Counselling Psychotherapist based in Hove, East Sussex
At times we can all go through periods of our lives when we find being a human being challenging which can leave us feeling really drained, and doubting ourselves.
Whether it be in a relationship, at work, a choice we have to make, expectations that we have to look, dress or act a certain way to fit in and to feel accepted. Maybe talking to a therapist might enable you to challenge the barriers blocking you from achieving your goals?
Whether you have a specific concern that you would like to work on or a more complex problem that requires a more in-depth exploration into your behaviours, feelings, and thoughts; I feel it is really important to offer my clients a safe space in which we work collaboratively. This enables you to explore your difficulties that are causing you to feel blocked or stuck in the here and now. For example : Covid 19 anxiety, relationship issues, sexual identification, body dysmorphic disorder, LGBT issues, Eating disorders, stresses at work, bi-polar, specific anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, anger, sexual abuse, loss, grief, phobias and drugs or alcohol worries, You're not alone - all of us can at times feel quite lost, confused and isolated which can feel debilitating and scary.
My name is Zee Finch, I am a fully qualified Person-Centred counsellor / psychotherapist, experienced in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) and Mindfulness Based Approach.
Here is an brief outline to give you an idea about each approach :
Person Centred:
Person-Centred approach is based on the theory and philosophy of Carl Rogers.
It is a non-directive approach to being with another; that believes in the others potential and ability to make the right choices for him or her self, regardless of the therapist's own values, beliefs and ideas.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
CBT cannot remove your problems as they were experiences that happened, but it can help you deal with them in a more positive way. It is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical response and behaviours are linked, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a repetitive cycle.
CBT aims to help you change this cycle by breaking down an overwhelming problems into smaller parts, and this can enable you to see how to change the negative patterns to improve the way you feel.
Mindfulness Based Approach:
Mindfulness Based Approaches are designed to deliberately focus one’s attention on the present experience in a way that is non-judgmental. Mindfulness has its roots in Eastern techniques, in particular Buddhist meditation.
I work as an individual Practitioner as well as being part of a Practice in Hove, East Sussex, easily accessible from Hove and Brighton.
Due to the current Covid pandemic I have been working remotely using screen ( teams / Zoom) if you feel uncomfortable with the idea of face to face I am happy to offer the sessions via a screen.
As a counsellor and psychotherapist I work with adults, adolescence and couples on a 1-1 basis offering sessions as either open-ended or for a specific time period. We would work together collaboratively on the goal or goals you have bought into therapy.
At times during therapy other issues come to the surface, if at the time or at a later date you wish to explore these concerns I would be happy to continue to work with you.
I also work as a counselling psychotherapist at Elysium in Hove near Brighton, where I offer individual 1-1 therapy as well facilitating group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT). I offer a relaxed and non-judgemental empathic space in which to explore your feelings and goals confidentially. Depending on the individual persons needs I facilitate from either Person-Centred or a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) modality or a combination of both approaches. This helps to provide the foundations for you uniquely to explore what has brought you into therapy.
