Csilla Varga

Welcome, my name is Csilla, I am a qualified integrative counsellor working with a variety of approaches.  I am passionate about counselling and whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, you struggle with addiction, abuse or just feel that it is difficult to cope with or understand your feelings, I am here to listen and help you to work through whatever feels troubling for you.  I work with everyone as a unique individual with unique experiences and I use my knowledge and experience to be a guide for you helping you to find your unique way of healing. 

The ways counselling can help

I understand that sometimes it is that first step to reach out when you need help can be difficult, but it can make all the difference in your journey. Counselling and psychotherapy can be that place where you can share your feelings and thoughts with confidence in the presence of a trained professional. In therapy every feeling, thought or sensation you might feel is welcome. 

The first session

Please email me or call me to arrange a first session where you can tell me all about what brings you to counselling and also talk about how we might work together. 

Where I work

I work in my private counselling room in a quiet and calm neighbourhood.

The ways I work

I work in an integrative way, mainly using person centred approach, internal family systems approach and somatic approaches.

Person Centred approach works by the transformative power of learning to access our own feelings. When I work with you I will always understand that you are the expert at what it means to be you, therefore my role is not to give advise or give you homework, but rather guide you empathically, so that you can connect with yourself.

Similarly internal family systems works with different parts of us that can be in conflict with each other, they can be disconnected, or dominate our daily lives. We may experience like we are out of control, acting in ways we know may not be helpful, yet we can't seem to make changes. If we explore our inner system, we can learn to relate to for example our 'angry' parts, or 'sad' parts from a compassionate place and we can work with them. The focus is on an internal exploration.

Somatic therapy works with sensations in the body that are sometimes coupled with certain narratives we develop. Trying to feel into those sensations, becoming more aware of them is at the heart of this approach. Tense muscles, feelings of exhaustion for example can all help us guide where we might hold past hurts in our bodies and by listening to the body help finding our way of healing.
