Online Counselling for Trowbridge

What do you need? It is sometimes helpful to ask yourself - "What are my main goals as I go for counselling? What is important to me right now? How would I like to change?" Often all someone needs is some quality time and space to be able to be themselves, and be heard - not feeling judged no matter what they say, and feel some compassion from somebody who cares. In the busy world in which we live, I provide that space for you to unwind, off-load and rediscover who you are, as well as deal with the problems you are experiencing - and change.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story. Talking about our life honestly and openly, with an empathic and non-judgemental therapist can be a deeply healing process. Having a space where we can be fully ourselves, where we’re invited to slow down, breathe and investigate our inner world and our emotions is necessary, today, more than ever. We live busy lives and for many, it is difficult to stop and notice, most of the time, what is going on inside us. As we reconnect to our feelings and our essence there is an immediate sense

My ideal client is someone who will be honest with me in order for us to work together. I enjoy working with clients who are not really sure why they feel the way they do, but know that something is not quite right and feel the need to investigate this further. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with clients who have anxiety, depression, lack of self confidence and body image issues along with relationship difficulties. I work with clients to identify their needs and goals to create a unique personal treatment plan in order for them to reach their goals within a sensible time frame.

If you are repeating patterns of relating, thinking, feeling and behaving that are confusing, distressing or difficult, I aim to build a therapeutic relationship with you that is safe enough to give voice to how those patterns may be complicating your life and sense of identity. And thus, help you identify any changes you may choose to make in your everyday life.

I am a very experienced therapist having worked in the NHS for over 11 years. My approach is integrative informed by both CBT, MBCT and Humanistic person centred therapies. I offer a calm and steady place where you can feel safe to explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. I am able to work in a focused way to help to resolve specific issues or offer a longer term commitment that follows your own pace. I am open minded and accepting being particularly skilled at working with people who are marginalised and have experienced judgement and misunderstanding.

I am a qualified and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, experienced in treating anxiety, depression and PTSD. If you want to find ways to think and do things differently to feel better, then CBT could be right for you. Together, in a safe and structured way, we will make sense of what may be keeping you stuck and empower you to learn strategies to work towards your own goals. This could involve learning new coping techniques, challenging negative thoughts and beliefs, or experimenting with different ways of doing things. By the end of therapy you should have new tools to be able to live your life differently.

You will find me a very practical couples therapist. If you are having problems with relationships, or with money or problems at work, I have been there. And they are all linked.
