Querencia (ke-ren-cia) is a Spanish metaphysical concept meaning 'a place in which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home and the place you are your most authentic self.' The conditions I provide such as safety, security, confidentiality and non- judgement all contribute to providing your basic needs of safety and belonging. This then allows strength to start to begin to be regained.
As an creative integrative therapist I work with various approaches such as person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT to meet the needs of each individual client. Sometimes expressing difficult or suppressed emotion can be hard, so alongside talking therapy we can integrate creative processes such as art, journaling, visualisation and mindfulness.
I have a range of experience working with adults with issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement and low-self esteem. If you are feeling like you need to Regain Your Strength please feel free to get in touch for a free initial 15 minute chat and see if I am the right counsellor for you.

As an creative integrative counsellor I use person-centred, CBT, psychodynamic and creative interventions. We explore together, within a compassionate, safe, non-judgemental space, if your past is something that has maintained a sense of being stuck and needs some resolve and/or if you want to look at how your thoughts affect behaviours and emotions and start the process of becoming unstuck.
