Yvonne Forward Therapy

Yvonne Forward Therapy Psychotherapy and counselling I am a fully qualified attachment-based psychotherapist and counsellor with over 15 years experience working from N8 and N5.

To start with, I offer a free introductory session for you to decide if this therapy is for you and if you would like to work with me. I provide a safe space for both individuals and couples to gain a better understanding of their own behaviour and the feelings that motivate them - a chance to reflect on exactly where you are and the choices you are making, a time to feel really listened to, understood and accepted. I can help to you if you are finding it hard to recover from trauma and experiences from your past, recurrent difficulties (such as relationship problems, depression, addictions, working life, anxieties) and also to overcome certain patterns in your life. Whatever brings you to therapy, I work in a warm, open and honest way with a human approach and will offer you a confidential space to explore, identify and resolve your issues - seeking to establish a supportive and non judgemental relationship. In time, together we can explore ways of making your life more fulfilling - learning to be kinder and more accepting of yourself. I will support you in this journey by enabling you to feel less overwhelmed, gain a deeper understanding of yourself & your relationships so that you can feel more empowered to make positive, life enhancing changes.

If you are looking to change something about yourself then perhaps this quote will resonate with you....

"It is not possible to change something about ourselves by trying to be different. We change when we become aware of what we are as opposed to trying to become what we are not".

Beisser (1970)

"When I am at my best, as group facilitator or therapist, I discover another characteristic. I find that when I am closer to my inner, intuitive self, when I am somehow in touch with the unknown in me, when perhaps I am in a slightly altered state of consciousness, then whatever I do seems to be full of healing…It seems that my inner spirit has reached out and touched the inner spirit of the other. Our relationship transcends itself and becomes part of something larger…Profound growth and healing and energy are present". Carl Rogers

Love this so much as a way of describing a key element of the benefit of Psychotherapy but also what we look for in life:

"When we feel recognised by another person, and are able to recognise them in turn, contact between minds can be pleasurable, creative, playful, and im- provisatory—and such experiences are formative and sustaining of the self. When the other refuses, or is unable, to recognise us, and insists upon their own version of experience to the exclusion of ours, we experience negation, in the face of which we can either submit to coercion or try to subjugate the other and force them to see things our way.

Where two people (for example therapist and client) are mutually able to recognise the other’s separate experience, even if that experience is in conflict with their own, without needing to negate either their own ex-perience or that of the other person, they are able to achieve intersubjectivity, a “meeting of minds”. The capacity for intersubjectivity is a developmental achievement that depends upon a facilitating relational environment, whether in families, societies, therapy, or supervision". Judy Yellin, Attachment Based Psychotherapist & Supervisor.
