Psychotherapist & Counsellor in Shrewsbury
I offer in-person psychotherapy and counselling for individuals. I work with people seeking help for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and other issues, including trauma. I am a senior-accredited therapist with over 20 years experience.
In this introductory meeting we can explore your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. It's a useful starting point that can help you feel clearer about whether or not to proceed, and whether you think we could work together. Some people find that a few sessions of therapy can help them address a specific issue, while others choose to work on a longer-term basis to help focus on deeper problems.
I work as a Person-Centred or Client-Centred therapist and clinical supervisor.
Person-Centred Therapy is based on a therapeutic relationship from which you can learn to draw from, and trust, new understandings that can change emotional and behavioural patterns recognised as unhelpful or problematic.
Accredited at senior level, I supervise other psychotherapists, counsellors and clinical therapists working in the Telford, Wrekin and Shropshire areas. I have worked as a therapist in universities, mental health agencies, and in the private sector.
People come to me for help with a wide range of problems. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be addressed in psychotherapy:
Depression

Stress
Relationship difficulties
Bi-polar disorder

Low self-esteem
Trauma & PTSD

ADHD
