Profile

Hello.....and welcome........
  
We are all born with a natural  tendancy to live a life that is rewarding and fulfilling, and filled with lots of positive emotions.  

However, life is " not a bed of roses", and we stumble across obstacles, which cause confusion and pain and can be overwhelming, which prevent us, from  living our lives to our potential.  

Making the first step, to find out about therapy, and to understand what is causing your to feel uncomfortable , is you taking the control back, from whatever, is controlling you, and making you feel the way you do. But counselling is not just about helping people feel better, it is also a place where you can begin to  understand your self and increase your self - awareness, allowing  you to make better choices and decisions in your life.

I am a Humanistic Integrative counsellor, accredited by the BACP, and trained in many different theories, which means I can develop a therapy to fit each persons individaul needs. Counselling with me, offers everyone a warm, non- judgemental, sanctuary, where you can come and talk and to someone not emotionally  involved in your life, who will listen, believe and understand what is causing you concern. We will then work together to help you  resolve your issues, helping you to live a life that is more rewarding.

I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which is proven to be very effective in helping people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating distress, addictions, and much more. CBT is a therapy that promotes change quickly !     

I understand that counselling can be an added expense in life, at a time when we are trying to cope with the current economic climate.  I work with each person to give them skills ,  which will allow you to sustain your way of being after the sessions have ended.

I am a widely experienced counsellor, who works within the Ethical Framework of the BACP. I have an enhanced CRB check and professional liabilty insurance.

If  you would like to know more, or if you are unsure if counselling is the right path,  then I would be happy to talk it through with you.
  
Best wishes,
Carolyn Langdon
