Most of us need support at one time or another; counselling can help as it provides a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. It is very beneficial to talk with a trained counsellor who will listen and not judge you. Uncomfortable feelings or emotions are sometimes an invitation for us to look more deeply at ourselves and integrate their message into our everyday lives. The counselling I offer is a confidential service. Counselling is regulated by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (B.A.C.P) - I am a registered member of this organisation and also on the Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register for approved therapists.
I believe that you are the expert on you and that counselling can assist you to find hidden resources which will help you move forward. I work in a respectful, professional and empowering manner. I sensitively work at your own pace and toward what you want from counselling. I am a pro-active therapist and will work with you in a collaborative manner valuing your individuality and equality. I will use techniques from transactional analysis and from my integrative therapy experience to assist you in your needs. Transactional analysis (TA) is a comprehensive map of the human personality and of our interactions both within ourselves and with others. TA provides a simple and easy to grasp language in discussing complex processes.
Eric Berne the founder of TA was part of the radical psychiatry movement of the 1960's. He wanted TA to be accessible by anyone and went against the established and what he considered elitist psychiatry at that time.
Counselling & psychotherapy will give you an opportunity to review your own internal map of the world. This map is generally formed in our childhood where we make key decisions about ourselves, others and life. These early decisions run in the background of our consciousness and affect our day to day lives. We may have learnt in order to be OK around here I have to please others, although this strategy may have been useful in childhood, it may no longer serve us and prevent us from meeting our own needs.
To save you time and money, I will be upfront, honest and direct with you from the beginning of our work together. If there's something troubling you, give me a call or an email for a free discussion.
