Thinking about therapy? Can Counselling change your life?
"The past is over. The future is not here yet. All we have is this moment, so let's make the most of it"
Fritz Perls
Welcome to your local counselling service in Hertfordshire. Finding someone to talk to who listens and understands you can be the first step of the journey towards positive change. I offer a Gestalt counselling service for individuals which is a talking therapy focused on you and your individual needs and concerns. Gestalt therapy focuses on the present moment and emphasises personal responsibility and self-awareness. The advantages of Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counselling include: promoting personal growth, increased self esteem, improved relationships and enhanced emotional well being.
"We use the word 'therapy' to cover talking therapies, such as counselling, psychotherapy and coaching. Therapy offers a safe, confidential place to talk to a trained professional about your feelings and concerns. You might talk about difficult events in your life or your relationships and emotions or you might have negative thoughts and behaviours that you want to change.
Therapists will not give you advice or solve your problems for you. They will listen to your story, helping you to understand yourself better and make positive changes in your life"
(BACP, 2019)
My focus is on you
"We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening of this very special kind is one of the most potent forces for change that I know"
Carl Rogers.
This 'special' kind of listening is what you can expect from our therapeutic relationship. I will actively listen to you and our work together is focused on raising awareness of your experiences, needs and goals.
How I work with you
I am dedicated to working with you to help you find your own solutions.
Gestalt counselling works with you, the person, not with any diagnosis or label you may have been given.
This means that I will accept you as an individual, with your unique experiences and perspectives, and I won't make any assumptions or judgements about you, or tell you how you should live your life.
You are the most valuable asset in your life; you deserve to live the best life you can and counselling helps you to reach that goal.
What I do is actively listen to you and understand your life and how it is now and how you are impacted by your relational experiences so that together we raise awareness of your own conclusions about the best way forward for you.
"Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong"
