Counselling & Psychotherapy

 
Counselling and psychotherapy

For Adults

As with our physical health, we know that our emotional health experiences its ups and downs, and sometimes we truly struggle to cope.

At times like these, it is helpful to have some support from an empathetic, trained, and independent counsellor, who can help to steer you to a better understanding of how you feel and why you feel that way - and then to give you some tools to better manage emotions and situations as they present.

Many circumstances in life can affect us such as:

  • Work stress

  • Bereavement

  • Relationship stress

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Loneliness

We offer a safe environment to listen to you and allow you to explore feelings, fears and anxieties without being judged.

We can offer you tools to help manage how you feel and to help you to move forwards.

Sometimes the situation cannot change but our perspective on it can. Working with a counsellor can give you some skills to engender resilience that can help you to manage more effectively and happily in the future.

Our sessions can be in person or, if you prefer, we can meet via an online video link.

For Children and Adolescents

Child psychotherapy creates a safe and receptive space in which children and young people can air and make sense of sad, angry, painful or confusing emotions and thoughts. It involves talking about events and experiences but may also use play and drawing to help especially younger children express and own feelings that they may be unable to express out loud. 

A child psychotherapist is trained to observe how young people react to the session and the way they relate to the therapist to understand what their behaviour means.

The relationship with the therapist enables the young person to safely explore challenges and experiment with new ways of being to foster healing and engender positive change to relationships at home, at school and with their peer group; it also shapes more healthy behaviour, as the young person becomes less preoccupied by negative feelings and makes better use of life opportunities. 

Parent support sessions can be offered alongside a child or young person’s therapy. 

Psychotherapy can help address a range of issues including:

  • anxiety

  • depression

  • behaviour difficulties

  • bullying

  • hyperactivity

  • low self-esteem

  • self-harm

  • post traumatic symptoms

  • bereavement

  • eating disorders

  • autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

  • learning and physical disabilities
