Counselling in Kendal

I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.

Counselling is very normal, and completely transformational at the same time. I offer you a safe, confidential space to be you. Here we can explore what is troubling you, what's working for you and what isn't; who you are, and what you want out of life. Give yourself the time to simply sit down, breathe and talk freely. I am a warm, thoughtful, sensitive, and empathic therapist, and I bring compassion, intuition, creativity, humour, and an eye for life’s details into my practice. Alongside my formal training I draw from a broad life experience including motherhood, travel, a career in cake design, and my own therapeutic journey.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support and have the professional experience to join you on your journey. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and by creating a non-judgmental, safe and confidential space, we are able to be alongside you and support you through challenging times as we explore your feelings and emotions together. Trusting relationships heal!

Sometimes life can be difficult, and we feel we need a little extra help. I am a highly experienced, empathic, and creative therapist, working with children, young people, and adults who may be experiencing stress and low mood, worries, or feel down about themselves. I also support individuals who have experienced trauma, or are struggling with bereavement of difficult life experiences. I have training and experience in both therapeutic person centred counselling, creative therapies, and cognitive behavioural therapy, so can adapt my approach to meet your needs. Being a mum of 3, I understand how important support is for families.

Do you feel like you’ve lost yourself or as though life is a struggle? Are you finding it hard to live life in the way that you want? If so I believe I can help. Through one-to-one therapy sessions, I can support you to find clarity, calm, balance, and the tools to live a more fulfilled life as the very best version of you. I work with a variety of difficulties and have a particular interest and specialism in helping people who may be struggling to adjust to significant life events e.g. becoming a parent, menopausal changes, long term health conditions as well as people who have high standards or may be prone to self-criticism.

I am a qualified Person-Centred psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I will provide you a non judgemental, accepting and empathic environment, where we can look more closely at the distress you are feeling and how it is impacting your life. We will explore what your needs are and with that your decisions and potential for growth can become clearer and more fully formed. By creating a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can navigate your thoughts, feelings and experiences (past and present) to better understand how they have worked together to form your understanding of who you are and how you perceive yourself in the world.

I will provide you with the space to explore complex difficulties that life can throw at us. Sometimes life events can affect us deeply and it can be difficult to reach out for help. I hope to be able to make this path easier for you and between us we can move you forward to that contented, peaceful and happy place you are wanting to get to. I use a variety of methods to address issues to help create meaningful discussions that promote healing and self-reflection.

Do you feel like you're going round and round with a problem - maybe with a relationship or how you see yourself? Maybe you don't know how you want things to be, or you know what you want but can't work out how to do it, or don't have the courage to follow through?

Are you feeling anxious, angry, rejected, or unimportant? Whatever your issues, I can help you talk about and process them, find solutions, and feel more at ease with yourself
