Email meAbout me
Hi I am Angela I am an accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with over 12 years experience.
I work with adults of all ages, including young children with the support of parents,as well as couples.
My approach
As an integrative therapist my approach is varied to suit your individual needs I offer a slightly longer session to clarify aims, expectations and previous experiences of counselling. I also offer ten-fiveteen minutes complimentary on the phone to discuss things further prior to booking. I work short term 6-9 sessions or more long term 6 months plus.
I can useTransactional analysis,Cognitive behavioural therapy and Mindfulness within my approach .
How can I help?
I can help with many issues such as
- early childhood trauma
- anxiety
- depression
- self-harm
- eating disorders
- 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.
I also work with couples. My experience and knowledge as a nursery nurse gives me insight into the needs of children-emotionally and developmentally this can be useful when a couple is experiencing difficulties within their relationships.
Initially clients contact me by email or telephone to arrange a time to discuss in confidence about counselling and what they are looking for.I am able to offer an initial first session at a reduced rate (please discuss on phoning).
