Counselling in DA1

The first step to begin counselling can be daunting. I’m here to support clients challenged by anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or lack confidence, self-esteem. I focus on the whole person, listen, observe and notice without judgement, and see my clients for who they really are. I work openly and non-judgmentally cross-culturally, and in so doing enable clients become acquainted with their many facets, see beyond the surface and ‘permit’ them to be who they truly are.

We ALL have difficulties of one kind or another throughout our lives… some things are easier to deal with than others and many of us could do with a trusting, non-judgemental relationship with a caring professional who can enable, guide, and support you through such difficult times. Therapy will give you the opportunity to be heard, to reflect, question, process, analyse, and heal, allowing for change(s) in your inner and outer world. I am a compassionate and empathic Counsellor with a down to earth approach and here to assist you on the journey- whether short or long-term. I embrace the ‘Integrative approach’ to therapy, meaning

My ideal counseling client is someone who is willing to engage in self-reflection and actively participate in the therapeutic process. They may be dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or personal growth challenges. Their needs include a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts and feelings, validation of their experiences, and guidance in developing coping strategies and solutions. Their goals may involve improving emotional well-being, enhancing self-awareness, building healthier relationships, and achieving personal growth.

I provide a warm, caring and safe presence for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without judgement.

Together, we can explore your struggles, at your pace, whilst recognising that you are the expert of your of you own life.

Most of us will struggle with something at one point in our lives or another, some times this can be an illness or lack of support, others can be triggered by a life changing event, a relationship breakdown, a loss of career, or maybe a bereavement or a past trauma, all of which can lead to us feeling overwhelmed and leave us struggling with day to day tasks. Sometimes we just need a sounding board, someone to listen to help us process and untangle the thoughts and feelings we are experiencing. I myself know how hard this admission and acknowledgment can be and seeking help is not always easy.

There are moments we all encounter, where life feels like a struggle. We may find things in our life difficult to cope with at times and in need some additional assistance. Some turn to family or friends. While others need support from another, who is outside of their day-to-day life. A neutral party, who will listen to you, in a safe, free of judgement and confidential setting. That is what I aim to do for you. There are numerous events in our life which cause upset, hurt and pain. With great sensitivity and understanding, I can aid you in the processing of these events.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking therapy based on saying whatever is going through your mind. It can help you with issues related to trauma, relationships, grief, depression, anxiety, or major life changes. It helps you become aware of hidden meanings or patterns in what you do or say that may contribute to your problems. Many people come into therapy because they feel they are trapped by their past & want to talk it through with someone & work through things on a deeper level. I aim to provide a safe, personal space where you can talk about yourself & what troubles you, to try to understand the connections & patterns.

Don't despair, help is at hand" I have been an integrative therapist for over ten years and lecture at Inter- Psyche, Kent and Medway NHS Trust. I work with children and adults, in couples or individually. I utilise an array of counselling approaches as I believe not one method is superior to another and that we are all unique individuals.I have helped my clients understand themselves better, be it overcoming depression, loss, anxiety or improving their personal relationships. What to expect: Counselling is about building a trusting relationship. To help you feel safe and secure I provide a boundaried, respectful, confidential and non-discriminative alliance. At the end of our first session I always ask “do you feel you can work with me”, as it is important that you feel comfortable and safe. Due to the busyness of modern day life and people being constantly on the move, I am able to accommodate this by offering skype or telephone sessions. Next step Seeking help is often the hardest part yet I would like to commend you on your courage for taking this first step. Get in touch so we can start this journey together.

It often takes courage to come to counselling. Sometimes one knows that things aren’t quite right, that one might need help in a particular aspect of life. It can be hard to sift through things alone, perhaps being in a muddle, unsure or confused. I offer a welcoming, restful, calm space where clients can feel free to be themselves and explore what’s important to them. I follow an integrative approach, using whatever therapeutic modality is needed, whether humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT or existential. Fundamentally, my relational style is at the core of who I am and how I practice, working in partnership together.
