At different times in your life, you want someone to listen to you and truly listen to you in a safe environment. You want something that comes without judgement but is able to understand your feelings and work with you rather than against you, but more importantly, make sense of what you are feeling and help work out what is to come next.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or a loss of confidence and don't know where to turn?

Do you say to yourself

• "Why do I feel anxious all the time?"
• "Why am I always so stressed?"
• "Why do I have no confidence?"

That is when counselling can be really helpful for you.

You can book a free no obligation 15 minute call where you can ask questions and find out if I am the right fit for you.

You may be asking why counselling would be good for you?

Why Counselling

Counselling and talking therapy offers you a private and safe space to talk through anything you want in a secure and confidential space without judgement, or pressure where you get to explore your thoughts and feelings more openly.

It can give you a space to talk through your options, gather clarity, understanding your feelings, getting more control whilst understanding more about your current and past challenges that you feel might be holding you back.

This is all done in at the right pace for you and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Counselling and talking therapy can also help provide you allow you to talk to someone who is completely independent where you may not feel like you can talk to your friends or family.

Do you feel like you want to talk things through but want to do it with an independent person?

If this sounds like something you would like to find out more and it resonates with you, you're welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial conversation.

Areas covered but not exclusive can be low mood, stress, confidence, loss and grief, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, low-self-esteem, phobias, and addictions.

Qualification

I believe that having the right qualification and professional body is an important and integral part of my practice as this keeps both the client and counsellor safe.

I work with 'person centred principles' where you can talk freely and with support help you find the right solutions. Everything is done in confidence, and at the right pace for you.

I also offer CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which is a highly effective targeted therapy which is normally between 6 and 12 sessions.

Qualified through the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and I am also registered as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Where I work

You can either have face to face sessions, online or via the telephone which are normally 50 mins long. Each session costs £50.

I currently work out of the rooms at the Wincanton Wellbeing Centre on the high street in Wincanton, Somerset for face to face sessions - www.wincantonwellbeing.com

Otherwise I work remotely via telephone or Zoom at all other times.

About me

I started a coaching business back in 2016 called Your Time Coaching after extensive years in the corporate world as I knew that I loved helping others. www.yourtimecoaching.com

After many years of this, I noticed there was a need in my business to offer counselling as sometimes clients just needed some space to just talk and it wasn't always about working on the next thing in their own career or business.

By offering both counselling and coaching has enabled me to provide a choice for the client to have that safe space to talk about anything.

I am a big believer that having someone there who listens and helps you work through any issues is a positive move.

It doesn't matter how big or small the challenges are they are all important. I believe getting the right support can allow you to process your thinking, work through steps to move forward and make anything you want to become possible.

If I am not working, you will find me walking with friends and family, going to theatres and watching different sports and I love dogs.
