Counselling in C15

I find that many of my clients have difficulty in understanding their issues. My best source of learning has been my own life. Of course, college was needed for the academic side but there is no replacement for life experience. I have come through addiction. I used substances to overcome fears and inhibitions. I lost a wonderful marriage, a high-level job and fabulous home. I lived on the streets. I brought fear, loss and torment to friends and family. I worked my way into this area of work because I survived and am now in a position to help people because I understand what addiction, loss, panic and stress can cause

Alice believes that the strength of the relationship between a therapist and client is essential. It is only when a safe, non-judgemental, empathetic and trusting space is created that clients can feel empowered to explore their own thoughts, feelings and beliefs creating greater self-awareness and a deeper self-acceptance. This healing process leads to the client enhancing their relationships as well as helping them to gain more control over their life. Alice has worked with an array of issues, including bereavement, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, family and relationship issues, sexual abuse, self-harming and childhood trauma.

Do you feel depressed or anxious? Maybe you're stuck in your life situation? You want happiness, peace, direction... Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!!!!!!! You might be one of those people who struggles to control their drinking or carrying unbearable pain. It may also be that you have lost the meaning of life and whatever you do seems to go nowhere. You tried to deal with your issues on your own, but your attempts to gain control were not successful. You probably want to live a more fulfilling and happier life but you don't know how.

As Integrative psychotherapist of almost 20 years experience and a Clinical Supervisor, I draw from a variety of approaches from my ‘‘therapeutic toolbox’’, including Hypnotherapy, Family Constellations, Psychosomatic Bodywork, Pre and Perinatal Psychology, Creative Expressive Arts and Trauma Recovery. The focus of my work is to empower you to gain awareness, new perspectives and see patterns and issues in a fresh light, so you may begin to experience real change and break habits, patterns, trauma and fears so that you can move forward to live a more authentic, peaceful life and move towards fulfilling your innate potential.

I am well aware that life can be a struggle when trying to deal with anxiety, depression, profound sadness, grief, relationship issues, emotional upheavals, stress, long standing hurt or deeply embedded trauma. Sometimes it’s about self exploration. I offer a warm, safe, welcoming and non judgmental space where clients can come and examine how they see themselves in their world; explore unhelpful behavioral patterns and look at how they are in relationship to others and themselves. At all times in the Counselling space, I work from my heart; from a place of compassion and love, with genuine acceptance of the client just as they are

You are not your thoughts...Does you mind race? do you worry all the time? Do you feel anxious? Depressed? Can't sleep? Feel worthless? Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Lack of libido? Do you feel like no one would understand if you talked about what goes through your mind? There is good news...you can talk to someone, and yes I will understand, without judgement, and with compassion. Together we can identify the reasons for these thoughts and feelings and look at them from a new perspective, almost like looking at them from a distance, afterall...you are not your thoughts!

I am an experienced, accredited Psychotherapist in private practice since 2011. My focus is seeing the person as unfolding at different stages along life's journey. Sometimes along the way we can be knocked sideways. Failure ,loss ,abuse, relationship issues or bad choices can leave us experiencing stress, loss ,anxiety and depression . Early intervention is essential and my role as psychotherapist is to listen and enable you to gain insight. Any issue when talked about and explored in a supportive non judgemental therapeutic relationship where you are understood and supported will bring about positive change.

I have been Counselling couples and individuals since 2000 and clients have given feedback that they find my approach warm and friendly. I meet you where you’re at emotionally and help you to find the resources within yourself to move out of whatever “stuckness” you may be feelin.

As an Integrative therapist, I endeavour to adapt my approach to suit my client’s individual needs, preferences and goals for therapy. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding and compassion for the whole person, mind, body and spirit. Clients experience an environment of safety and confidentiality, where they can explore their life experience and challenges that are distressing them with acceptance, non-judgement and respect. I use Mindfulness as a therapeutic tool.

Èist Counselling and Psychotherapy offers an integrative, humanistic and person-centred approach to therapy. I believe every client has the innate capacity to explore and resolve the issues they face in life. I offer a gentle, empathic approach to therapy in which I guide the client towards finding their inner strength and help them to understand their unique inner worlds.

Young people experiencing emotional and behavioural disturbances can find it challenging to communicate or understand why they feel this way. The process of Child Art Psychotherapy can benefit in many ways as it is relational and fosters consistency and containment. The psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach of Art Psychotherapy incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication to gain insight into the child's thoughts and beliefs systems. The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.

Are you suffering from a distressing life experience? Perhaps you’re feeling alone? Depressed? Anxious? Does your life seem chaotic? Feeling like this is not unusual. Our bodies and minds send us messages to help us navigate life’s challenges and heal from these painful and stressful experiences. Learning to listen to these messages and learning how to use them is at the heart of our wellbeing.
