Counselling in TA2

I specialise in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) along side other integrative therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and hypnotherapy. The framework my approach is built on is REBT, yet as each of us are different, I integrate the other therapies to suit each individual. Some clients benefit more from rationalising thoughts and beliefs, while some need help getting over the past, and some need help with moving forward. I work with my clients to address issues, create and reach goals, and make the most of life.

Life can often feel challenging and even overwhelming at times. The therapeutic relationship between therapist and client, once formed is a safe, warm, non judgmental space that will allow the client to explore their worries and make sense of your feelings.

Hi, I'm Katie and I appreciate you stopping by my profile. I bring warmth, positivity and my sense of humour to the therapeutic relationships that I form with clients. It takes courage to decide to enter therapy and together we will find what helps you the most. The areas that I offer the most support with are anxiety, low self esteem and depression. I offer a free initial discussion because it gives you the opportunity to see if you think we are a good fit. Part of the therapeutic process is the relationship that we build and therefore it is important that you feel safe, heard and accepted.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. Life can be stressful, challenging and overwhelming. This can be influenced by issues such as relationship difficulties, general anxieties and worries, feelings of panic, low confidence and self esteem, bereavement, to name but a few. However, you may feel embarrassed, unable or unwilling to share your worries with friends or family. I can provide support, confidentiality and understanding to enable you to start to move forward. You do not need to go through this on your own.

Hi, I'm Jo and thank you for taking the time to stop by my profile. So you've decided to take what feels like a scary yet very important step towards making a difference in your life and are looking for the right help with this - yes? Finding a safe, trustworthy and comfortable place is so important when it comes to therapy and I strive to offer this, either in my therapy room, via video link or over the phone, so that you can get help where ever you are. I'm trained in a variety of Counselling Theories so we can make the therapy fit you, rather than to try to fit you in to a 'therapy box' of one theory fits all.

As well as online video apps, I work face to face with adults, young people (11+) and couples. Sometimes friends or family are unable to support you so an impartial professional can really help. Powerlessness, change, loneliness, grief and anxiety are just a few of the overwhelming feelings many are experiencing. There is no need to be alone in this. Call for a chat to see if, together, we can find a way forward.

My ideal client is one of complexity; I plan on to enrol onto a Doctorate becoming a counselling psychologist. I am a qualified counsellor and my knowledge base started 15 years ago when I fell ill. I have had an eventful life, including heart problems, strokes and many other issues. Through therapies, self help and determination I am happy with my life and I would love to share my knowledge. I have specialised in complex bereavement over the past 6 years seeing clients face to face and supporting them through the hard times. There is a need for more LGBT counsellors that understand and help.
