A successful counseling relationship is established through the creation of an authentic and confidential space between the client and therapist. This space serves as a safe haven where you can openly discuss your challenges, concerns, anxieties, frustrations, and emotional struggles. Within this environment, you will encounter a non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere that allows for reflection on the issues that have led you to seek counseling.

Finding the right counsellor can feel overwhelming. Looking at profiles, trying to get a feel for a person with whom you might share your world. I put great importance on my relationship with my clients. Getting to know you, understand you and how you experience life is at the core of who I am. As a Person-Centred counsellor, my belief is that you have the answers. Sometimes, we just need a little help making sense of what is going on inside. I work, looking at your own unique experiences, in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space

Relationships can be challenging especially if the communication is poor. Couples Therapy can enable a better understanding of one another and with a better understanding, acceptance or change can be possible. No one deserves to be in an unhappy relationship. Working as an experienced Couples and Relationship Therapist, I am aware that small niggles, intimacy challenges or deeper underlying sadness can bring a couple to seek help. I offer an empathic space to discuss any issues together without judgment or shame.

I have a vast range of experience in working with clients with varying presenting issues. I am empathic and caring and will support you in your journey. I was drawn to counselling from my own life experiences. One of the most important things I feel I can offer to you as a client is empathy. Previously I have volunteered with a grief charity as part of my journey to being the fully qualified counsellor I am now. This journey has taken me 8 years of academic study and volunteering in a variety of counselling agencies. I feel I am still on my own personal journey, which will never end in terms of learning.

Divorce Counsellors

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
