Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy
I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with over twelve years experience. I work one to one with adults and with couples.
Why do people consider counselling?
People consider having counselling for a variety of reasons; it could be due to depression, bereavement, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem or any number of other issues.
How can counselling help?
For many people counselling is an opportunity (often for the first time) to talk about and explore issues in a safe and non judgemental space. Building a professional relationship with the right counsellor can be very rewarding and lead to greater self awareness.
What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy
I offer a safe and supportive space in which the client will feel enabled to explore and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. This can be Short term solution focused counselling or Long term psychotherapy.Short term solution focused counselling
You may initially consider 'short term solution focused counselling', as this can be for a fixed number of sessions, usually between six and twelve.
In these sessions we may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The purpose of CBT is to initially change the way people think about themselves and in turn, their environment. CBT emphasises the importance of the present and the future, as opposed to the past.
A flexible and creative approach is encouraged by CBT. CBT encourages independence and can help individuals find their own resources, learn to recognise and use their own wisdom and discover personal methods for self help, which should ultimately lead to self trust and capability for self change.
Long term psychotherapy
A psychodynamic approach is generally more appropriate in long term psychotherapy.
A psychodynamic approach looks at the lively and constantly active connections between different aspects of our personality. These connections are formed through past and present relationships with significant others, as we develop and grow. These relationships affect us both consciously and unconsciously and may affect how we relate to people and situations throughout our lives.
Working psychodynamically places much importance on how the past may influence the present, and how, in turn, patterns of behaviour from the past may manifest in all current relationships. It also acknowledges the existence of the unconscious and how powerfully we can be motivated by our unconscious wishes.
In order to decide which type of counselling is right for you I offer an introductory session. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and to discuss what you would like to gain from counselling.
