About me

Hello!

You are here, and that means that you are already stepping into a fertile environment for clarity, psychological healing and change.

I am BACP registered and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. Bringing together my training and research as a Person-centred therapist, experience as a personal development trainer, and studies in Philosophy, my style of therapy is like a one-to-one personal consultancy, exploring your needs, dilemmas, challenges that you may experiencing right now.

If you feel stuck in life, this work is a way to help you explore options for a way forward, with an aim for you to work towards what really matters in your life, and make no mistake I trust you, your inner resources and the therapeutic process to be the major force in your change process. I will work with you to look more closely at the complexity of your thoughts and feelings, aid you to identify meaning and value in your life, consider options and choices. In addition to person-centred counselling, I also have training in and have taught other models of counselling including existential & phenomenological, psychodynamic, gestalt and CBT.

Engaging in any kind of therapy or change work is an opportunity for you to be critically reflective within an atmosphere of warmth, compassion and understanding - a trusting safe space where the focus is on you, your dilemma, your distress, whatever you have sought to explore.

I provide a confidential space for you to:

• explore the issues and difficulties that life, relationships, and some patterns of behaviour create.
• gain greater understanding, clarity and increased self-awareness.
• create an opportunity to make changes in your life with confidence and support.

Clients across the generations, from a struggling student to a stressed-out executive have sought to work with their own change process and explore the nature of who they are and how they wish life to be.  My work is open to anyone over the age of 18years who is struggling with life at the moment.  I can also work with clients via their employer insurance companies: Vitality, Aviva, Aetna and AXA.  I also work with groups and couples.

Here are just some of the issues you may wish to bring:

• relationship difficulties (inc romantic, friendship, family,                                         work-related, present & historical)
• anxiety, panic & stress
• depression
• divorce and separation
• bereavement
• decision making & life choices
• gender and sexuality
• identity
• self-esteem and confidence issues
• trauma
• abuse - present & historical
• health anxieties & illness

Couples Therapy:
Couples therapy can provide invaluable insight into the workings of your relationship, whether familial, friendship, romantic, marriage. How we relate to one another has a profound impact on our wellbeing and function in the world and choosing the option to look at it more deeply is a courageous step. Couples counselling is offered to any couple wishing to take a deep look at their relationship and its workings. Whilst the past necessarily influences the present, my approach with couples is to work in the here and now and explore the intricate dynamic between you such as:

• What habits of relating do you have individually and together?
• What patterns have you fallen into? What matters to you most?
• How do you hear one another? Where are you not hearing?
• What do you want from each other?
• What are you experiencing in your body as you relate to each other?

I look forward to exploring with you whatever seems difficult in your relationship right now.

Meditation & Creative Visualisation:

I also offer various types of meditation and creative visualisation to aid your change process. Visit the website for more details: www.theexperientialtherapist.com
