About Counselling
At the present time I am offering webcam and audio calls for reasons of public health. This is a highly effective way of working which I have provided for many years. This decision will be reviewed at regular intervals.
Working in quiet and secluded rooms either in the centre of Winchester or just off the motorway in Hedge End, we can safely explore any issue you bring. I have also been working via telephone and Instant Message for many years and find this very effective for some. We will agree our focus and work towards your goal together. Counselling is often shorter term (around 6 sessions). Anxiety therapy in particular can be beneficial in facing life's demands and continuing to function as well as finding joy. Understanding how anxiety presents itself and how we can manage the symptoms more effectively can make a huge difference.
About Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is also a talking therapy but may be longer term, focussing on, among other things, your understanding of yourself and why you do what you do, helping to improve relationships and life in the here and now.
Counselling/Psychotherapy should be at your pace and focus on the area of your life which you have chosen. It will provide a safe space for you to explore areas of self and life, to explore patterns of behaviour and make decisions going forward.
