I offer counselling services for various different issues including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, abuse, panic attacks, OCD, couples counselling, narcissistic abuse etc.
About me and my practice
I have my own Private Practice based in Leigh on Sea in Essex.
I am trained in:
Psychodynamic therapy which is basically listening and focusing on what is going on currently for you but how the past may be impacting that.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which is really good for anxiety and stress and looks at thought processes and how negative or irrational thoughts can affect our emotions and subsequently behaviours. This can be a really quick fix for some issues.
Transactional Analysis (Inner Child Therapy) which is looking at our childhood and how it affects the way we behave as adults. We often form beliefs about ourselves or set ourselves standards that arent helpful to us as adults.
I also have specific training in unhealthy relationships and domestic abuse.
I also Teach the Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling Skills at a Southend college.
