find our own way through the struggle in an empathic and totally non-judgmental way. I am a fully integrative psychotherapist offering counselling and hypnotherapy in a calm, mindful and supportive environment.

I can assist you in gaining insight & understanding into your history to help you make clearer decisions about your future. As we work together to understand the way you are, the easier it will be for you to make decisions to make your life, career and relationships happier, more balanced and more empowered. In therapy you will have a unique chance to be authentic without self-censorship or consideration of others; where the focus is solely on you. As there are so few chances to encounter this kind of interaction, this acts as a powerful catalyst for change and transformation.

I am here to help you through this difficult time, even if the issues you face feel insurmountable; we will use our time to develop a genuine and professional relationship which becomes the platform for your discovery and growth. The therapeutic space will make you feel comfortable, trusting and safe, and I will support you to make positive changes in your life.

Ultimately we all want to be happy and able to enjoy all that life has to offer; you have the power to take control of the problems weighing you down, let me help you achieve it.

Hello I’m Selene. I have 20 years of experience as a counsellor. I am a warm and open-minded person with a good sense of humour. I offer a welcoming and confidential space where we can together create an empowering therapeutic relationship. I believe you are an expert in your own life and my role is to support and challenge you reconnecting with yourself and your strengths.

Sometimes fear and shame make us stuck and disconnected from others and not able to ask for what we want. Therapy can help you free yourself and open connection.
