Psychotherapy and Counselling
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy concentrates on underlying aspects of personality that arise from deep seated issues from childhood and are preventing the person from living life to the full. Issues may include:
- chronic low self esteem
- repeating patterns of negative behaviour
- an inability to make or stay in relationships
- addictions
- eating disorders
I offer a safe reflective space in which you can understand the roots of problematic habits, feelings and relationships. I am committed to fostering an atmosphere in which you feel supported in gaining insight and support your ability to explore a more satisfying way of being in the world.
COUPLES COUNSELLING
I offer short or long term therapy for couples. Reasons for presenting for couples therapy may include: - persistant arguments/tension
- feelings of isolation in the relationship
- infidelity
- sexual difficulties
- coping with separation or divorce
The main focus for couples is usually to focus on assisting you to communicate positively with each other in order to deal with the problems they are facing. I offer an environment in which couples are supported as they explore ways in which you can vocalise the things you feel need to be said and learn to listen to each other in a constructive way. These communication skills are very important for the stengthening of your relationship. Couples are also encouraged to explore other dynamics between them in order to strengthen and mediate conciliation.
