A Space For You

Taking the first steps towards therapy is often the most difficult, and you have done that already by visiting this site.

Counselling can provide a space in which you can express and explore whatever is going on for you, knowing that the time will be free of interruptions and that you will be really listened to.

The aim of our sessions is to help you have a better understanding of yourself. Often the origin of our difficulties is in the past but the link may not always be obvious. Therapy can help you make connections between your past and your present, help you build resources within yourself and provide you with an opportunity to see a path forward where previously you may have thought there was none.

How I Work

I see my role of counsellor as that of a confidential and compassionate collaborator, supporting you towards solutions that are not imposed by me, but come from within you. As an Integrative Practitioner, I am able to work flexibly with you, with my approach being informed by different methods including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and EMDR with a person-centred approach. I very much commit to providing empathy, unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

Sessions will differ depending on what you decide you want to work on. At times you may want to work in the here and now, other times you may want to look at where issues have stemmed from in the past. Whatever we do together, we will go at your pace - you are the expert in your experience, and I will be there to facilitate you in understanding yourself better so that you can live more fully in the present.

My way of working is responsive to individual differences, so I learn something new from every individual I meet whilst remaining passionate to provide high quality and sensitive therapy.
