Counselling & Analytical Psychotherapy

 ​

Why begin counselling & analytical psychotherapy?

Sometimes there is a clear reason. At other times, there is simply a sense that something is not working as it should.

You may find yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, struggling with anxiety, loss, shame, low mood, or the effects of past experiences.

You may know what you would like to change, yet find that something keeps pulling you back into familiar ways of thinking, feeling or relating.

Counselling and analytical psychotherapy offer time and space to understand what is happening, what may be getting in the way of change, and what might help you move forward.

​

How it works

Change is not always a matter of knowing what to do.

We can understand a problem, want things to be different, and still find ourselves repeating the same patterns.

Analytical psychotherapy helps us look at what may be keeping those patterns in place.

We pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, your past, your relationships, and to what happens between us in the room. Over time, this can help make hidden patterns more visible and easier to understand.

The aim is not simply to cope better.

It is to create change at a deeper level, so that old ways of thinking, feeling and relating have less hold over you.

You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before you begin.

We can start with whatever brings you.

 

About Me

I originally trained as an integrative counsellor in London and Birmingham.

After qualifying, I worked with adults in community counselling services and also taught clinical skills at postgraduate level.

I then moved into private practice, where I now work with adults in Telford and Moseley, Birmingham.

I am currently undertaking further professional training in Jungian Analytical Psychotherapy with the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy (WMIP). As part of this training, I am developing my work analytically, including with patients seen up to three times a week.

This has deepened my work with long-standing patterns, difficult feelings and the parts of ourselves that are not always easy to understand.

​

Getting started

I usually begin with an assessment period so that we can talk about what has brought you here and whether working together feels right.

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, sometimes more often.

If you would like to arrange an initial session, you are welcome to get in touch.
