Individual Counselling
Why get therapy?
You may seek counselling or therapy for many and varied reasons at one or many points throughout your life. It's worth mentioning that you don't need to have a diagnosis of a disorder or condition to see a Counsellor, it is enough that there is an adverse impact to your psychological state that you want to improve and in general improve your quality of life.
​
I provide counselling for individuals going through on-going instances or one-off experiences of:
Trauma, complex issues, accident recovery, disability, domestic violence, sexual violence, emotional trauma, coercive control and abuse.
​
Relationship counselling such as relationship breakdown, divorce, separation and other relationship therapy. This includes relationship alienation, estrangement and other issues with parents or siblings.
​
Grief and Loss, this may be loss of a friend, family member or loss of a pet. Grief can be experienced due to changes in health circumstances, loss of a job, falling out with close friend or wanting to support someone who is dealing with grief or loss.
Anxiety, Stress and Depression, these mental health issues can be short or long-term and can accompany situations like post diagnosis for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or work and career pressures. Addiction can also be involved as well as maybe issues with memory gaps and disassociation.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This approach is about looking at the link between your thoughts and actions. I look at key themes in how your brain is interpreting situations and reflecting in your actions then analyse the 'how' and 'why' this is occurring.
Systems-Based
Through systems-based therapy I explore the patterns occurring in your life. I help you become more self-aware of these automatic behaviours and then explore the disparity between your current state of processing or management and your desired state.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy is storey based. Its about exploring your scenario and situation in the context of your story, family story or community story. This is a creative approach where we figure out your metaphor and journey via a creative approach.
