In-Person Counselling
I provide individual counselling from my comfortable, private office in Aberystwyth, West Wales. In a supportive and caring atmosphere, I offer highly personalized treatment, tailored to your individual needs and unique situations. My office is a safe environment for you to express yourself openly, and where you can relax and be yourself.
Online Counselling
I am pleased to also offer you the flexibility of online counselling through Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom, or FaceTime. This method is sometimes even more convenient than an in-person counselling session, allowing you to receive the benefits of therapy from the comfort of your home.
How the counselling process works
Individual counselling can be the most effective means to helping you overcome the barriers to self-empowerment. It is often just a matter of learning the right tools and working through the self-limiting beliefs that no longer serve you. I look forward to helping you build these skills.
Using primarily a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a Humanistic counselling approach, I base our therapy sessions around the following processes:
- Listening to your concerns with genuine empathy, care, and interest.
- Getting to know your unique (and always interesting) personality and life experiences.
- Gently bringing your awareness to your personal “schemas” (deeply held core beliefs) and if they are holding you back, exploring ways to change them.
- Identifying behaviour patterns that are unhelpful, and making a strategy to try out new ones.
- Using CBT techniques to help you untwist any distorted thinking that leads to depression and anxiety.
- Giving you the space to offload and process old traumas, and guiding you through the process of letting go and moving forward.
- Modelling effective communication skills and relationship building skills.
- Helping you build a greater understanding and appreciation of yourself.
- Helping you build a toolkit of skills to use outside of therapy and after counselling is finished.
