If you have reached an impasse and wonder why you fall back into repeated habits that you wish you could change, or perhaps you’re holding it together on the outside but on the inside you’re crumbling.   Therapy can help you gain a different perspective and encourage you to consider a wider frame of view.  This has the potential to generate previously unseen perspectives, and offer healthier, more adaptive ways to move forward. 

Kim Atwell’s integrative training means that she has experience with a range of theories and techniques to be able to offer you an individualised therapeutic plan.  A strong therapeutic relationship is at the core of the work, which lays the foundations for a carefully tailored therapeutic pathway to meet your specific needs.  Kim will work together with you towards greater awareness, understanding, and change: discovering what’s right for you in alignment with your core values.

Short, medium or longer-term sessions are offered, which can be looked at flexibly during an initial session.

For a free-of-charge initial talk, please contact Kim by email or phone on 07917 770067.

Mark is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He trained with a degree from the University of Gloucester in an integrative person-centred therapy approach.  

Integrative person-centred counselling is based in support for the individual on their own unique journey of self-exploration and development. It is centred in a therapeutic healing relationship. Acknowledging that much of our difficulty and trauma arises in the context of important relationships, such as family and early life, and is best worked upon in a trusting relational context such as can develop in counselling and therapy. 

He has also trained in mindfulness and meditation in a Buddhist context and has over thirty years of professional experience teaching mindfulness and meditation to people. He brings awareness from these disciplines in to his work as a counsellor. Mark has also trained in Focusing, an approach which helps us to contact our own truer self by listening to direct our own internal voice and our direct bodily experience.
