ENDERBY PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELLING ASSOCIATES
Welcome to the website of Enderby Psychotherapy and Counselling Associates. The practice consists of two therapists, Jane Read and Ray Little, both practitioners each have over forty years experience and both Jane and Ray are registered members of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). This means they meet the exacting standards and training requirements for psychotherapists, which are the conditions of becoming a member of the UKCP.
Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy involves a confidential talking and collaborative processes between the client and therapist. The overall aim is for the individual to have an opportunity to explore their experience, their feelings, thoughts and behaviours with the therapist to enable them to gain understanding and insight, and manage their lives more effectively and satisfactorily.
People considering seeking therapy often feel unhappy, or stuck in situations and behavioural patterns that they do not fully understand. Psychotherapy can help those people who are suffering from emotional distress and personal difficulties, or mental health issues, who wish to accomplish understanding, insight and change in their lives. If you attend Enderby Associates for psychotherapy you will have the opportunity to talk further about what it is that is troubling you. The therapist will listen, without making judgements and will endeavour to help you make sense of your experience, thoughts and emotions. The therapist will help you recognise patterns, discover meanings and where appropriate explore options. We work with individuals of differing genders, sexualities, cultures and ethnicities. We are committed to ethical, non-discriminatory practice. We endeavour to make our services accessable to all. However, we do not have wheelchair access.
At Enderby Associates the therapists work with a variety of issues and problems that people experience and these may include;
- depression, sadness and emptiness,
- anxiety and difficulties with coping,
- feelings of fear and panic,
- difficulties expressing and/or managing anger,
- unhelpful repetitive patterns and difficulty in making and sustaining satisfactory relationships,
- the consequences of being an adult survivor of childhood trauma &/or abuse,
- traumatic events, current and past, including physical, emotional or sexual abuse,
- suffering Complex Trauma and PTSD,
- working with self-harming issues,
- sexualities and gender identity issues,
- or just wanting to talk over life's difficulties and struggles.
These problems may be as a result of day-to-day stresses of living, or as a result of specific events in life, either current or that have occurred in the past.
