I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself. I am currently working in private practice as a qualified integrative counsellor offering individual counselling and couples counselling. I previously worked as a certified health coach for many years which lead me to a career in counselling. I am also a qualified yoga teacher so I really believe in taking a holistic approach to wellbeing. I am very passionate about the work that I do having personally struggled with depression, anxiety and crippling self-esteem issues for many years, so I know first hand how debilitating these individual struggles can be on a person. My personal experience allows me to really understand my clients on a much deeper level which enhances the therapeutic process in a positive and supportive way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e985481a628e820e01b94d4/1605277354306-Y6ULV75EFQTBMPB7CAOB/BACP+Logo+-+384357.png About https://www.therapywithlydia.com/home daily 1.0 2024-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e985481a628e820e01b94d4/1595064294937-IY78EDNAV1KMIPJI26UO/Aro%2BHa_0428.jpg Home - Does life feel like it’s getting on top of you?

The main schools of practise I draw upon are the psychodynamic approach and the person centred approach. Working psychodynamically, I am able to explore how the past might be affecting your present. By working in a person centred way, it allows us to explore what is currently going on for you. The sessions are client lead which will hopefully allow you to feel a sense of empowerment throughout the counselling process. Other techniques I integrate regularly are: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Mindfulness Self Compassion practices Writing practices Embodiment practices Breathing techniques
