My name is Ian Shaw. I am a counsellor currently based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
I am also near Worksop, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Nottingham. I will consider and if possible negotiate for sessions in these areas as well. have been in practice for 12 years and did my Diploma and Degree at the University of Nottingham.
Being a Humanistic Person-Centred Counsellor I have not only trained in this approach but I believe in the person-centred way of being in life as well.
Any Questions? Contact me here
Counselling that values and provides acceptance for a person is an integral part of this theory and offers key core conditions for the relationship, these being Congruence- being genuine, open, unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding and a non-judgemental approach. I believe that everyone has the answer within themselves to resolve situations and problems that they are facing, no matter how difficult they might seem but through exploring the issues together with a shared value and belief the answers and strength from within can be found.
The time to get to know and understand your true needs can be a vital component of this shared experience. We often live our lives by a set of standards and values acquired both in the early years and as we progress through life that stops us from knowing what we really need to be happy and in the process we lose our way and our self-belief and value.
I have experience in supporting and helping people with:
- Anger and anger management issues
- Behaviour
- Bereavement and loss
- Bullying
- Depression
- Addictions
- Family break up
- Family relationships
- Partner relationships
- Peer relationships
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Self-harm
- Self-image
- Self-value
- Emotional wellbeing
- Trauma
- Sexual abuse
- Violence
My work with you aims to help your self-understanding and to find your valuable and unique self so we can explore together how to work through any obstacles which are preventing you from leading a happy and fulfilling life.
Hopefully, this website will give you an insight into counselling, therapy and support. This website has been designed primarily to give you an idea of what support is available, the methods and ideas I use but also other links and articles on therapy in general.
