My name is Kirsten, I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and member of the BACP. I am a caring and empathetic counsellor, and I would love to support you on your counselling journey. I offer a free 30-minute introductory session online so that you can meet me prior to starting your counselling.
Our emotional wellbeing is as important as our physical wellbeing. As humans our lives are a complex tapestry of past experiences and current challenges and at times we will all undergo struggles within our lives. It may be a result of changes in our lives, planned or unplanned. It may be that we realise we have finally had enough of living with difficult patterns or habits which prevent us from living our lives to their full potential. We may live under the constant shadow of depression or anxiety, unable to see a way out. For some, there may have been past traumas which have not been worked through and cause us to remain stuck. Counselling allows a supportive space to help untangle the many difficulties that life can present to us.
How do I work?
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I will help you to reflect on past experiences and link these to patterns in your current life. Our childhood sets a template which can hold us back. My role is to facilitate the changes that you want to make in your life. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive space for my clients to work through areas of difficulty in their lives. By developing a positive therapeutic relationship, I will support you in your counselling journey.
What will our sessions be like?
Sessions are weekly and last 50 minutes, they can either be in person at the Matlock Therapy Rooms or online via Teams.
