Talking therapy is a widely used and highly effective form of counselling which can boost resilience, stabilise emotions and help you to discover, or re-establish a sense of identity. This relaxed client-led approach promotes the belief that we have an innate human instinct to grow and self-actualise, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Talking therapy enables clients to explore inner thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or bias, whilst gaining insight and perspective from a competent ally. Where appropriate I may challenge some of the things you say, to encourage a deeper reflection and understanding of self. Talking therapy is appropriate for supporting the recovery of a broad range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and OCD. In addition, talking therapy can help you to realise coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing with a wide range of stressful or highly emotive life events, such as bereavement, divorce, redundancy and family conflict.
