WHY COUNSELLING FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION?
Life can be a complicated journey. There are many obstacles in our way. Sometimes we feel that it throws far too many than we can reasonably handle. At these times we just need to talk to someone who will listen without judgement; who does not 'give advice' but simply listens to us, and holds the space for reflection, growth and development.
It takes courage to make the first steps to seek help and support.
I work with young people over 16 and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, which might be brought on by feelings of disconnect, lack of energy, joie de vivre which themselves might be linked to all kinds of fears and loss including bereavement, family and relationship issues or past histories to name a few.
I use an integrative approach along with Gestalt and Existentialism. These are built around empathy, trust, respect, safety and empowerment. Kindness and compassion are fundamental. My work is client-led which basically recognises that only you know how you feel. Certain counselling styles suit some people more than others, so I draw from a number of models to provide the right support for you.
I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions (2018).
Do feel free to contact me to discuss your concerns at any time. All communication is confidential. I aim to return all email enquiries within 24 hours.
