Calm and compassionate counselling in times of challenge, change or crisis.
Welcome to Avon CBT & Psychotherapy. A counselling practice centred on the values of Integrity and Compassion, guided by 20 years of professional service dedicated to helping others as a:
I bring the empathy, training and skills acquired from this extensive experience into my therapeutic work with individuals and couples.
I understand how daunting it can feel when seeking counselling support, and the importance of knowing that you have found the right therapist to work with. I founded Avon CBT & Psychotherapy on my own core values of integrity and compassion and my priority is to provide a safe, warm and calm, non-judgemental space to work through the difficulties or anxieties which may be impacting your experience of life or relationships.
I currently provide therapy to individuals and couples from around the world, working flexibly to accommodate the needs of family life, business travel, work shift patterns and armed forces deployments. Specialising in CBT and Relationship Therapy, I am able to assist with a broad range of individual and relational issues. I also have significant experience of working with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, understanding the challenges this can bring to our closest relationships, self-esteem, work and family life.
The Counselling Journey:
I aim to make therapy as easy for you to access as possible, offering a flexible online booking system to suit your schedule, with appointment times ranging from 30-90 minutes, depending on your needs. I can deliver therapy face-to-face in my purpose built counselling room, online or whilst walking outdoors on local woodland routes or coastal footpaths.
Following a thorough assessment, we will work together to develop bespoke counselling goals, which enable us to measure your progress and change throughout the process of therapy. If needed, I am used to modifying CBT interventions to help make them more accessible or helpful for neurodivergent individuals, e.g. those with ADHD or Autism.
I recognised early in my career that one style of counselling will not suit everyone, so I can also provide a less structured counselling approach (Person-Centred Counselling) for those who would prefer this to CBT. I am also qualified to provide Mental Health First Aid Training, Stress Management Coaching and Health and Wellbeing Coaching to individuals and organisations.
I have benefitted myself from therapy and genuinely believe that it can help us to overcome difficulties which have persisted for years. My aim is to make this experience possible for others, as I support individuals and couples facing a wide variety of issues.
If you would like a conversation to see whether I may be able to help you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
