Avril Hollings
Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychotherapy and counselling both offer a safe, confidential space in which to explore particular difficulties and strategies for coping with these. They can also increase your understanding of yourself and range of options in the world.

Psychotherapy and Counselling can help with:

stress

anxiety

depression

self esteem

difficulty expressing or managing feelings

relationship issues

work issues

trauma

isolation

loss

On-going Psychotherapy
On-going psychotherapy provides the opportunity for in-depth exploration of patterns and ways of relating. It allows for the gradual addressing of trauma, hurt or loss, as well as increasing insight and options, within an on-going therapeutic relationship. The length of the therapy is negotiated, reviewed and agreed between therapist and client.


Short-term Psychotherapy and Counselling
When there is a particular issue, crisis or situation which is causing difficulty, Avril also works with clients on a short-term basis. These kinds of issues include:

work related problems

loss and bereavement

making a decision

relationship issues

Short-term work gives an opportunity to talk about an issue in a supportive environment, identify coping strategies and explore your options and needs for further support.


Avril's Approach
Avril is an Integrative Psychotherapist and her approach is relational. She sees her work with clients as a collaborative endeavour. She begins by discussing and agreeing with clients the focus for their work together, and encourages an on-going conversation about how the work is going.

Sessions are confidential and Avril will discuss confidentiality at the start of the work. Generally sessions are weekly.
