About me and my therapy practice
It is good to talk. It's even better to be truly heard. This listening is fundamental to what I offer.
Sessions take place in a peaceful room in central Winchester. Clients appreciate the feeling of sanctuary in the spacious room, with an outlook to a fine garden. Arriving at this quiet place once a week from the busy streets and our busy lives, can in itself be relaxing and therapeutic. We can also work remotely if you are away or unable to attend in person that week.
I can support you with, for example, anxiety, bereavement, abuse, ADHD, relationships, depression, separation, stress, loss, PTSD, personal development and spirituality, allowing you to gain awareness, clarity, understanding and find your own solutions and a way though whatever difficulties you may be facing. Or you may simply wish to talk things through confidentially with someone who isn’t family or a friend. This in itself can make a huge difference in your life.
Practice description
The basis of the humanistic approach to therapy is that you as the client are understood to be best placed to know how you are feeling and what you are experiencing. As such, counselling is not focused on giving advice or analysing, nor is any judgement made. Instead, a safe, attentive, warm, genuine, respectful and empathetic environment is provided, with our therapeutic alliance or relationship allowing for increased awareness, realisations, insights and positive change in your life. I will support you in reaching your own understanding, making decisions and moving towards true happiness.
I may also offer various techniques to help with relaxation, grounding, centring and general wellbeing. These are related to yoga, breath-work, meditation and mindfulness and can be immensely beneficial.
