Milan Oatley

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor working with adults on a short or long-term basis. I offer a space, through psychodynamic counselling, to think about yourself. To understand and appreciate yourself and discover perhaps why you are experiencing what you are in your life. I believe we are all individual and entirely unique and my approach is open, understanding and respectful of your individuality and experiences. I am registered and committed member of the BPC.

What to Expect

Psychodynamic work believes that events in our near and distant past, especially childhood, can determine how we approach every aspect of our current day to day lives. We may not be aware we behave how we do but these templates are set down and sit within our unconscious personality at times.

These templates can have a positive effect on our lives but some can have a negative effect and hinder how you move on and experience life – they may force us to be defensive or mobilise symptoms to ward off danger – this is our unconscious way of keeping us safe – especially in times of stress.

I work with clients to understand their past and how different experiences are unique to you as an individual. We think about how they have affected you and how they are manifesting in your day to day life. I also take notice of clients present, the here and now, current relationships and the relationship between counsellor, myself, and you, the client to inform us further.

I believe that being properly seen and noticed, for who you are, is immensely empowering and healing. This is what I offer clients.

What our clients say

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy with Margaret Capon 'I sought help with the executive function issues associated with dyslexia, dyscalculia and possible ADHD in order to be in the best place to study for a professional qualification whilst working. I found the results of working with Margaret to be incredible. I can quantify how much my function has improved and how much better I am at dealing with distraction, mental blocks, prioritisation and meeting deadlines without drama. The focus I have been able to achieve without going into exhausting hyperfocus has been unprecedented and I've been able to meet some tough objectives but also remembered to take breaks. It has been a joy to work with a practitioner who has an understanding of empathy with the neurodiverse functioning mind. The positive effect on all aspects of life have been such a boost And have freed up time and mental capacity. A huge thank you! Very much appreciated and happy travels! NP
