Counselling

What is counselling?

Counselling is a talking therapy, which involves talking to a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is based upon a respectful and supportive relationship within agreed boundaries. Talking therapy aims to

• give you a safe time and place to talk to someone who will not judge you
• help you make sense of things and understand yourself better
• help you resolve complicated feelings, or find ways to live with them
• help you recognize unhelpful patterns in the way you think or act and find ways to change them

I believe we are capable of change and we have the ability to feel empowered rather than to be swept along by feelings which are out of control.

I am an integrative counsellor using person centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapeutic styles. Being an integrative counsellor means I can be flexible in my approach so that I can tailor the therapy to each client’s individual needs. For some clients a blend of hypnotherapy and counselling may be appropriate. Once a client’s problems have been assessed a therapy plan can be formulated.

Peace of Mind Therapies can help with many issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, trauma, family issues to name but a few.

If your specific issue is not mentioned then please contact Peace of Mind Therapies and I will talk through your problem with you to see if we can work together.
