I have a vast experience in working with the many diverse issues for which people may seek help in Psychotherapy. These issues may include relationship problems - at work, with friends, family members or partners; this may include fear of intimacy or commitment.
The issues may centre around low confidence or low self esteem or feelings of indecision, confusion, or loss of direction in life - clients often gain great support from psychotherapy to help them move into a new phase of life; it can stimulate a letting go and working through of issues from the past thereby giving space to germinate new ideas and renewed confidence for a greater self belief and new direction.
The issues may relate to an emotional crisis arising from sudden change of events, such as a loss of job or relationship, or it may be from a bereavement, divorce, abortion, or issues around pregnancy including infertility.
There may be specific presenting problems such as eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia) self harm, addiction (including alcohol, cocaine, sex and love), depression, difficulty sleeping, panic or anxiety attacks, or physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.
Often the issues and problems will be less specific and may include a general feeling of anxiety, depression, boredom, malaise, futility, anger, stress, loneliness, dissatisfaction, disappointment, regret, or simply a feeling of impotence or feeling stuck, without a real purpose in life.

Sometimes an individual will come with an illness or physical symptoms, emotional or psychosomatic, which may be occurring without any real understanding or insight as to from where they may derive.
Where Counselling may offer a place to deal with a specific, immediate issue, Psychotherapy will do this but often go further and deeper, providing a place to confront, process, and grapple with wider life issues around career, identity, sexuality, spirituality and meaning.
Psychotherapy can provide a safe context to express and unfold these issues in a nurturing relationship which will mirror, reflect, and support the ongoing process of change and exploration. Not only will it work to bring into consciousness, the underlying forces and patterns that may continue to re-enact behaviour from the past, but it will serve to develop and deepen self understanding and self awareness and further the capacity to make more conscious choices in life. It will often bring increased self-esteem and confidence, and a sharpening of the will to change.
Integrative Psychotherapy combines elements of Analytical Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Body Psychotherapy into one cohesive and highly effective mode of working - it is a Relational approach - centred in this unique space between Client and Therapist.
