Counselling & Psychotherapy
Much Wenlock, Shropshire, TF13 6QX
My name is Graeme Long. I am a trained user of counselling skills with training in the Person-Centred approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer free face to face counselling from my home in Brockton, near Much Wenlock.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves facing problems where talking to even the most supportive friends or family just isn't enough. This is where counselling may help. As a professionally trained counsellor I can offer you the time and space to talk about whatever is troubling you, in a relaxed and supportive environment. Counselling is about a safe place for you to explore and express your issues, concerns and fears, whether these are past or present. It can often assist in the journey of self discovery, and so, my job as a qualified counsellor, is to enable you to recognise what it is you need in order to grow and reach your full potential.

What type of issues can counselling help with? Clients bring many issues to counselling, including the following: * Lack of confidence * Difficulties in sustaining relationships * Bereavement, grief and other losses * Physical illness * Difficulty in expressing feelings * Loneliness * Psycho-sexual problems * Depression * Stress at work * Anxiety * Lack of clear aims in life * Issues relating to abuse.

When trying to deal with these sorts of feelings or life events it can be distressing and frightening and can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed or out of control. Often we can deal with these difficulties and challenges on our own or with the help and support of friends and family. However, there are times when only counselling may help.

The Online Counsellor
Much Wenlock, Shropshire, TF13
Welcome to my Online Counselling Service. I hope that after exploring my website you will understand a little more about online counselling and how it works. There are many, varied reasons why we may all at some point in our lives benefit from the services of a counsellor. Online Counselling is an alternative way of accessing professional therapy for people who find it difficult to see a face to face counsellor and are happy using typed text. If you''re having problems with your husband, wife, lover, ex-lover, colleagues, friends, children, family, dating or social life or if you''re feeling depressed, bored, jealous, insecure, stuck or bullied, I offer a space for you to explore your problems at your own pace and in your own way where, together, we can find ways to help you resolve them. You may not think that counselling will work and that it''s a big step to take, but as many people discover, myself included, it''s an adventure that could change your life forever. My name is Graeme Long. I am a newly qualified Counsellor with a Diploma in Psychotherapy. During my life, I have worked in many varied settings with individuals and groups of all ages and from all backgrounds. Just like in face to face therapy, I will focus on you and your concerns and respond with some questions, observations, challenges and ideas to help you to reach a deeper understanding of yourself, find new ways of being you and become a stronger, braver and happier person. You don''t need to be a great writer, nor a technology expert, but you will need internet access and an email account and if we work using ''instant chat'', you''ll need a broadband connection. My Therapuetic Approach: My approach in the counselling relationship is integrative. This means that I integrate theories and practice from two types of therapy. One is Person-Centred and the other is Cognitive Behavioural. Below is a description of these two therapeutic approaches. Person-Centred: Person-Centred Counselling was developed by the American psychologist Carl Rogers between the 1940’s and 50’s. Carl Rogers realized that self directed change would follow from a client’s experience of a certain type of relationship. This relationship is characterised by genuineness, non-judgmental acceptance, caring and empathy. This theory was, and still is supported by significant amounts of research. Person-Centred counsellors believe that, “All individuals have within themselves the ability to guide their own lives in a manner that is both personally satisfying and socially constructive. In a particular type of helping relationship, we free the individuals to find their inner wisdom and confidence, and they will make increasingly healthier and more constructive choice.” (The Carl Rogers Reader, edited by H Kirschenbaum and V Henderson 1990) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): The basis of CBT is that what people think affects our emotional states, and our emotional states influences how we behave. During times of mental distress the way a person sees and judges themselves, and the things that happens to them, alters. Things tend to become extreme and unhelpful. This can worsen how the person feels and cause them to act in ways that keep their distress going. CBT practitioners, who come from many training backgrounds, aim to work jointly with the person to help them begin to identify and then change their extreme thinking and unhelpful behaviour. By doing this, the result is a significant improvement in how the person feels and lives their day-to-day life. Graeme Long Dip. Couns & Psych
