How Psychotherapy and Counselling can help? Psychotherapy and counselling can help you to manage many of life’s challenges, from traumatic experiences and events to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, managing uncomfortable emotions, thoughts, memories and behaviours. Counselling can also help you to cope with grief/loss. It can provide general support when life becomes too much.  A supportive, non-judgemental warm helpful hand is there to help you through whatever is going on in your life at the moment.  It is a place without judgment but acceptance.  We all need a helping hand at times, especially during the recent stressful and unpredictable times. During the initial session I offer the initial session free of charge to allow us both the opportunity to ensure that we can develop a supportive relationship which aligns with your needs and expectations. During the initial session, I will ensure a comprehensive assessment of your current well-being is taken along with a discussion of what your expectations of therapy are, the boundaries involved, what goals you wish to achieve through therapy and what I can offer you. I offer 1:1 hourly sessions by phone or video conference on Monday to Friday 1pm - 8pm or by request at the weekend. These sessions are offered to adults 18 plus years of age through an online platform or over the phone.  Whatever platform you feel most comfortable with.  I am unable to offer in-person sessions at this time. I have 1:1 client experience in relation to the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, self-esteem issues, Panic, Social Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Grief, Perfectionism, Procrastination, phobias and beyond. Since I am an integrative practitioner, this allows me to use techniques from various counselling modalities. I will tailor treatment to you the individual whether you are looking for a formal structure or an understanding ear (perhaps both).  People are unique and so the treatment plan should be as well. As mentioned above I will work with you to ensure you receive a tailored and unique treatment plan which aligns with your values and goals. Mental health has always been at the forefront of my interests and good mental health has always been but even more so over the last few years of utmost importance.  When we have good mental health life is easier to bear.  I am here to offer you a supportive hand and ear to help you deal with whatever life is throwing at you at the moment and to help you thrive in the future. As mentioned above I am happy to provide a 60-minute free session initially to ensure we are a good fit. Please do not hesitate to get in touch for a friendly chat with no obligation. Many thanks and warm regards Chrissie
