Counselling is an opportunity to talk through concerns and difficulties with someone who has undergone professional training to be able to provide a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you can explore any issues in a way that feels right for you.
Below is a list of issues that might be explored in therapy:
Low self-esteem, Depression, Anger, Drugs and/or alcohol problems, Bereavement, Anxiety, Stress, Confusion, Family conflicts, Relationship issues, Loneliness, Bullying, Eating problems, Abuse
Sometimes the problem is less clear and you may feel low, confused, overwhelmed and life can become difficult with a sense of unease. This can lead to not feeling able to cope causing increased worry which maybe unsettling. Our first meeting will be an assessment, which we can use to discuss what you need from counselling. Once we have met and agreed to work together, we’ll arrange to meet regularly over a number of weeks or months.
I adhere to the ethical framework and code of professional conduct by the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I have clinical supervision every month and we will discuss in our initial meeting together. For more details on the ethical framework please follow link: http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework/. I hold individual Professional Indemnity Insurance with Towergate insurance.
