Profile
ARE YOU FEELING YOUR LIFE IS TOO DIFFICULT TO COPE WITH? IS THERE NO-ONE FOR YOU TO TALK TO? DO YOU FEEL ISOLATED AND THAT NOBODY UNDERSTANDS? ALL THE HELP YOU NEED IS HERE ...
Life can be very stressful and extremely difficult and sometimes those around you don't listen to you or don't understand you, or the support that you need just isn't available to you.
I can offer you that support, and I will be able to help you work through your thoughts, feelings and emotions and what is currently troubling you.
You may be feeling anxious, depressed, lonely, isolated, stressed, angry, frustrated, vulnerable or overwhelmed. You may be experiencing grief due to loss or bereavement or feel that life is getting too much for you and you just can't cope.
During a session I will offer you the opportunity to talk about your current difficulties. I will be here to solely focus on you and to listen to you. I will work with you to help you to gain more insight into your feelings and emotions and increase your self awareness. By doing this you should grow stronger and you will be able to learn to cope better with your life and any difficulties you are faced with.
I will utilise my skills in Psychodynamic Counselling, Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology. As Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the possible connection between what you have experienced in your past and how these experiences may be influencing what is currently troubling you in the present, I will spend time with you looking back into your past.
I will also use, if necessary, the other skills which I have acquired, including Attachment Theory, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Psychoanalysis.
My counselling services can offer you a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment where you will be able to share your difficulties with me, without judgement, in confidence, and get all the help you need.
I am fully insured.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY FEEL QUITE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT TAKING THE FIRST STEP INTO COUNSELLING, SO PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS OR YOU NEED ANY REASSURANCES.
