I undertake ongoing professional development.

Hi I'm Tanya - I appreciate how difficult and anxiety provoking making the first move to talk to someone can be. The way I work is to provide you with an empathic and confidential safe space, allowing you to fully explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions and to be actually listened to - non-judgementally or without expectation. When you are heard and understood it is easier to come to a clearer understanding of what is going on for you. I will be led by you and tailor my approach to suit you. I can support you in facilitating change, provide coping mechanisms for difficult feelings or just be with you with whatever you bring.

I can offer you a safe warm and compassionate space so that we can build a trusting and therapeutic relationship. I am committed to working with you at your pace and at the level of depth you require to find a way through some of the struggles you may be faced with. I understand how daunting it can be to reach out for help, so I would like to assure you that I will do my best to make this as comfortable as it can be for you. I am deeply committed to providing you with a genuine counselling service tailored to meet your needs. I offer face to face, Skype, Whatsapp or Facetime sessions.

Whether you are looking for support through challenging times or trying to make sense of your life, talking to a professional counsellor can be really valuable when things feel overwhelming and uncertain, we all need help at times. Feelings we can’t manage or make sense of can impact on our whole sense of well-being and prevent us from living our lives fully. Counselling can help manage current situations and look at new ways of coping. It can also give us insight, understanding and perspective on past experiences.

You may be feeling depressed, anxious or not even sure what you are feeling. Maybe you can't see a way forward and are wondering how and why you got to this unhappy place in your life. Maybe your relationship is not how you imagined it would be, but you don't know how to make it better. You may have worries around friendships, health, addictions, money, family or work. These are all issues that many people struggle with and counselling can really make a difference to help you to stop suffering and support you to make changes in your life for the better.

I will draw upon my many years of training to offers a treatment best suited to meet individual needs. In a secure and containing environment it will be encouraged to explore present day issues and life situations in relation to associated thoughts and feelings . With the use of different approaches hard to manage life situations which at times may be felt as emotionally blocking and confusing can start to be thought about explored and understood, once processed a new sense self awareness can offer a thinking space and a sense of clarity whereby present and future life choices and goals can be consciously known and manifested.

It is about the "why" and "how". If you find yourself stuck in repeating behaviours which adversely affect your life, or feel depressed and anxious most of the time, it might be time to tell your story to explore why it unfolded in the way it did. Understanding why we came to be where and who we are today, gives us tools to shape how we want to be tomorrow. This type of therapy is not a “quick fix” solution to your problem. Psychodynamic thinking involves exploring patterns in your behaviour, finding links between your past and present, with a view to unlock your “inner working template" and adjust it to meet your current needs.

I work using a combination of Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) approaches. I believe that this offers you the best of both worlds.

Talking to a professional counsellor can help you process those feelings and move towards a more contented life. I will not judge you and I will always work at your pace. I offer a careful balance of support and gentle challenge.
