The most important thing first: No matter what place you’re in - there is hope for change and for things to get better. You may be reading this feeling vulnerable, disempowered, dejected, fearing disappointment or simply too overwhelmed to know how you feel. I'll meet you wherever you are and with whatever you bring and we can walk through your confusion and distress together. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of people with an equally diverse range of individual challenges. Spending time exploring your challenges can bring clarity, empower you to break with old patterns and help you find a positive way forward.
The basis of my work is person-centred and I offer a safe, professional but warm relationship defined by respect, honesty and empathy. I bring my skills as a counsellor into this relationship but consider YOU to be the expert of what it feels like to be you. I will do my very best to truly hear you and support you to find your own way.
I value everyone as unique, with their own potential, and aim to connect and work with you in a way that resonates with you as an individual. Be sure that I appreciate that starting something new is always a brave step to take, regardless of whether you have had counselling before or not. When you’re ready to take the leap of faith - I am here for you.
