You are unique, and so how we work together will also be unique. I can help you explore any issues, working together to deepen your self-awareness, emotional processing and resilience. Though you may struggle to believe this at first, I believe you are the expert on yourself, and I will support you in finding different perspectives to effectively face current challenges and past issues.

You may be looking for counselling because you have a specific problem that you hope to resolve, or you may just feel a sense of dissatisfaction, anxiety, or unhappiness, and want to discover why, and how this can change.

Working with you, I can offer:

• Genuine understanding and attentive listening without fear of being judged

• Support to tune into yourself so you can understand what you truly need

• Help to recognise and embrace your emotions

• Deeper understanding of who you are in relationship with others

• Ways to enhance your self-compassion and your ability to cope with uncertainty.

I mainly use aspects from Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I find the flexibility and creativity of this integrative approach helps me personalise therapy for each of my clients. I hold a Counselling Postgraduate Diploma and am a member of the BACP and ACC.
