At A J Whitaker Counselling & Psychotherapy, I offer a range of services tailored to meet your unique needs and provide you with the support you deserve. Whether you're seeking individual counselling or clinical supervision as a therapist, you'll find a safe and empathetic space to explore your challenges and discover new paths to healing and personal growth.
Our journey together begins with an initial consultation, a valuable opportunity for us to connect and determine how we can best work together.
During this free 20-minute conversation, we can explore your concerns, expectations, and goals. It's a chance for you to get to know me and feel comfortable with the therapeutic relationship we'll develop.
My individual counselling and psychotherapy services provide you with a confidential, non-judgmental space to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're grappling with communication issues, low mood, the menopause, work-related stress, or trauma, our sessions are tailored to address your specific needs. Together, we'll delve deep into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering fresh perspectives, greater self-awareness, and effective strategies to manage your emotions. With over 15 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and relational theory, which emphasises the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in creating a collaborative and supportive environment where you can openly explore your anxieties, uncertainties, and experiences without fear of judgement.
My goal is to empower you to recognize that the answers you seek already reside within you. Together, we'll work toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and a more fulfilling life.
Are you looking for a supervisor to challenge and support you in your work? Helping you to explore what may be perceived as mistakes or gaining understanding of the hazy areas just outside our awareness can bring a richness and greater understanding to your work with clients. My aim is to provide you with a safe and secure opportunity to talk, explore and be challenged, and to learn without fear of being judged or misunderstood.
By building a trusting relationship with you, I hope, you will feel safe to bring your anxieties, uncertainties and tribulations and embarrassing moments to supervision. Encouraging your critical thinking and exploring rational for your work we can work collaboratively to help you grow as a therapist.
We each have a different career path and with over 15 years’ experience as a therapist I am bringing to the supervision relationship a wealth of knowledge from working within NHS, third sector / charity, private practice and in the last 8 years working with the blue light community and all that these roles encounter. This enables me to bring an understanding of the complexity of your clients to aid you in navigating your way through.
Humanistic / Relational theory underpins my work with a variety of CPD supplementing and expanding on this base knowledge. Whether new to this field of work or experienced, there is always an opportunity to evolve and grow as a therapist. Collaborative, supportive supervision can facilitate change and is vital in providing clients with continued quality therapeutic interventions.
If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth, I invite you to explore the services I offer and reach out to begin our therapeutic journey together.
