Counselling Ayr

THERAPIST

I am a UKCP registered practitioner. I began helping people in 2000, some of whom have had medical diagnoses like depression, CPTSD or addiction, while others may have struggled with something that does not seem to have a name. The therapy I offer is an integration of humanistic and psychodynamic practices. Which means, I am interested in what it is to be a person in a world of others, and in how things outside of awareness may affect us.

BENEFITS

People come to therapy for individual reasons. For some, maybe your usual ways of coping no longer seem to work. For others, perhaps a question about yourself has grown too important to ignore. Modern life may feel hurried or fix us in certain roles. Counselling and psychotherapy let you engage with the specifics of your experience and whatever challenges you, through conversation together. This allows you to speak and feel heard; to discover new insights and opportunities within yourself; to be able to notice, feel and live with your emotions; and to gain control and make meaningful experiences

WHAT TO EXPECT

If you feel being in therapy for a while could benefit you then please message me about initial sessions. The first time we meet is the opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, and if it feels worth carrying on we can arrange a regular time each week. Therapy takes time, and the steady weekly schedule helps to establish a reliable place to talk. My fee is between £45-£65, which we arrange when we meet, and I then invoice monthly for all sessions (including the first).
