More information

For anyone coming to counselling who has experienced trauma and feels apprehensive about sessions, I can offer a personalised and structured support plan.
 

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 trauma-informed counselling 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.  

AWARENESS: 

I can support you with noticing how certain thoughts, feelings and actions can trigger reactions in your body. I can help you with understanding automatic and learned responses, and how these can quickly become overwhelming.  

HEALING: 

We can work on repairing old wounds. Together we can find ways to consider and build new ideas around established beliefs that you may feel are holding you back.  

ATTUNEMENT: 

I can support you with blending new thoughts and feelings with beliefs about yourself, in order to help you build self-esteem and confidence. 

SUSTAINABILITY: 

We can work together to plan for the future and help you sustain any changes you want to incorporate into your life. We can also plan how and when to safely end our sessions together.
