Hello. If you’re reading this, the likelihood is you have been struggling for a while or have thought about talking to someone before. My job is to listen to those struggles and support you through whatever change is required to create a more comfortable everyday life going forward. Psychotherapy is a weekly meeting of one-to-one sessions, traditionally 50mins; the overall duration of which being up to the client and can be discussed openly during the sessions. I provide a calm, confidential space in which no topic should be considered off-limits; so that what you speak about remains extremely private. This is unlike chatting with family and friends and unlike giving information to another care worker, such as a doctor. Our conversations remain within the walls of our sessions and the space is entirely yours to use as you like. My aim is to support you in gaining an understanding of yourself and to allow you a space to explore.
I been practicing Psychotherapy for about ten years now; prior and during my training I have been employed as a healthcare worker and I am hugely familiar with illness and injury and how these are managed from an acute setting. I do not limit my practice to specialities: I am interested in whatever you wish to speak about. This may include childhood neglect and trauma, life transitions, psychiatric diagnoses and hospitalisation, anxiety and depression, obsessive patterns in thought and behaviour, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and substance dependency. Such a small list and it does not nearly encompass all that a qualified psychotherapist is open to exploring. I have experience working with clients for whom English is a second language and I work with people from age sixteen and older.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, cannot understand why you are stressed or sad or are unable move on from past events then this work might be a good place to start.
