Counselling and Psychotherapy ~ with Penny

Penny
     Therapies

‘Talking’ therapies offer a safe and supportive environment in which to explore difficult issues and develop greater self-knowledge. Past experiences and our responses to them affect present ways of feeling and behaving, and these responses are often not under our conscious control.  Unresolved issues may leave us feeling stuck, unhappy or powerless to change.
 
Within the safety of the therapeutic relationship it is possible to explore how these past experiences affect us in the present, and to resolve and release our emotional blocks.  Through this process we become more understanding and accepting of ourselves, break free from old patterns, and release the energy needed to make healthy and positive choices.
 
Short term counselling can be useful for specific issues such as bereavement, conflict in relationships or workplace, and other causes of stress, enabling clients to work out strategies for dealing with their difficulties and gain more insight into the cause of the problem.
 
Longer-term therapeutic work is available for more complex issues, such as struggles with sexuality, depression, anxiety, repeated negative patterns in relationships, addictions, troubled eating and body image, feelings of isolation, low self- esteem, lack of confidence, or the effects of abuse in childhood.
 
My methods of working are based on transparency, listening, observation and feedback.  I use the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy, whose principal ideas are the connectedness between body and psyche, past and present.  I have also incorporated into my work the exploration of  dreams and the use of artwork and images, drawn from my training in Transpersonal Psychology.
 
I work with individuals, couples and groups, using  a flexible, client-centred approach, often incorporating guided (or self-guided) visualisation, artwork, dreamwork and exploration of family constellations into my sessions.  I am also available for supervision, which can benefit practitioners of complementary medicine as well as carers and counsellors.
 
 
Sessions last for 50 minutes, and are charged at £37 per session.  Couples £42.  All fees negotiable for unwaged clients.
