Further Information
I suggest an introductory session where we can explore together what it is you would like help with. We can then decide how to move forward and what sort of therapy would suit you best. Some people come to work with me on a particular issue for a few sessions, others want to come for more in depth counselling, it varies, depending on your needs.
I offer COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT) which is a short to medium term therapy that focuses attention on the present rather than the past. CBT's core belief is that emotional distress is caused by the way we think, and changing our thoughts reduces worry and emotional anxiety. This way of working will have a definite structure, it will be problem-focused, goal oriented and practical. As your therapist I will educate you through guided discovery to be your own therapist in the future. CBT is proven to be an effective treatment for Anxiety and Depression.
Everything discussed in a counselling session is completely confidential. I would never pass on any information unless I believed that you were in danger of harming yourself or another person, and only then after discussion with you.
