Hi there! I work with women struggling with difficult emotions and low self esteem. You may be seeking support through a specific life challenge or transition, to learn how to cope better, to explore painful or traumatic experiences or to change aspects of life that no longer serve you. Maybe you want to feel more confident, hold better boundaries, or perhaps you just want to feel at ease with yourself and in your relationships, work or life generally? If so, then I'm glad that you're seeking the support you deserve and I'd love to chat with you.

Hi there, my name's Odin. The idea of counselling can be pretty unsettling. But you've probably done the hardest part already - you're here and you've accepted the possibility you might need some help with whatever's going on for you. That's already a really big and brave step. If you decide you might like to work with me, then we can safely and confidentially, with respect, compassion, empathy and gentle honesty, have a look at whatever's concerning you. Whatever it is, however hard it feels, I'm here if you want to look at it together.

Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

I'm an integrative relational psychotherapist and I use my experience of talking and relating to you in sessions to understand your way of being in the world, how you make sense of it and how you relate to others. Your journey is unique. Every time I've been listened to and understood I've come away feeling cared for and valued with a new sense of worth. I've learned that change is inevitable and that how I care for myself in the present affects my future.

Therapist for Men. "How are you?" "Fine", "All good", "Not bad". Have you been asked this question and given a similar response? You've been putting a mask on for too long, trying to keep it together and be a 'man'. But now keeping that mask on is becoming harder and harder. I specialise in working with men and know the power of having someone to share with and not be judged in return, no matter what it is you're facing. I know because I've experienced it myself and I've seen countless clients experience the same thing.
