Face to face counselling is offered in my counselling room in Salisbury. This is a private, calm space in which you can feel safe to explore whatever is making life difficult for you. Working with the counsellor physically present can enable a greater sense of support for some clients. It can also be of particular benefit for those who find it more comfortable to talk in a space that is separate from their normal living space.
Online counselling offers an alternative to face to face counselling. It is particularly useful for those clients who prefer to have therapy in their own home or another private space due to timing, travel or location issues. It is usually done via Zoom which provides a secure method of communication via the use of encrypted software.
Telephone counselling is offered for those clients who have timing or location issues but would prefer not to use video technology. Similar to online counselling, this requires access to a private space so that you will not be disturbed or overheard.
I offer weekly short-term or long-term therapy depending on your needs and wishes. You may choose a short course of therapy to focus on a particular issue. Alternatively, you may need a longer period of support for therapy that requires greater depth.
We will discuss this in our initial consultation call and we will also review it as your therapy progresses to check that our original plan continues to meet your needs. Everyone is different and the amount of time required to effect change will vary from person to person.
Please note that it is important that you attend sessions regularly to maximise their benefit for you.
In 2024 I am training in the following areas in order to expand the therapy options available:
Walk & Talk therapy is a form of outdoor therapy and nature therapy in the field of eco-psychotherapy. In this therapy the counselling session is taken outdoors and the client and the counsellor walk side by side, with the client usually leading the pace of the walk. This form of therapy can be particularly beneficial if you enjoy being outside, do not feel very comfortable sitting directly opposite the person you are talking to, prefer to be moving or find it difficult to be still while processing your emotions.
I am currently qualified to work with adults and also 16-18 year olds. However, in 2024 I am undertaking the Level 5 Certificate in working with Young People which will enable me to offer therapy to those aged 11 years old and above.
