Counselling
I am an experienced and fully trained Counsellor. My training is in Systemic, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused and CBT Therapeutic approaches and interventions. For further details of training click here.
When these approaches are integrated, the therapy is very exploratory and allows the 'system' you live in, and its internal and external factors to be carefully examined. This enables you to see where problems are being maintained, how behaviours have been learnt and the effect that has on your life. My aim is to help you discover beliefs that may be unconcious and work towards change by bringing those into conciousness. This all enables the therapy to focus on change, and I will work in a collaboration with you to work
towards that change.
I am very experienced as a Couple Counsellor and am used to working with couples dealing with a wide variety of issues. This also includes affairs and 'cyber' relationships and their effects (for example Facebook and texts)
Psychosexual Therapy (Sex Therapy/PST)
Using CBT based principles and task based therapy, I can help you work through sexual and intimacy issues in your relationship. This type of therapy has a very high success rate. The issues I can help you to address are:-
- Difficulty getting and keeping erections
- Vaginismus (involuntary tightening of vagina)
- Premature and delayed ejaculation
- Lack of desire / arousal
- Boredom with sex / different libidos / negative attitudes
- Problems with orgasm, never experienced one? Male & female.
- Menopausal sex issues
- Restarting sex after children
- Pain during sex
- Sexual aversion (avoidance)
- Disability/illness and sex
- Childhood sexual abuse
Young Peoples Counselling
I am a qualified Young Peoples Counsellor and have worked within primary and senior schools for 3 years. I have children of my own and understand the importance of making sure children are happy. Sometimes, as parents we feel unable to fully access the tools to help our children which can be very upsetting. I work with the young person to explore their difficulties and explore the relationships around them. I will also at times include the parents in this work if the young person wishes this. I hold a current Enhanced CRB certificate.
