Personal Psychotherapy and Counselling
What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?
Individual psychotherapy and counselling, often referred to as talking therapies, offer a valuable opportunity to delve into your emotions, contemplate your choices, and examine patterns of behaviour with the aim of facilitating positive changes in your life. Engaging in one-on-one sessions provides a safe and confidential space where you can openly discuss personal, familial, or relational concerns with an unbiased and skilled therapist.
Counselling might focus on current situations including bereavement, stress management, a divorce or a relationship break up for example.
Psychotherapy might explore deeper emotional, psychological and relationship issues in addition to issues of low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.
Specific advice or opinions are not given but a counsellor and psychotherapist is trained to listen with empathy and can help you explore any negative thoughts and feelings you may have.
What You Can Expect
You may find it easier to talk about your personal, family or relationship issues with an independent and professional counselling or psychotherapy professional.
You can expect a series of weekly, confidential, and professional face-to-face sessions, each lasting 50 minutes, held in a private, comfortable setting that ensures confidentiality.
Alternatively, you have the option to engage in remote therapy sessions. Talking with a counsellor or psychotherapist offers space to help identify the choices for change and to make sense of individual circumstances.
For You To Consider
During sessions, you will have the opportunity to discuss various aspects of your life, including significant events, emotions, relationships, thought patterns, and behavioral tendencies. As a trained counsellor and psychotherapist, I am equipped to attentively listen, provide encouragement, and empathise with your feelings. Together, we will work towards enhancing your self-understanding and discovering your own solutions, enabling you to embrace change and approach your circumstances with greater compassion.
The duration of therapy can vary depending on your specific needs. Short-term counseling may be suitable for addressing immediate concerns, while longer-term psychotherapy can provide more comprehensive support and exploration.
To determine the most suitable approach, we can discuss your options with an initial free telephone consultation or by email exchange. This allows us to collaboratively determine the best course of action for your therapeutic journey.
Can Talking Therapy Help?
I believe it can.
While guarantees cannot be made in any form of counselling or psychotherapy, I firmly believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can assist you in effectively managing day-to-day challenges and anxieties, as well as addressing underlying issues.
It is important to understand that talking therapy is not about receiving advice; rather, your active participation is key to its effectiveness. In my practice, I adopt a relational approach, emphasising the significance of the therapeutic relationship we establish. This relationship serves as a vital component of the process, aiding in the restoration of trust and providing a platform to address interpersonal challenges that may arise in your personal life.
To gain a deeper understanding of how talking therapy can benefit you, I recommend starting with a free of charge phone consultation. During this call, we can explore the specific issues you are facing and discuss the changes you aspire to make. It serves as an opportunity to determine if my therapeutic approach aligns with your needs and goals.
