Counselling Hull
read moreShould you decide to contact me, I would like to gain an initial understanding of your reason for seeking therapy and if it is appropriate we could arrange a time to meet. The initial session is usually for an hour and subsequent meetings are for fifty minutes. At the first meeting you would be welcomed with courteous regard and respect and you will have the space to get a sense of how comfortable you feel with me which in turn gives me the opportunity to get to know you a little. I will take some time to discuss the initial process which will include going over issues relating to confidentiality and any practicalities which you need to know more about.
Couples Counselling Hull

However, there are occasions where there may be difficult periods. Sometimes tensions may emerge and the partnership can become strained.

Historical differences such as cultural, family, social or spiritual may play a part in how these difficulties are dealt with.
Therapy and Counselling Hull
read moreYou may already have clarity and understanding of what you want from therapy. If not we can explore this further in subsequent meetings. Over the course of our meetings we can develop a therapeutic relationship where you can share your concerns and I can appreciate with understanding the impact these have on you. I will be with you in respectful support as you explore and raise issues which are there for you. I can be with you if you experience any anxieties or frightening feelings as you move toward developing more self support.
Counselling Hull
read moreAs your therapist I will offer a safe space in which you will be heard with understanding and support. I draw from many years of experience and training in humanistic psychotherapy to integrate the following therapeutic approaches into my practice. Gestalt Therapy supports you in being aware of how you are living now and explores the ways fixed patterns of behaviour which are often learnt in childhood can influence us. From this understanding you will be supported in a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship to discuss changes.
Anger Management Hull
read moreI see anger as a reaction. If acted out anger can cause harm through acts of aggression which may be physical or verbal. Alternatively if anger is internalised one can experience great suffering. For example if we were abused or experienced other trauma as a child it may have been dangerous or impossible to express our hurt. Subsequently we may bury our feelings of anger. In this case anger is trapped it can feel like a kind of indigestion which can be experienced in our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Counselling Hull
read moreIf you have experienced recent difficulties in your life which have resulted in feelings of anxiety, depression or stress, you may benefit from a relatively brief period of counselling or psychotherapy which for example may be for up to 20 meetings. Brief therapy which is generally more focused on a specific issue provides the opportunity to talk with support about your feelings and maybe explore ways in which a problem situation may be resolved. I have undertaken training in CBT and in models of counselling which I have found to be useful for brief therapy.
