What is counselling?...

Published: 2024-02-04 13:01:58


...counselling is a valuable talking therapy that enables you to speak about your problems and your feelings in an open, honest way. You will be listened to, not judged in any way, and supported to work through your issue so that you can be free and live your life in a happier, more fulfilled way. 

What happens in the sessions?

You will see me online on a weekly basis and I will listen to you and what you bring with you, and help you to reflect upon your issues, thoughts and feelings as you seek to find your own way to deal with your problems and make your own meaning of them in relation to your life.  I aim to try to understand your feelings, and what it is like being you – being heard in a safe space where you can say what you are thinking and feeling has a very powerful effect on working with problems.

What do I do?

I work from an integrative, pluralistic approach. That means I am trained in a variety of counselling methods and weave them together to create a tailored treatment plan for each individual client. I recognise that one size does not fit all, so taking this approach to providing counselling means that you will receive the right treatment based on your needs. 

I specialise in working with LGBTQIA+ folk but support all people. I work with a broad range of client problems, including mental health issues, and the many personal and relational difficulties that people can all face, such as bereavement, relationship problems, low self-esteem, life changes and crises, gender issues, loss, stress, traumas, abuse, anger and, of course, anxiety and depression. While I am able to help with the variety of issues I am particularly interested in trauma, abuse, working with sex workers, confidence, depression, procrastination and intrusive thoughts. 

What happens next?

Why not get in touch to see if I can help with your issue?  As well as your weekly online appointments, you will also be free to email or text me for support in between sessions. In fact, I encourage keeping in touch as I am here to support you 100%. The return on your investment can be life changing and I will always do my best to ensure you gain the best results.
