Session Information

In our first session, I can usually provide you with an awareness of how counselling maybe able to help you.

It's also sometimes possible to indicate how long I feel we may need to work together - though of course this depends completely on what you want from therapy and may change as the work progresses.

You will never feel rushed or pushed out of your depth; we go at the pace which is right for you.

So that counselling sessions stay on a professional footing and support you the best, counselling has strong boundaries, work together to ensure that you feel heard, understood, cared for, able to open and to be yourself.

Then through the counselling process, you can freely explore, heal and grow.

I offer online sessions via Skype Walk-talk therapy in and around Carterton, Witney, Burford, Faringdon, Oxford, Cotswolds in West Oxfordshire which offer opportunities to experience compassion, acceptance, and healing.

Walk-talk therapy offers therapy and walking in nature instead of being in the therapy room's 4 walls. I run these sessions in local areas at your own pace.

I can offer you a confidential place to explore issues and feelings without any pressure or judgment. Doing so can help reduce confusion and encourage proactive change and to help you move forward in a way that is right for you.

I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed period, to enable you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me ??

Carl Rogers

Taking that first step should never be considered a moment of weakness - instead, it shows the true strength of character.

The first step of the process is taking the first courageous step to seek therapy.

This first step can be empowering and may feel a bit scary at the same time, but the best results are achieved by talking it out, with the assurance of knowing that you will not be judged, but met with empathy and understanding.

Whether you are experiencing indefinable feelings of dissatisfaction or seeing to focus on a specific issue, I can provide a safe and confidential setting in which thoughts and feelings can be discussed – free from judgement and prejudice.

Experiences and problems that we face can create feelings of unhappiness such as stress, anxiety, depression low mood and a loss of control or direction in our lives. It can also be difficult to truly share our thoughts and feelings with our friends and family.

My approach is to treat each person as an individual.

Counselling For Males.

Over the years I have notice that more and more men are becoming brave enough to seek support and Increasing numbers of men are now making use of Therapists and Counsellors to help find ways of making things better for themselves. My client load is now 95% male which shows awareness around males and mental health are finally becoming more acceptable for males seeking support.

One of the reasons men often find therapy difficult is that men are often taught to deal with things themselves and not to admit 'weakness' or emotional upset of any kind. In other words, men are socialised into never asking for help or admitting difficulty, which can be a real problem when things get tough and they need some support to help make things better.

Hence many men feel a bit embarrassed, and they tend to seek support when things are really bad indeed. Even in such circumstances, it is not uncommon for female partners to make the first appointment - which, of course is fine so long as the man agrees.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH MALES

Men experience the same range of difficulties and problems as women although frequently use things like excessive drinking, substance abuse, overworking, eating unhealthily, pornography and other risky/self-harming behaviours to deal with unhappiness of one form or another.

WORKING WITH MEN

Although all men are very different in what way they want and need from therapy, one of the common themes is a desire to feel the therapeutic process has a specific goal/focus which is agreed upon and worked toward in a fairly direct way and I can use various Tools and Techniques to help empower that person and to help them in a new way of thinking and working through the battles they may have in front of them. However, what must be tackled is the acknowledgement of difficult feelings, such as low mood or anxiety, that are causing the problem in the first place. This can be a hard and uncomfortable process, but is one that I am very experienced in managing and supporting in an open honest way.

perspectives and provide a unique therapy that can be

adapted to suit a client's needs.

Walk-talk therapy

Walk talk therapy offers therapy and walking in nature instead of being with the therapy room or online and has many benefits by fostering the mind-body connection is an important part of mental health.

Many of us spend a lot of time in our heads, and feel disconnected from our bodies as a result. Walk and talk therapy help connect what's going on in your brain with moving your body.

Tuning into the mind- body connection can help you recognise and feel your feelings which is a crucial part of emotional regulation.

I run these sessions in local areas at your own pace.

over a decade. The Japanese work for Reiki means universal energy.

Which aims to relax you and can help reduce stress, anxiety and tension and can help with the well being. Improvements like help with meditation

Reiki can help with physical and emotional health benefits, including better sleep, improved mood, and pain relief.

Speak in Confidence

Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy - and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.

A problem shared...

Trouble with a relationship; anxiety or panic attacks; mood swings or depression - many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.

Make better, healthier new choices

Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, healthier choices moving forward.
