A professionally registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering the following services
Counselling: This is generally a short term and issue focused process. There is particular emphasis on identifying thoughts, feelings, behaviours, assumptions and perceptions. This creates the ground for exploring additional perspectives and new possibilities, as a basis for addressing concerns. More about Counselling
Psychotherapy: The primary focus is on the individual. Through exploring the presenting issues the client also seeks to benefit by increasing their self awareness and personal insight. This creates the possibility of new understanding and self perception enhancing the therapeutic effect. As such it is different from counselling which tends to be ‘issue’ focused. In psychotherapy there is exploration of developmental experience as there is also a focus on personal meaning and unconscious aspects. This can have a deeper more long ranging impact on reducing stress, distress, anxiety etc and presenting symptoms. More about Psychotherapy
Sandplay Therapy: This method offers an image creative way to learn more about internal experience, making it possible to work with deeper levels of experience using a process that does not depend on verbal expression. New aspects of self discovery and understanding can be explored through sensory experiencing. Like dreams, which through their scenes and story can give us insight, the creation of scenes and images in sandplay can be symbolically explored and reflected upon. More about sandplay.
Supervision: This is offered to professional practitioners who wish to avail of a supportive and exploratory space to review and reflect on their work. Supervision focuses on practice issues and challenges, learning edges, maintaining the focus and boundaries of work etc. The process seeks to enhance professional focus, resource best practice and support the practitioner. More about supervision.
