My original counselling training was in Humanistic Counselling with Transactional Analysis. This can be seen as recognising the personal growth potential in all of us, to offer a non-judgmental environment to explore this in and to work with you to see how your past has influenced the decisions you’ve made and how you are in relationship with others.
My later counselling training in Reflective Therapeutic Practice built on my growing client experience. Exploring and building on the importance of the relationship between the client and the therapist.
My recent Integrative Transpersonal psychotherapy training has expanded on this by working creatively with that relationship. Linking intuition and imagination with thinking and feeling in the space created between us. This can provide a more soulful perspective for example to mental health diagnosis, giving voice instead to your experience of life; working not so much with ‘what’s wrong with you?’ more with ‘what’s happened to you?’
I’m an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist based in Whitchurch, Hampshire, less than 10 miles from Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and Winchester.
You can use sessions to offload, for support with an issue in your life currently or to explore more long standing struggles. I have experience of working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, sex, mid-life, loneliness, relationships, loss, separation, bereavement, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
