Counselling in D14
People can experience difficulties or challenges at any point in their lives, such as anxiety, low mood and trauma. At other times, life events like bereavement, the ending of a relationship or unexpected illness can make people feel upset, distressed and confused. The help and support of a clinical psychologist can help ease these painful feelings and work towards adjustment and an improved sense of well-being. If the source of the difficulties are not obvious at first, a psychological assessment can also be helpful.

When something in your life is not how you'd like it to be, or when you're looking for help and support for something that you're going through; perhaps a life event, a particular concern or maybe problems with relationships, at home, in school or at work. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, fear, sadness or other emotions. Stress can be a part of this. Counselling can help you to better understand what might be going on for you, and to find ways to effectively manage feelings, thoughts or worries. My experience is that clients come to counselling because they want something in their life to be different.

I am an accredited therapist and supervisor. I provide both short term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy on a one to one basis (not couples) in a confidential and safe environment including online. The process empowers you to explore issues and understand thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours which cause suffering and facilitates the safe space to achieve greater awareness, insight, healing and growth. I work using a humanistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in Person-Centred psychotherapy, while drawing on Psychodynamic theory, somatic psychotherapy and CBT where appropriate.

Having been with a lot of people over the years as a psychologist, teacher, or friend, I've learned that fixing a single particular problem usually helps for only a while. Eventually, more obstacles arise, and we're left feeling overwhelmed, stressed, irritable, and depleted. You’ve probably seen this yourself. Happily, much research has shown that the real way to grow lasting joy, satisfaction, and inner peace... is to build up strengths inside our minds, which means rewiring our brains so that we can handle any challenge with confidence and ease

One of best and accurate descriptions comes from Susie Orbach: “People come to therapy when avenues for understanding themselves or moving forward stall. They come because love has gone wrong, because they are frozen in unsatisfactory work or intimate relationships, because they have lost touch with themselves, because they are searching for authenticity, because they don’t know how to let go, because their life is falling in on them, because they have suffered events so bruising they don’t know how to assimilate them…The work of therapy is to open up on the levels of: feelings, words, and ideas "

Do you frequently overthink? Is your mood low or anxious? Are you struggling in relationships or the workplace? Do you find you are leaning on food, drink, drugs or other substances to help you cope? Have you experienced bereavement or relationship loss? Therapy allows an individual to explore their current situation, their relationships, and to process emotions, understand behaviours and which in turn can strengthen an individual's inner sense of direction, self-esteem and self-resilience.

Clients need to learn to communicate and deal with conflict without getting upset or hurt but heard. Usually client couples want to cohabit and coparent without stress and find a way to talk to each other and respect each others different points of view.

I see you. I recognize your unique perspective, your creative energy, and your desire for connection. Many who come to me share that despite their accomplishments, they carry a persistent feeling of not quite belonging. Does this resonate with you? Perhaps you've noticed patterns - difficulty asking for help, or a nagging sense that something about you needs fixing. Many find themselves searching for explanations or labels to make sense of these feelings.The self-criticism that often accompanies this experience can be exhausting - perhaps that's what brought you here today.
Our work together will focus on healing this disconnection.

In my experience Pain is what usually brings people into my room. I believe there are very few of us in life who have been blessed enough not to have experienced pain to some degree, I respect and acknowledge that everyone's pain is unique. Each individual's pain deserves time, care and reflection to help them move towards greater understanding of themselves and those around them. Anxiety, addiction, bereavement, bullying, loss of sense of self, to name but a few all cause pain. My aim is to offer a warm, safe inviting space and tools to help ease the pain manifested to enable fuller, happier lives to be lived, not endured.

I offer a safe heart centred space to help my clients unpack at a gentle pace that suits them. No problem is too small to bring to counselling. Talking things through with a stranger can help find and bring resources and solutions into sight and is therefore "the gift of therapy". I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly to match your requirements. I have a wide range of training and approaches such as choice therapy, Positive thinking, meditation, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and shamanism.

Sometimes in life you need a place to explore the difficulties that arise. Either behaviours, feelings or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. What troubles our minds can have such a negative impact on the quality of our lives. Psychological troubles come in many forms, relational both to oneself and to others, grief and loss, behavioural problems from anxiety or depression and rage or sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what it is, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Carl Rogers. The world we live in is constantly challenging, particularly if we are already feeling stressed or anxious. This stress can lead to lasting feelings of sadness, anxiety or depression. But this does not have to be the case. We all have within us the ability to live a more fulfilled and happier life. A good therapist helps realise this potential by facilitating self-discovery and acceptance and using this for emotional growth.
