Will Adolphy:
Integrative Counsellor & Coach (BACP)
Hi, I’m Will Adolphy, a qualified Counsellor and coach.
I’ve been supporting people and their mental health for the last 7 years. I started in schools supporting students and then I trained to be a therapist.
I see therapy as a springboard for deep transformation and spiritual growth. I was drawn to coaching as well because whilst talking is an essential part of the therapy process, I realised there will be no changes without action.
This is something I learned in my own personal journey towards wholeness. The action I took caused a huge ‘shift’ in how I was experiencing life. Knowing that it was possible to change ingrained patterns I felt invigorated to help others do the same.
My approach includes taking as much time as we need in ‘cleaning-up’ the past and eventually new patterns will start to emerge. And when this new path is unravelling, I am equipped to support you with my coaching qualification.
I’m drawn to the ‘bottom-up’ approaches like mindfulness and breath work. These approaches help us to step out of our rational minds and into our bodies.
‘There is no healing without feeling’ – a saying that rings very true to me.
The benefits of therapy:
You’ll have a space that you can show up to each week to check in and lean into whatever is coming up for you. This can unblock trapped energies, cause shifts in perspectives, and deepen your self-awareness.
The mindfulness helps us to learn the art of observing our experience without being so entrenched into the feelings. Developing this muscle of observation fosters resilience and allows feelings to be felt and pass through you. As they say:
“Therapy isn’t about feeling better, it’s about getting better at feeling.”
The part’s work will support you in exploring the various facets of your personality and can radically shift how you talk and relate to yourself. As we welcome each part of you to the space a more compassionate understanding of yourself can emerge.
I also use breathwork [if appropriate] and encourage an awareness of the breath to regulate and deepen our capacity to feel our feelings.
Ultimately my aim is to co-create a space with you where we can get you into the driving seat of your own life. From this seat, you will be evolving, rather than revolving. You will be living, rather than surviving.
I specialise in holding space for healing in these areas:
- Anxiety [in all forms], panic attacks, obsessive thinking
- Depression, lowness, stuckness
- Trauma, addiction [including love, porn, codependency]
- Intimacy, relationships with self & others
- Low self-esteem, self-worth, feeling unease inside
- AD(H)D, overstimulation [social media & smartphone usage]
- Emptiness, life lacking any meaning
- Goal setting, motivation
*12-step informed therapist (codependency, love addiction, romantic obsession, porn, attachment trauma)
