Erin Molloy ( MBACP ; CMCOSCA)

I hold a diploma in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and am training towards a certificate in Sand Play Therapy. Both therapies work beautifully in their own right  or can be integrated, where perhaps we may feel 'stuck' in recognising our emotions or experiences .

Through Talking therapy,I  provide a space for you to be emotionally held and heard  - to talk with privacy and confidentiality  - a space where you will be met with unconditional positive regard and without  judgement. Often, we can feel inhibited to talk with loved ones , family members or friends, because they are so involved with us on a personal level and can often , unknowingly, offer opinions or judgements that are unhelpful. Often , we can feel like we are burdening our loved ones with our problems. To talk with somebody impartial, can ease those kind of worries and I  offer a calm space for you to voice and explore your internal world . To acknowledge , recognise and challenge personal difficulties in a safe and empathetic way.

Creative therapy can offer a new dimension to this, in supporting both children and adults alike. Facilitating a new dimension for  you, if you feel particularly 'stuck' or are have difficulty in finding the words to express the feelings that you experience inside. This can provide a gentle and organic way for you to discover and recognise deeper , more unconscious internal processes , that can affect your conscious thoughts,  offering you greater understanding and clarity.

Both of these humanistic ways of working, can enable you to explore your inner self, in their own right or organically combined,  working in a way that is right for you ' in that moment'.

As well as daytime, I can also offer appointments in the evenings and on weekends where required. I appreciate how difficult it can be to make that initial contact and how important it is, that the relationship feels comfortable and safe. I am happy to receive any enquiries by phone, text or email and will do my best to answer any questions that you may have to reassure you. All enquiries will be held confidentially and I will respond within 24 hours.
