Psychoanalytic Counselling in Stroud

I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor working in Private practice with experience of working with a wide range of client Groups. The age range varies from 14 year old teens to older adults experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, stress and depression, work related problems, loss and bereavement. I work with clients from diverse communities with diverse issues by providing them with a tailored therapy that matches their needs. This is done in a therapeutic and safe setting in which they can talk about distressing and stressful experiences with unconditional positive regard & confidentiality underpinning the whole process.

Whatever your circumstances, I am here to help. ‘Tutum' is a latin word which means 'safe'.​ I founded Tutum Psychology to provide a safe space for people to talk. The scientific literature has shown that feeling safe in your therapeutic relationship is important in order for therapy to be a success.

There may be all sorts of reasons why you are seeking therapy at this point in your life. Perhaps it feels like you are inclined to follow other people's wishes instead of your own. Perhaps, you are unable to make a decision for yourself. Psychotherapy may bring you closer to what is true of you as an individual. From my perspective, the patient and the therapist are active participants in the transformation process. As a therapist, I provide you with the support and the space to figure things out in your own individual way.

As an experienced Clinical Psychotherapist, I provide counselling to adults and couples. I describe myself as an Integrative Clinical Psychotherapist; My experience and training have enabled me to develop expertise in various treatment models which enables me to draw on different approaches and techniques that suit the person you are and the issues that you are presented with. I am trained in Psychodynamic, Existential and Person-Centred therapies. My theoretical approach is predominantly informed by psychoanalytic /psychodynamic therapy, which explores how the unconscious mind influences thoughts and behaviours.

Through a safe and confidential environment one can address issues and construct meaning around intricate and challenging experiences. Taking the first step, and asking for help is a significant step toward reflecting, understanding and thinking about one's internal world.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Wokingham. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists. My work is psychoanalytic in nature and offers open ended treatment. This kind of therapy is based on the idea that what we experience as a conscious difficulty in the present may point to an unconscious problem with roots in the past. You may find you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, self-destructive behaviours or difficulties at work or in relationships and want to have a better understanding of what underpins these issues.
