Therapies

  Talking therapies provide you with the opportunity to talk through, process and come to terms with what may be affecting you in your life. Our mental and emotional health is a big part of how we experience life. People often need support with the issues that they are facing and require the opportunity to talk through and process what they may be experiencing. Whether you need help managing problems you have had throughout your life, or support getting through a difficult time, require a safe environment to talk through decision making or a life transition, I can provide you with a professional Counselling & Psychotherapy service to support your ability to navigate your life path. 

Addressing issues can alleviate other problems affected by your mental and emotional health. Problems such as feeling depressed, having problems with relationships, suffering from mood swings or missing out on opportunities. Getting the right help can turn your life around and help you to achieve a better quality, more fulfilling life.

Therapies Offered

As we are all unique, I will adapt my approach according to your specific needs by integrating different aspects of the following therapeutic models:

Person-Centred Counselling: 

Person-centred therapy enables you to develop self-awareness and trust in yourself and reconnect with your own values and sense of self-worth. Through exploration of your feelings, behaviours and beliefs, I can help you to recognise blocks to growth and experience aspects of yourself that were previously denied or distorted. By reconnecting with your inner resources, you will feel more able to affect changes in your life and reach your full potential.

Existential Therapy: 

Existential therapy can help you to gain a clearer understanding of your worldview and what it means to be human. There are various aspects of human existence that are often the source of many difficulties in our lives, such as freedom of choice, responsibility, anxiety, meaninglessness, uncertainty, isolation, and above all death. By addressing these issues, I can help you to live more authentically and purposefully whilst also accepting the limitations and contradictions of being human.

Psychodynamic Therapy:

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on helping to make unconscious processes conscious. This increases your self-awareness and understanding of how early relationships and past experiences influence you in the present. I use the therapeutic relationship to unlock unconscious relationship patterns that you have developed since childhood and work with the transference and countertransference dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): 

CBT can help you to break patterns of negative thinking and behaviour in order to live a healthier and happier life. CBT helps you to identify and address your problems and understand how your thoughts and actions affect the way that you feel.

Throughout therapy I shall offer you support and insight to help you gain a new perspective on your life. My aim is to help you to discover new ways of thinking in order to increase your confidence and enable you to find your own way forward.
