Navigating life can sometimes be challenging, invoking painful emotions and ways of coping and adapting, which may cause further pain. You may be experiencing difficult emotions, poor mental or physical health and/or been affected by significant life events, which are impacting your day-to-day life and your connection to yourself and others. You may be looking for a safe place to process your past and present experiences and feelings, without fear of judgement.
I believe counselling is a place to be heard, validated and emotionally held, providing a safe space to help make sense of your past, where you find yourself today and discover new tools to make informed choices about your future. I offer a safe, warm and supportive environment in which we can explore these together, drawing from a range of interventions.
The therapeutic relationship is the key to positive outcomes in therapy, so it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. That may or may not be me, as everyone is unique. Get in touch for a free initial consultation and ask any questions you have to get a feel for whether you would like to work with me. Please also check out my website.

Our difficulties today may be influenced by our past. When working with clients it is often helpful to explore their early and formative years. The intention is never to assign blame but to understand how early experiences may impact feelings, behaviours and attitudes today. Before going into any depth with this work, we would first establish ways to help keep you emotionally grounded.
