About Counselling
There are times in all our lives when we feel we need someone to listen to us. Counselling can provide a safe environment in which you can explore thoughts and feelings that were once deemed too traumatic to deal with.
The therapeutic relationship can be very powerful when resolving past conflicts, and as a result present day challenges can be more clearly understood. The purpose of the therapeutic relationship is not only to relieve suffering, but also enable you to discover a deeper self understanding. This deeper sense of self can help to facilitate a more positive outlook on life.
Counselling can help you:
-
Gain a fresh perspective on current circumstances.
-
Cope with emotional crisis, such as anxiety, stress, depression or bereavement.
-
Address and resolve specific problems, such as relationship issues, inner conflict, obsessive thoughts, inappropriate anger or lack of confidence.
-
Deal with personal development issues, such as developing your true potential, finding new meaning in life or improving your emotional well being.
About Me
I offer confidential and professional counselling for individual adults by telephone, face-to-face or email. My approach is called ‘Integrative’, which means that I may use counselling techniques from different theorists during your treatment. Examples include Psychodynamic and CBT.
I am a warm, caring and empathic person who is passionate about the therapeutic relationship, a cornerstone of the counselling process. I developed a passion for listening early on in life, often being referred to by friends as a “good sounding board”. I studied Psychology at college and then went on to complete a BSc in Psychology, and Diploma’s in Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
For the last five years I have been a Samaritans volunteer. As well as answering phone calls and emails I volunteer in my local prison. My role in the prison is to train selected inmates to be ‘Listeners’. Listeners provide invaluable support to their fellow inmates in time of crisis or emotional difficulty.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners. I also work for NHS Northamptonshire Provider Services as an advisor.
