About me and my therapy practice
I aim to offer a calm and creative space where we can meet and gently untangle whatever thoughts and feelings you're struggling with to support positive change in your life and relationships. Whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or just feel stuck or lost at some level, hopefully we can do some good work to build up your wellbeing resources and support valuable moments of psychological healing.
Let's see if we can work together to create some positive change through:
- Talk and creative therapy: To gradually build awareness, understanding and inner balance when facing difficult issues.
- Applied Energy Psychology and/or Autogenic Therapy: Self-help practices to help soothe and release stress, anxiety and more.
- Strengths and/or career coaching: For helping you to find more direction and fulfilment.
Practice description
My experiences over the years have taught me that even when we're feeling pretty balanced and stable, we can all get caught in challenging currents of the mind from time to time. I've seen how we have the potential to ride the turbulent waves of thoughts filled with emotions such as fear, sadness and anger more skilfully. If you persevere with supportive self-help practices while hearing and exploring what's causing the difficult canoeing conditions through therapy, I believe that over time you too can get better at finding your way to sparkling streams and calmer waters.
Feel free to check out my website. It says more about what I do and how we could work together, and it also has self-help resources (for managing stress, anxiety and more) that many people have benefited from over the years. Find out more at goodwillguidance.com > About > Self-help.
My first session
Your first session costs £40 and involves exploring and clarifying what brought you here and starting to identify what you want to change in your life. I may ask you to complete a self-assessment questionnaire if you're experiencing high levels of distress.
My usual fee for sessions two and after is £50 but I also offer a sliding scale based on people's ability to pay.
So there you have it! I wish you well on your journey and I'm just a phone call or message away if you'd like more information and/or would like to explore working together.
