Narrative Counselling in Doncaster
I have worked within different settings using a variety of different counselling models, including, Systemic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
If you are looking for a counsellor that puts you at the centre of the work, allowing you to go at your own pace, I am here for you. Working in an integrative way, I work with people aged 12+ and focus on trying to provide a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where I aim for us to connect in a way for you to be comfortable to be yourself and say the unspoken things. I will get alongside you to explore and notice with curiosity what you share, gently challenging at times, asking questions and highlighting where there might be repetitive behaviours and thought patterns, that may have been harmful or unproductive in the past.

I specialise in using narrative and compassion-focused approaches to help people to develop new ways of understanding and working with their problems.
I am passionate about helping people to understand and unstick difficult patterns in their lives. When traumatic or stressful events happen, we make sense of them as best we can at the time. Sometimes this leaves us with ways of feeling and coping that don’t work as well in our current lives, maybe causing problems in our relationships or with our wellbeing. I help people struggling with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and other problems to find new ways of coping, and to work towards living a more fulfilling and balanced life. If you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I can offer a space to step back and find a new way forward.

As an integrative therapist, I view you as a complete individual, considering your mental, physical, and emotional needs within the context of your relationships and environment. I use techniques from various modalities to tailor an approach that fits your personal, communication, or learning styles. My primary method is Systemic Therapy, which explores broader interactions and aims to change transactional patterns among system members. In addition to talking therapy, I may use resources and creative therapies to address specific difficulties.

As a humanistic-integrative counsellor, I take the view that there is no single approach that can treat every client, in all situations. I therefore offer an approach to counselling that combines different elements of several specific therapies so as to enable me to provide the appropriate interventions for each individual. I believe each person is an 'unique whole' and counselling techniques are best tailored to fit the unique individuals needs and personal circumstances. It is of primary importance to me that I offer you highly confidential service based on you as an individual in your distinctive circumstances.

I work integratively using EMDR, CFT, ACT, CBT and Systemic approaches including Narrative and Feminist Therapy.
I specialise in supporting women, birthing people and partners after perinatal care and birth trauma and those who are pregnant after infertility, baby loss, or perinatal trauma. Perinatal care trauma is trauma related to experiences of care and support in the perinatal period (from fertility to early parenthood). This could be a distinct lack of support in relation to fertility struggles or hyperemesis gravidarum, fear-inducing, coercive or abusive care in pregnancy and birth, the drop-off in postnatal care after a difficult birth experience, poor care and advice in relation to feeding or other postpartum health issues.

Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds — perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
