What are the common issues treated and how?
Everyone has issues throughout their life and all of us will experience at least a few of the very common reasons to have therapy. Nothing is ever a problem in itself, but rather our experience to it and how it affects us.
I have experience of working in the following areas:
• Stress and anxiety
• Feeling stuck
• Depression
• Lack of self-confidence
• Assertiveness issues
• Difficulties with handling anger
• Relationship difficulties
• Couples Counselling
• Bereavement
• Family dynamics
• Father relationships
• Mother relationships
• Issues around adoption
• Sexuality issues
• LGBTQ issues
• Trauma
• Panic attacks
• Work relationship issues
As a therapist I have worked with clients from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds and sexualities.
I have strong experience in working with people experiencing anxiety and depression and helping them to look at how these problems are affecting their present relationships. This can often be seen to be related to early life issues, especially relationships in our parental home, the dynamics we have with our parents and how we might carry this forward into adult life.
I work with both individuals and couples for short or long term therapy as needed.
Short term counselling can be anywhere from 6 weeks and more, longer term work can vary from a few months to a few years.
The term counselling tends to be used for more short term therapeutic work which is more focussed on specific issues. We would work towards setting goals for the counselling and achieving this during the short term work.
Psychotherapy tends to refer to more open-ended, longer-term therapeutic work.
