What to Expect
Perhaps you have experienced a traumatic event in your life and are looking for a safe place to process this and try to understand what has happened with a skilled and empathic listener. Perhaps you have found yourself stuck, depressed or anxious or find yourself at one of life's crossroads and would benefit from exploring this within a compassionate and confidential professional relationship.
I work from my peaceful practice room on Watledge Road in Nailsworth and offer a safe and non-judgemental space in which to explore both your current issues and also your past history. Our early experiences and relationships can impact the way we view the world and our current relationships with others. Sometimes, it can be helpful to look deeper beneath our surface issues and explore potential patterns of relating and repetitive cycles of behaviour that are having a negative impact on our sense of self.
I offer one to one counselling either face to face in Nailsworth nr Stroud or online and offer both long term and shorter term therapy.
I offer an initial free 20 minute online consultation to determine whether or not we'd be a good fit together and then counselling sessions are held at the same time every week throughout term time only.
My integrative approach allows me to draw on a broad range of therapeutic models in order to work in a way that best suits your needs. With this exploration, we can bring our subconscious and often repetitive patterns of behaviour into the conscious. Armed with this knowledge, our ways of responding to the world around us can change leading to a greater sense of self, allowing us to feel calmer, more grounded and empowered to reach our full potential.
