Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ashbourne - Adolescents and Adults
People come to therapy for various reasons, such as having difficulties coping with anxiety, depression, insomnia, gender issues, bereavement, phobias, OCD, relationship issues, life transitions, stress management, finding meaning in life, career guidance, finding balance in life, help in enhancing overall wellbeing, etc.
In my clinical work, I integrate various approaches such as Person-Centered, CBT, Gestalt, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness. I believe that as unique human beings there is a need to receive a treatment that is also unique, that reflects the client’s individual preference, way of being, but that is also evidence-based and that follows best practice in the treatment of the client’s presenting issues. I understand that people are born with the resources and abilities to get what they need from the environment or from other people, and this leads to a satisfied life. Nevertheless, often during early life, soomething interrupts this process and the person becomes stuck in fixed patters and beliefs about themselves and the world which hinders their ability for healthy contact. I believe that one of the tasks of therapy is to help clients to investigate and uncover how such patterns are still active and affecting their lives. Awareness and acceptance are key for healing to occur. I offer counselling and psychotherapy to Adolescents and Adults in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment, working collaboratively with the client to reach whatever treatment goals they seek. As an accredited member I abide by the code of ethics and practice of the IACP. I hold a BA in Psychotherapy and Counselling and my keen interest in working with teenagers and their parents led me to a Master in Science Degree in Adolescent Psychotherapy with DCTC in conjunction with Northampton University, the only MSc course in Adolescent Psychotherapy in the world.
