Life may bring many changes, such as death and bereavement, illness, divorce, children leaving home, marital problems and retirement, to name but a few. These are all transitions we may expect to encounter at some time or another . Some people do not like to ask for help. They believe it is a sign of failure or human weakness. They feel they should be able to manage with the support of family or friends, or even on their own. However supportive others may be, it is helpful and important to talk to someone who understands such changes and life transitions, and who has the skills and expertise to help with the difficulties such changes may bring.
Specialist help in the form of therapy or counselling can prevent problems later on in life. Facing up to divorce, illness, retirement or bereavement can be a frightening and bewildering experience - something out of the ordinary. Identifying and exploring with a psychotherapist/counsellor your own personal response to such stresses enables you to prepare and make use of the qualities, time or inner resources you have at your disposal.
Whoever you are, whatever your age, whatever the problem you are facing, whether you are depressed, confused, feeling bad about yourself, worried, wanting to make some changes in your life or coping with unwanted change, it can help to talk things over in confidence with an understanding outsider. This kind of talking, about what is on your mind, can help you discover more about yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, values and priorities, not only to find your own solutions but also to carry them out, and to take some action for yourself.
Confidential psychoanalytic psychotherapy and counselling respects the needs of the individual and will not seek to impose opinions on you or to make decisions for you. The aim is to help you to find your own answers and to become more in charge of your life rather than less so, to tolerate what cannot be changed and to change what can; to make conscious what may be unconscious. Psychotherapy/counselling requires a commitment of time and effort to allow a safe containing environment from which to explore the impact of the past on the present, to move towards fuller understanding in the future.
A confidential psychotherapy/counselling service is offered for individuals, couples or families from a professionally qualified Counsellor and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. Talking to a psychotherapist/counsellor who understands, and who has the skills to help, may be the first step in facing and dealing with life's problems and changes. To ask for help is a sign of strength and courage.
Alexandra Keane MBACP (Accred.), MBAPPS
Throughout life, we may experience many different events such as divorce, bereavement, work, relationship or family issues. Within these times we tend to 'cope' either by ourselves, or by feeling family and friends provide us with enough support. However, events, differences and upset may cause a sense of sadness and loneliness, sometimes without knowing why.
To cope with this not knowing, we may place ourselves at risk or use coping mechanisms (such as food, alcohol, over-exercising, control) to avoid feelings that we do not understand, or perhaps feel confused or fearful of.
Within the safe, confidential relationship of counselling, we can look at these different feelings and explore together where they may come from. Over time, being open and honest can allow an understanding and acceptance of one’s self, alongside the discovery of one’s own uniqueness.

About Cognitive Behaviour Therapy...
CBT focuses on how thoughts influence emotions, behaviour and physical symptoms in different life situations. It is aimed at addressing issues causing emotional distress to bring about positive change in life. A full assessment is carried out initially to determine the best treatment approach to improve and develop coping skills and strategies.
Session information...
Sessions will take place at Crushes Manor Clinic. The clinic provides a tranquil and private space which is conducive to reflection. Sessions usually last for one hour and begin with an assessment, which may take a few sessions to complete before treatment begins. The number and frequency of sessions are decided upon together and tend to depend on the complexity of problems presented and how quickly the treatment plan advances. As a rough guide between 6 and 15 sessions can be required, however, some people gain significant benefit from a single session.
I understand that life can be really busy and day-to-day commitments can be very time consuming. In the interest of helping you make time to focus on yourself as soon as possible, I also offer weekend and evening sessions to work around your lifestyle. If preferred, I can also offer Skype, online, or telephone therapy. Please contact me if you would like to arrange pre-payment, request the relevant forms, and we can then arrange a suitable appointment, if you would prefer this method.
