About me and my therapy practice
Hi I am Merv, I am an integrated counsellor working both Person Centred and Psychodynamically to help guide individuals through various mental health challenges.
I use Psychodynamic and Person-Centred theories to provide you with deeply empathic support whilst you process your experiences. During our sessions together, we work together to develop a strong therapeutic relationship between us, providing a non-judgemental and safe environment to encourage and enable your healing. This enables us to gain a connection and allow us to work in a non-directive way, at your pace. If this approach to counselling appeals to you, please get in touch.
Practice description
In my practice, I work with individuals facing a diverse array of challenges, including but not limited to depression and anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, self-esteem issues, neurodivergence and stress. Each person is unique, so my approach is tailored to meet their specific needs. I create a therapeutic space that is free of judgement and is a space for all regardless of background.
I work face to face in comfortable confidential rooms and also online. This enabling accessibility to the support you need.
My first session
Our first contact will be a phone call or teams video call when we can discuss what has bought you to counselling and what you might be looking for.
The next step, if you are happy too, is to book in a 1 hour session to complete an assessment which allows us to meet and to give you the opportunity to see how we may work together and for you to tell me your story of what has bought you to this point in your life
After this you can then decide if you want continue and we can book further sessions.
