Open-ended Psychodynamic Counselling
Psychodynamic Counselling can help you work out solutions to the problems you encounter in your life. The modern world can leave us feeling drained and unsupported, with constant demands leading to stress and mental anguish. It can be helpful to find space for ourselves with an empathic and supportive listener who can help you analyse your place in the world and work out new solutions to old patterns of behaviour. You may wish to know why you behave in a certain way or feel certain things and psychodynamic counselling can help you find your way through your thoughts and feelings to identify your true self. You may feel you have unresolved issues from your past that have long troubled you and need a patient therapist to help you find your way forward.
Brief Psychodynamic Counselling
You may have a particular issue you want to work on at the moment or feel that long term counselling is something you do not want or can ill afford. Brief Psychodynamic Counselling helps find a focus for your current difficulties and resolve those issues as they relate to the past and the present.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
CBT is a solution-focused, evidence based treatment for a range of issues and can help you with:
• Depression
• Anxiety

A course of CBT is offered for 12 to 15 sessions, depending on your requirement, and offers the client a range of treatment protocols to deal with current difficulties.
Sessions last 50 minutes, are usually once a week and cost £70. An initial assessment appointment is charged at £45. I have a number of reduced fee slots to those on a low income and counselling students seeking long-term therapy. Please contact me for further information.
What to expect when you contact me?
Firstly we'll have a brief chat on the phone or by email to discuss your concerns and arrange a time and day for your initial assessment. At this assessment, you will have space to talk about what has brought you to therapy and ask any questions about the process. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe. We will then decide together how long you'd like counselling for and agree a weekly or fortnightly appointment that fits with you.
