Counselling and psychotherapy in Berkhamsted
Welcome to my practice for psychotherapy and counselling
As a psychotherapist my aim is to create a confidential, sensitive and supportive environment where you feel able to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. We look at what is happening in your life at present and in the past, to understand how your life experiences have contributed to the person you are today and to the circumstances that you find yourself in.
Psychotherapy for individuals and couples
By coming to psychotherapy you are taking the first step towards change. I have worked with many clients presenting with a wide range of issues such as:
Sometimes circumstances and feelings can be so overwhelming that people feel stuck, confused and torn. In therapy we can gain more clarity about where we are at, who we are, and different ways forward.
How long does psychotherapy take?
I see clients anywhere from a few months to several years. The length of therapy depends on the presenting issues and on what you hope to get from therapy. Some clients benefit from a few months of therapy where there is usually a focus on a particular issue. In all cases sessions take place during a regular, agreed slot on a weekly basis.
Some clients gain clarity from talking through their situation with me, from exploring their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Others benefit from having a safe space where difficult feelings can emerge and be expressed, allowing clients to move on with greater emotional wellbeing.
Appointments
I work with clients weekly during a regular, agreed slot. The duration of therapy can be open-ended or for an agreed time period of time.
My fee is £50 pounds per session. I usually offer evening appointments as well as daytime appointments between 10am and 3pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. If counselling or psychotherapy could be for you, I would be delighted to hear from you.
