Brian Wagenbach
I offer individual therapy in a compassionate, supportive and confidential space. We will work together, in partnership, to explore the issues and goals that you have in therapy.
Experience
Since I started practicing, I have worked with men and women, supporting them with a range of issues, including family and relationship problems, loss, bereavement, anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts, guilt, shame, low self-esteem, building confidence and dealing with change.
I have experience of working with people from minority ethnic backgrounds and supporting men in same sex relationships.
I am experienced in working with clients both in person and online and I am certified in online and telephone counselling.
Approach
As a Gestalt trained counsellor, my approach is holistic, this means I see you as a whole person who has thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and perceptions and I will support you to become more aware of your own ‘process’ – how you respond to people and situations with a focus on your immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
As we work together, I will share the things I notice with you, supporting your own awareness about how you feel and relate to the work we do and the people in your life. We will explore these different situations; we will look into what is present for you and what may be missing in order to cope, move on and have a more fulfilling life.
For many people therapy helps them to develop a greater understanding of themselves and to form new perspectives. It enables you to improve relationships with others; and yourself; and it can help you to express yourself.
I want to work with you to help you find the answers you seek and live a life that brings you greater happiness.
