Taking the decision to seek therapy is daunting, but you're here because something is not right. Maybe you know what it is, maybe you're not sure. You may not be certain that you want to talk about it or it might be constantly at the front of your mind, but no-one's listening. You could also be confused about what therapy is or what type you think you might need. Imagine a safe, confidential space where you could talk without any fear of being judged and knowing that the person listening to you will always respond genuinely to you. This is what I will endeavour to offer you if you felt we could work together.
As a person centred therapist, my goal is to try to understand exactly how you feel by really listening to you. Then together, we will try to help you explore and maybe unpick some of the issues that are causing you distress. We may not be able to change the world, but perhaps we can work out a way for you to navigate it in a more comfortable way.
I will offer you warmth, empathy and positive regard for who you are, and sometimes I may challenge you. We will only however go where you want to take us. If you're not sure, reach out and we can have a 20 min phone (or zoom) chat to establish if I am the right therapist for you. No cost, no obligation.

I work in the person centred modality and believe strongly in the value of the therapeutic relationship. Whilst we will always be client-led, I will challenge you to look at things in different ways and we will explore how that impacts on you. I won't give you the solutions, but I will help you to work them out for yourself and set a new course you feel confident about.
