An Open Door Counselling

An Open Door Counselling provides counselling and psychotherapy services for people who are feeling lost or stuck in their lives. Gabrielle Asprey specialises in supporting people who have been affected by cancer, whether they be patients, survivors, carers or those who are bereaved. She is also available to work with people who have experienced trauma in their lives.

Gabrielle works from a person-centred perspective, utilising various therapeutic interventions, depending on the client's needs.

Of utmost importance is creating a trusting therapeutic relationship between the client and counsellor. Gabrielle takes a person-centered therapeutic approach, where you, the client, are seen as a person, rather than as a problem or a list of symptoms. She provides a non-judgmental, safe and confidential space for you to openly discuss your concerns and worries. Together you will identify different ways to think about a problem, better ways to cope, identify tangible strategies to try, or simply be heard and understood.

Gabrielle understands the impact of anxiety, feelings of depression, uncertainty and the deep feeling of loneliness which comes with loss. When you experience the loss of a loved one, whether it be person or pet, she can be there with compassion, and can give you the space to mourn the loss.

During many years working with cancer patients, survivors and carers, Gabrielle has helped her clients understand the impact of a cancer diagnosis. Clients may find it difficult to cope with the shock of diagnosis, they may experience a loss of control or may want to regain a sense of safety and hope.
