Integrative Counselling Wickford

Helping people uncover the root causes of their problems and supporting them in finding ways to change their lives for the better. Whether you prefer face-to-face or online counselling, reach out today to explore how therapy sessions can be a transformational experience.

Since 2014 I have been effectively working with adult clients in various settings (e.g. medical practices and charity organisations), accumulating thousands of hours of experience delivering therapy sessions.

My therapeutic approach is known as Integrative, with my core focus using the Person Centred approach, but also incorporating aspects of the Psychodynamic approach, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and fulfil their potential; I am there to support this process by genuinely striving to understand each person’s experiences from a non-judgemental perspective.

I also believe that our past experiences have a lasting impact on our present situations (Psychodynamic) and aim to uncover these patterns through exploration and discussion. It's also important to know that sometimes our thoughts and perceptions of events can affect our feelings and behaviour (CBT), that thinking and talking about stuff from the past can evoke strong feelings in the present; it can be useful (but often difficult) to try to stay with the feelings that emerge (Gestalt).
