Counselling in Hereford

As a North Wales counsellor, I offer empathetic, tailored support, specialising in men's mental health, runner's mental well-being, industry burnouts, family/couples therapy, children and young person therapy. My practice focuses on helping clients combat challenges, advocating for work-life balance, strengthening relationships. I utilise various evidence-based therapies, continually expanding my skills to provide optimal care. Ultimately, my mission is to empower individuals to thrive despite their mental health challenges.

Person centred and a Trauma informed practitioner; I use compassionate inquiry to understand the whole person. Through the therapy, we unravel past experiences, to help you find out how to move forward leaving trauma, guilt, shame and other emotions behind. Counselling can be an extremely daunting and anxiety inducing process, especially when you are a private person who powers through; talking about interior thoughts can feel alien and uncomfortable; therefore it is paramount to find a Counsellor who will put you at ease and 'gets you' - especially during a time when you are in need of emotional support.

Sometimes in life we get stuck in patterns which, though once useful ways of being and relating, have now outgrown their usefulness to us, perhaps beginning to get in our way even. Psychotherapy can offer both the space to express, grasp and understand these patterns and then the support and challenge to grow in ways which seem right for you. I draw on a range of sources to bring my curiosity to meet you as a whole person. I am interested in your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and what may be going on in your body as well as what may emerge in the here and now of our relationship.

I offer a free 50-minute consultation near the centre of Frome to see if working together feels right. Building trust takes time and it is my hope that meeting in person will give you the best sense of how I work. As a registered UKCP Psychotherapist in training, I provide Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy—a trauma-informed, awareness-based, approach that draws from both ancient Eastern and contemporary Western perspectives on the mind and body. In this somatic approach to psychotherapy, we work with an awareness of the sensations of the body to support an understanding of how we find ourselves in the present moment.

I am a Transactional Analysis Counsellor and offer online and face to face counselling for those presenting with issues such as relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, anxiety, sexual difficulties, stress, anger management and loneliness. You may be feeling in a difficult place, perhaps unable to find the words to describe and understand your experience. Sometimes this can feel very lonely and isolating, and in this place we may feel that no one can relate to us and no one understands.

The overall aim of Counselling and Therapy is to provide an opportunity for you to work towards living by where experiences are more satisfying. The process of Counselling becomes itself one of life's new situations: It offers an opportunity to experience life differently and to extend the range of ways in which you can operate in the world with greater satisfaction. "EVERY JOURNEY STARTS WITH ONE SMALL STEP"!!!!

I have wide experience counselling a diverse range of clients experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, grief, anger issues, confidence issues, relationship difficulties, issues around sex, issues at work, addiction, eating issues, abuse, trauma and autism. I work in conjunction with NHS services and other health professionals to support adults in the South West. I have a particular interest in working with clients with relationship difficulties (including sex issues), clients affected by narcissism in their relationships, and clients with somatic problems including pain, chronic fatigue, ME, IBS and fibromyalgia.

The experience of coming for therapy is an opportunity for you to discover for the first (or subsequent) time in life that you can let go of all the judgements, the fear and hesitation, and begin to talk about what is bothering you. We become wounded within a sense of connectedness - in families, relationships, friendships and society - and paradoxically it is within a sense of connectedness that we can begin to heal. Healing the emotional brain takes time, but it is a creative and deeply fulfilling process that brings wonderful gifts with itself. I help my clients to begin to feel more balanced and calm within their mind and body.

I’m passionate about helping you make more of your life, whether you want to work on personal, psychological, relationship, mental health or spiritual issues or to find more meaning, fulfilment, purpose and happiness in life.

I help men, women and couples of many professions, occupations and nationalities, from 18 upwards in UK and (online) overseas. I provide individual sessions, couples sessions and am a qualified counselling supervisor.

You have made it this far because you have realised that this issue is now causing you emotional or psychological pain.  You owe it to yourself to take the next step and go and reach out for help whether it be with myself or another therapist.  Don't let yourself down any longer,  I wish you well and know from my own experience a little more awareness can create in you the healing you ache for. I will provide a unique tailored therapy that is yours alone.
