Eating Disorders Therapy

"Life can only be understood backwards but must be lived forwards"
Søren Kierkegaard

       Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor

providing:

• Individual Therapeutic Counselling
• In Person and Online Sessions
• Adults, Young People and Children 12+

You may have been considering therapy for a long time but have hesitated to start. It is good to see that you are taking this first step in searching for a counsellor. I do understand that the thought of talking to an unknown person in therapy about your personal struggles may seem like a very daunting experience.

The first few sessions will focus on establishing a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect, trust and understanding. This will create a warm and confidential space for you to feel safe and be accepted. The sessions will be your time to talk and to be truly heard. We will work collaboratively at all times and I will support you to fully engage in your therapy.  It is your opportunity get an insight into your beliefs and thoughts, your feelings and behaviours all of which may have maintained your unhelpful ways of coping and kept you stuck.

Days and Times

Please feel free to contact me

Whether this is your first time in counselling or you have tried counselling in the past you may have many questions. Please contact me to check my availability for therapy, to discuss any questions you may have and perhaps to book an initial phone consultation  

An initial phone consultation

I offer a 20-minutes call which is free. This will be to discuss your reasons for seeking support and your goals for therapy. We will gauge whether therapy would be beneficial for you or whether a referral to a more suitable service could be made for you.
