I offer support with topics such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, childhood experiences, work issues, depression, loneliness, loss, bereavement, low self-esteem, difficulty navigating life changes, relationship issues such as conflict, communication and infidelity.
LGBTQ+ safe space.
I feel truly privileged to be entrusted with your thoughts and feelings.
I will endeavour to make you feel welcome, comfortable and safe.
At the first session I will ask a few questions about your current life situation, what is was like growing up and what brings you to therapy. We will discuss what goals you have for our sessions and how we can achieve them.
This is the time for you to share what's going on for you, which can feel a little uncomfortable for those who find it difficult to talk about their feelings, but I promise to be your ally; no judgement, but to support you in finding your way through these difficult times.
Using my knowledge and experience I will help you to gain alternative perspectives and clarity of your issues, exploring any 'blocks' which may be preventing you from moving forward. If it might be helpful to explore any unconscious
patterns of behaviour and any outdated beliefs that may be holding you back.
In couples work I vow to hear both parties and remain impartial, holding the relationship needs at the core.
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a theory which explores our personality.
It shines a light on how our past experiences shape who we are and why we behave in certain ways. It helps us to understand our beliefs about self, others and the world around us.
It is especially useful in helping us to connect with others in more healthy ways. It also helps us to build a better relationship with ourselves, learning to quieten our inner critic, promote self compassion and esteem.
Unlike some other forms of counselling, TA looks for the root cause of our issues rather than just dealing with the symptoms.
I offer face to face sessions from my therapy room in Rochford, Essex.
I hold online sessions via Zoom.
