Welcome – I’m Rebecca Noorian, an experienced, qualified psychodynamic counsellor and therapist based in St Albans Hertfordshire.
I am not about offering quick fixes or surface solutions. I don’t believe there is a one size fits all solution to the complexity of living a life. Life is more complex that this and so are we. I think for many of the challenges we face throughout our lives something deeper is needed for lasting internal change.
‘We don’t solve our problems, we grow bigger than them.’ (Carl Jung)
What I will do is to take the time to understand you, your life experiences, your difficulties and your hopes.
You might come and see me being very clear what the issues are and you need a space to talk things through. Or you might not be exactly sure what is going on but what you do know is that you are worn down from holding everything together alone or you can’t relax your busy mind from your worries. Wherever you are, that is where we will begin. You do not need to have things figured out because together we can work it out.
My Background and Experience
I have nearly a decade of experience working with clients facing many different emotional challenges.
In addition to my private practice I work part time as a Clinical Manager at The Counselling Foundation in St Albans and Luton where I support students training to become counsellors. I also provide short term counselling to police officers and police staff. Prior to this I provided counselling for the NHS and a number of organisations supporting people facing bereavement and domestic abuse.
Before training as a psychodynamic therapist, I worked for many years in a high pressure role in the public sector in London. I worked with people from many different backgrounds and life circustances. I bring this experience into the work I do today.
