Counsellor & Psychotherapist in Shrewsbury
Getting the right
therapeutic help
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to solve our problems in our heads, it doesn't work. We become immersed in thinking, endlessly trying to work things out. Thoughts swirl around our minds, unaware they’re making us feel frustrated or worse.
I help people understand the underlying causes of their difficulties or problems. Seeing your situation — and yourself — in a new light can show you a way forward. This clarity may enable you to deal with problems and relationships in better, more helpful ways.
I offer in-person psychotherapy and counselling for individuals. My practice is based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. I'm a senior-accredited therapist with 22 years experience.experience.
An initial, exploratory meeting
In this introductory meeting we would discuss what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of it. It's a useful starting point that can help you feel clearer about whether or not to proceed, and whether you think we could work together. Some people find that a few counselling sessions can help them address a specific issue, while others choose to work on a longer-term basis to help focus on deeper problems.
About My Practice
I work as a Person-Centred or Client-Centred therapist and clinical supervisor.
Person-Centred Therapy is based on a therapeutic relationship from which you can learn to draw from, and trust, new understandings that can change emotional and behavioural patterns recognised as unhelpful or problematic.
Senior Accredited with the NCPS, I supervise other psychotherapists, counsellors and clinical therapists working in the Telford, Wrekin and Shropshire areas. I have worked as a counsellor in universities, mental health agencies, and in the private sector.
