Hello and welcome, I am Gabi, I am a BACP registered counsellilng psychotherapist of 10 years. There are times when we feel ourself stressed, anxious, sad, tearful or angry, more so than normal, or feeling depressed and overwhelmed? Sometimes we have a reason; grief and loss, past trauma resurfacing, illness or identity crisies! Other times there seems to be no reason, we just can't make sense of things. We feel stuck even unable to even find words to make sense of it all. All you do know is you don't feel right and you want to feel better, and to make sense of these issues.

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I believe that the most important part of therapy is that we build a strong and therapeutic relationship together so that you can feel safe to explore your feelings and concerns. We all have times in our life when we need support and it is not always possible to sort things out with the help of family and friends. I would be there to listen and not judge, in a confidential and caring environment. Counselling can feel daunting but can help to empower you to explore and reflect on ways of making changes and moving forward with your life.

Hello and welcome. Counselling helps you understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. We will explore what you’re finding difficult, and unpack this further. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can talk openly, be heard and listened to without judgement. Are you or your teen struggling emotionally? Have you suffered a bereavement, or is anxiety taking control? I can offer you a space where you can begin to express yourself, and process what’s going on for you. Counselling can help you with relationships, communication and self worth, it can help you build self awareness, and in turn help you to make changes.

I offer talking therapy from a Humanistic perspective and also sandplay therapy.
Regardless of our pasts or where we find ourselves now - we all have the potential to change, develop and have personal growth. It’s my innate belief that we ourselves know what is best for us after all, sometimes finding our inner voice isn’t that simple though, especially if we feel it’s lost or seemingly far beyond reach. It can be hard to open up and speak to someone about what’s going on, but whatever your reason for making this first step and seeking therapy, with me as your Counsellor I can offer you a safe space free of judgement in which we can explore what issues arise for you.

Sometimes in life we can be surrounded by people yet feel so alone. When speaking with friends and family you may feel they are not really listening, not realizing they maybe advising, or even competing with your problems. Stress, depression and low self esteem can often make you feel invisible but these feelings are not permanent. Living with shame, anger, fear or sadness can leave you in a dark fog, struggling to find your way through. With help and support your journey may become clearer. I would like to offer you space to talk without feeling judged, pressured or nagged, to experience feeling supported, valued and important.

Would you like emotional support - but find that talking is not always easy? I offer a warm, safe and collaborative space where you can explore your concerns through talking and/or the use of art materials. As an integrative counsellor I base my approach on a variety of psychological methods, enabling me to offer broad-spectrum, personalised treatments. Sessions are client-led; meaning I am guided by your needs and tend to be a mix of talking and creativity. Don't worry! Art making is optional. Also, you do not need to be 'good' at art - the opposite is often true: the more spontaneous your work of art, the more therapeutic.

Sandplay Counsellors
What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?
Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behaviour. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.
Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?
Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Is sandplay suitable for adults?
This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.
Does sandplay therapy work?
There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviours in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
