Hello! My name is Avril. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor, offering you psychological and wellbeing support within a safe and confidential environment. However difficult things might seem, there are ways we can work together to help you progress to the place you want to be.
I believe in possibilities and change, whether you are feeling completely stuck, or if you simply want to explore new options and opportunities to enhance your life.
As an integrative counsellor, I can offer a combination of psychoanalysis for deeper exploration, humanistic therapy which is more reflective or goal orientated CBT. I am also experienced in creative therapy and coaching, so can put together a package to suit you.
Whether you want to increase your self-confidence, manage anxiety or depression, better your relationships or improve particular areas of your life, I can offer you tools to help you reach your potential and feel good about yourself.
I am also a trauma informed practitioner and can help you change painful experiences into sources of strength, working towards resolutions and a new freedom.
However difficult your problems appear to be, we can try to look for a solution together. If you want to make changes, there is always a way!
About me and my therapy practice
The way I work with people, varies depending on the issue and the type of therapy I am using. I am always non-judgemental and will try to help you to find your own answers through collaboration and exploration.
