Email meAbout me
Hi I am Angela I am an accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with over 16 years experience.
I work with adults, teenagers and children with the support of parents.
My approach
As an integrative therapist my approach is varied to suit your individual needs. I offer a slightly longer initial session to clarify aims, expectations and previous experiences of counselling. I work short term 6-9 sessions or more long term 6 months plus.
I work Face to Face and use a varied approach to meet different preferences.
My humanistic approach may use Transactional analysis,Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness . I also have a range of creative resources e.g mood cards, posters -an image can speak quite powerfully.
How can I help?
I can help with many issues
- early childhood trauma
- anxiety
- depression
- self-harm
- self hatred and anger
- attachment difficulties
- Stress
My experience counselling in a residential school/ college has given me the opportunity to work with a children and young people in a creative and stimulating way. Children with Aspergers syndrome often have very acute anxiety and I have had success in helping children develop coping skills in this area.
