What is Counselling?
Counselling, or Psychotherapy is a process where you go to see a practitioner, usually once a week, to talk about things that are negatively affecting your life. Each session lasts around 50 minutes, during which time the practitioner will help you to focus on your issues, deepen the exploration of these issues, express feelings around these issues, and come to your own awareness of how things might change or be different for you.There are many types of counselling and psychotherapy available, and it can be difficult to understand the differences between them and which one might best suit your needs.
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. This means I have a thorough grounding in many different theoretical models, and refer to major schools of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis including the most up-to-date neurobiological research. I integrate these models, which means I am able to use the approach (or approaches) which works best for you. My aim is to create a solid and trusting relationship with you which will enable you to look at your life in a safe, creative and open way.
