I offer psychological therapy at a clinic within the Tudor Medical Group - Stratford upon Avon.   Using an eclectic approach I draw on various psychological models—this means that I tailor my services specifically to meet peoples needs.  I am also trained in Human Givens Psychotherapy techniques, this is a scientificly proven approach offering quick strategies that can be taught, so you can continue to benefit throughout all areas of your life after therapy has ended.  With this training I have gained certificates in working with disturbed children and adolescents and also fast, effective relief from depression and anxiety disorders, such as: trauma, PTSD, panic attacks and phobias.

Your confidentiality is of course important to me and is assured at all times.

Or if you just want a chat to see if therapy is for you, which method would best suit your needs and how I could help you, please give me a call.  If I feel that you may need alternative help I can advice you of that too.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other

Deep Relaxation and Guided Imagery Sessions

I provide 45 minute sessions for inducing deep relaxation, incorporating visualisation and guided imagery, for maximum results.  This treatment tool is excellent for lowering arousal thus reducing stress and enabling rational thinking.  It is most beneficial for times of discomfort, pain, distress or where anxiety and/or depression are experienced.  These sessions teach the techniques required to discover deep relaxation at home.  Please call me direct to book these 07967 129137.

Fees

My fees are dependant on the method of therapy and the nature and complexity of the presenting problem.  Fees for one on one sessions with myself are £85 for 50 minutes, this includes a comprehensive assessment and a tailored, clinically proven treatment plan, where appropiate.  If you would like to discuss fees please contact me direct on 07967 129137 or follow this link - Contact Us. 

Further Information

The success of your therapy depends largely upon your relationship with your therapist and your ability to be honest with yourself and your therapist. I will endeavour to understand the way you feel from your world and your frame of reference (how you are experiencing your problems). I will create an atmosphere of freedom where you can take the direction of the therapy wherever you need it to go. 

My professional training is on going and I am currently also training in Human Givens Psychotherapy (please follow this link to find out more about this), this is scientifically based approach with proven fast results for a variety of disorders. With this training I have also received a certificate for helping 'disturbed' children (for many reasons)both in schools and at home.
