Amanda Poyner Counselling

Personal Growth and Understanding: Working through life's challenges.

We are all unique and we are all here experiencing life and it's challenges. There are times when these challenges can become overwhelming or confusing. It is times like these when someone to help process it with us, is invaluable.

About Me:

I offer Counselling in Somerset. My training and professional experience has been in Holistic Massage, Energy Healing and in Person Centered Counselling, integrating various theoretical models.

In my practice, I have come to lean in a Jungian direction, working with imagery, dream material and a profound respect for the unconscious in us that 'knows'.

I have worked in the therapeutic field for 23 years and during this time have explored my own inner world. I draw on many levels of my own experience as a person and my training in a way that can faciliate a deeper exploration of life, both from a mundane perspective as well as metaphysical and spiritual; a transpersonal holistic approach.

I know that I am not the 'expert' and that you are the one who 'knows' the challenges you face and that somewhere in this knowing lies the answers to your questions. I work in collaboration with you to help unlock that knowing and to distinguish it from the general noise of life. We will work towards this in a space that is focused on that goal, and on creating meaningful and lasting change.

In what context /when can Counselling help?

- Relationships
- Major changes in life
- Childhood trauma
- Abuse and trauma
- Addictions
- Depression
- Anxiety

All these underlying issues can and often do trigger physical reactions in the body. Talking through these issues can begin the process towards healing them, along with body work such as meditation, massage, yoga and working with dream material.

How Much and How Often?

Sessions usually occur weekly at an agreed time, to fit in with life and work needs. it is sometimes desirable to work more of less often and there is some flexibility in place to reflect and allow for this.

Counselling sessions can vary between one hour, to one and a half hours' duration. Timing and frequency are agreed during the first session, but can be re-negociated at any point throughout the process.

Costs:

One hour sessions - 40. 00
One and a half hour sessions - 55. 00

Note - The first session is free. This session is in place to see whether Counselling is the right thing for you, at this time. it is a time to assess appropriate needs and to discern the way ahead.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for sessions availibility. I am currently taking on new clients.
