About counselling

For most of us, there comes a time  in  our lives when we have an emotional or behavioural problem that we can't resolve without professional help. At times like this, talking to a counsellor or psychotherapist who is  impartial, understanding and caring, can help change the way things are going. 


The relationship between you and  your counsellor or psychotherapist is a major factor in the success of therapy. In order to achieve a successful relationship you  need to feel safe and comfortable; you need to  feel  listened to, understood, and not judged; you need to know  that your feelings are genuinely shared, and that all you say is held in the strictest confidence. You also need to feel confident in the ability of your therapist to help you.

The therapy process also relies on you being actively involved, and ready to make the changes necessary to get what you want, or where you want to be - changes that may not be easy, and may even feel a bit scary.  


How I work
I am an ‘integrative’ psychotherapist, which means I believe that a single therapy approach will not help you with all issues that arise for you, and that there are many different therapeutic ways for problems to be explored and worked on. Consequently, I draw techniques and ideas from different ‘schools’ of therapy, depending on the needs of the people I see.

At the heart of my work, however,  is helping  you  see how when you  avoid   the experience and expression  of your emotions, and your physiological anxiety, you create your problems. For some people  these 'defences' against  feeling are easier to see and let go of, while others find they  are deeply ingrained in the way they operate and see themselves, and so can be harder to renounce.
