FLUID PSYCHOTHERAPY

Recognising diversity and individuality in therapeutic support tailored for the fluidity of life

About Fluid Psychotherapy

We are all in our own lives unique, diverse, individual, and exist within an ever-changing world, which can be an outcome of where we have been and our lived experiences to date, where we are and the impact of the lives and people around us, or a future which may not always be clear. Life is its self a journey of many parts, often which we find ourselves needing support or space to understand and navigate.

Fluidity is about transition and movement through life, your life/our lives. Our mental health as well as our knowledge and understanding of ourselves is no different, it can change and shift, or we may wish to change its direction. Therapy can be a useful tool in offering us the opportunity, space and environment to share, be heard and move to a position of choice, control and empowerment.

Fluid Psychotherapy is there to provide therapeutic support by working alongside and in partnership with you as an individual or couple/diverse relationship group on the aspects of life which you wish to understand, explore and navigate to see change and transition for growth in your own mental health, wellness, or simply life itself and all its potential.

We are committed to recognising the uniqueness and individuality of your journey,  experiences,  challenges, hopes and desires in life and key to our ethos is seeking and supporting movement on this journey. In understanding that this journey will be different for you all, we work focusing on you as an individual whilst offering access to diverse and specialist therapy dedicated to specific needs and growth

Clint

Founder of Fluid Psychotherapy

Clinical Sexologist, Relationship Specialist & Psychotherapist

Having the opportunity to support and be alongside people while they may be facing some of the most challenging aspects of their life, that may be full of loss, fear and pain, is something that I feel dedicated as part of my life to support, as a therapist this is more than simply work, but is part of my life that I hope is felt as a benefit in yours.

My core Ethos is to work in an accepting, non-judgmental, dynamic, and inclusive manner, where we work in partnership to build a therapeutic relationship focused upon your whole experience as a human being.

To be with you alongside your journey, be that one of exploration and sharing, or one of recovery and moving to build a more positive future.

Phil

Associate Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor

As a person-centered therapist and a person, I come full of hope and anticipation whilst acknowledging the often-painful reality of people’s feelings and situations.

I do believe in the capacity for positive change in each of us and have experienced some beautiful moments as people amaze me with their courage to look within when ready.

About You

Often as therapists, we are asked questions such as, “Is therapy for me”? “Who accesses therapy & why”? “What does this mean for me or where I am”?

There is no single answer to the above or the many other questions you may have when thinking about starting therapy.

Individuals, couples, and groups access therapy for many different reasons, often it is a significant life-changing event or lived with experience that brings them to seek support and a space to explore and feel whole again.

For others, it can be as simple as a safe space to be heard or for sharing thoughts, but often it’s about self-discovery and navigating the impact of life, understanding choice, and exploring development.

Whatever your reasons and thoughts are, the very fact you are here reading this means you are making a strong, often courageous choice to take a step forward for yourself & your journey.

Fluid Psychotherapy does not exclude or discriminate based on sexuality, diversity, age, gender, race, religion, disability, or any aspects of your life  (including those that are an outcome of your own behaviour and choices ) that are individual to yourself. We here  to support YOU so please be brave and take the next step in your journey.

What We Can Help You With

At Fluid Psychotherapy there are three umbrella areas that we specialise in, within these there are further areas of specific specialism, please use the Discover More button to learn more, or use the contact form should you have any questions:

Psychosexual Therapy/Clinical Sexology is the specialism that covers a wide array of areas connected to many aspects of our sexual being, these may include:

Biological, psychological, social, environmental, cultural, historical

Recognising the impact and concerns around our relationship with sex, sexual self, sexual identity, sexual ability, as well as choice, trauma and communication as individuals or within our relationships, are also key aspects of this area of work.

Our connection with our own sexual self is much more than simply the psychical act of sex, it is a topic that impacts us all.

From the very moment of birth we are the outcome of a lifelong relationship with sex, and as we navigate life our experiences and decisions can feel often misunderstood or not valued by ourselves or others.

Each and every relationship is as unique as the individuals within it. Often the balancing of meeting the needs of our partner/partners can be complex and over time lead to a situation of stuckness where neither partner/partner’s can find a way forward, often leaving feelings of confusion frustration or loss around aspects of the relationship itself.

Therapy within relationships can create a safe space to explore, discover, safely be open, rebuild and to make pro active choices around relationships, it can be a hard process, but often extremely rewarding and has lifelong benefits.

At Fluid Psychotherapy we work with all Relationship Groups and have specialisms in diverse relationships covering areas of open, consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. We will always work with the diversity, individuality and needs of Your specific relationship.

The person-centered approach to counselling trusts that it is the client who knows themselves best and that the therapist’s task is not to advise or guide the client but rather to enable the client to make contact with their own inner experiencing and so find their own solutions to their issues.

 The core principles are to focus on you as a client and see you as a person and not as an outcome of your experiences or a diagnosis.

Key to this is that your therapist offers empathy, and congruence (being real) and has an absolute unconditional positive attitude towards you.  The space created, being very safe and accepting will encourage you to explore all that you bring and to navigate a positive way forward as well as become more aware of your essential self.

In partnership we can find movement out of stuckness and live from a place of strength and with more clarity.
