Psychotherapy and Counselling in Southampton and Eastleigh

Personal development weekend 14/15 July '12 - places left - see Training page

Are you distressed about a particularly difficult situation?
Or perhaps you are just feeling that you would like to develop your personal life...

I work with individuals, couples and groups (for instance, families or work teams) with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. I deal with the whole person, so you bring your self rather than your problems to therapy.

My approach is adaptable and I can deal with seemingly simple issues, such as making the right decision, to complex ones, such as relationship difficulties or recovery from abuse and trauma. Whilst I do not wish to limit the issues you might wish to bring, it is worth stating that I have developed particular expertise with the following life difficulties:

Stress

Relationships

Sexual victimisation and abuse

Bereavement and loss

Cultural issues

Sexual identity

Anxiety and guilt

Depression and low self-esteem

Anger management

My practice is located near The Common in Southampton, and is easily accessible from both Eastleigh and Winchester. As well as therapy, I offer clinical supervision to other counsellors and therapists.

I frequently see clients who are studying for the HE Diploma in Counselling at Eastleigh College. This course has Gestalt therapy as its main theoretical model and students are required to undertake personal therapy in order to qualify. It is important for intending counsellors to have their own therapy, as this equips them to be clear about their own issues before working with members of the public.
