Ready to take the first step towards positive change?
Simply reach out to me via email or the provided contact form to schedule your initial consultation. During this session, we'll discuss what you're looking for and how I can support you.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and laying the foundation for our work together. We'll have an informal chat to understand your background, what brought you to counselling, and your aims and goals. My priority is to set you at ease and establish a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we'll establish the structure for future sessions and ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
At LiveBetter Counselling, I offer an integrative approach to therapy, combining several therapeutic modalities to best meet your individual needs. My core approach is Person-Centred which focuses on creating a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. By exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe space, you can gain insight and self-awareness, leading to personal growth and positive change.
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to your difficulties. By learning practical strategies and techniques, you can develop healthier coping skills and change unhelpful patterns, leading to improved emotional well-being and problem-solving abilities.
TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS:
Transactional analysis examines the interactions and transactions between individuals, helping you understand your communication style, relationship dynamics, and patterns of behaviour. By gaining insight into your interpersonal relationships and developing effective communication skills, you can improve your relationships and overall satisfaction in life.
PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY:
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious processes influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. By uncovering underlying patterns and unresolved conflicts, you can gain insight into your current difficulties and work towards healing and personal growth.
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindful psychotherapy approach which involves acknowledging and accepting difficult thoughts and emotions and increasing psychological flexibility, to be able to move forward in line with values and goals.
REWIND THERAPY:
I also offer Rewind Therapy for trauma and PTSD. The Rewind technique can greatly reduce or even remove symptoms caused by trauma, without the need for disclosure.
Relationships can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate them alone. In couples counselling, we'll work together to address common issues such as:
Couples counselling provides a supportive space for you and your partner to explore these issues openly and honestly. Through effective communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and exercises to build trust and intimacy, couples therapy can help you and your partner strengthen your bond, improve communication, and build a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.
As a fellow therapist, I understand the importance of supervision in supporting your professional growth and development. Supervision provides a structured and supportive space for reflection, learning, and growth. In supervision sessions, we'll discuss:
My style of supervision is collaborative and supportive, where I hope you can feel able to be honest and open, without fear of judgement. My aim is to provide guidance, feedback, and support to help you navigate the complexities and dilemmas of client work and enhance your effectiveness as a therapist.
Together, we'll explore your cases, develop your skills and confidence, and ensure you're providing the best possible care to your clients. Being a therapist can be demanding so it’s important to look after ourselves and supervision is a safe space for us to explore this together.
