Psychotherapist and Counsellor - Somerset, Devon and providing sessions online
I am UKCP accredited psychotherapist working in Wellington, Somerset serving the communities in the Taunton Dean and Devon area offering therapy online or in person.
I have been working as a psychotherapist and counsellor for over 16 years in private practice and NHS.
I aim to help clients deal with a wide range of issues, including depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, relationship problems and trauma.
My role as a psychotherapist is to give you the space and time to gain an understanding of a long-term problem that has affected your life in a negative way. Each session is an opportunity to explore and discuss life changes that have happened or that you wish to make. I work on the premise that all individuals are unique and I pull together recognised skills and techniques to meet the wide range of issues that are brought by clients.
My core training is in Integrative Body Psychotherapy, over the years I developed further knowledge and skills having trained in Gestalt Group Facilitation, Jungian psychotherapy and Relational Clinical Supervision and Somatic Trauma therapy with Babette Rothschild.
If you decide to make an appointment you will be invited to an initial consultation to discuss and possibly identify the problems you are facing. This will give us an opportunity to meet before you decide if psychotherapy or short term counselling is right for you.
The frequency of sessions are normally once a week, they will last for 50 minutes.
My practice offers the option of long-term and short-term psychotherapy.
The practice is located in Wellington, on the borders of Devon and Somerset. I am easily reached off junction 26 on the M5.
The clinic can be reached by car and is approximately a 30 minute drive from Taunton and Exeter and 50 minutes from Bristol.
I also offer psychological therapies online to clients throughout the UK.
<fontcolour=blue>Why Psychotherapy?
If you are reading this you could be seeking a psychotherapist or counsellor for a wide range of problems. You could be looking to improve the quality of your relationships with people in your life, you may need support in tackling addiction, grief or an immediate crisis such as a separation or divorce, or you may need support in dealing with stress, anxiety or managing trauma. In some cases it is not one particular problem that brings you to visit a psychotherapist; you could simply be looking for ways to get out of a rut or wish to develop your potential.
<fontcolour=blue>What is Body Psychotherapy and what happens in a session?
My core training in Body Psychotherapy is a branch of Psychotherapy that works on the premise that there is no separation between the body and mind in relation to managing stress. In simple terms the body and mind is interconnected. Body Psychotherapy sessions involve talking and working with the relationship between the client and therapist, this brings awareness of emerging patterns and projections that can help explore relationships and challenges outside the therapy room. Accessing the language of the body through breathwork or movement helps the client uncover unconscious material, for example images or memories that arise alongside muscle tension, sensations, feelings or emotions. The client is supported to process emotions rather than feel stuck in their thoughts..
