About me
COUNSELLING: As an experienced counsellor, I offer a nurturing environment where you will be listened to, valued and accepted as you work through issues. In the important client-counsellor relationship my aim is that you experience empathy and authenticity during the counselling journey. This creates a safe environment where issues can be worked through without fear of judgement.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I use a range of counselling approaches. This will enable counselling to be suitable to you as an individual, the issues you want to focus on and the goals you want to work towards.
Perhaps sometimes you struggle with negative self-beliefs, such as ‘I’m a failure’, or ‘I’m not good enough’. Counselling can help you understand how your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, choices and behaviour all impact on each other and how this is lived out in your everyday life. Gaining this self-awareness can help overcome controlling negative self-beliefs and open up new choices and new approaches to life issues.
Do you ever say to yourself, ‘Why do I always react like that’, ‘Why do I always feel so bad about myself’, ‘Why do I always say things like that’ or ‘I feel so isolated’. Through counselling you can develop self-awareness by reflecting on and exploring aspects of your development as a person and your relationships. This can give you a greater sense of self-understanding by helping you to uncover buried aspects of yourself which cause you to feel and act the way you do. Once you gain this self-understanding you can then work on developing reactions and responses that are understood and desired.
This therapeutic process seeks to promote a growing sense of self, aiming for you to recognize you own needs and be more assertive in stating and fulfilling them, while acknowledging others needs also.

Client comments:
"Philippa came highly recommended to me and now I can see why! Her friendly and calming manner put me at ease and gave me a space to talk about difficult emotions and experiences. Together, we worked through my goals and Philippa's guidance and reflections enabled me to develop a greater understanding of myself. I have finished feeling happier, more confident and more aware of who I am. I would certainly recommend her!!"
