One to One Counselling

One to one counselling offers you the space to explore your personal situation in a non-judgemental environment.  Sharing with someone who is not a friend or family member, can allow you to gain a new and fresh perspective about our current situation.

 

It is not about giving advice; I will help you to find your answers and a way forward.

I believe we all have the potential to ultimately overcome our difficulties and find new ways of being. 

​

I am a humanistic counsellor and work within a Transactional Analysis framework, integrating approaches such as person centred, counselling or depression and some cognitive-behaviour techniques.  I can help you develop awareness of your whole experience - your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions - in the 'here and now'.

​

When you have this insight you are better able to understand your patterns of relating to others and the world around you. Some patterns may be helpful; some may be preventing you from leading a satisfying life. From this new perspective, you are better able to discover new opportunities and make positive choices and changes, resulting in greater personal fulfilment and growth.

​

My approach is sensitive, warm, creative and accepting. Seeing a counsellor may feel daunting; I offer a safe, open and confidential space where you will be seen, heard and understood.

​

I support people who experience a range of difficulties, including:

​

• anxiety

• low mood

• depression

• relationship issues

• family issues

• loss and bereavement

• work-related stress

• low self-esteem or confidence

• challenging life transitions or changes

• illness or disability

• bullying

• difficulties managing anger

​

Counselling support can be short-term (e.g. 6-12 sessions) or long-term. Together, we can explore your needs and the issues you bring, and decide what is best for you.
