Let’s work together
I believe that the most important element of successful counselling stems from the connection that that therapist and client have. If you are able to feel emotionally safe with me, then we are half way there. I appreciate how nerve wracking it may be, but my role is to help guide you through your feelings, thoughts and emotions. Together, we can process these and look for patterns in your way of thinking, and reframe negative thoughts, if necessary.
How do we do this…..
Adults, Teens & Children
Face to face counselling takes place from my home in the quiet village of Thakeham, West Sussex, just north of Storrington, and south of Horsham. My room is a calming and safe space, and there is plenty of parking directly outside. There is also a lovely coffee shop sixty seconds away for early arrivals, afterwards or for waiting family members.
Online & Telephone Counselling
If you prefer, counselling sessions can take place from your own private space online or even on the phone, I have experience in both. Some people feel more comfortable being behind their own screen, letting their inhibitions down more and feeling safer in the own space. Additionally the 'convenience' factor allows appointments to be scheduled at times that work for you, without the need for travel.
Alternatively, some people feel more relaxed in an environment where there is minimal eye to eye contact, especially if they are not used to talking about their emotions. Exercise can help to reduce stress levels, anxiety and depression and walking side by side whilst having counselling can be very beneficial. There are plenty of quiet, countryside walks from my home that lend themselves perfectly to walking and talking therapy.
