...it can be really helpful to talk to someone you can trust who will listen without judging
|
I'm Angela and I'm a qualified and experienced BACP registered integrative counsellor. I combine a variety of therapy approaches to find the best way of working with the unique individual that you are and I believe that you have the capacity to heal and grow from life's hurts and get the life you love. Yes you!
Taking the first step can feel daunting at times, but I'm here to help. I have my own practice called Time4U2Talk for men and women of all ages and walks of life who are struggling to find someone reliable and trustworthy to talk to. My approach is warm and showing kindness is most important to me. For face to face counselling my pleasant therapy room is private and conveniently and discretely located in the beautiful and historic quarter of Hereford city centre, but I do have a limited number of online appointments too, so you can connect with me wherever you are. I'm also close to transport links, there's parking directly on street outside (payable) and several car parks nearby. I have daytime weekday appointments available and a few evening ones, albeit limited. |

ABOUT ME
ANGELA TOMASSO (FDA) MBACP
I believe in the existence and power of valuable resources inside and outside of ourselves that we can connect to when we are stuck in order to receive the help and guidance we need. It would be my delight to help you find them and connect to them, so that when counselling is concluded you have the capacity to draw from them yourself easily.
I also believe in the human condition, the knowing that every human is unique, has infinite worth, and is doing his or her best as they currently see it. Even you. Yes YOU! Above all I believe and know that you possess the ability to heal from your distress & become happier. No matter where you are, what's been done to you, - or by you - you are deserving of respectful understanding. My training was integrative, meaning I can combine the most effective tools and techniques I've found, from a host of modern forms of therapy to suit you, recognising that since each person is an individual, no one therapeutic style will fit everyone. I use strong elements of Transactional Analysis (TA) and Gestalt therapies. TA includes the theory of personality, of relationships and communication with oneself and others combined with the awareness that sometimes there are gaps in our knowledge and we deal with current situations using archaic coping strategies from childhood which no longer work in our adult lives. I hope to help you find new strategies and model ways of being, teaching skills that were perhaps not readily accessible in your care givers from childhood. My Gestalt techniques include two chair work to help you get conflicting elements of yourself out there and integrated - a process that can conclude painful 'unfinished business' from the past, and with support you can practise your new resources. Together we will work on having a better understanding of yourself and better relationships with others. COST OF SESSIONS IS £65 Together we can identify and explore new or under-used resources within you, that you never knew you had... |
