Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Positive change through therapy, for adults, teenagers and children.
Providing space to help you understand and prioritise your self.
Whatever you are going through, you don't have to work it out on your own. It can help to talk to someone outside of the situation. Do you need the time and opportunity to share the difficulties you are experiencing with your life? It takes courage to start to see a counsellor but receiving counselling can be a rewarding way forward.
My aim is to help you to alleviate your pain; by offering a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your problems. By developing a trusting relationship between us, in which you feel fully accepted and understood, we can take the steps towards the future you desire.
My approach is person centred, confidential, honest and collaborative. I believe we all have the ability to challenge how things are for us and to improve our circumstances. We can work together to explore and make sense of whatever is troubling you and look to heal the hurt. I won’t tell you what to do, but together we can find solutions, ways to cope, gain the insight to understand yourself better, and to grow and heal.
Above all I want you to know I am sincere and passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. Person centred therapy encourages acceptance, forgiveness, self-respect and love for yourself and others. Therapy isn't always a comfortable experience, it can be an emotional roller coaster, but it can be life changing.
"Talking to someone helped me out a lot. As a man, you get a lot of slack for it. I don't really subscribe to that. Everyone needs to unpack and talk". Michael Jordan
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door we do not see the one that has been opened for us". Helen Keller
How I can help
Reducing Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety and stress are common difficulties. They are also highly treatable. Anxiety can arise when difficult feelings are not being addressed or when life feels overwhelming. Therapy can help you understand why you feel this way so you can reclaim your life.
Dealing with Low Mood & Depression
No longer enjoying life? Do you feel isolated from loved ones or feel you can’t go on? Depression can develop when your mind shuts off from dealing with complex feelings. I can provide a safe place to explore your emotional state and feelings.
Developing Healthier Relationships
Having good relationships with family, friends, partners or work colleagues are important parts of an enjoyable life. If these relationships break down or aren't working like we would want them to, we may need support to find ways to deal with them or make improvements.
