I am a qualified and experienced Integrative and CBT Counsellor who works with adults from the age of 18, whose passionate to help you feel free of your past experiences which are still impacting you today, alleviating current stresses and situations which are currently causing you anxiety, low mood and sense of stuckness; as well as helping you develop ways to cope with future events in a way where you feel equipped to do so.
I can help you in various ways, whether that’s in a CBT approach which is structured, discovering the how you got to this point whilst challenging the why and how you can move forward feeling equipped to face the future.
Or perhaps the Person Centred approach which is less direct and gives you the opportunity to go further into depth and helping you heal in the process, developing your self-worth and self-wellbeing as we go along.
Alternatively if you want to focus on coping mechanisms that have been developed over time and may need reinforcing or adjusting to help feel like you can cope with life in general, the Solution Focused Therapy model might be right for you.
And finally… if you would like a more holistic way which gives us the freedom to explore, heal, challenge negative thinking and acknowledge the skills that you already have and develop new ones, then Integrative Counselling may be perfect for you.
Whichever you choose, the aim will always be to help you feel lighter within yourself, increase your awareness within you and others, as well feel like you can move on with life without the sense that experiences or struggles which you’ve gone through are no longer holding you back.
I am a qualified CBT and Integrative Counsellor, which means that I use different models of counselling (including CBT, Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness to but name a few).
