My firm belief is that the first meeting is vital to building a good rapport and I pride myself on supporting my clients on their initial phone call, our first meeting and continuing throughout therapy. This allows the person to feel safe, secure and relaxed, whilst exploring their issues from past and/or present. Exploring past or present traumatic events in a clients life is my speciality however some clients may not want to explore past trauma, then the clients choice is ultimately important & respected. Clients are at the heart of every session and have the right to explore where they feel comfortable.

My name is Douglas and I am trained as a Gestalt therapist. My style of therapy is to support your self-awareness by joining you on your journey, I ask you take a lead and I bring my interest in you; what you want, what you do, and how you think and feel. I believe that self-awareness can support better-informed choices and this can lead to needed change in our lives. I use DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) to work with deeper trauma: www.deepbrainreorienting.com. I view human beings as amazing and if we tap into our potential by connecting and collaborating we can unearth our deep potential to flow in life.

We often underestimate how events and traumas can affect our perspectives on life and our relationships. Our past life events and perceived future that can have a devastating effect on us, bringing on anxiety and depression. Counselling can help empower you to make changes and build coping mechanisms.

Hi, I'm Lilian, I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I specialise in working with problematic drug & alcohol use, and sex
addiction
(including porn use). There are many reasons that we use substances or behaviours to change the way we feel and deal with painful emotions. Perhaps you once felt in control and now it feels like substances or behaviours are in control of you. You may be experiencing problems in your relationships, work, health and finances and feel overwhelmed. Understanding your relationship with substances, sex or porn is key to resolving the struggle.

Many people struggle with
addiction
, with such things as alcohol, cocaine, and opiates etc, but not everyone seeks help.
Do you feel worried that your use of substances is starting to get out of control and is causing problems in your life? Or are you worried that you will not be able to cope without them, even though you would like to cut back or stop?. Do you feel locked into thinking styles which are starting to dominate your life such as anxiety or depression and don't know what to do? Imagine if you could regain control of your life and situation so you felt happier, less anxious, and were no longer dependant or worried about you
substance
use, what would that feel like? Recovery is possible but sometimes we just need a bit of help to get there
