Helen Crooks
Person-Centred Counsellor.
I am a UKCP registered Gestalt psychotherapist with a background in teaching and Advice work. I have also trained in EMDR and in various Energy psychotherapy methods and have been astonished by the power and gentleness of these new methods which combine modern psychotherapy with ancient knowledge of the ways in which energy operates within the body.
If you are unhappy, overwhelmed or stuck, then looking for help is a step in the right direction. In a caring, sympathetic and confidential environment you will be able to talk openly in a way that is not always possible with friends or family. I am a UKCP registered counsellor and psychotherapist with extensive experience working with individuals and couples.
Thinking about starting counselling and finding the counsellor who is right for you can seem a daunting task. Perhaps there are changes you want to make in your life - there may be something that isn't working as well as you would like and you want to understand why. Perhaps you are worried about finding someone who can offer you an environment where you feel comfortable enough to explore your personal issues.
Please note that I will not be taking on any new clients until 1st September 2015. Welcome to Andersson Counselling services. My name is Kajsa Andersson and I am a practising counsellor based in Freeland and Witney in West Oxfordshire. I am accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherpy (BACP) and I am bound by its ethical framework of good practice. I support my clients through current and past issues in a non-judgemental and respectful way.
Most of us experience depression, anxiety or stress at some stage of our lives, sometimes as a result of things that have happened, or in a general way that can't clearly be understood. In both instances, we need to take note of what we are experiencing and come to terms with the resulting pain, disappointment and confusion that can often arise.
As a counselling psychologist, I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches and tailor therapy to suit your needs. Whatever may be troubling you, I would look to provide a warm, considered and respectful reply. After reading about the services I offer, should you wish to go ahead please do call or email me and we can arrange an initial meeting. Sessions are either in the centre of Oxford or the centre of Wantage, so do let me know which is more convenient for you.
In order to become a Psychotherapeutic and Counselling Psychologist, I studied initially for three years at undergraduate level in Psychology and then completed a four year doctoral training course at the University of Surrey. I work in a way that combines three different therapeutic approaches - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Humanistic/Person-Centred Therapy. Please see the About My Service page for an explanation of these terms.
When the mind suffers, the body cries out. It is our unresolved emotional issues, fears and difficulties of life which are the ones that lead eventually to the medical problems. I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. I also use a variety of methods including Solution Focused and Gestalt techniques, Person-centred therapy and Psychodynamic approach. Because each client is unique, my approach is tailored to fit each person's individual needs. In 2004 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Psychology.
There are many reasons people come to therapy and it may not be for a major life crisis. It may be that they are just struggling a little and a few individual sessions or coaching sessions is all that they need to give clarity and help them move forward.
I have over 20 years personal development experience working with a variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds, seeking help for a great range of issues and problems. In that time I have earned the reputation of being able to provide an atmosphere of safety, respect and optimism for the capacity to overcome difficulties. In the process, my clients develop an increased sense of satisfaction and effective control over their lives.
