Find a Counsellor in Gloucester

We’re all unique, yet we share some challenges in life. Stress, trauma, loss and fear are just a few that can knock us off course. I see therapy as a way not only of getting you back on track, fast, but helping you to fulfil your potential. When the difficulties of life leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, I can help you to find the first steps to recovery. No one therapy can work for all, so my approach is to build on what works for you, drawing on therapeutic disciplines that best fit your presentation and personality.

Life can feel incredibly hard at times, especially when you’re facing challenges that feel too heavy to carry alone. When things feel out of our control, it’s natural to feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, or alone in the world. You may be longing to feel heard and understood but find it difficult to talk openly with friends or family. Perhaps you’re comparing yourself to others, questioning who you are, or feeling unsure about where your life is heading right now.

At Cognitive Mind Solutions (CMS) we use Cognitive Hypnotherapy (CH) which is a most effective combination of techniques from Evolutionary Psychology, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Theory and Neuro Linguistic Programming. With CH we break down the origins of a presenting problem rather than just addressing the symptoms as happens with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and other talking therapies.

Sometimes the world can be overwhelming, difficult to navigate, confusing and simply put hard work. Life can get messy and painful and sometimes, when this happens we do not know what to do. We can feel alone, anxious and unsure of the next step. If you are feeling like this, counselling could be the exact thing you need.

I offer a warm, calm, empathic and non-judgemental approach to counselling, giving time and space to talk.  I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, working with the National Counselling Association. I use a range of counselling styles, based around the individual's needs and I form a strong, therapeutic relationship with clients, which I feel is essential in providing a safe environment for clients to talk and bring about effective change.

Let me begin by telling you a story … Back in 1993, a lady was put into a situation where she feared for her personal safety. She was actually very safe, in the house where she lived - but a situation led to her feeling very unsafe. This feeling took the lady to a place that ultimately opened up a huge can of worms …. and subsequently into therapy. The first therapist she saw was unhelpful in her approach and so the lady decided, she didn't need therapy.

Perspective is Everything, and sometimes all we need is to see the world through a different set of eyes. We are so used to living our lives on autopilot that we have lost touch with why we are really here. Our lives are inundated with Anxiety, Trauma, Pain and worst of all, Fear. SAIWAI is here to Listen and for those who want, we are here to Council. Our objective is to help people empower themselves to eliminate these sensations, and to teach a life of Calmness, Joy and Peace of Mind.
