"Counselling is always a brave choice. Giving you the time to explore all your options in a safe, non-judgmental, caring space". Andrea Black
I am an integrative counsellor, using person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT etc and I will always tailor the therapy I offer to suit the needs of each individual. The duration of therapy will also reflect this. My aim is to uncomplicate the overwhelming problems that are causing distress and emotional pain. My knowledge and learning are underpinned by wealth of experience, and I have accrued an excess of 6000 clinical supervised hours, working with all age groups. I believe we all deserve a safe place to talk but more importantly to feel heard!!
Life can be overwhelming, challenging, and complicated. This can be the result of historical issues, personal struggles, grief and loss or complex family dynamics such as blended families, conflict, separation, or divorce. Additional stressors such as financial struggles, work stress, school pressures, family illness, caring responsibilities, autism/ADHD, addiction, and substance misuse.
Counselling can offer the ability to reflect, take a breath and allow time to focus, away from the stressful environment. The results can quite often be life changing. Whilst counselling can offer support at the time, it can also offer the skills and strategies to manage anxiety and distress and empower you to utilise those skills going forward when counselling ends.
