Talking therapy to help you better understand yourself and find more manageable and meaningful ways to live.

AXA PPP and Aviva registered counselling

Therapy is the type of emotional hygiene that so many of us desperately need. Because when we don’t process and metabolize our lives, when we stuff our feelings in our bodies, when we don’t come to see and understand the underlying patterns in culture, our family systems, and our own behavior, we are bound to repeat rather than repair them.

And more insidiously, when we fail to do our own work, to address our own pain, we often project this darkness and discomfort onto each other.

Trauma Responsive Solution Focused or Long Term Psychotherapy for Adult Individuals.

I came to Billie after feeling slightly unfulfilled with previous counsellors—she completely overturned that discontent, and how I thought about therapy, and was exactly what I needed. I was going through some big life changes, and Billie was the guiding light and bedrock I needed to get through those heavy transitions; she helped me explore tough questions, with a firm but extremely kind and compassionate hand. Come to Billie if you want a space where you feel very safe to both push and learn to soothe yourself, and to work out your feelings with her aid.

Do you ever wonder what life could be like if you allowed yourself the time and energy to work on yourself?

Perhaps you are considering therapy because you are struggling with anxiety, difficult life events, stress related problems and aspects of life feel overwhelming or frustrating. Your relationships may be suffering, or you could feel stuck and depressed about where your life is or is going and want to work through that with a professional.  We can get stuck in patterns of behaviour linked to past trauma, or unhealthy relationships that can be hard to reconcile alone. Counselling is somewhere you can explore the impact of your past and understand what might be underneath and driving your symptoms. Therapy isn’t an intellectual endeavor, it’s an exploration within a relationship to draw out your inner world.

Thanks again for helping me work through this part of my life. I really liked your style and it was great that your were able to challenge some of my ideas and perceptions where you felt it was needed, while also being very kind, empathetic and reassuring.
