'Trauma is not what happened to you, but what happens inside you, as a result of what happened to you.'
Dr Gabor Mate
Counselling, Trauma Support and Resilience Building
I offer weekly counselling to adults online or face-to-face at The Practice Rooms in the centre of Cheltenham. I charge £50 per 50 minute session for weekly counselling.
As a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and certified Havening Techniques®️ practitioner, I offer a place to talk as freely as you want to about the situations and emotions you're experiencing, and to feel truly heard.
I'll help you discover how experiences in the past are affecting your ability to respond to your own needs and the needs of others now, so you can start to make positive changes or adapt to difficult situations.
To support our work, I offer Havening Techniques. If these work for you, they will increase your emotional resilience and provide a quicker recovery from trauma than counselling on its own.
What are Havening Techniques?
Havening Techniques pair self-applied or practitioner-applied touch with positive calming mental activities. When successful, this creates a 'safe haven' for the mind and body where the connections formed in the brain by traumatic experiences are naturally deactivated. Symptoms disappear and traumatic experiences can be left behind in the past, where they belong.
Havening Techniques can also be effective for phobias, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, stress, releasing blocked emotions, and improving wellbeing when living with pain or chronic illness.
As an alternative to counselling, I also offer standalone Havening Techniques sessions on a book-as-you-go basis. I charge £60 per Havening Techniques session.
