ABOUT ME

   Hi, I'm Margaret Hall

As a qualified Counsellor, my foundation is Person-Centered, which is based on Carl Rogers’ theories of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness.

With Life Coaching clients I base my work on the New Insights coaching programme, which is a tried and tested method based on many years of research about help people succeed and reach their goals.

I qualified in Clinical Hypnosis with the Psychotherapy and Hypnosis Training Association in 1997.  Also in 1997 I gained a Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), having trained with its co-creator Richard Bandler, Hypnotist Paul McKenna and business trainer, Michael Breen.

I hold both a City and Guilds 730 Further and Adult Education Training Certificate and a Certificate in Education (Post-Compulsory) and have facilitated groups at Stockport MIND since 2002.

I have been interested in and studied psychology for many years, and have developed an in-depth knowledge of mental health issues.

I am passionate about empowering people to make the changes they choose in their lives, and love watching people grow and develop.

In my personal life I love painting, the countryside, gardening and my cats; Squealer and Spider.

My qualifications include:

Certificate in Personal Coaching

Certificate in Education (Post-Compulsory)

Certificate in Health and Social Care

Diploma in Person-Centered Counselling

Diploma in Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnosis

Further and Adult Education Teaching Certificate (FAETC—C&G730)

COUNSELLING

WHAT IS COUNSELLING?

 

Counselling will assist you to explore and resolve difficulties you may be experiencing, clarify conflicting issues and help you discover alternative ways of managing yourself or the situation, so that you can decide what course of action or behaviour is helpful to you. Essentially Counselling will help you to help yourself.

Person-Centred Counselling is based on the tradition of Carl Rogers, within which the client is always the centre of attention, and treated non-judgementally with genuine respect and positive regard.

What are talking therapies and could they help me?

Talking therapies involve talking and listening. Most of us want somebody to talk to, who listens and accepts us, especially when we are going through a bad time. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a stranger than to relatives or friends. Some therapists will aim to find the root cause of you problem and help you deal with this, some will help you change your behaviour or negative thoughts, while others simply aim to support you.

Therapists are trained to listen attentively and to help you find your own answers, without judging you. People go for talking therapies for a whole range of reasons. It may be that somebody has died or left, or that you have become depressed or isolated. You may be unable to sleep, or are having panic attacks. Perhaps you have had a psychiatric diagnosis and are already having treatment. Or you may be simply trying to understand yourself better. Talking therapies do not offer magic solutions, it can be hard work and progress can be slow or painful. It may not be the right time for you to talk, or talking about things may make you feel worse at first. What you feel able to cope with is the most important thing, and this can change over time. More research with service users is needed in order to understand which talking therapies people find helpful and why.

Who are talking therapies for? Talking therapies are for all sorts of people. They can help if you are working class or middle class, old or young, heterosexual, gay or lesbian, black or white or from an ethnic minority community. They may also help if you are on medication, or have had a ‘psychotic’ diagnosis, such as schizophrenia or manic depression. You can ask your GP for talking therapy regardless of any diagnosis you have been given or any medication you are on. Most therapists will be happy to work with you while you are taking medication. There is no reason why medication and talking therapy should not be used together. Some research has found that a combination of drugs and therapy works better then either on its own. In an ideal world, all mental health service users should be offered some form of talking therapy, or simply the opportunity to talk to someone, as a main part of their treatment. You should be given the option of talking therapy regardless of you diagnosis or your age, sex, social class or ethnic group.

People with complex and long term mental health problems, and those whose troubles may appear less severe, have an equal need to talk. There is a stigma around talking therapy, and some people feel it is a sing of weakness to go for this type of help. Seeing a therapist doesn’t mean you are self-indulgent or going mad; don’t let these sort of prejudices stop you trying it. It can take strength to be prepared to look at yourself and your situation.

