About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I’m Ronit a BACP Accredited Integrative counsellor, with over 15 years of experience; working privately, and supporting local charities. I also have experience within a high school setting; age ranges from 11-18 where I set up and delivered a counselling service for the school. Along with this I have over 8 years experience working as an IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) counsellor for the NHS, now known as Talking Therapies. 

My approach is fully inclusive, non judgemental, down to earth, honest and friendly. I believe in working collaboratively with you, listening to you, acting as your guide on your therapeutic journey all within a private space that is just yours away from the pull of the busy world we live in. 

I also have a little rescue dog, Robson, who comes into work with me. I find this can really help change the environment making it feel more relaxed, warm and caring rather than clinical.

Practice description

Do you ever feel stuck or overwhelmed? Are you going through change or loss? At some point life can be and can feel extremely challenging. My aim is to help you navigate through those challenges and make sense of them. The ultimate aim is to help you recognise your own strengths and abilities, to help equip you with some new skills or ways of thinking; allowing you to grow in confidence moving forward and supporting you to accept loss or change which may be holding you back. I provide a space where you can and will be heard. More importantly where you will be able to express yourself. When we are challenged we can feel a disconnect between mind (thoughts) and body (feelings), a “Dis-Ease” essentially. Through our sessions I hope to be able to help you identify any “dis-ease”, to find a way to reconnect, and to find that intuitive connection we all have. For this I tailor my approach to you, the individual, working to meet your needs and what you bring to sessions.

As an Integrative counsellor I utilise a variety of different models: person centered, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, emotion focused and polyvagal infomed models. By using different elements from these models I am able to tailor my therapeutic approach to you. This allows me to provide a holistic approach targeting both the psychological/neurological  (mind) and somatic (body) processes to help support you. 

Sometimes talking can be difficult, when this is the case I will use a variety of tools or methods to help you express and explore: writing, drawing or listening to and watching short video clips. I have found the advantage of having Robson in the room with us can also help change the environment and provides an alternative focal point during difficult moments allowing us to work freely. 

All of this can help facilitate change for you to live rather than struggle or just exist. 

My first session

I believe the therapeutic relationship is key in helping you move forward and it is important to find the right counsellor for you. I offer either a free 30 minute session to discuss what brings you and what you would like to get from the sessions or, a 50 minute session for £30. This allows us to start to plan how we might best work together. This initial session gives you an opportunity to see if you and I feel we can work together.  Please note sessions thereafter start from £50 per counselling hour (50 minutes).

Maybe I could help you like I’ve successfully helped others.
