Auxilium Counselling Services

About

I'm an integrative counsellor, which means that I am trained in a number of different theories and practices and I use these interchangeably to provide a client focused practice.

Due to Covid-19, I currently provide video call sessions using a system called VSee which has end to end encryption to ensure confidentiality. When not in lockdown, I work with clients in a purpose-built office which is designed to be a calm space where clients feel safe enough to share their experiences.

Although I work with client’s facing many life issues, I specialise in anxiety, depression, and historical and recent trauma. The feelings and thoughts that come with these experiences can be completely debilitating and impact a person's life regularly or sporadically. Clients who live with these events can often feel like they have lost control, don't feel whole and aren't able to live life to the fullest possible extent. People may even feel like something isn't quite right and wonder what that niggling feeling is that won't go away. Through the process of counselling, engaging in exploration and understanding, my goal is to facilitate change, empowering my clients to make choices that suit them and meet their needs.

In our modern society there are many situations that can occur which cause life to become difficult. Some people may have experienced difficulties throughout the whole of their lives, some may have experienced changes to their circumstances, or have gone through life changing experiences more recently. I believe that whatever a person’s life experiences, everyone deserves an opportunity to heal, develop a stronger sense of self, or just understand themselves better.

It’s important to find the right counsellor, whether you have been to therapy before or this is the first time you've looked for a counsellor, you may have questions about what to expect and this could be creating anxiety. I am happy to answer questions you may have by email, I’m also able to have an initial phone conversation if that would be more suitable.
