Profile

Calm counselling promotes mental health and mental wellbeing.

As a counsellor I believe that that there should be no stigma attached to mental health issues.

Its often taking the first step can be the hardest. So I do everything I can to put you at ease.

You are treated with respect and care.
Here at calm counselling I care about you the client.
You're given  time and space.
Whatever you are going through.
Whatever you have been through.
Whatever is troubling you.
Calm Counselling seeks to bring about a helping interaction into many of life's situations that we find our selves in.

Calm A safe space. Its your time. Its all about you.

About me
I am a qualified counsellor/therapist holding a CPCAB (counselling and psychotherapy central awarding body) Counselling Diploma Qualification.

Basic Counselling Skills CPCAB (Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body Plus a Certificate in Counselling Studies CPCAB (Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body

My experience of counselling has been gained through working for the NHS During this time I have developed skills arising out of a range of issues Seeing patients on a one to one basis in various GP practices. During this time I have come to realise that everybody is different. No two people think the same. What suits one doesn't suit another and this is why I prefer an integrative approach which allows me to draw from a range of therapeutic styles My Practice
I practice in an integrative way using a range of therapeutic approaches This means that I am not restricted to one particular type of therapy, for example therapy can be broken down into four parts

Person Centred - this tends to work in the "here and now" Ie what is going on in your life right now
Psychodynamic - this generally deals with the past it could be the recent past or child hood events
CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) - Cognitive, as the name suggests is about the mind, so generally looks at a person's thinking processes
SFT (Solution focus therapy) Solution therapy works in the here and now and seeks to find a solution to a particular problems or a situation and looks to make a breakthrough from what may appear unsolvable
These four approaches can be used singularly or they can all be combined in an integrative approach.

Further Information

The Counselling Relationship
Within counselling it is hoped that at some stage a connection is made between you and your counsellor. This doesn't mean that you become the best of friends but it does mean that you can work together in such a way that a trusting relationship and therapeutic alliance develops.

Within this therapeutic alliance, often old buried emotions and hurts can be brought to the surface and dealt with safely. Or sometimes a new clarity can be given to current situations.
