Welcome !
 

Thank you for visiting.

 

The first time I decided to see a counsellor, many years ago now, I was quite daunted and, maybe a little scared.  I did not have any idea what to expect and felt that I could not talk to my friends about it as I thought they would think I was barking mad.  What was it about, what would happen, and yes was I ‘normal’?  Strangely enough it felt more acceptable to see a hypnotherapist as many people had been had hypnotherapy for stopping smoking or losing weight.

 

Obviously I have no idea why you are looking at these pages; may be out of general interest or possibly because you would like to know how how counselling and/or hypnotherapy may be able to help you with your current difficulties.

 

Hopefully within these pages you will find information on counselling and hypnotherapy that will be able to start to answer some of your questions and maybe even allay some of your fears.  If you do not find all the answers to your questions feel free to get in touch.

 

In short I am a member of the BACP, professionally qualified in both counselling and hypnotherapy.  I work out of my offices in both Wells and Shepton Mallet in Somerset, UK.

 

I wish you all the best for your future.

Quick overview

 Sometimes we feel trapped in situations, habits or relationships with no way out. We cannot talk to our friends, let alone with our family, often because we are afraid of what they may say.
 
Sometimes we cannot put a finger on what the issue is but we know that something is wrong.
 
Whatever you are going through at present;
 
  • relationship difficulties
  • confidence issues
  • self esteem
  • sexuality problems
  • depression
  • stress
  • anxiety ....
 
Somerset Counselling can help you escape from the prison; if not personally, then I can use my network of fully qualified, experienced and professional counsellors to help find someone who will be able to help you.

 NB:  Make sure you are comfortable with your chosen counsellor

 

Whilst it seems obvious, research does suggest that the people who obtain long lasting successful results from counselling are those who have a good working relationship with their counsellor.  Whilst the counsellor can do things to help deepen the working relationship; it is essential that you, as the client, must feel comfortable with your counsellor or else little is going to happen.

 

Personally I have an initial session with all my clients, firstly to understand what they want form counselling/hypnotherapy, but also to ensure that you feel comfortable working with me.  I feel this is essential for both our sakes.

 

If you have any questions about how I work, with counselling or hypnotherapy, then either read these pages or feel free to please feel free to email me and I will try and answer your questions.

 

Also have a look at the BACP website to find some impartial advice on finding a counsellor to suit your needs.  Also this article on choosing a counsellor provides a good, albeit long, insight into how to choose a counsellor, I would also suggest that you should bear these thoughts in mind in finding a suitable hypnotherapist.
