I am a highly qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I work with adults, adolescents and children from the age of 5. My approach, though rooted in psychodynamic practice, can be adapted to suit your personal requirements. As a Psychodynamic Counsellor, I work with you to bring understanding to your current day anxieties, fears and beliefs. I explore your unconscious internal belief structures and try to help you make links between these and your current-day feelings and any reoccurring patterns in your life.
"A good therapist does not only show you the cracks in your story but shines a light right through them." This, from a leading psychoanalyst, illustrates just how important it is to choose the right person to build your therapeutic relationship with. To know your issues is one thing, to know where they emanate from is the very essence of personal healing.
Come and talk to someone who listens as well as hears you. I will walk alongside you and as we travel through your experiences, we will occasionally pause, reflect and think a little deeper. The purpose of our work is to unpack your stuff to process it and repack it in a more appropriate and organised way so you have the room to start living your best life!
