Counselling for Adult Individuals
For individuals aged 18+
Life can bring many pressures, from relationships, work and family to the demands of everyday life or how we feel about ourselves. At times, they can feel like a lot to manage and begin to affect your wellbeing.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, finding it hard to cope, or would simply like someone to talk things through with, I’m here to help. I aim to offer an understanding, supportive space where you can speak openly, without needing to filter your thoughts or worry about how they might affect others.
What might sessions together look like?
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. As an integrative therapist, I draw on various evidence-based therapeutic approaches and adapt our work to your needs, goals and what feels most helpful.
​
Some sessions may be more conversational, giving you space to talk things through and make sense of what’s happening. At other times, we may focus more on your body or parts of yourself. For example, noticing physical sensations or internal dialogues and responses, and exploring what they may reveal about your experience. Where appropriate, we may also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) to process past experiences that continue to affect you.
​
We decide on the approaches we take together and always go at a pace that feels manageable to you.
What can you expect from therapy?
​​
Therapy is a personal journey, and everyone’s experience is different. There’s no right or wrong way to do therapy. You might arrive with something specific you’d like to explore, or you may not be sure where to begin. We can start with what’s happening for you and work out together what would feel helpful.
​
Gradually, therapy can support you to:
-
understand how your experiences shape the way you feel and respond
-
recognise recurring patterns and explore what may be behind them
-
process and integrate past trauma or other difficult experiences, so they have less of a negative impact on your life today
-
feel more grounded and connected to yourself
-
find new ways of responding to situations that have felt overwhelming
-
make choices that reflect what matters most to you.
