Some thoughts on counselling
Working with a counsellor or psychotherapist can offer you a weekly calm reflection space to explore how you are and to think together about how things might be different.
Whether you are struggling in relationships, have suffered a loss, or feel overwhelmed with stress and worry therapy can give space and perspective to your concerns. Whether your anxieties are personal or global there is relief in being heard and held in your distress.
What is well-documented is the importance of the relationship between client and therapist. In my therapeutic training this relationship is one of equality and respectfulness, under-pinned by the desire to explore together the richness and complexity of our human experience whilst also taking account of the environmental and social contexts in which we are 'doing therapy'.
Since qualifying as a counsellor in 2016, I have worked with a great many clients bringing with them many different problems. It is impossible to list them all but it might be helpful to mention some. They include;
- Depression and low mood
- Feeling stuck
- Relationships and communication
- Transitions and life changes including parenthood, separation and menopause
- Anxiety and fear
- Grief and loss including climate distress and eco-anxiety
- Work related issues
- Irritability or low mood
- Pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, infertility
My work as a therapist for specific sectors has included peri-natal and post-natal low mood and distress and parenting and family concerns. I continue to expand my experience and knowledge and to seek to deepen my therapeutic practice with regular professional development activities. I am 'climate aware' and a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance. This means I am interested in how the climate emergency is shaping all our lives and its impact on our minds and thoughts about the future. I welcome climate aware conversations and am actively engaged in my own work with this which has included research into the work of psychotherapy in these times.
I work in-person Angel EC1, Islington, and in Blackheath SE3. I can offer short online or in-person interventions at the moment. If you are interested, please contact me via the form on the last page of this website to discuss making an initial appointment. This is by far the best way to contact me as you will usually reach voicemail during the day. We can then arrange a brief call or simply arrange a first appointment. As the absolute security of electronic messages cannot be guaranteed you may wish to save personal details for a conversation.
