Alison Taylor
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
People often seek psychotherapy because they are feeling overwhelmed or are experiencing some kind of emotional pain. Issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self esteem or anger are often the symptoms of past traumas and experiences. I offer an opportunity to identify and overcome these or other difficulties you may be experiencing.
My approach is integrative which combines psychodynamic and person centred counselling. Psychodynamic therapy can help explore and understand how these difficult feelings have been shaped by past experiences and relationships. Thoughts and behaviours can be looked at using a person centred approach to increase self awareness and confidence by looking at how we communicate with others.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental and confidential environment from my counselling room, which is in a secluded location between Sarratt and Chorleywood. My aim is to provide a respectful and supportive setting to explore these difficult areas. I can work face to face, online or over the telephone if preferred.
The initial 30 minute consultation is free and can be either online or over the telephone. This time is used to establish if we are able to work together and whether counselling feels right for you.
During an initial assessment session, we can explore the reasons you have decided to seek support at this time and agree the focus of our sessions together.
If you feel we may be able to work together, please contact me either by email or telephone. I am able to work short term or long term depending on your needs.
