Maybe you've got particular challenges right now that you need some help to cope with or maybe you can't quite put your finger on one problem but you know that something needs to change and you're struggling to do that alone. Whatever it is that has led you to seek help I believe that the first step in making a change is finding connection with someone you can trust. Developing a secure therapeutic relationship can help you find greater self-acceptance, improve relationships, develop healthier ways to cope and process difficult experiences safely. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the person-centred approach.
As a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist I offer the conditions of safety and acceptance in which you can access self-reflection and inner wisdom. We all respond to our life experiences in different ways and sometimes our experiences can have a profound impact on how we think, feel and behave. It is within human connection this can begin to shift.
I believe that you already hold within yourself everything you need to heal and grow. Together we can gently take down the barriers that stand in your way, allowing you to live a life in which you thrive. I invite you to contact me if you have any questions about my services or to make an appointment.

Most of my clients have experienced traumatic events or situations, or they are struggling to cope with some aspect of their life for other reasons. Through the connection that we build together my clients find that they have a deeper level of understanding and powerful self-acceptance. These changes can have a significant effect on their relationships and the way they experience the world.
