Rosemary Bowden BA(hons)counselling

Profile

I believe it is important for people to have the opportunity to talk and think about about what troubles them in a safe and confiential environment. As an experienced psychotherapist/counsellor I offer to stay alongside you for as long as is necessary with the aim of enabling you to find greater self-understanding that can lead to change; to work with you as you search to discover what is for you a better way of living.
From an early age I felt concern for indiduals in distress, and as an adult this drew me to working for several years as a volunteer for the Brigitte Trust offering emotional and practical help in families. Later the desire to work professionally, in greater depth and with more understanding led me to train as a psychoynamic counsellor and finally to undertaking a psychotherapy training.
The difficulties we have in our lives and in relationships are often unkowingly connected with earlier experiences. Linking up the past with the present within a therapeutic relationship can bring about understanding, greater self acceptance and enable change.
