What brings you to counselling?
There are many reasons why you might feel that this is the moment for some therapeutic support – often there’s not just one clear-cut reason. It could be that you are experiencing depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, complicated family dynamics or relationship struggles. However, you might also want to explore other areas that are affecting your authentic sense of self: feeling stuck or dissatisfied without knowing why, understanding sexuality and sense of identity, issues around intimacy, questions around transitions, unhealthy patterns you find yourself in. This list is not exhaustive, but may give you a flavour of what we might talk about. What resonates with you?
What to expect from me
I work integratively with three theoretical modalities (Psychodynamic, Person-Centred and Cognitive-Behavioural theories), along with the therapeutic relationship acting as a guide for the direction of our work. Connection and collaboration are the foundation of my way of working in sessions. I hope that you can experience the therapeutic space as somewhere safe to unburden yourself from the thoughts and events that you may feel tangled up in, and that together we can start to unpick these elements. My aim is that you will experience me as a counsellor who is empathic and curious in my approach to understanding you better, supportive (and sometimes challenging) in the process of seeing things with new perspectives, and works creatively with you in order to see you grow!
Next steps…
If you are intrigued by any of the above and would like to explore the idea of working together, I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation for you to ask me any questions. If we agree to work together, our first session will act as an assessment (where we will discuss what brings you to counselling and what your goals may be). There is no fixed number of sessions, meaning our work is open-ended, with reviews built in for us to see how you are finding the work.
At present I am only available for short-term online work due to upcoming changes with my practice. Please get in touch for a consultation or for more information if you feel that this may suit your needs.
