People want counselling as they want to make a change for the better. I can help you identify what the problem is that you want to change, work out how to make changes that reduce the problem and improve your life. As you make better, healthier, happier choices, you will feel better about yourself and your life. You may be struggling with a relationship, a loved one close to you, or you may be struggling with an addiction. You may be not be happy about your work life balance, or struggling with parts of your past that you are not at peace with. I will work with you to help you like who you are and what you are doing.
I use a motivational interviewing style that is strength based and trauma informed. My dry British humour makes the hard work more fun. We will identify the problem, which is often more complex then we believe and encourage you to make changes to improve your life. I will support you to make peace with your past by looking at things differently.
Over the years I have learnt that people can form narratives that are credible and sound and they have held onto them for years. These stories have negative emotions attached to them such as shame. I work with people to have a better story about themselves, so that they can move through forgiving themselves to liking and loving themselves.

Being happy is hard work. I know this, as I practice this in my life daily. I use a strength based trauma informed approach to support people to improve their lives. I support people to identify what problems are getting in the way of their happiness. I work with them to make healthy habits (systems) that improve their lives. I help them to make peace with their past, by using narrative therapy.
