Counselling Lincoln

Therapy is a truly amazing form of support that for many can often be life changing. I know from having therapy myself that it can and does change lives. It might not always be easy, but the rewards can be great. Here’s just a few ways counselling with myself could help:

Build self-esteem and self-worth.
Improve relationships.
Help with life transitions.
Come to terms with loss.
Gain a deeper understanding of why you feel the way you do.
Understand why certain behaviours happen and why they might repeat.
To understand and challenge barriers that might be holding you back from fulfilling your potential.
To feel less isolated.
To be able to talk about things you feel you can’t talk to others about.
To process trauma.
To feel less anxious and/ or depressed.

About me

I am a BACP accredited counsellor and have worked in mental health for over 16 years and for the last 11 years I have worked as a counsellor in the NHS and private practice. I offer both short term and long-term therapy, I work with adults over the age of 18 and to help make therapy more accessible I can provide sessions either online or via telephone.

Alongside my work as a therapist and supervisor, I have an active interest in men’s mental health. I advocate change of attitudes to men’s mental health.

Online therapy

Since the pandemic I have offered clients therapy via zoom or telephone. I have seen the real positive impact this can have on client’s lives. There can be a lot of benefits to having online sessions. I work with a number of clients who either live outside the UK or live far from my practice in Lincoln, enabling them to access my support wherever they are. Sessions online also tend to be more flexible, and I am usually able to offer more out of hours appointments this way. If you are unsure about how the process works, please just send me an email and we can discuss things further.

Qualifications and registrations

My approach to therapy is termed ‘Integrative’. My training in this approach allows me to use elements of different theoretical modals to provide you with the therapy that’s suites you and your needs. Key to my way of working is the Person-centred approach. This is one of the most well-known, clinically proven forms of therapy. Working in this modal puts you, the client at the heart of the therapy. The emphasis is looking at you as an individual rather than a depersonalized collection of ‘diagnostic’ ‘symptoms’.

Alongside the Person-centred approach, I also draw from Existential therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These other modals can be helpful in exploring our place in the world, what choices we can make about life, looking at our childhood, what might be unconsciously impacting our lives and looking at some practical ways of helping our mental health.

Qualifications:

PCE- Counselling for Depression Supervisor training- Nottingham University- ongoing
Diploma in Clinical Supervision- The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute (SPTI)- 2022

Supervisor:

Due to the level of my experience, I am also a qualified clinical supervisor, supervising other therapists in their practice. I have a Diploma in Clinical Supervision from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. This rigorous training has given me the skills to help therapists work through all aspects of their clinical work including complex issues such as ethical dilemmas and safeguarding and risk concerns.
