Shirley Hicks

Professional Title: Counsellor and Somatic Psychotherapist

We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. Let me be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to support the most important person in your life – YOU.

If you’ve had a challenging start to life you may find relationships and the demand for intimacy and trust really challenging and so sometimes our work could involve learning how to have safe and effective boundaries as well as developing communication skills to empower you to get your needs met.

Discover how you can deal with the stresses and anxiety of life

Obtain relief from the worry and upset that you feel in your life
Learn how to flow with your life rather than feel that you’re being controlled by life
Be willing to let go of hurts and upsets that no longer support you
Develop an expansive attitude to life and allow all that you truly want to enter your life
Discover how your physical health is intimately involved with how you’re feeling and thinking

During sessions, I draw on a range of approaches, based on consultation with YOU, as to what feels OK. I also embrace the five key principles of Trauma Informed Care. These are Safety, Trustworthiness, Collaboration, Choice and Empowerment. So in our work together these key principles inform and support all the work we do.
