Counselling in Ruyton-XI-Towns

Welcome! I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering online therapy to help you navigate and reflect on the difficulties or problems you may be experiencing. In our sessions I will hold your story with careful attention, exploring how to make sense of what has brought you to therapy. I will offer you a welcoming space to be heard, known and valued. We will work together to explore your goals for therapy. I will not tell you should do or think, but rather guide you in developing a deeper understanding about yourself so that you can make the choices and decisions that align with your unique needs.

I provide in-person, face-to-face psychotherapy & counselling for individuals. I currently manage a psychotherapy practice in central Shrewsbury. I am a senior-accredited psychotherapist & counsellor with 20 years experience. I offer an exploratory meeting, at a reduced rate, that can help you feel more certain about whether to engage in therapy. In counselling, short or medium term therapy can help you address a specific problem. In psychotherapy longer-term work will help you focus on deeper issues.

Whether you're seeking support for a particular issue, struggling with a painful event or simply wanting more from life, counselling and psychotherapy can help you gain a deeper awareness and understanding of yourself, your relationships with others and your place in the world. Whatever you're experiencing, the therapeutic relationship nurtures a confidential space where you're truly listened to, and met with a balance of warmth, empathy and respectful challenge. In giving attention to whatever is painful and difficult, it can enable the emergence of a stronger sense of self, and connection with meaning, purpose, potential and hope.

Counselling is one way to give attention to aspects of our lives that trouble us. I concentrate on four areas of life. The first is when we feel bewildered, lost and disorientated. Second is when we see familiar, recurring patterns in ourselves. Third is the pleasures and difficulties of being with other people. Fourth is managing emotion and mood. Ways of thinking, reacting and managing distress vary widely as do practical circumstances. The need to find courage and energy can be tough.

I take the time to listen and understand your challenges and history and provide personally-tailored sessions to help you move forward with energy, clarity and direction.

I work with people who are looking to feel better and find more enjoyment in life. My clients may be experiencing specific difficulties such as stress, depression or anxiety, caused by demands of work, school or university or relationship challenges. Alternatively they may be struggling to make sense of life, looking to find a purpose or create change in one or more areas of their life. Some clients come for counselling as a form of personal or self-development, realising the importance of maintaining their emotional and mental wellbeing in the midst of all the various demands on their time and energy.

I am a qualified psychotherapist having trained at the world renowned Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. As well as running my own private practice I volunteered at Sutton Counselling & worked at an inpatient treatment centre for ex-service men and women dealing with PTSD. It is here, as well as a voluntary role with my local NHS IAPT service, that I gained extensive experience of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Because of this training & experience I am able to offer short and long term therapy using both psychodynamic and CBT methods. Online therapy has meant that I have worked successfully with clients across the globe

I specialise in supporting people who are finding life difficult or finding it hard to find a way forward; people with difficulties around sadness, depression, fear or anxiety, PTSD, trauma, recovering from abuse, or feeling stuck in their lives. Trauma and abuse can leave people with feelings of being alone, worthless, broken, or hopeless and helpless. People however, absolutely hold the seeds of their recovery within themselves, and with the right support and encouragement, they can start to build a better life with meaning and value. I aim to use my training, and knowledge and experience, to support people in their journey.

My private practice is set in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley, providing that much needed relaxing calm safe space. As a psychotherapist and Supervisor who has worked with trauma for over 17 years I am mainly focusing my work on those who have experienced narcissistic abuse. Please email me to book an appointment. I look forward to working with you.

Have you ever suffered Trauma in your life, which has lead to you feeling unable to cope, feeling suicidal or self harming? Do you feel confused, ashamed, scared, anxiety ridden and depressed, unable to make decisions? Do your relationships suffer as a consequence? Do you wish you could move forward with your life positively and leave the past behind? I use EMDR Therapy to help individuals to deal with a variety of issues, including: PTSD, Depression, Stress, Panic attacks, Anxiety, Sexual and Domestic Abuse, Rape, Pain Management, Social Anxiety, Phobias, Trauma, Personality Disorder, Relationship breakdown and many other issues.

Psychological and emotional distress are part of being human, I can help you identify and clarify the distress, then think about goals and changes that would be helpful to make. Together we find the barriers to these changes and work creatively to overcome them. I base my approach in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; CBT. This therapy continues to develop and be successfully adapted to a wide range of presentations and clinical situations, its strength being that it combines making flexible, practical changes which fit in with your values. Over time we can get used to doing things one way and sometimes need help to find alternatives.

Functional Neurological Disorder is a challenging condition to live with, however, with expert support and education is very manageable. I work with those living with FND (also DID) providing education, kindest of care, professional healing methods, hints and tips to avoid nervous system triggers causing tremors, cognitive fog, pain and blackouts/seizures. My intuitive skills are phenomenal and the application of parts work will allow us to address embodied trauma memories and encapsulations. This lessens anxiety, distress, panic and pain, increasing your levels of self knowledge and life management. All towards a calmer tomorrow

I work with couples, individuals and students from yr6 upwards. My training allows me to support clients to change, by raising their awareness of what they're doing and the effect of their choices on them and others. The main areas I look at are communication, how they listen and respond to others and why they respond in that way. Once the client is aware of where the response is coming from they can begin to adjust it, to fit the situation in front of them. I work with couples and children experiencing separation and loss either now or in the past, and help them to understand and regulate their feelings.

Hello, I am a Integrative Counsellor Psychotherapist in modalities including CBT, Person Centered, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis. I found myself drawn to Integrative Counselling due to my belief no two people are the same. In order to truly help an individual I feel you need to draw on different modalities, tailoring a therapy unique to them and their life journey. I am BACP registered and always demonstrate their beliefs and values being non judgmental and congruent, creating a safe environment for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Please feel free to contact with any questions you may have.

I help people who have been struggling with moderate/severe levels of stress, depression or anxiety so that you can quickly go from a place of fear, hopelessness and desperation to one of calm, relaxation and inner peace. The only problem is you've been treated poorly by past mental health professionals, tried a million things before which haven't worked and are starting to believe that you cannot be fixed... Unlike most traditional methods, the intensive holistic therapeutic programme (IHTP) targets all aspects of your life; past, present and future so that you can experience life truly free from mental illness - forever.
