Counselling, Psychotherapy, Counselling, Supervision
Hi, I'm Binkie. I'm a fully qualified and accredited psychotherapist with over 25 years experience, based in Wells in Somerset.
Finding the right therapist for yourself can be a tricky business. But there are two things that are really important, whoever you choose.
- They should be accredited and qualified. Amazingly, anyone can call themselves a therapist and offer counselling and psychotherapy! Check the small print.
- You need to feel comfortable and connected at an emotional level. You’ll only know this once you have spoken to them and get a feel for their style and approach. That’s why I offer a ‘no charge - no obligation’ conversation (phone / video / etc.) so we can get an understanding of each other, answer any questions, before moving forwards.
I can provide
- Counselling and psychotherapy for individuals over the age of 18.
- Relational counselling for couples.
- Supervision to counsellors and therapist who use TA in their practices.
- Trained in depth working with early trauma.
- In person and online.
About me
I come to psychotherapy from a background in science. I would characterise my approach as analytic and strong on diagnosis. I have followed developments in neuroscience that help our understanding of how therapy works. One of these science-based findings has been the value of mindfulness approaches and body awareness and I have incorporated these into my practice. Central to my approach are the following aims, as these will build your resilience, whatever you face;
- helping you to a better understanding of yourself, which builds self esteem and self acceptance.
- improve your ability to self-regulate your emotions. This leads to greater stability under stress, greater confidence and contentment.
I am straight forward, honest, open and non-judgemental.
