​​Treena’s Areas of Special Interest

Working together with a trained therapist provides the opportunity to work through recurring problems in relationships, gain new skills for handling problems such as work or relationship related stress, explore alternative possibilities and develop the self-awareness and self-esteem necessary to achieve the much desired changes in an individual’s life. Treena's special interests include:
  • Depression and emotional difficulties including PND
  • Adjustment issues-related to ill health, injury, critical incidents and stressful life events
  • Life and developmental transitions- study, career, marriage, separation, birth of a baby
  • Bereavement, Grief and Loss –including, early infant and preterm loss
  • Trauma recovery 
  • Conception related difficulties, choices and infertility issues
  • Intimacy and Relationship issues - recurring and problematic patterns of difficulty in relating to others - parenting issues, work and friendship problems
  • Stress, anxiety and panic
  • Concerns regarding identity, sexual identity, body image and sense of self

A personalised approach to counselling therapy

Undertaking psychological therapy involves spending some time to:
  • Discuss and assess your concerns 
  • Clarify your hopes and goals for participating in therapy 
  • Discuss together the most helpful way to proceed
A series of regular appointments are then scheduled to proceed with the therapy, which require a capacity and interest to discuss experiences in depth with a view to understanding them better. 

The therapy journey is one of exploration and discovery, where issues that arise from one session to the next can be explored and discussed. 

Engaging in therapy can be both reassuring and challenging- exploring both sides of the coin is an important part of the process.
