INTEGRATIVE THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING FOR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING.
Counselling is an ecounter between two people (you and counsellor). Counselling takes place in private, safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. Counselling focuses entirely on the individual, helping you to explore and talk through personal and emotional issues. Counselling can help to make sense of and clarify issues.
The work I do is closely monitored by a professional body of which I am a member, this body is known as the (The British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy- BACP). I work within the professional code of conduct and ethics of the above body. My work is also supervised to be sure that I am working safely and ethically with you the client.
As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw on different techniques, along with counselling skills enabling you to gently but surely look at and work through the various issues that brought you into counselling. whilst the above is so, I have a strong theoretical base, which is the Humanistic approach, this means that I recognise and belive that each one of us has inner resources which when tapped into and giving the right conditions, that is ( respect, positive regard and understanding), we can be the best we can and grow to our full potential. I will be aware of how you percecive yourself in the moment or due to trauma and will be respectful of this with due attention until the you get to where they need to be.
I will endeavour to create a safe and warm therapeutic space which allows you to be yourself without fear of judgement. Your dignity and autonomy will be respected at all times. You are the expert in your issues so we work as a team. To that end, my role is not to make decisions or cholces for you but to be beside you in your journey to help clarify things.
I worked with women suffering with domestic violence for two years between (2007 to 2009) as a volunteer counsellor at an agency called (Solace womens aid), this is a specialist agency that looks after this client group. I now have and run my own private counselling practice, this is on going.
The type of therapy I offer is (INTEGRATIVE). This approch allows me to use different techniques to work with you wherever you are in your journey. Some of us are able to engage in the talking therapy, others may find it difficult or too painful at such times. Drawing, writing, painting, colouring and breathing exercise might just help you to engage and communicate whatever you are experiencing at such painful moments. I will still endeavour to be present with you in that journey.
I offer one to one counselling sessions to women and young women experiencing domestic violence and I also work with women who have come out of this situation and are needing the therapeutic space that would help them to recover.
I also offer counselling via SKYPE, using skype video. Please visit me @ www.mootu.com/goldesoboyejo. The advantage of this is you will feel at ease talking to someone from the comfort of your own home, some one who probably does not have any connections with your local area.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I offer clinical assessment to be sure of my suitability in working with you and your issues, with a view to refferal if there's the need. Clinical assessment also helps you to find out if you are ready and able to engage in the counselling process. There's no charge for this initial consultation.

HOW YOU BENEFIT
When you start therapy, it's like you've started another relationship. Because of the positive conditions that's created in this therapeutic relationship,where you would be respected, listened to, rather than dictated to, you would be able to take what you've learnt from this relationship to all other external relationships.
You would learn tools or strategies that can help you to manage stress, and anxiety in a positive way. In this relationship, you would be valued as an individual and be accepted for who you are, therefore, you would learn to be accepting of yourself, you would also learn that as an individual, you have worth and so claim back your dignity in other relationships.
All the above improvement does not happen over night, this will be gradual, that being the case, confidence will begin to come. There will be congruence in this relationship, teaching you how to be genuine with yourself but not in a negative critical way.

SOLUTIONS
There are no quick fixes in counselling, there are no miracles in counselling, counselling does not solve problems in the absolute sense, and whilst I do not promise solutions to clients however, counselling can help you to clarify things in the mind, it can help you to understand feelings and emotions that you experience and can't make sense of, counselling can help you to make sense of the past and how it's impacting in the presen, and can improve mental health.
