Psychotherapy + Counselling
Some of the things I might support you with are:
​
Reducing anxiety and overwhelm
Moving through difficult life changes or challenges
Improving self esteem
Lifting low mood
Recovering from burn-out, feeling run down and wrung out
Addressing a difficult relationship with food and / or your body
Exploring unmasking and self identity after late-diagnosis autism
Finding it difficult to move on from a traumatic life event or experience
I have a tool kit of many different modalities that includes NLP, CBT, Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, yoga philosophy and somatic psychotherapy. I draw on what best suits your way of communicating and your needs at the time. It's not your role to fit my tools, but rather it's for me to work creatively with them and in accordance with who you are and what you bring to the space.
​​​
​
I meet you where you are at, respect your individuality & aim to be a steady anchor for you throughout your time of therapy with me. We may meet some moments that are challenging to explore but we will only ever go at a pace or depth that you feel supported at.
Critical to this is that you feel safe within the space of the therapy room and within our therapeutic relationship.
​
I work on a session by session basis, and there is no commitment to a set number of sessions. I do suggest however that we work together for at least 6 sessions in order to give us both time to understand the issues that have brought you to counselling and to help us form our collaborative relationship.
​
In order to have some momentum, these are scheduled weekly or fortnightly. We will then decide together during the course of therapy when to reduce or finish sessions.
​
I offer you a warm welcoming non-judgemental space to talk though your thoughts, feelings and experiences in ways that make sense to you.
​
​
My role is not to just listen, but to truly hear you, and to facilitate new understanding and perspective of the challenges and issues that you experiencing.
From here we can together create new solutions or paths forward to you feeling more positive and resourced within yourself.
FEES:
Pre-session zoom call (30 mins): No charge​

Sessions are generally weekly or fortnightly to begin and may move to monthly or ad-hoc after a period of working together.
