Adults Counselling in GL5

Do you find yourself going around painful and frustrating circles in your life and relationships? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed and uncertain how to move forward? Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we just need another person to help us find a new path. Therapy can help us make sense of our feelings, thoughts and actions. It can support us to work through difficult emotions and memories and enable us to find the courage and compassion needed to forge a better life for ourselves. Choosing a therapist can be daunting, but having an initial chat on the phone can help you decide if someone feels like a good fit for you.

I am a 'Human Givens' Psychotherapist (www.hgi.org.uk). Whilst my HG journey started in 2009 my work in the field began 20 years prior. I have since taught on a counselling diploma, worked as a therapist with adults , staff within organisations, teachers, parents, young people and children overseas as well as in the UK (particularly Sri Lanka). In private practice my strengths lie in flexibility and creativity - tailor-making my approach to each client. I use an eclectic approach within the Human Givens framework, knowing exactly why each varied and different technique can be effective in accordance with current neuroscience.

Lots of us face challenging situations at some stage in our lives, which can be difficult to manage.

Welcome...we are a 'pay what you can' counselling service supporting adults living in Gloucestershire. We aim to provide an inclusive, easy-to-access service, where the fee you pay is an amount that takes into account your individual circumstances on a sliding scale between £15.00-£50.00.

My aim is to offer a supportive space to help you explore issues creating distress in areas of your life. With empathy and compassion, I will help you to express thoughts, feelings, emotions which may be too painful to explore alone and which are preventing you from making important decisions or making you feel stuck. Emotional distress can trigger symptoms of stress, anxiety, impacting your physical health and wellbeing. I will help you to identify, explore and overcome the areas that you are struggling with, supporting you towards healing and recovery from the overwhelm you may be facing, toward the life you truly desire.

I work with clients to help them to gain some insight into their feelings, thoughts and behaviours. We can sometimes feel that, somewhere along the way, we’ve lost a sense of what really matters to us, of how we want to live our lives. This can lead to a feeling of being stuck in habitual modes of thinking and feeling. Are you noticing the same patterns repeating themselves and would like somewhere to explore this further? It can be difficult to know how to make new choices for ourselves. Together, we can create the space to explore what is happening for you and to increase your awareness of how you are living your life.

We all face difficult times in life, in fact I think we could just say, life is difficult. In counselling you will be thinking with another person about how you manage life’s struggles, how you relate to friends and family and how your present situation may be related to your past experiences. Talking and thinking with another can bring about a new perspective to old problems or worries and help you find new ways of approaching things. in. In my experience even small changes can have a very positive impact. Speaking to someone might feel a bit daunting to begin with but I find people soon settle in.

You might be in crisis: a relationship breakdown, sudden news of the death of a loved one or an illness, a work loss, or at an emotional or spiritual crossroads. Or you may generally have the feeling that your life isn't all you'd like it to be - you feel stuck, aren't living up to your potential or feeling as fulfilled or happy as you would like. Either way, you can be supported to navigate successfully through the very choppy waters of crisis - or the fog of confusion or uncertainty. You don't have to go it alone! You may well emerge from the other side a stronger and happier person than you ever thought possible.

Therapy offers an important step in discovering the world around us and finding our place in it. For some people, coming to therapy is a big step. It can take courage to identify a need to heal, recover or progress. My approach aims to ensure that you feel safe in the knowledge that you can trust the therapeutic process. Maintaining the core values of empathy, unconditional positive regard for you as well as congruence (being authentic), I also use other modes of therapy.

The reasons for seeking therapy are many. I am a strong believer in our ability as individuals to change how we feel, think and react to the situations we find ourselves in and which may be causing us difficulty. I see my role as a therapist as a facilitator, allowing a client to learn about themselves, their relationships and their behaviours.
