Female Counselling in Borehamwood, ENG

If you find yourself stuck in repetitive patterns, and your relationships, (at home or work) are falling into the "same old, same old" self-defeating groove, attachment-based therapy may help make the difference in your life that you are looking for. Together, in the safe, empathic space of an attachment therapy, we look "under the bonnet" of your life, to help you gain more self-awareness and a stronger sense of self. We will make meaning out of your story and help you get unstuck and find ways to start living in a more personally fulfilling way.

It may not be visible but you are suffering inside, and you have taken the first courageous step, seeking a therapist.

You have been judged, not heard and felt worthless or invisible, and you may feel anxious, angry, depressed, detached, frightened, vulnerable, low self worth, unmotivated and unable to trust your own judgement right now. I believe you have an innate ability to be more, and can support you to work through these feelings. Take the next brave step if you are ready and call for a consultation.

I am an integrative and relational psychotherapeutic counsellor. This means that I believe the relationship between my client and myself is the most important, and healing agent for change. Working in an integrative way means that I draw from a range of theories to best suit my clients. Therapy is not one size fits all, we are all unique and I work with this in mind. I offer a safe space, warmth and non judgement for clients to explore their concerns, while working collaboratively with them. I work holistically with clients and recognise the importance of including mind, body and spirit.

Taking that first step, seeking help with difficult feelings, thoughts or experiences takes courage and strength. Offering a non judgemental, compassionate and supportive space I commit to ensuring you have control of the pace and subject matter you bring, and to work with you to find new perspectives, build trust in your own judgement and a stronger sense of self. With experience in hospital, private residential units, charitable organisations and private clients, with adolescents, young adults and adults or varying genders, I work with long and short term clients.

Most of us feel like we need extra support at one point or another in our lives. We might be feeling adrift or unable to navigate life’s obstacles or we might feel incapable of verbalising what is getting in the way of leading a joyful life. We may sense that we need to make a change but we don’t know where to start. Talking to friends or family might feel uncomfortable or even impossible, which can leave us feeling lonely and unsure if we will ever feel happy again. My role is to provide you with a safe space where, together, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings and enable you to make positive and lasting change.
