You are probably reading this because you have an emotional or behavioural problem that is causing you some distress and want to find a way to feel and act more positively. You may have a name for your problem and call it anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, unresolved grief, low mood, stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attachment disorder or some other term. Whatever you call it, or even if you don't know how to describe it, in my experience the majority of emotional and behavioural problems are rooted in past events or childhood experiences, which cause us to set up safety-seeking and survival coping mechanisms that can cause us problems in later life. Often, we are not even consciously aware of why we act like we do.
Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a way for us help gain better insight into our coping mechanisms and, so, provide us with more choices about how we move forward and live our lives. It can also help us develop alternative emotional and psychological tools which may be less destructive for us.
My approach is always to let you choose how far and in what direction you want the therapy to go. Control is always with you and my role is to help you decide what you want from therapy and to then help guide you to that goal.
I offer therapy session by video or if you can get to Evesham in Worcestershire in England, UK, in person. Please contact me if you want a free video consultation to decide if you think I can help you.
