Andrea Taylor

Counsellor

We can often manage the small problems that life throws at us, but it’s when the small problems build up when we feel that we are unable to cope. I would like to say from experience, seeking help at any stage, however small they may seem. Often embarrassment or shame can stop us from seeking help, but it might just prevent that feeling of becoming unbearable to manage.

I am a qualified person-centred therapist, which means I offer you a confidential safe space to help you navigate and explore what you want to talk about. I will offer sensitive, thoughtful responses to help you explore your issues, so you are able to find a way forward.

I am currently training in cognitive behavioural therapy, which will give you the techniques to help manage and maintain your problems. I believe that a person can identify ways to change, develop or work towards any goals that they may have. To make life that little bit easier. To me every person is an individual and knows themselves best.

I have worked with several issues ranging from depression and anxiety to Trauma and chronic health conditions. Whatever the presenting problem, I aim to be sensitive to your needs and strive to understand how things are from your perspective. I am a great believer that sharing your problems can help you heal.

I will offer you compassion, care and trust whilst being sensitive to your needs. I work with you to provide you with the time and space to reflect upon your feelings. I will give you the dignity, respect and remain non-judgemental in our sessions together.

I have been working within the care field, including mental health for over 20years. I am not claiming to be an expert. You are the expert on yourself. I will help you bring things into your awareness whilst working at your pace to gather your thoughts.
