It is generally accepted that psychotherapy means basically longer term counselling ie more than a few sessions and can involve work at a deeper level.

Experience

Worked for the local PCT (Primary Care Trust) in Bolton as a counsellor on a sessional basis.

Worked for 2 local counselling organisations in Bolton as a counsellor on a sessional basis.

Worked with many issues, including abuse, confidence, life changes, bereavement and loss, anxiety, sexuality, sexual identity, disability, relationships, low self esteem, depression, relationships, workplace issues.

Methods

An Integrative counsellor ie I have a person centred base and have an interest in other models (CBT, Gestalt etc) where it is appropriate for the client or their issues.

Work at the client’s own pace - whether the issue requires Counselling, Psychotherapy or Hypnotherapy.  The sessions are confidential.

Client base

Anyone – young (over 16), not-so-young, able bodied, people with disabilities, gay, straight, bi and from any religion (or no religion at all).

Hypnotherapy (please see separate page)

Offered as a separate service and my clients may choose to move between one and the other if it is felt that it will be helpful. 

Hypnotherapy can be used for (amongst other things) relaxation, resolving deeper issues, specific issues (eg smoking, weight loss, flying), general anxiety, raising self esteem or confidence building.

Hypnosis can be a useful option in the case of single issue concerns eg flying or phobias.  Hypnosis can also be useful for deep seated issues which are affecting the clients quality of life.
