There are times when we experience life as an enormous battle. You may be wanting to understand yourself a little more, or just needing a space to talk and be listened to. Whatever is going on for you, I can perhaps help.
I am an Integrative and Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Psychotherapist. It’s a real mouthful isn’t it, but this modality offers me a wide range of tools and ideas to enable you to understand what is happening and why, and together, we can look for ways to make changes and move forward. I believe that human beings need relationships in order to heal, recover and grow, and so Zoe’s Therapy Den is founded on us creating a therapeutic relationship which provides a safe, warm, nurturing space with which you can tell your story on your terms and feel heard, understood and empowered.
I have experience of working with people with anxiety, depression, victims of narcissistic abuse, bereavement, childhood trauma, complex PTSD, personality disorders and more.
I understand how daunting it can be to choose the right therapist for you, I have also been in that chair as a client many times over the years when I myself have found life to be a bit of a struggle.. It is incredibly important that you feel totally at ease and comfortable with whomever you choose to let into your own private world. Therefore, I invite you to reach out to arrange a free 30-minute conversation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.
After a string of bereavements, I first accessed my own therapy journey at the age of 16. I have dipped in and out of the therapy room as a client since, but never thought I’d be sat in the other ‘seat’ as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. But I love what I do!
I feel it is a huge privilege to be invited into someone’s world and to be able to walk alongside them as they embark on whatever journey they are on. I offer warmth, empathy, nurturing, a dose of spirituality, and a sprinkling of humour. Yes, that's right, even humour, because I want to invite all of your different parts into our space together.
Outside of Zoe’s Therapy Den, I am a wife and a mother to 2 boys. I love socialising with friends and family, and watching sports such as football, the Formula 1 and tennis. I have a deep passion for travel (much to my husband’s despair!!!) and need no encouragement to chase new experiences and to experience new cultures.
Zoes Therapy Den is located at my home on the outskirts of Doncaster in South Yorkshire (DN9 postcode), where I have a dedicated therapeutic space which offers privacy and confidentiality. I am also able to offer sessions online or via telephone.
I offer 60 minute sessions at a frequency of your choosing, although this is typically weekly or fortnightly.
The fee for a 60 minute session is £60 payable by bank transfer.
Please reach me at zoeastherapyden@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Counselling is typically short term and focus' more on current issues. Counselling may help you cope with specific changes, help you develop coping strategies, help to process emotions in healthy ways or is even a way of connecting with different resources and services.
Psychotherapy is typically longer term and generally focus' on underlying issues. Psychotherapy may help you identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts and behaviours, it may uncover the root causes of your emotional difficulties, and it can enable insight into your processes and give you insight as to the 'why' you may think, feel or behave as you do.
The first step is to arrange a free 30 minute conversation either face to face, online or via telephone. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, to chat about what it is that may be troubling you and to air what your expectations and wants from therapy are.
If we are both in agreement about working with each other then I will send you some paperwork via email with details about when our sessions will be (this is mutually agreed), payment details, confidentiality etc and this will act as our therapeutic contract. We will also agree on a start date and see where the journey takes you.
Absolutely yes. I am bound by the ethical code of the UK Council for Psychotherapy. The only time confidentiality is broken is if there is a safeguarding concern and a risk of harm to your self or another. On this occasion I would always talk to you first as to my obligations and intentions.
All personal data is kept on a secure fingerprint protected lap top, I do write brief notes about our sessions, and you can ask to access these at any time.
If you wish to schedule a free 30 minute chat, a 60 minute session or simply ask any questions, please feel free to contact me via email, telephone, text message or WhatsApp.
