Counselling

Helps people through stressful situations or difficult times. It can be used short term to help with specific problems or longer term for dealing with more enduring circumstances.

Some people may not know why they are struggling but they know they need assistance. Counselling can help you find a way forwards in your life.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can also be a way of moving forwards and is often seen as a continuation of the counselling process.

Psychotherapy allows the client and therapist to look more deeply at things like exploration of difficult feelings, identification of behaviour patterns, uncomfortable, awkward or even self damaging situations that appear to continue to repeat themselves. Psychotherapy can assist recovery, allowing the client to move forwards and feel better about themselves and their situation.

Like counselling, psychotherapy can be used to assess and deal with issues irrespective of how large or small they may be. Life changing events like a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a relationship ending or encountering financial hardship can have an immense impact upon a person.

These experiences can have a devastating effect upon a person's general wellbeing. Sometimes just the opportunity to explore feelings and the ability to talk to somebody impartial about them can be enough. A competent therapist will know how to listen and respond to a person who has suffered these types of enduring circumstances.

Counselling/Psychotherapy sessions last for approximately one hour. Frequency of these sessions are decided by both the client and therapist together depending upon time and budget constraints but are normally scheduled on a weekly basis in the very early days of therapy. As improvements are noted the frequency between sessions can be lengthened. Regular reviews are carried out to ensure the client feels comfortable at all times with arrangements that are put in place.

ENIGMA offers both short term counselling or longer term psychotherapy dependant upon the clients’ unique requirements.

Child counselling and psychotherapy session

Child Counselling / Psychotherapy Sessions

ENIGMA provides sessions particularly tailored to young people or children. In situations where young people find themselves facing crisis, counselling/psychotherapy sessions offer a safe uninhibited, confidential environment for their feelings to be explored. It is paramount that the young child/person feels comfortable in the counselling session and every effort is made to allow them to feel at ease.

Supervision

I am fully accredited by The Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I use an integrative approach of counselling combining a blend of person centred, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, solution focused therapies and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am DBS checked and I attend regular training courses to ensure I am fully up to date with current techniques and research. I receive monthly BACP Accredited Supervision and I hold Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Couple Counselling

ENIGMA provides couple counselling to allow individuals' to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe confidential environment. Sometimes lack of communication can have far reaching effects upon a relationship. Couple counselling therefore allows opportunities for partners to share their inner feelings and thoughts in sessions so that an understanding of problem areas within the relationship can be identified.
