What is Counselling / Therapy?

If you are new to counselling, then you may be wondering what it is all about. As your counsellor

my approach is integrative, grounded in Transactional Analysis. This will help us explore patterns in the way you think, feel and behave, while allowing me to tailor therapy to you as an individual. By developing a greater understanding of yourself and be able to recognise patterns, explore new perspective and create meaningful and lasting change.

I work with Young people aged 13+ and adults, and you can come to therapy for many different reasons. These may include

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Low self esteem
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Grief & loss
  • Trauma
  • Stress
  • Abuse
  • Menopause
  • Children moving to independence
  • Bullying
  • Issues relating to sexuality
  • LGBTQ+ experiences
  • Neurodiversity
  • Understanding a diagnosis
  • School distress & difficulties within education
