Counselling Therapy Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
If you have found me and the work I do, you may be experiencing some of the following things:
You are suffering with anxiety, anger, sadness, resentment or have low self esteem
Your relationships with partners, friends or family feel difficult, unfulfilling, triggering or end in the same way
You find the end of any relationship very difficult
You feel that you are never good enough
People pleasing leaves you feeling exhausted
You cannot voice what you want or need
You have an unkind, critical inner voice
You feel the need to be in control, control others
You feel that you cannot be yourself and behave how others expect you to
You find it hard to be close to others, push people away or feel that partners expect too much
We are only as needy as our unmet needs - John Bowlby
Why Counselling Therapy Cheltenham?
We are programmed from birth to form connections with our caregivers, as a a matter of survival. Our earliest relationships form a sort of a template for how we view others and how what we expect from others throughout life. Sometimes our initial attachments leave us feeling unsafe or insecure.
Building a connection with you is my first priority, as a trusting, secure relationship can be key to change and effective counselling. I will work with you in an empathic, non-judgemental way, at your pace.
I can help you make sense of the way you are feeling. I will work with you to look at how things feel for you currently, and at past life experiences and relationships which may still be impacting your life. I can help you to notice and understand patterns and behaviours in your relationships.
Having a better understanding of yourself and recognising your own strengths and resources will enable you to make decisions and choices for yourself based on your needs.
Through exploration with an empathic, Attachment trained Counsellor, it may be possible to have a deeper understanding of who we are, and how and why we relate to others the way we do. Our early life experiences and relationships are key to how we see ourselves and others.
Speak in confidence
As an experienced, empathic Person Centred Counsellor I will offer a safe space where you can share, describe, explore and reflect on the difficulties in your life. Our sessions will be centred on you and I working together to find a way forward. This can look different for each individual.
Share your problems
Person Centred Counselling can offer you the space to find the words for, express and connect with, maybe for the first time freely, your feelings and emotions without shame or criticism. Talking things through with me, may help you make sense of any difficulties in your life, and their meaning for you.
Feel heard
My clients tell me how beneficial it is to be able to talk to someone completely independent, who truly listens to them without judgement. Being able to share our inner world can feel like a release, helping to calm the noise and chaos in our mind. Sharing can help to un-jumble our thoughts and feelings.
Let me listen to you and be here for you.
