Profile
Often the problem is that we don't know what the problem is. We feel stuck, repeating past mistakes and following the same old patterns. A lot of the time we know what the problem is, and what it's about but we're unable to feel any different. Sometimes we can’t identify the emotions we have, or we know that we're feeling constantly angry, guilty, anxious or fearful, but we just can't move on.
In my 7 years of private practice I have worked with people experiencing all these emotions, and the type of counselling I offer is called Emotional Therapy which addresses feelings rather than simply going through a process of intellectual analysis. It is a very gentle type of counselling that advocates listening with the heart not just the head and can often be very effective when we know what the problem is but we just feel stuck, unable to move forward.
In sessions there will be lots of time to talk but sometimes even talking is too difficult, and then I may suggest using appropriate exercises or Emotional Therapy techniques to help the process along.
It's important that you feel comfortable with the counsellor of your choice. It's also important for any counsellor to evaluate whether they have the right skills for their client. For this reason I offer an initial 30 minute session free of charge.
In the meantime, if you would like further information about anything then do get in touch.
