There are many experiences that can lead us to start therapy. Perhaps you have been experiencing uncomfortable emotions like anxiety / low mood; difficult or traumatic life events or bereavement; find yourself stuck in relational or behavioural patterns that are no longer serving you; or are struggling with the relationship you have with yourself. These are heavy experiences to carry on our own and in doing so, we may feel stuck in a cycle beyond our control. I am here to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, move towards your valued direction / change and support you to reclaim your life.
Even if we know we would like support, starting therapy can feel daunting for lots of reasons: "Is what I am experiencing ok to seek help for, what if they judge me, what if I don’t know how to talk?" If any of these resonate with you, then know that you are not alone in these worries, and that wanting support is always valid, no matter what it is for.
I focus on building a relationship between us that feels safe, non-judgemental, compassionate and responsive to you. I am trained in evidence-based therapies of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a range of Trauma Focussed Therapy. I will match my approach to what best suits your needs
