I am often asked What is Counselling ? What is Psychotherapy ?
Generally Counselling and Psychotherapy mean the same thing, a professional therapist helping a client, couple, family or group to solve their problems and plan for the future.

There are times when we all need a good listening to!

For all of us, there are times in our lives when we experience distressing events and feelings which seem to have no end or solution in sight. Sometimes we know that our feelings are due to particular circumstances such as:

If our anxiety or distress becomes too great we can be prompted into making hasty decisions, often to be regretted.
  1. Stress in relationships at work.
  2. Breakdown of relationships and divorce.
  3. Redundancy or retirement.
  4. Eating disorders, drug taling or drinking too much.
  5. Housing, employment or financial worries.
  6. Bereavement, separation and loss.
  7. Abuse and insecure family attachments.
  8. Poor self esteem, self valuing and self worth.
  9. Panic attacks, phobias, depression, anger, anxiety and fear.
  10. Feelings of shame, embarrassment and guilt.

At other times we may not actually know what is making us feel the way we do, all we know is that our lives have become uncomfortable, difficult or unbearable.

If our anxiety or distress becomes too great we can be prompted into making hasty decisions, often to be regretted.

You Are Not Alone...

Thousands of people in Britain seek help from a counsellor or psychotherapist at some time in their lives. Some people refer themselves for help while others come to counseling having been referred by their manager, minister, doctor or medical specialist. Whoever you are, whatever your problem, whenever you are worried, depressed, confused, feeling bad about yourself, coping with unexpected change or crisis or just wanting to make some changes in your life, it can be helpful to talk things over without criticism and judgement.

Where Do I Go From Here?
A first meeting with a counsellor is an opportunity to discuss whether counselling would be appropriate to your needs, and it is without obligation on either side.

You may just want to talk, but at some stage you will need to know about practical considerations such as confidentiality, time, place, cost and duration of meetings. The number of meetings, called sessions, will vary according to individual need and circumstances, but they usually last about an hour. Fees are on a sliding scale, so that charges are agreed according to frequency, length of sessions and numbers attending counselling sessions.

Feel free to ask any questions you wish, as you will need to know where you stand and to satisfy yourself that this particular counsellor is a person whom you could trust and work with. Click here to contact me.

About Aegis - Peter Stell
Someone once said that if all a therapist had in his kit bag were a hammer, he would treat all his clients like a nail! I have been a therapist for almost two decades and I do not see my clients in that way! No, my clients, are unique individuals with their own exceptional personalities, histories, cares and concerns, and to treat them all in the same way would be to diminish them in some way. In essence, therapy is about helping people discover who they really are and helping them meet their potential.

Therapy is not just about a problem to be solved, it’s about a journey to be had. Therapy is not just about change management, it’s about gaining the sort of self-awareness and self-understanding that enables a person to find unconditional self-acceptance, health, healing and wholeness in themselves, in their relationships and in their world.

What sort of therapist can help a person heal their wounds and come to know themselves? Well, first off, I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means that I have studied and integrated a number of theories and am proficient in the practice of them, whether I am working with individuals, couples counselling, family therapy or group therapy in Spalding, Lincolnshire or anywhere in the UK.

Therapy is not just about a problem to be solved,

sexual abuse and addictions; bereavement, loss and depression; anxiety, fear and phobias; anger and relationship problems; stress in the workplace and critical incident trauma to psychiatric disorders.

 

My qualifications are at degree and higher diploma levels and I have a Ph.D. in Psychotherapy. My experience is in Private Practice, but over the years I have provided a range of counselling services in Industry and Commerce, in the Prison Service, in Colleges and Universities, in the NHS and in the Church. To add to this, I am a Senior BACP Accredited Psychotherapist (British Asociation for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and a Member of the U.K. Register of Counsellors.

My GroupWork is endorsed by the Group-Analytic Society, London, of which I am a Registered Practiitioner, and my work in organisations is supported by the Institute of Management Specialists, of which I am a Fellow. My work as a trainer in counselling, psychotherapy and supervision, is supported by the Association for University and College Counselling.

Clients who come for counselling bring with them a variety of problems that cause them distress. My training, and the depth of my life-experience, brings richness to the therapeutic relationship that enables clients to explore their story and come to a new and better understanding of who they are and what they bring to counselling. From this they come to identifying manageable objectives and clients achieve their goals through the therapeutic process; keeping faith with the idea that I treat people first and problems second.

The issues that clients present include sexual abuse and addictions; bereavement, loss and depression; anxiety, fear and phobias; anger and relationship problems; stress in the workplace and critical incident trauma to psychiatric disorders.
