Solution Focused Work

I provide one-to-one work with individuals and professionals who are seeking to resolve specific issues or problems they have identified. The type of issues include; understanding relationship difficulties, changing destructive and repeated patterns of behaviour, feeling stuck and career decision making, feeling empty and devoid of creativity, addiction related behaviours and building self confidence.

Typically I work short-term with an emphasis on looking at the link between thought and feelings, triggers for emotional distress and practical solutions. The goal is to help facilitate awareness, understand underlying thought or behaviour patterns and make more empowered choices. Sometimes deeper underlying issues and feelings may need attention.

I have been providing this work for several years, I provide a couple of examples of issues which I have worked with successfully within a short-term setting which could be 8 - 16 weeks.

Counselling and Psychotherapy

I am an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist both UKCP and mBACP accredited. I am trained as an integrative psychotherapist, my orientation is psychodynamic and transpersonal. I am drawn to the work of Carl Jung, his insights and teachings.

My work is relationship focused, this means that it is based on the interaction between the counsellor and client, respect and authenticity. I work with what you the client may bring and at times I will offer ideas and interventions based on what is appropriate at the time. I also offer to work with the creativity clients bring. In my experience this can serve to faciliate awareness and growth, through; creative visualisation, working with dreams and art therapy.

I have additional training working with loss, bereavement and depression. I have supported people who are working through;

loss,loneliness and bereavement

issues in relationships either at work or family

feelings of anxiety and depression

low self esteem and confidence

Purpose and identity ‘where do I want my life to take me’
