Counselling - how it can help
Experience has taught me that there are many reasons why people come for counselling, sometimes there are specific issues which a person wants to address, sometimes a recent event has had a negative impact on a person’s life and sometimes people come simply to take a closer look at themselves: you don’t need to define a particular issue to make use of counselling.
As a humanistic counsellor I am able to accommodate these diverse issues by providing:
- A safe, confidential and therapeutic setting in which you are able to talk about distressing or stressful experiences or situations.
- Help in dealing with specific behaviour which is affecting your life adversely.
- A counselling context through which you can explore your life more deeply.
- A number of sessions to suit you: some people find that a few sessions are enough to resolve their difficulties, while others find that they benefit from more time in therapy.
I have particular experience in working with the following issues:
- anger
- anxiety
- bereavement
- childhood trauma and abuse
- couples and marriage counselling
- depression
- divorce and separation
- eating disorders

- low self-esteem
- mental imagery & performance/sports performance
- relationship issues
- self harm
- step-families or blended families
- stress
- terminal illness and chronic disease
