Most of us will experience difficulties that we need support and help with. Therapy is one way to get help and involves talking openly and honestly with a sensitive and skilled listener, to agree and work towards meaningful change. It is a relational process, because talking to a professional about our difficulties requires safety and trust, which develops in the context of the therapy relationship. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, especially when that means talking to a stranger. You don't have to face things on your own.
I work from a pluralistic model of counselling, meaning different approaches appeal to different people. I'll listen carefully, check that I've understood your goals and preferences, and agree a way of working together that sounds most helpful to you. My work is trauma skilled and have specialist experience of domestic abuse and suicide.
We often turn to therapy when we feel powerless to change our difficulties. I care about how different forms of power impact our mental health and believe there's a link between feeling powerless and psychological distress. I use this approach in working with domestic abuse but it applies in most circumstances, especially in an increasingly divisive society.
