Welcome to my Page. I offer face to face, short and long-term counselling from my office in Ipswich and online facilities to the rest of the UK.
Welcome
Thank you for considering my services to continue your exploration. I endeavour to create a supportive, non judgemental environment, in which you are given time and space to understand and gain insight into what is troubling you.
This process promotes growth and positive change by being collaboratively curious, seeking a clearer view of your difficulties. This will involve asking questions to open up and examine your narrative, leading to greater choice and alleviation of internal struggles and resistance.
Sessions will often include gentle challenging, goal setting and homework that will further aim to empower you in everyday life.
Feel free to get in touch for a free 15 minute phone consultation that will give us a chance to meet and see how we may work together.
Reconnecting Within
In a world designed to distract us, we will aim to reconnect you with your agency. Gaining a deeper understanding of how the past informs the present through the mind body connection, together we will explore the resistance that stops us from obtaining the life we deserve.
Understanding Ourselves
Rooted in empathy, this relational safe holding environment encourages curiosity into how thoughts, feelings and actions can work for and against us.
By making sense of our internal and external worlds; intellectually and emotionally, we aim to increase self awareness to enable better regulation of our nervous systems; that is promoting the ability to manage both pleasant and unpleasant emotions, creating a more integrated self.
The Science of Change
By gaining understanding of our parts; versions of ourselves that may have got stuck in time, we are able to transform from reacting to responding and shorten the time we are affected, resulting in greater clarity and self mastery.
Change can be non linear and challenging, however scientific research into Neuroplasticity and Epigenetics confirms choosing to bet on yourself isn't just wishful thinking, we can physically change our brain and gene expression by improving our mental health.
