I wonder how it is for you right now, maybe it's difficult to find the right words to explain how you're feeling? My personal style is to be gentle, patient, warm and creative. I believe change emerges when we are really seen, heard and valued. I will work with you to discover how life is for you, what may be stuck or holding you back and how to move forward. I believe the therapy journey is created together, where we explore what works best for you in session. We will work at a safe and gentle pace.
In addition to traditional talking psychotherapy I offer the option to use creative materials and expression (art, poetry, sound, drama). I can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, low self esteem and more. Together we can consider the impact of early life experiences and how well-meaning internal defences maybe showing up now.
I have a special interest in working with young adults, but have experience of working across all life stages. I offer a free consultation with your enquiry so that we can discuss what you might be looking for in therapy. Our initial chat is a great way to explore if our working alliance might be a good fit. Whatever you choose I wish you the very best.
