Everlong Counselling & Psychotherapy

 

I am a BA (HONS) Humanistic psychotherapist/Counsellor working with an integrated approach in humanistic models with a Rogerian overview.

I have obtained a full enhanced CRB clearance and have been working as a therapist for a small friendly organisation based within Newark for the past two and a half years.

 

Whilst most of my clinics are on a face to face basis, I am happy to offer SKYPE or online therapy which is obviously more convenient for some.

 

I am committed to my personal and professional development and attend regular CPD workshops to futher my development as a therapist. These have included:

 

• Attachment

• Self- Care

• Creative Play Therapy

• Person- centred therapy for children and young people

• Awareness in self- harm

• Suicide

• Addiction

• Working with anxiety

 

 

 

About Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

 

Counselling and Psychotherapy are linked and similar, I am trained in both.

Counselling is often described as a type of talking help for particular issues and support is given with a focus of working within a time limited framework; it is sometimes viewed as short term support.

 

Psychotherapy is also concerned with issues, however as a psychotherapist I view my role as working with the whole person, how they experience themselves and who they are in the world. I am interested in and work with behaviour, actions, thoughts and attitudes, and our emotional self.

 

One person experiencing depression may feel 'stuck' or 'shut down' and have difficulty coping with everyday responsibilities. Whereas another person describing depression may be experiencing anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed which they are struggling to manage in a life that is busy.

One individual's pace and journey of exploration can be very different to another’s, therefore psychotherapy is open ended and can continue for as long as the client desires it.

 

As a humanistic therapist I am interested in each person’s uniqueness and seek to get to know and understand his/her story and their process. I do this through engaging with dialogue, and developing a working alliance so that we can explore together the issues that you bring.

 

Working with difficulties and facing these experiences often takes courage and therapy can provide a safe and confidential place where you can take risks with someone beside you.

 

 

There are many areas of therapy that I am able to cover with my clients, here are some listed below:
