Counselling
I offer a 15-minute free phone call to discuss what you need and whether I may be a suitable therapist for you. I fully understand it may take a while from acknowledging you have a difficulty to asking for some help.
Aims
I have a warm and interactive style offering the opportunity for you to voice, explore and question any of your hopes and fears and come to terms and even resolve any problems which burden you.
The aim is thus to facilitate the process of moving towards a comfortable acceptance of yourself.
Along the way you will learn more effective ways of expressing deep feelings around physical, spiritual and emotional needs.
I have an integrative approach which draws on a variety of therapeutic models, including working with drawing, writing and dreams.
What to expect
You are free to bring any topic to the session. We can explore your problems through not just talking, but also through your writings, art-work and night-time dreams. Between sessions I may suggest an activity for you to reflect on the ideas and issues discussed to facilitate your ongoing process towards growth and change.
Outcomes
You will leave with a better understanding of your own feelings and an awareness of what is really important in your life and what you wish to prioritise. You will feel able to voice your needs more clearly and gain an understanding of the need to accept and to forgive yourself and others for their limitations.
