Welome to the Low Cost Counselling web site. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a holistic counsellor working to an integrative modality. My training has been via a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling. With over nine years experience in the field, my experience spans from working in mental health to the voluntary sector, where I undertake one to one counselling at a Women's Centre in London. My work includes working with young adults also, and working along side women who have endured hardship, willing to work towards achieving insight based resolutions, helping them make breakthroughs and move forward. My membership recongnition is through BACP.
If you have felt difficulty in managing stress, experienced trauma, feeling unable to cope and life is getting you down, psychotherapy and counselling creates the space, within the framework and boundaries of the professional alliance, to address these issues and ask those questions, offering an opportunity to make sense of the past and allow for more enriched responses in your future. By being able to access an awareness of how you see the world, it is truly amazing the outcome of finding alternative ways of understanding your ‘self’ and coping with your circumstances.
More often than not, we breeze through our lives, care free, giving out automatic responses and reactional behaviour to situations. Counselling enables us to gain a deeper insight in to ourselves and gives us a better awareness of the world around us.
My approach is Integratively focused. You are helped in this way to explore your values, beliefs, morals and feelings through therapy with me; although, quintessentially, the approach that I take with each individual client differs from one person to the next, it is one that the client and I have developed together and is a co-creation, which is unique to the therapy you will receive. Dependant of personal circumstance I adopt various methods in my approach when working with a client. These techniques range from cognitive 'focusing' and Gestalt therapy's 'Empty Chair'.
My therapeutic approach suits those who are ready to explore their basic assumptions, curious about life and are willing and open to welcome alternative ways of seeing their situation.
