I provide a safe, supported space for clients to talk through whatever it is that has given rise to the thought: 'I could do with someone to help me out here'. Every person is unique, every individual brings their own story but the feeling that the problem is just too big to make any sense of is not so unusual. Often a client comes expressing feelings of aloneness and confusion as they try to find some order. It is not unusual for a client's first words to be: 'I don't know where to start'. Building trust in the therapy relationship is essential from the start and acceptance of the whole person is at the heart.
A person-centred approach aligns with the belief that key to transformation is the client's sense of empowerment and ownership of the process. We are on a level playing field, I am not positioned as an 'expert' in the way that perhaps we often see doctors or teachers. I do not offer solutions and this level of uncertainty can feel daunting.
Making this first step takes courage. It may have taken months, even years to have made this move. Sometimes a client may not know what 'the problem' is. Sometimes a client thinks they know. There is always a sense of mystery in the therapeutic journey as you develop a greater awareness of self but coming to therapy means there are two of us on the journey

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety and /or depression or trauma related to past events impacting on relationships. Counselling may involve a series of weekly sessions to talk about issues and feelings. Short term counselling involves around 8 weekly sessions. Longer term therapy can be for as long as you need and I draw on other psychological theories as we explore deeper.