Talking Therapies: Different Approaches There are a number of different sorts of talking therapy. The most common are counselling, cognitive-behaviour therapy and psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy, but there are many others. Qualified professionals in the NHS who provide talking therapies include psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and psychotherapists. Social workers and nurses may also offer them. The following section describes the main types of talking therapies used in the NHS, and includes research evidence on specific problems they can help. If a particularly therapy has been found to work for your problem, it is worth trying that approach first, but bear in mind that there rare gaps in the research. A particular therapy might work for you even f there is not evidence yet, to back it up. What seems to matter most is your relationship with the therapists; if you feel you can trust and work well with them, it is more likely to help you.

Counselling Counselling helps you to look at problems you are facing now. It may focus on a specific problem like bereavement or post-natal depression or on a decision, crisis or conflict. You are encouraged to talk about the feelings you have about yourself and your situation, and the counsellor helps you find ways to tackle them. Counselling is usually short or medium term. Longer term counselling may go deeper and be more like psychotherapy. What is it for? Counselling can help both ordinary problems of living and life crises. It can help you stay well and prevent mental health problems. There is evidence that counselling can help people who are adjusting to life events such as bereavement, post-natal depression, illness, disability or loss. Users say supportive counselling can help you through a difficult time, and it can help you become aware of and guard against too much stress in your life. MARGARET HALL HOLDS A DIPLOMA IN PERSON-CENTRED COUNSELLING.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) aims to help people change patterns of thinking or behaviour that are causing problems. Changing how you think and behave also changes how you feel. It is a structure approach – you agree goals for treatment with your therapist and try things out between sessions. Cognitive behaviour therapy sessions are usually weekly, and last an hour. An average number of sessions is 1-15. What is it for? More research has been done on cognitive behaviour therapy than on other therapies and it has been show to work for a variety of mental health problems. This evidence doesn’t mean it is better than other therapies, but simply that others have not been studied so closely. In particular, it can help depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder and some eating disorder, especially bulimia. Some studies have shown it can help long term fatigue or pain. It may also help schizophrenia, other psychoses and manic depressive illness . MARGARET HALL HAS TAKEN MANY SHORT COURSES RELATING TO COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIOURAL THERAPIES AND USES THESE TOOLS TO HELP CLIENTS MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES.

Psychoanalytical and psychodynamic therapies These involve a therapist listening to your experiences, exploring connections between present feelings and actions and past events. It aims to help you understand more about yourself and your relationships. Therapists have different approaches and different styles of working – some may seem detached and analytical while others seem friendly and supportive. Some will take the lead with questions, while others will follow your train of through. Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy may often continue for a year of more, but can sometimes be short term. It is usually one-to-one, but sometimes psychotherapy groups are available where a therapist aims to help groups members understand themselves and others better. NHS psychotherapists normally work in a hospital or clinic where you will see them as an outpatient. Private psychotherapists often work from home. What is it for? Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy can help people get to know themselves better, improve their relationships and get more out of life. It can be especially useful in helping people with long term or recurring problems get to the root of their difficulties. However, some people, for example, those who feel vulnerable or who are experiencing psychosis, can find psychotherapy unhelpful or distressing. There has been less research on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, but there is some evidence that it can help depression and some eating disorders. MARGARET HALL IS NOT QUALIFIED IN PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPIES AND IS UNABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE.

Conclusion: Do talking therapies work? You may find big changes have taken place in the way you think and behave as a result of talking therapies. You may understand yourself better or you may feel more able to deal with difficult times. Or, you might be disappointed, perhaps even feeling worse than before. Talking therapies are more likely to work if you feel comfortable and at ease with your counsellor, psychotherapist or group leader. So, finding the right person for you is as important as finding the right type of therapy. Users of talking therapies say that over and above just talking, they need to feel listened to, accepted and understood by their therapist. Felling safe and believed is also important. Many people say that talking therapies do not make their problems go away, but that they feel better able to cope with them. The Department of Health’s booklet ‘Choosing Talking Therapies?’ also gives detailed information about what you can expect from your therapist, the risks of talking therapies and what to do if you have concerns.
