We all have things in life that we would like to change, after all ’the grass is always greener…’
Some of these Life’s Struggles could be: Mid-life Crisis; Life- Transition ; Coping With Loss, Low Self-Esteem, Assertiveness, Sadness, Self-Acceptance, Feelings of being Empty, Shyness; Phobias; Relationship problems; Stress, Anxiety, Anger, Feeling Lost.
We are all unique individuals with unlimited potential, inner strength and resilience. When we realise our potential it is possible to transform the negative experiences in our life to more positive, fulfilling and happy ones. By increasing our inner strength, we can grow a strong determination and improve our chance of success. It takes courage and insight to make the changes needed to help manage difficult times.
I can help by providing short or long term counselling, coaching or psychotherapy.
Counselling and Psychotherapy is a confidential, supportive and understanding relationship between you and your therapist. A session allows a space to express feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Together you and your therapist explore ways of making change and enhancing your quality of life.
Individual sessions are generally 50 minutes in length and are typically once a week depending on your individual needs.
Please feel free to call me if you would like more information or to arrange an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you!
SERVICES
Everyone is unique and every persons experience unfolds in a unique way. My underlying philosophy is to provide my clients a confidential, understanding and safe relationship that they can use to further their personal goals and potential. To help clients achieve their goals, I combine the techniques of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching. The combination of these techniques helps people go beyond symptom relief and achieve long lasting change.
The first thing we do is sit down and talk about what is going on in your life and what you would like to change. Then it is usually helpful for me to get a bit of background information. From that point, things usually unfold organically and we begin to look at things from the combined perspectives of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching. The different perspectives are designed to address different levels or stages of the problem.
Psychotherapy primarily addresses your inner world it provides clarity, insight and healing. This exploration of you inner world looks at the origins of the problem and how the problem is effecting you. It provides an opportunity to look at the root or core of the issue.
Counselling primarily looks at creating direction. Building on the insight and clarity you have gained, we begin to work on a plan. Together we explore and create ways of putting your insights into action.
Coaching is about fulfilling and reaching your goals, and putting your plan into action. Insight alone seldom leads to change. It is important to put those insights into tangible actions. In a supportive and encouraging way, we build on your momentum and motivation and integrate the changes you have made into your life as a whole.
Psychotherapy is not an advice giving session. Nobody is more qualified than you to give advice about your life. The aim of counselling and psychotherapy is to help sort out the details of your life and empower you to make choices that are best for you.
I aim to help you to explore and manage whatever is happening in your life. Maybe you have some worries or concerns that you need to think through, or possibly some difficult decisions to make. I can help you through difficult situations and provide you with an opportunity to move towards a more satisfying and resourceful experience of life.
I receive continuous clinical supervision and undertake professional development and training on a regular basis. I believe in a holistic approach that is inclusive of the body and mind and I understand and adhere to confidentiality and abide by ethics guidelines of my professional organisations.
Although I have trained in a variety of models, the one model that we will use would depend on your personal issues. I believe in a holistic approach that is inclusive of the body and mind.
