Male Counselling in Stourport-on-Severn

Everybody faces struggles, but nobody's struggles are the same. And everybody, at some time, needs help (although it can be so hard to ask for it). My work as a psychologist has been with many different people facing a wide range of challenges. My role has been to work with them and empower them to make the changes they need to live a life that is more meaningful to them. Is it easy? In my experience, it is not. Making change is scary, tough and brave. You may not believe you are capable of this. But the fact that you are reading this suggests that you are getting ready to try. This is where I, as a Clinical Psychologist, can help.

You may be experiencing a concern in your life for which you would like support. In therapy we look together at how well your needs are being met and the impact of this on your emotional wellbeing. Using the Human Givens framework (https://www.hgi.org.uk/) we also look at how you can use your innate resources more productively to meet these needs. Within this my approach is empathic, fluid and flexible, drawing on a range of approaches to suit you as the client. It is effective for anxiety, depression and addiction, often in a few sessions. For trauma a safe, non-intrusive and highly effective approach is available.

I'm passionate about helping people to resolve their problems and achieve their goals. This is therapy not simply to understand yourself, manage your emotions or control your behaviour but, rather, to resolve therapeutic problems permanently by identifying the biographical origins and 'relearning' the experience. The main approach used, Relearning Experience Process, is a brief, solution-focused therapy requiring only a few consultations to achieve complete resolution. I have 23 years' experience helping people overcome OCD, PTSD, childhood abuse, depression, social anxiety, lack of confidence or assertiveness and need for approval.

You may be seeking support with how you see the world, with relationships to family, partner or friends and work. You may be feeling alone or confused, under pressure and in pain. In our therapy sessions we will work together to gain a sense of where you are in your life and how you understand your self and where you are. Together we can build a sense of safety and understanding through which you may gain feeling supported and motivated.

I help you feel heard in your relationships and help you listen accurately. I educate you in some of the basics of neuroscience to help you make sense of why your brain guides you in the way it does. I coach you in exploring how your past can continue to affect and infect your present so you can choose to do something different that will make a difference.
