Psychotherapy (Copy)
Counselling enables people to talk in a supportive environment about any worries and concerns they may have.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is typically a weekly meeting of fifty minutes, usually over a medium to long term. With time and commitment, the client and therapist aim to build what may be called a 'therapeutic alliance' that allows the client to feel able to safely explore and eventually understand and come to terms with difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences (both current and past.) Perhaps you are experiencing stress, low-self esteem, trauma, bereavement or depression? If so, psychotherapy could be used to help you gain self-acceptance, and a deeper understanding of what makes you 'tick' and what doesn't.
There is no 'prescription' or quick and easy way to feel better or differently in therapy. Every individuals' life experience is their own and calls for an approach that is equally as unique. What is on offer is a space and time devoted to the client that can be used in whatever way the client wishes, knowing that whatever is said and explored will not be judged, will be held with care and professionalism and remains confidential.

“I offer an open and confidential space where you can explore any issue that you wish to bring. This may be a current difficulty that you are experiencing, something connected to the past, or perhaps challenging feelings you are having that you would like to explore and better understand.
I am an integrative therapist and work in a collaborative way, this means that we will work together whilst I will always respect the fact that the only expert on yourself – is you!
I believe in the importance of recognising all of the elements that make a person – mental, physical and spiritual.
My own life experience has taught me the immeasurable value and importance of having an impartial person to share innermost thoughts and feelings with, in a safe and contained space. The impact my own therapy has had on my life has led me to train myself. Prior to training as a therapist I have worked in various sectors including construction and agriculture. Alongside my private practice I also work as a volunteer at Cotswold Counselling in Cirencester.
As a therapist in training in my third year of a six year MA course at BCPC in Bath, I am able to offer low-cost therapy. My fee is £25 per 50 minute session. I abide by the UKCP ethical framework. I welcome you to get in touch to arrange an initial meeting where we can explore the possibility of working together.”
