Decima Hendrick

I currently have availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the day. 

We all struggle from time to time. Whether it’s something that’s going on for you currently or something you’ve potentially always found difficult, I believe we all have the ability to make changes (even if it doesn’t feel like it right now), especially when we are able to do that at a pace that works for us. Most importantly - you really don’t have to do it alone.

Whatever your reasons for seeking counselling, exploring your concerns confidentially with a supportive therapist can help to unravel and make sense of your feelings, helping you find your way forward. Our relationship is a huge part of that process and so I work to build a warm, trusting relationship from the beginning, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space. 

Each of us has our own set of unique life experiences and challenges, so as an integrative counsellor, I adapt my approach to your individual needs, weaving together several different theories and ways of working. As well as working with what is going on for you now, I also take a psychodynamic approach, where appropriate, which can help you recognise how your past experiences influence the here and now. 

I work with adults of all ages and offer short or long-term therapy. We can talk about which is best for you when we meet. I have experience in a number of areas including anxiety, depression, low mood, self-esteem, confidence, relationships, and loss.

Finding the right therapist can be tricky; reading a profile and seeing a photograph can only give you so much. The best way to decide if we can work together is for us to meet, which is why I offer an initial no-obligation 20-minute session (online) at no charge. During this session we will briefly discuss your needs and you can find out a bit more about how I work. I encourage you to do that with a number of therapists before making any decisions. 

After this initial session, if you decide to continue, we will arrange to meet weekly for sessions lasting 50 minutes. During our first face to face session we explore in more detail what brings you to counselling, what you hope to achieve and how we will work together.
