Counselling in HA1

You may find yourself in a moment of change and uncertainty. You may be searching for satisfaction in the things you do. You may be struggling with self-doubt, motivation, feeling un-clear in your decisions. You might like to have relationships that feel fulfilling and consider your needs. Maybe you would like to begin identifying what your needs might be. You may like to work on understanding yourself and your life situation in a deeper way - even if that feels a bit scary. It can be useful to reflect on the past and how it has led you to where you find yourself today as it can illuminate different choices you want moving forward.

Are you someone that feels unmotivated or lost? Do you feel like you are living life through a glass window? Have you lost courage to go after your dreams? My passion is to understand the unconscious motivations stopping us from living our desired life. I believe that therapy enables us to have a deeper understanding of our fears and limiting beliefs. It also enables us to reflect on our emotions before and after we react. It is to become more aware of our repetitive behaviour and relationship patterns to the world. In our sessions we will exchange ideas and explore new brain pathways to recognize the patterns holding you back.

Life can be challenging, hard and demanding at times and we could all use someone to talk to and explore our thoughts, feelings and ideas with. As an experienced, qualified and an accredited person-centred therapist, I can offer a safe, confidential and freeing space where I can support you and your needs in a non-judgemental, open and honest environment, which can enable genuine change to occur in your life. Having worked alongside clients who have presented with issues such as, abuse, depression, anxiety, loss, stress and more I can understand how scary seeking counselling can be - however my role is to support you through this.

In today's modern and hectic world we often leave little time for ourselves. As a GP I see people usually when they are suffering, once a problem presents in their life. Yet there is so much one can do BEFORE getting to this junction... and so much more that can be done AFTER entering a troubled period in life.

Do you feel the need to be listened to without judgement? Do you need a safe place to talk through your thoughts and feelings? I work with all aspects of emotional well being and truly believe that a person has the potential for growth and change given the space, time and acceptance. In turn, finding your own answers and finding a way of moving towards an emotionally healthier way of living . I work with a wide range of issues including anger, anxiety disorders, depression, low self esteem, relationships, suicide, loss and bereavement and domestic abuse.

Sometimes life gets in the way and we need to pause and get a deeper understanding to be able to grow. Engaging with psychotherapy can help gain insight and clear one’s mind to make the appropriate decisions. Psychotherapy is a journey that can be hard at times but its long term benefits are worth the effort.

As a Counsellor I work in a client led approach empathically catering towards the clients needs and goals. My approach is Psychodynamic that means I can help clients deal with the unresolved issues of their past to possibly make sense with the present. Life can be confusing and scary at times making one feel stuck and lost, much like being in a storm .I can help clients find their way through the storm so that they can eventually achieve some sort of clarity and begin to cope with the challenges of every day life.

I provide a safe space for you to feel comfortable to open up and explore what is going on for you, in a non judgmental environment that is completely your own. I always do what I feel is best for the client(s). I am an Integrative therapist who works with different approaches to support each client. I believe that each person will find at least one approach that will work best for them. Life has its challenges whether they be expected/unexpected, with therapy we can work through them together.

Maybe you feel numb and detached from life and everything seems to be foggy like your watching life through a glass window? Maybe you work so hard not to be critically depressed all the time, that it has turned into a full time job with no energy for anything else. The insight obtained in therapy, will help you to better identify your needs and will give you a greater freedom and maturity when responding to difficult situations and indeed, everyday life. I am helping individuals to unravel, experience and understand their true, deep-rooted feelings in order to resolve them in safe and contained environment.

I offer a therapy space which is friendly, calm and purposeful. A space for you to explore, understand and process your thoughts, feelings and experiences. In sessions, I am interested in your feelings, experiences, patterns in all relationships, and how your past and present experiences drive some of the challenges that you encounter.

You might be experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, situational dilemma, unhappiness, difficulty in relationships or even may be abuse of some kind. Through therapy and talking to me in a safe environment, I might be able to help you to understand your inner self and work with your uncomfortable feelings. The promise is not an instant solution to all your presenting issues or an instant happiness but the goal would be to achieve near enough to live a content life. My aim to work with the clients is to explore their own strengths, abilities as well to acknowledge the feelings and thoughts they might be going through.
