Struggling to find motivation?Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed?Trying to cope with new challenges?
There are times when we all need someone alongside us while we:- Re-define coping mechanisms that no longer serve us
- Process a traumatic experience (be it abuse, separation or physical injury/accident)
- Grieve a loss
- Reach our potentialWhether you are feeling isolated or surrounded by colleagues and friends, therapy can offer a space to try out different ways of being or express feelings and emotions not always possible elsewhere.Sometimes words aren't enough to express or process feelings and emotions so we could incorporate several different art forms dependent on what best facilitates our work. Since we would just use the arts to explore your unique process no familiarity, skills or previous experience is needed.
About Me
My name is Kate and I offer Counselling and Art Psychotherapy sessions in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend, Essex.My approach has been shaped through experience in local community services, including Mind and the NHS. Additionally, undergoing intensive personal therapy-required by my training-has deepened my self-awareness and insight, allowing me to remain fully present, engaged, and focused on your unique journey.I believe that we all possess the inner resources to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. However, developmental, traumatic, or disruptive life experiences can sometimes create barriers to that potential. In a therapeutic space centered on your needs and hopes, we can begin to gently explore those obstacles and open the path toward the growth and change that already exist within you.
