Services
Counselling sessions at Fairhaven Counselling last for 50 minutes whether you are working over video link, telephone or face to face.
If you are a new client then I will offer you a first session of 30 minutes free of charge.
This is to enable you to explore what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to get from it, and also to give you a chance to decide whether my approach feels right for you.
If you decide you'd like to continue then we will arrange a weekly or fortnightly appointment to suit you.

CBT is a form of talking therapy which looks at the way in which our thoughts and beliefs about events both present and past affect our behaviour and our feelings.
It also looks at how the things we think we have learned through experiences e.g.
I was once bitten by a dog so dogs are dangerous can negatively affect us e.g.
CBT methods can be used to treat many different mental health problems and can be very effective at enabling people to take control of their anxiety, depression, stress, negative thinking patterns, phobias, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and many other problems.

Counselling provides the opportunity to have a non-judgemental, and safe, confidential therapeutic relationship while you explore issues, emotions and situations which are preventing you from feeling able to cope.
These feelings may be brought on by events that you can identify such as bereavement, relationship worries, or stress.
However, many people can find themselves suffering from anxiety and depressive feelings for which they cannot identify a cause.
In these situations the temptation is to blame oneself and to wonder why you can't just "snap out of it" which only makes you feel worse.

Experiencing periods of sadness in life is quite normal.
Sometimes life events such as redundancy, divorce, bereavement, or illness can make us feel very unhappy for a period of time.
Even neutral or positive events such as house moves, retirement, or promotion can result in confusing periods of low mood.
All this is very normal and in most cases the low mood will lift on its own accord after a short period of time.
Sometimes however, the low mood can get stuck.
Persistent low mood drains energy, leads to social isolation, and is often accompanied by physical aches and pains.

I can work on whatever platform suits you best and many clients prefer this way of working as it offers the benefits of face to face counselling without the inconvenience of time lost travelling to the therapist's venue.
