Based in Crewe and near Nantwich in South Cheshire, I have comfortable, private therapy rooms within a large terraced house available for clients.
There are lots of reasons why people decide to begin counselling. Some of these include a general sense of unhappiness, or important life changes and transitions, for example, redundancy, retirement, bereavement and loss, relationship breakdown or divorce, illness, changes to your sense of identity, a lack of purpose or direction in life, work stress.
Other factors can be trauma or a traumatic event, triggers from childhood experiences, lack of close support or a sense of attachment to other people, feeling depressed or anxious or misunderstood, having low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. Sometimes it is because current ways of coping no longer seem to be working as they once did and you can feel overwhelmed.
Being able to hear your thoughts reflected back to you by a counsellor can sometimes enable you to see your situation in a different way. During the counselling session, it is safe for you to talk about your feelings and worries. I will listen to you and strive to understand your world.
Our relationship would be different to others in your life. I will not tell you what to do, offer advice or make judgements. I work with you to understand why you have come to therapy and what you would like to be different. I will share my responses to you, so that ultimately you have a new and enlarged awareness and changed perspective.
I am there as your therapist to support you healing yourself. I believe that past relationships have an impact on the present and this is something we can explore together and talk about. I am interested in the way our bodies express our emotional state.
Understanding the messages our bodies give us, can lead to a greater awareness and a sense of wholeness. I am also interested in how you make sense or meaning from your experience. Through exploring together your thoughts and feelings, I hope to lead you to the possibility of having greater choice and opportunities in life.
Please do contact me if you would like to talk about what’s on your mind. I offer a free introductory session so that we can decide together whether I am the right counsellor for you. I will also consider lower cost sessions if you are on a low income. You can see my counselling contract by clicking here.
