Are you seeking psychotherapy or counselling in Norwich? Do you want to get to the root of what is troubling you or not working in your life? Would you like to find clarity and confidence in order to know how to deal with what you are going through, and discover new and more fulfilling ways forward? If so, I invite you to read on. Finding the right therapist for you is very important.
The Counsellor Norwich page will give you an indication of the kind of therapist I am, and the following pages describe in more detail how I work, and should give you more of a feel for what having counselling or psychotherapy with me is like. However, please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book an initial exploratory session to find out whether it would be appropriate for you.
Sometimes my practice is full. If this is the case I can usually still see you for an initial exploratory session, in which I would assess your particular needs, and either put you on my waiting list or refer you on to someone else who I think might be a good 'fit' for you.

Services
I practise as a counsellor and psychotherapist with individuals, couples and groups from a central part of Norwich.
The way I work takes into account the whole person - including the body and spirit - not just the thinking part of you.
If you are looking for a counsellor in Norwich who is not limited to just one school of psychotherapy, then my way of working might suit you.
I use what is called an Integrative approach, combining an accredited training in Humanistic Counselling with influences from other therapeutic approaches that I have also studied, trained in and/or participated in myself.

Everyone experiences difficulty at one time or another.
Whether you are dealing with a major life event, suffering anxiety or depression, or simply experiencing that something is not working in your life, this is an opportunity for you to step out of your everyday roles and usual ways of thinking, and bring non-judgmental awareness to yourself, in order to get to the root of what is troubling you or holding you back in your life.
My first aim is to provide a safe, clear, authentic space in which you can be yourself in the knowledge that you will be fully accepted, however you are.

In order to get to the root of the issues you bring, our focus will be on putting them in the context of your own experience, past and present.
In truth personal issues, 'psychological conditions', and even difficult circumstances are very often 'symptoms' of how you are relating to your day to day experience.
They need to be understood in relation to your own particular way of seeing and experiencing the world, yourself, and those around you.
In therapy we look at how this perspective has shaped the unconscious beliefs and 'strategies' you have developed in order to try to get your needs met and avoid pain, and whether they are actually working for you.

When we come together as partners in a sexual relationship, we may first enjoy a 'honeymoon period' if we are lucky, but sooner or later conflict, misunderstanding, hurt and disappointment inevitably arise.
This is natural and happens even if the relationship is basically good and has real potential.
This is because intimate relationships challenge us in ways that bring up unconscious and disowned parts of ourselves - those sides to us that we find painful and which we may not want to see.
Our partner, simply by being their self, often unwittingly does us the service of touching us in these sensitive places, so revealing our vulnerability, or more usually the ways in which we put up barriers to defend ourselves against feeling vulnerable.

These groups aim to provide a safe, authentic space in which you can be yourself, knowing that you will be fully accepted, however you are.
The very discovery of how you are experienced by others can illuminate out-dated beliefs that you hold about yourself, and other ways in which you keep yourself stuck or compromise your well-being.
It can be at times challenging, but more often very affirming and such a relief to hear how others actually perceive you.
This awareness can be a powerful antidote to the habitual negative beliefs that could be holding you back in your life.
