Neil Saunders
Life can be perplexing, complex and difficult to navigate. There may be some challenges that are affecting you right now – maybe a sense that something isn’t right, a sense of feeling stuck or trapped.
In life, we often absorb messages about who we are, or who we think we are meant to be, and assume roles and expectations. Therapy can offer a unique space and opportunity for opening up an exploration about how these align with your own sense of self and who you want to be, moving forward.
You may want to find a deeper understanding of yourself, explore recurring patterns – or find a sense of purpose, meaning or direction. It may be a general sense of anxiety, depression or overwhelm from the pressures of the modern world. There may be specific situations that lead to difficult emotions, holding you back from moving forwards with your life.
About Me
I offer a safe space to explore these issues together and navigate a process of positive change. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together towards your goals. I can offer a non-judgemental, confidential space for us to work through your difficulties at a pace that is right for you. I am a qualified person-centred therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I also have qualifications and experience of working with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy – integrating CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and hypnotherapy. This can offer a useful lens for understanding difficulties and can provide some evidence-based techniques for managing stress, reducing anxiety and changing behaviours. In bringing these approaches together, I allow the process of therapy to adapt to your needs rather than following a fixed model.
How I Work
If you want to explore the possibility of booking a session, please send me an email and I will arrange for us to have a free, no-commitment 20 minute telephone call to discuss what you want and to see if we are a good fit before booking our first session.
At the initial session, I allow space to fully explore your difficulties at your own pace and together we collaborate to find a way forward. This may involve some therapy goals which can be reviewed in subsequent sessions.
Online and/or telephone appointments are available.
