Profile
'Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known into the unknown'. (Unknown Author)
I am a fully qualified and experienced couples counsellor and individual psychodynamic counsellor and have gained a wealth of knowledge on many issues including, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, bullying, complicated grief, mid-life crisis, trauma, depression, anxiety, couple and relationship issues, sexual dysfunction, Identity issues.
Individual Psychodynamic counselling looks at past and childhood issues and links them to current feelings, behaviours, motivations that are no longer useful or hinder you from having a fulfilling life or relationships. This is a dynamic and challenging therapy which can feel difficult at times but can help you to understand any unconscious issues you may have and bring them into awareness for you to deal with more effectively.
Couple counselling deals with issues you may have in your relationship. One or both of you may be feeling discontent within the relationship, and often couples will wait until they are on the brink of separation before they look for some help
Getting together in therapy will give you the chance to explore your relationship and to understand what makes each other tick, and the therapist will help to facilitate the change that is required.
You can expect a safe, confidential environment in which you can both express what you are thiniing and feeling, which sometimes can come as a surprise to the other partner.
If you have any questions about how I may be able to help please call me or email me, I am happy to try and answer your concerns.
