What is therapeutic counselling?
There are some areas of our lives that we feel we would like to improve but we just don't seem to be able to make the necessary changes. No matter how hard we try, we seem to remain stuck in the same groove.
Counselling gives you a chance to explore complex or difficult issues in a safe and confidential environment. You can express and identify your feelings, values and expectations, and gain assistance with communication and problem solving by looking at new options, possibilities and perspectives.
SPECIALISM: Individual therapy with individuals and couples, low self-esteem, abuse, bereavement, childhood issues, relationship issues, stress, depression, sexuality, sexual health, anxiety, work related issues, trauma.
HOW I WORK
I work with clients primarily from a Humanistic approach with the quality of the therapeutic relationship between myself and client being of paramount importance.
For clients who find it difficult to talk about what troubles them, if appropriate, I may introduce and integrate the use of body awareness work, breath, imagery, visualisation, metaphor and a wide range of props/artistic media to enable the client to explore and understand their issues.
