Individual Therapy
By far the most popular choice of therapy on offer. It is quite simply an opportunity for you to understand you better!
Through the years I have sat in both chairs, as a client and a therapist, so I know how difficult it can be to take that first step, meet a stranger and start to share your innermost thoughts and feelings . My aim is to make this situation as easy as possible for you, not as difficult as it can be imagined! I have learnt when people feel relaxed and calm they can think clearly and so understand their thoughts and feelings.
There are many ways of naming the emotional distress a person feels.
Stressed, Anxious, Afraid, Panic, Fed up, no motivation, no hope, difficulty within a relationship, with ‘the spouse’, ‘the partner’, ‘the kids’, ‘the ex’ or any other important person in your life. Feelings of grief, guilt, loss, poor confidence and self esteem. Even poor mental health, having a breakdown, leading to uncertainty about oneself and even about life itself !
I have experience of helping people with all the above and many more descriptions too.
Therapeutic success is found in discovering the emotional uniqueness that is you !
For me to work therapeutically with someone, I imagine each person’s emotional uniqueness is like discovering their fingerprint. As human beings we all respond to our emotional experiences in patterns we create within our personal experiences as we journey through life. It is the discovery of ‘our patterns’, that is essence of the person we are and which provides the path to emotional growth and ultimately personal goals and emotional peace.
In my experience people often come to counselling when they feel they have lost their sense of themselves and the confidence of knowing who they are, when their ‘patterns’ are not making sense or are very painful.
