Our problems are personal and when we experience change, brought about by bereavement, stress, illness, relationships and loss we can feel isolated and alone. The reasons for seeking counselling are as unique and varied as we are. Sometimes we have an idea of what is upsetting us and sometimes we struggle to pin point the cause of our distress.
Counselling can offer the time we lack in everyday life to acknowledge and examine the losses, anxieties or frustrations we may be feeling. It can also create the space we need to reflect on the assumptions and beliefs that might be underpinning these feelings and which may be burdening or overwhelming us. I will work with you to explore what or who has contributed towards your current beliefs or ways of looking at relationships or situations. In doing so, you can reflect on and re-evaluate the significance and meaning of these past triggers or events in light of your life today and take your chosen steps towards enabling change and growth.
I offer face to face counselling in safe and comfortable settings located in Kings Langley, Amersham and Aylesbury.
If you prefer, telephone counselling is available which can be helpful if you have difficulty travelling or have time constraints.
Walk and Talk Counselling
Walk and talk counselling is an intervention which brings together counselling, walking and the outdoors. The mind and body are integrally connected and when one experiences positive change so does the other.
It is a wonderful alternative to the traditional counselling room. There are a wide variety of clients who will benefit from walk and talk counselling including clients who are in a time of life crisis or transition. The act of walking forward can be a powerful metaphor for moving forward in life. Clients who tend to think better on their feet may find these active sessions more productive. Being in nature can add a sense of life which can help you to move forward in yours.
Locations for Walk and Talk counselling will be agreed with you to ensure the local park terrain is suitable.
