About
Firstly, congratulations on finding the courage to take the first step towards seeking help, which is often the most difficult one to take. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and exhausted? Are you having relationship or family issues? Has this global crisis tipped you over the edge of coping? Are you aware of suppressing unresolved feelings from previous trauma that you no longer feel able to contain? Counselling can help to make sense of what is at the root of your issues. Our respectful, authentic and honest relationship can help you feel strong and safe enough to face up to your reality and make the changes you need to.
I can offer you the safe, empathic, confidential and impartial environment you need to explore your issues tentatively. The trust builds between us to enable you to safely un burden yourself in a way that, perhaps, you've never done so before. My role is to be alongside you throughout, offering encouragement, respect, understanding, honesty and compassion.
I will not judge or criticise but gently and compassionately challenge your way of thinking and perspective which will lead to you exploring the choices you have and maybe even ones you haven't considered before. Feeling valued by me consistently as our sessions continue you start to let go of the preconceptions you have held of yourself for far too long.
