About me and my therapy practice
At times we all experience challenges in life, whether they be isolated situations or ongoing difficulties. These can feel overwhelming and may lead to increased stress levels and constant worry, and can interfere with our sleeping, eating and our general mood. They can lead to difficult feelings such as sadness, depression, anxiety, anger, stress, isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Relationships may become difficult.
I am an experienced therapist working with adults. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to be listened to and understood, where your thoughts and feelings can be expressed and will be respected. Having the opportunity to talk, to feel seen and heard, can enable you to gain a better understanding of yourself. The aim is to improve your ability to cope with present and future difficulties and support your personal development and growth.
At the core of counselling is the relationship between you and your counsellor, an important relationship in which you feel comfortable and can talk freely and share your thoughts and experiences at the pace you wish. I will listen in a warm and thoughtful way, without judgement, and together, we will work to help you understand and process the difficulties you are facing.
Practice description
My approach is psychodynamic. This means that together we will explore your feelings, fears and challenges by understanding that they can have roots in past experiences. Sometimes, making links with things that have happened before can help us to understand how they have shaped our current feelings and behaviours and to recognise any unhelpful or repeating patterns.
I offer open ended therapy, where the number of sessions isn't fixed but determined by your needs. I also offer short-term therapy if there are one or two specific issues that you would like to work on. Sessions are for a period of 50 minutes on a weekly basis, always on the same day at the same time.
I have a private practice, working from my therapy room close to the centre of St Albans, and from therapy spaces in both Luton and Wheathampstead. All have nearby free parking and are accessible by public transport. I can also offer therapy online or via telephone.
As a registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, I work in accordance with the their Standards of Good Practice and Code of Ethics.
My first session
This will be an initial consultation. The aim is to provide you with an opportunity to meet me and have a feel for the style of counselling I offer, so that you can make an informed decision about whether to continue. It would also provide me with an opportunity to gather some information about you and consider your main concerns. This will ensure that I am able to meet your specific needs.
Please contact me if you would like to arrange an initial consultation, and we can arrange a mutually convenient day and time to meet.
