Specialities

Each of us is the sum of our experiences in life. The secret is discovering how those experiences affect us in our own way and finding the most effective counselling for you. I offer professional counselling in the areas described below.

LGBT+ Counselling

Navigating your sexuality and/or gender identity can sometimes feel like swimming the deepest oceans. It can feel isolating, relationships may change and the need for human connection goes unmet.

I work in a way that is positive and empowering, to build on your inner strength.

Counselling offers the space to explore your processes and discover your sense of strength by navigating through what is your truth, and what is projections from other people.

LGBT+ Counselling may be helpful in managing difficulties with:

Questioning Sexual and/or Romantic Orientation
Questioning Gender Identity
Gender Dysphoria
Body Dysmorphia
Shame/Guilt
Anxiety
Depression
Self-Harm

Short term counselling typically lasts between 6 and 18 weekly sessions and is generally more directive and goal-focused in comparison to long term counselling.

This may be helpful if you are experiencing therapy for the first time and would like to get an idea about how the process works, or have a limited time to engage with therapy.

Short term therapy may be helpful in managing difficulties with:

Anxiety
Stress
Difficulty at work

Long Term Counselling

Long term counselling offers the time and space to build a trusting relationship, work at a pace that feels comfortable and at a depth that explores patterns and emotions that are rooting the difficulties. Long term counselling is quite different to short term counselling as long term counselling is a more explorative process in comparison to short term counselling which is more directive and focused. Long Term Counselling will typically last between 6 months and 18 months.

Long Term Counselling may be helpful if you are experiencing difficulty with:

Depression
Anxiety
Sexuality and/or Gender Identity
Body Dysphoria
Bereavement
Attachment and Relationships
Confidence
Anger
Abuse
Trauma
Affairs and Betrayals
Dissociation
Psychosis
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Family Difficulty
Addiction
Substance Abuse
Social Anxiety
Panic Attacks

We will decide during your assessment session between long term or short term counselling and which would be the more beneficial form of therapy for you. There is always an option to switch from short term to long term counselling during the therapy process.

Long term counselling may also include some activity outside of the counselling sessions, this may include considering thoughts and behaviours in your day-to-day life and the impact that this has on your emotions. This is quite informal and may include writing down, drawing, walking or breathing mindfully as a form of repetition to encourage positive change within the mind.
