Welcome to

Cotswold Talking Therapy

In person counselling and psychotherapy in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

Online from anywhere in the UK.

Counselling is Time dedicated solely to you.

Time to tap into your thoughts and emotions, to help make sense of your experiences, and in turn, help you move forward.

A warm welcome to you. As we navigate our way through life, we face unique circumstances that shape how we relate to ourselves and those around us. Counselling can be accessed for a multitude of reasons. Some examples are:

An experience that has happened recently or in the past

Big life changes

Ongoing mental health struggles such as depression and anxiety

Relationship difficulties and much more.

Counselling is a consistent and contained space where you can pause and spend time connecting to yourself in a way that is not always possible within your friend/ family networks. As your counsellor, I encourage you to explore your experiences, your responses and connect to your emotions so that you can find ways to live more peacefully within yourself.

What to Expect

In a cosy and relaxed therapy room, we meet weekly. As you share your experiences with me, I will listen without judgement and support you to challenge aspects that could be holding you back. The relationship that we build is an important part of the therapy as I become someone you can share your inner world with, trusting that I will hold your story with great care.

I often work creatively which includes the use of sand, figurines, images, clay, pens and paper to help deepen exploration. This is particularly useful when words are out of reach.

Testimonials

I cannot thank you enough for all of your support over the last 12 weeks. You have been instrumental in helping me work through some difficult times whilst rediscovering my worth, confidence and hope for the future and my days feel so much brighter for it.

Thank you so much for the support over the past 10 months. You’ve really helped me to grow, and my life and perspective have changed so much, for the better, thanks to you.

Thank you for accepting me just as I am, and for helping me to begin to accept myself. Having never seen a counsellor before, I quickly realised how much I needed to talk…and write…and cry…and laugh! Thank you for having an endless supply of tissues!

You have helped me accept parts of myself that I used to hate. This past year has given me the chance to say things out loud that I never dreamed I would, and slowly the weight I have been carrying for so long feels lighter.
