Are you struggling with bereavement, anxiety or depression? Experiencing relationship issues or low self-worth? Feeling trapped in a cycle of negative thinking and unhealthy ways of coping? Maybe your way of coping has now become the problem; addictions or avoidance. If you are longing for change and need a safe accepting space to identify what that is and work towards it; I can help. Together, we can work to set goals, make changes, identify and break behavioural patterns, validate your feelings, process past trauma and reframe thoughts. Hopefully resulting in an improvement to your wellbeing, mental health and life overall.
I choose to work using an integrative approach, as I believe this gives me the freedom to tailor therapy to your needs. We will explore your past to see how that’s impacting your present situation. Consider all aspects of your life and if you are living a life that is true to your values. And evaluate the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing.
I retrained as a therapist after engaging in therapy changed my life. This insight helps me to empathise with how difficult it can feel to seek support and share vulnerabilities. I aim to communicate warmth and acceptance to my clients, with the hope that you will feel comfortable to work together. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
