Counselling

About Counselling

Often it can be helpful to talk through difficulties with another person. I have found that a safe and trusting relationship needs to be at the centre of any work.

I work both face to face and online.

Counselling is a very individual experience and it can be difficult to find a way through pain and uncertainty.
Our initial session would be a structured exploration of where you find yourself and what change you are hoping for. I will explore background to help put the present into context. By the end of the first meeting we would aim to decide whether short term work is appropriate for the issues you are facing. If it seems like you would benefit from a more exploratory approach then we can discuss how you might find the right help. If a short term focussed approach seems helpful then we can plan a way forward.
This way of working is most useful for you if you are facing a specific difficulty or challenge and want to explore the best way to approach things. It can also be helpful if you have had experience of in depth therapy in the past and are looking for a space to reflect on how to move forward as life changes.
I offer both face to face and online counselling. It is also possible to mix the two where appropriate.

Neurodiversity
Over recent years there has been a growing understanding of neurodiversity and the many ways individuals can be impacted by ASD and ADHD for example. As with any 'condition', everyone's experience will be different, but it has been observed that for some a more structured and focussed approach to counselling, can be easier to make use of.

Flexible Times
Although counselling normally takes place at the same time and day each week, this can make it difficult for people who work shifts to come for counselling. I therefore aim to offer flexible appointments for people whose personal circumstances make it impossible for them to attend at a regular time.

In addition, with focussed work it is sometimes more appropriate to offer a more flexible way of working in terms of length and frequency of sessions. Again we can discuss the most helpful approach.

People come to talk to me about:

Relationship Difficulties
Depression and Anxiety
Identity
Loss Transition and Change
Stress and Workplace Difficulties
Bereavement
Behaviour change
Reflection on personal development following previous longer term counselling.
