Counselling & Psychotherapy

Duration varies • £40 for Individuals, £60 for Couples

Counselling & Psychotherapy provides you with a safe, confidential space to work through whatever issues you need to. You may be feeling stuck with your life and the therapeutic space allows you to explore this in more detail with the aim of getting an understanding of your situation. You may wish to work on a current or past trauma that you have experienced that is still causing you difficulties. You may want the space to work through a loss, bereavement, or life changing situation.

Critical Incident Responding

45 minutes and over • £40 per hour

I have extensive experience working with trauma. I am also trained to respond to the immediate aftermath of a critical incident eg a bereavement, a riot, an accident or any other event which has the potential to impact on the people involved or witnesses to the event.
The sooner people receive therapeutic inervention after these devastating events can hugely reduce the chance that they will suffer with long term traumatic responses.

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Duration varies • £40 for Individuals, £60 for Couples

I can provide Counselling to businesses for their employees. The workplace pay for the sessions. These can be limited or for as long as the employee needs them depending on what the business is looking for. The sessions are still confidential between myself and my client. I do not divulge the content of the sessions to the employer.

Time Limited Counselling

Duration varies • £40 for Individuals and £60 for Couples

With Time Limited Counselling, you are still provided with the safe, confidential space to work through what you need to but you may only be able to attend for a limited number of sessions. With this type of Therapy we will discuss your needs at the start and will work together to in the best way possible within the time limits. It may be that you can only commit to 6 sessions. With this style we may be more focused on specific issues but will do our best together to resolve as much as we can during our limited time together.

Life Coaching

Duration varies • £40

Counselling is not just helpful to deal with anxieties, traumas, losses, relationship breakdowns etc. It can also help if you are just feeling stuck in life. You may not know what is keeping you stuck but know something is not right. Counselling can provide you with the space to explore and understand what is going on for you at a pace that suits you allowing the opportunity for personal growth and improved self awareness which in turn empowers you to take control and move forward in the direction that feels right for you.
