Life can be challenging at times and it is often difficult to find a space to work through the emotions that experiences bring. Sometimes old wounds can emerge for healing and bring with them conflicts, memories and painful feelings that can have an impact on our daily lives. Counselling can give you the space to work through issues that are potentially difficult to bring to friends and family. Giving yourself the space and time to work through issues can help you reach inside and find a new way forward. The duration of counselling can take from a few short months to longer depending on the circumstances but I am willing to work at your pace. As your Counsellor I offer a safe and confidential environment to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour related to your life experiences. It's when our thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour cause distress, become self-defeating or we struggle to make sense of them or unravel them that Counselling may be beneficial. As an Integrative Counsellor I adapt my approach to suit my client's needs; enabling change in the most valuable way possible. As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor working in Poole & Bournemouth. I use a number of different theoretical approaches: Person-Centred, Gestalt, TA, CBT and I provide both short and long term therapy. Counselling and Psychotherapy are about making an investment in yourself to help you to be a more effective and contented person. Counselling deals with short-term immediate issues of more recent origin, while psychotherapy deals with long-term issues which need in-depth processing. I work using both methods giving you the freedom to allow your issues to unravel at your own pace. Genuine and lasting change can take time to emerge. I believe that each person is unique and, as a counsellor and psychotherapist I seek to enable people to come to a place of permanent, positive change and freedom in their daily lives. I offer an Initial 30 minute Free Consultation.
