Rory Belfield
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
Seeking support through counselling is a big first step to take and I can be there to help and support you with this.
I use a warm and empathic approach as an integrative therapist combining different elements of therapy to create a safe and confidential space from which you can explore any issue that may be concerning you.
Building on the foundation of this will help us to explore what you are seeking help with and to hopefully assist better understanding of the issue that you are bringing. I believe that you are the expert and have the answers and solutions to your issues
As well as working with clients who have experienced depression, anxiety or abuse, I also have knowledge of working with individuals who have low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Other areas of knowledge are addiction and family issues.
I can also offer Older people's counselling, as I have experience of working with clients who are living with dementia and the impact this has on them, as well as their partner and family and making the decision for themselves or a loved one to move into a care home. I also support clients with loss and bereavement.
I also have experience of managing a team and the stresses that this can bring as well as other workplace issues when working with colleagues and clients
I understand the issues and pressures of being in a managerial role generally and specifically when working as a manager in a care home
I offer a neutral safe space to be heard, listened to and understood in a non-judgmental way.
