Transpersonal Counselling in St Albans

I wish you during these extraordinary times of world changes - and any other challenges - the very best for yourself and those close to you. My practice is open for in person & video sessions. I am here for you to talk about your emotional, psychological and spiritual/transpersonal and mindfulness issues. I taught at Universities and present at conferences. With 25+ years of practice I offer you a confidential space to explore your feelings and thoughts e.g. about anxiety, depression, suicide, relationships, death and dying, spiritual journey, meaning in life. I am here for you for any other issue you wish to talk about.

Whether you simply need counselling and want to talk to a professional counsellor in confidence to discuss general worries that may have become constraints in your life or need an in-depth psychotherapeutic approach to explore deep-seated long standing issues; as an experienced integrative counselling psychotherapist in private practice, I can offer you individually tailored sessions to promote understanding and enable change in a warm and non-judgemental environment. Privacy and Confidentiality are assured.

People who sincerely want change and are willing to look within will find a committed cheerleader in me. Identifying unconscious patterns is often uncomfortable work. Learning to have grace and self-compassion in those tight spots ought to be taught in schools. Until then, there's person centred therapy.

Are you upset and overwhelmed by relationships, work situations, family issues? That sense of panic and over thinking where your body feels stressed & the anxiety rockets? Did something happen that you have not shared with anyone, or feel nobody ‘gets it’? Has it felt too big & yet needs sorting and resolving? It’s understandable to feel frustrated, anxious or angry. Dealing with those feelings while maintaining a family, job & ‘a busy life’ can feel like hard work. “There needs to be more to life” & “It needs to be better than this “ are often said. To feel free from the past, to build a confidence in yourself.

Dear friend, Are you fed up with feeling like something in your life isn’t working? Do you want to feel like yourself again? Are your days filled by constant stress, endless pressures and never ending to-do lists? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? Are you running yourself ragged while trying to keep your head above water? And even as you try to fall asleep at night… Do you replay everything you could have done differently? Do you think about all the things you HAVE to do tomorrow? Do you question whether all you’re doing is even enough?
