Counselling
Lucy Sumner Integrative Counsellor, Appleton, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 5RR.
Working online & by phone. Supporting clients going through TFMR, infertility, baby loss and miscarriage.
A blend of different therapies...
Do you feel you need to be in a better place to address the challenges of fertility treatment, are you trying to navigate the feelings of baby loss, miscarriage or TFMR? I’m here to support you. I have 7 years experience of providing integrative therapy to clients nationally and internationally and I have personal and professional experience of the complex feelings, the physicality of baby loss, infertility, miscarriage and TFMR. Using talking therapy, you will find empathy, understanding and a safe space to let your thoughts out, without judgement from me, to process what you are or have been going through. If you decide you want to look at coping skills and prepare to face the challenges ahead, exploring anxieties then we will look to use CBT techniques. Maybe past experiences are influencing current behaviours? This is something we can look at through the psychodynamic therapy model.
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is an approach to therapy that combines techniques and interventions from different modalities of therapy so that it is specific to the needs of each client. Rather than adhering to one strand of theory, I draw on multiple schools of thought and evidence based practices, to create tailored sessions that use elements of various approaches.
The modalities in my integrative approach may include:
Talking therapy (person centred counselling)
Lets you tell your story at your pace, I will listen, explore, support and guide you in a non judgemental and empathetic way.
CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)
Identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours, and providing coping mechanisms to help promote positive thoughts.
Psychodynamic therapy
Looks at your unconscious thoughts, feelings, and past experiences to gain insight on current patterns of behaviour.
Everyone is different and has had different experiences, so in that respect, counselling can be short or long term, over several months or years, and we will review progress as we go along. These are your sessions it’s up to you what you bring to them.
Integrative therapy for baby loss , miscarriage and TFMR
Going through babyloss and miscarriage is incredibly distressing, and grief can be all consuming. It can really impact a person’s self worth and purpose in life.
My role is to provide you with that time and space to talk about your experiences and to explore what brings you to counselling.
Integrative therapy for infertility
Trying to conceive a baby can be a rollercoaster of a journey, when things don’t go as you’d hoped. It can leave you feeling disappointed, stuck and lost.
With integrative therapy we will use talking therapy and look at coping skills – for the challenges infertility brings. We may also look at the next steps in your fertility journey.
