Online counselling & psychotherapy (UK) - positive mental health and wellbeing
A TRUSTING & AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIP:
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of successful counselling, and trust can be difficult to develop - particularly when we feel anxious, or low, or when our experiences teach us that trust can be broken.
Right from the start, you can rest assured that I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and member of the British Psychological Society. I adhere to the BACP ethical framework - which means that I have your best interests and safety at the heart of our sessions.
Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment.
MAKING PERSONAL CHANGES:
By noticing our behaviour patterns, we can start getting curious about the thoughts and feelings that are associated with them.
Therapy can help you to process what is happening for you, identify where you may be getting stuck, and help you with breaking old habits to make way for positive changes you want to see in the future.
TIME AND SPACE FOR YOU:
Talking-therapy sessions with Azure Dragonfly
offer you the time and space to
discuss your experiences and process how you feel.
CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALITY:
Sessions can help you:
explore your sense of self and identity;
in developing a positive self-image;
with valuing and appreciating differences;
and with practising self-compassion
HOPE AND REFLECTION:
Life is full of beginnings, endings, loss,
challenge and opportunity.
Whether you find it exciting, scary, or a bit of both,
it can be helpful to explore the impact of change.
Therapy can help you
through the process and support you
in negotiating a path through life's twists and turns.

Available to anyone, I offer a personalised and structured support plan that helps you in knowing what to expect and when to expect it. You will receive information, resources, and regular reviews throughout your therapy.
You are not under any obligation, but a minimum of 16 sessions is recommended for this plan.
If you feel you may benefit from the structured plan, please let me know.

INTRODUCTION:
During our initial full session you will have the opportunity to tell me as much (or as little) as you feel comfortable with about your current situation. You do not have to share your history if you do not want to. I will tell you more about my approach to counselling and therapy, I can answer any questions you have, and we can discuss any concerns.

FOUNDATION:
Regular weekly sessions allow us to get to know each other better. The aim is to build a safe, therapeutic relationship through exploring and discussing anything that is on your mind - including what has brought you to therapy. You do not have to disclose anything that you don't want to.

CBT for depression
In addition to being a qualified counsellor and psychologist, I also have accreditation (level 2) from the Association of Psychological Therapy (APT) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Depression.
CBT for depression is for anyone who experiences depressed mood regularly (as part of a cycle), or chronically (feels low all the time).
FREE CONSULTATION

Your first paid session (Session 1) will be a full assessment. This allows me to find out more about you and the issues that are affecting you, and it gives you the opportunity to explain your experiences in more detail.
You will also be asked to complete a client questionnaire. This helps us to scale and monitor your progress.

the assessment process
Following the assessment, I will put together some suggestions about appropriate interventions, and in Session 2 we can discuss them and start to make a plan together.
The plan can include different aspects of your life - such as behaviours, thoughts, surroundings, relationships, and biological factors - together with any interventions that may be relevant to you and your experiences.

Our final session (Session 8) allows us to review our work together and to assess the progress of your aims as set out in our plan from Session 2.
It also gives us an opportunity to consider the future and how you can best sustain the changes you have made during sessions.
ONE-OFF SESSIONS & CLIENT CHECK-IN:
CHECK-IN SESSIONS: for past clients
Are you a client who has completed sessions with me in the past, either through Azure Dragonfly Counselling or Wiltshire MIND?
You can book a one-off check-in session if you feel you would benefit from a catch-up session, or have a particular issue you want to discuss.
You can either book directly through the website 'Bookings' page, or contact me by email to discuss your requirements.

STUDENT COUNSELLORS
When I was training, finding the right personal counsellor was a game-changer. It contributed hugely to my self-awareness, development, and confidence as a new counsellor.
I can offer a reduced rate of £40 per session for one current counselling student (online only).
Please enquire to see if a place is available.
