Cathy | Counsellor

Counselling and Couples Counselling Langport

I know life can throw up some tough stuff along the way. Working with me can bring relief, understanding and change. Our work together is confidential. I work in a skilled and gentle way alongside you to explore and understand the difficulties in your life. I am an integrative psychotherapist fitting the therapy to your unique needs. We are led by what you bring and as a (accredited) member of the BACP I work to their ethical standards.

Anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

I work with anxiety and depression, I find taking time to hear what is happening for you, noticing how this is driving the anxiety and/or low mood will help develop new ways of expressing your needs and feelings, so creating the change that can bring relief and build resilliance. We do this together through a process of gentle exploration, understanding and rebulding.

I am specially trained to work with individuals and relationship issues. Together we untangle what is happening and tease out the feeings that may be driving the actions. We will hear what is troubling you, form an understanding of what is needed and work with this. This will be a place of gentle collaboration. I work with the issues and feelings present and understand the history you bring and how this affects your relationships. This helps us put in place new ways of expressing and meeting your needs in relationships and so bringing about the change needed.

About me

I greatly value the work I do and the relationship we build together. I have worked with both anxiety and depression for many years, I enjoy seeing the relief and benefits the work we do together can bring. I have done various trainings in this area, most recently with Iron Mill on their Complex Trauma Course. I have also done trainings in attachement. As an Integrative therapist I use a blend of therapies, person centered, pyschodynamic, attachment and gestalt to illuminate and guide us through the process.

I worked for many years, (previously) in front line services for mental health and well being. I did my clinical practice at Somerset Counselling Centre where I worked with a wide range of issues.

Please send me a message if you would like to know more or book an appointment.

Depression may be blocked feelings that are hard to reach along with trauma, this can take gentle work to under stand and unnlock. Once we understand this more and have more access to the hidden feelings and trauma we then have more of an understanding. We then have the building blocks in place to commence with the work of working through this and building a new way of being with these feelings and yourself. It can take a while to complete the work and settle the changes in. I tend to work with you for as long as you need me too. This also aids the attachent issues that maybe present. You are incharge of the length of time that we work together.

Anxiety is some thing that I work with in a very similar way. Though of course there are differences due to anxiety's differences. Such as the need to realise what is driving the anxiety and once we have this we have the key to the work. We then work to impliment the changes needed and take time to support these. So this is lead by you and your needs. Again taking time to bed the changes in helps also with attachment issues.
