Counselling in W1H

Life’s many challenges can cause us to feel lost, stuck and unable to cope. A sudden loss, debilitating illness or traumatic experience can turn our lives upside down. Parenting issues, financial pressures and mental illness can jeopardize our families’ wellbeing. Relationship problems can cause anger, depression and loneliness. And work-related issues can lead to decreased satisfaction, burnout and poor performance. Whether short-term or deeply entrenched, our problems can rob us of our peace of mind, self-esteem and ability to create rewarding lives.

Hypnotherapy and CBT therapy have been found to be the most powerful and effective treatments to make the changes you want. You may wish to control anxiety, stop a harmful behaviour, increase confidence or create a healthier lifestyle. Whatever your goal, I can help you or your child achieve it. Over the last 14 years I have helped clients improve their lives, think and feel better and achieve success. Therapy is practical and goal oriented. I also treat young people.

Hello, I'm Andrew and I'm an integrative psychotherapist. What do I mean by integrative? Well, it has been reliably shown that there is no overall 'best therapy'. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another, even if their issues are similar. You might have heard about psychoanalysis, person-centred counselling, or CBT. These are just a few of a number of therapeutic approaches. Each type of therapy offers different potentials for change. For over forty years now there has been a movement towards integrating these approaches to better meet a person's individual needs.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I use different combinations of therapeutic tools and approaches to suit individual needs. ‘Integrative psychotherapy’ is a more progressive form of therapy than traditional singular forms of psychotherapy, drawing elements from different schools of thought to make it a more flexible and inclusive form of treatment that’s suitable for a wide range of emotional health issues.

"Sometimes you don't realise the weight of something you've been carrying until you feel the weight of its release." Anon. At times, we all need to talk but may struggle to find the right person to turn to. Those closest to us may not always be able to offer what we need. This is where therapy may be helpful. Someone to listen to you without passing judgement or giving advice; someone who believes you know best what you need and who can provide you with a safe, confidential place to explore those needs.

Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.

Life is not easy, and if you are reading this you have probably figured out that you want to talk. Talking and being truly heard will increase your self-awareness and help you to understand what is going on for you. Experiencing trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that will not go away. It can also leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people as yourself. So being able to find a way through the trauma can be the reward you achieve when allow yourself to explore and work with me to find true you.

I provide short-term therapy aimed at dealing with an immediate presenting issue and long-term therapy aimed at facilitating change at a deeper psychological level. I use different psychotherapeutic modalities to create a unique therapeutic approach that focuses and addresses each client’s individual needs.

When we meet I will discuss what sort of therapy will be best for you . I am a therapist who listens with intelligence and compassion, but I am not one who just sits in silence. I am sensitive to how difficult it can be to share personal issues. Sometimes the work will be challenging, but the experience of being heard and understood can be very powerful.
