Counselling Students

Training to become a counsellor was one of the most exciting, challenging and worthwhile periods of my life. At the same time, I remember feeling very apprehensive about the prospect of going back to education and not so sure about how I would manage my academic life alongside the rest of my life.

My modality is Humanistic Gestalt. By working together, you will be able to experience how a Gestalt session looks and feels. We can introduce "experiments" into our session that may help you look at your presenting issue in a different way while giving you a new perspective and creating a more self-aware view of yourself.

I currently work in a university setting, counselling faculty students. I am familiar with many of the common issues that affect young and mature students.

Student clients may experience: academic pressure, stress, struggle with change in family dynamics, social anxiety, self-confidence issues, difficultyto cope/ with and balance work, family and academic life.

Some issues that may be explored in therapy:

• Adjusting to college life as a mature student
• The need/requirement for counselling while in counselling course
• Balancing family life and college work
• Balancing college expectations with "real" life/ paid employment
• Academic assignments/standards
• Impact of group dynamics on Self
• Relationship difficulties
• Separation/Divorce
• Feeling anxious
• Feeling stressed
• Work related issues
• Support systems.

I am able to offer a reduced rate of £35.00 per session for all counselling students.

Please contact me for an initial appointment of up to 50 minutes at the rate of £25.00
