Counselling and psychotherapy for when something in life needs to change
I work with people who want to make sense of difficulties in their emotions and relationships, so to understand themselves better and renew their sense of direction.
My approach is informed primarily by Adlerian psychotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, combining psychological depth with practical ways of making change. In my experience people rarely fit neatly into a single theoretical framework, and for this reason I strive to tailor the work to their individual needs and concerns.
"Meaning is only possible in communication."
Alfred Adler
Psychotherapy gives one time and space to think about what is happening in their lives, with a trained professional who can help see things from a different perspective. Exploring one’s experiences, relationships and responses in a safe space can help make greater sense of what is going on, so to carefully consider new responses.
You might be looking for therapy because…
· You are overwhelmed by anxiety and worry
· You feel discouraged, or demotivated in some areas of your life
· You feel stuck in relational patterns that you understand intellectually, but cannot seem to change
· You struggle with low self-esteem, self-criticism, or the sense that you are not enough
· Something from the past continues to affect how you experience yourself and other people
· You are going through a significant loss or a life transition
I am a dedicated and experienced professional in counselling, psychotherapy, CBT and EMDR (BACP Reg, BABCP Accred). You may have a clear idea of what brings you to therapy, or you may have a sense that something is not working in your life. Together we can explore what is happening, develop a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and consider ways of moving forward.
