Hi I'm Dymphna.
I'm a qualified counsellor
As a counsellor I have experience of working with adults with a wide variety of problems including loss, depression, anxiety, guilt, anger and relationship issues.
I obtained a certificate in working with trauma after qualifying as a counsellor. Many of us have suffered trauma at some point in our lives. The symptoms are complex and the impact can be devastating. But finding a way through is well worth it.
I am also a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT), which means that I am used to working with people to enable them to achieve their life goals.
My two professions compliment each other. As an OT I am used to working in a very practical way with my patients. As a counsellor I work in a deeper way, looking at what is behind the behaviour, feelings and thoughts of my clients. In both roles I am supporting my client to reach their potential.
I believe in using humour in both my professional roles, as used appropriately it can support healing.
I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I trained at the Wealden Institute for 4 years, in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. I have a masters level Diploma in Psychotherapuetic Counselling.
If you are struggling, I may be able to help.
