Harriet Elsom Counselling

Quite often, people will come to therapy longing for change, or in a time of grief or crisis they simply cannot manage alone. I create a sensitive, and reflective space to attend to what needs to be known and felt, whatever that may be. You might find relief, come to know yourself more deeply, and in time find ways to live more fully and freely.

Much will come through talk, finding ways to put words to feelings that haven’t yet been named, piecing together your story and understanding how the past may be influencing your present.

I may draw attention to what is happening in the room between us as this can surface things to do with relationships that you may not easily see in day to day life.

The body is also very important. Our bodies hold and communicate much that can’t be said with words and the body’s wisdom is often out of awareness, so we pay attention to this in the work.

We might also look to dreams, and the imagination to reveal what is not yet known (unconscious) and to help to see things differently.
